food IS a theme park
When we’re in EPCOT craving a snack, the Japan Pavilion is our go-to spot. Where else in Disney World can you get sushi, sake, and kakigōri all in one place?
A5 Wagyu Nigiri Combo
We love the quick-service stand Kabuki Cafe for a quick, authentic meal, but recently, we saw a new menu item that shook us to our core – you can now get quick-service wagyu in Disney World!
Put on your chef hats and grab your park essentials, because it’s time to wine and dine in Disney style at the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! The festival runs from August 27th through November 21st, 2026, so you have plenty of time to prep for the best EPCOT fest.
EPCOT Food & Wine Festival

Disney World is always evolving, and 2026 has already brought a wave of changes that guests need to know about before they visit.
Let’s party!
Whether it’s a brand-new attraction shaking up how lines work, a parking policy crackdown at Disney Springs, or a beloved classic coaster lowering its height requirement, things are shifting fast. If you’re planning a trip this year, staying ahead of these updates could genuinely make or break your day. Here are four new rules Disney World is enforcing right now.
Welcome back to Tiny Train Town updates with Madam Mayor!
Let’s go to Tiny Train Town!
If you’ve never come along with me on a visit to Disney World’s itty bitty city, then you’re in for a wild ride! The tiny train village in the Germany Pavilion at EPCOT is full of shenanigans and ne’er-do-wells, and as the mayor of the village, it’s my job to report on all the nonsense. Let’s go see what they’re up to!
We tried some NEW treats in Disney World recently!
She’s a beaut!
We’re constantly on the lookout for new snacks dropping around the parks, resorts, and Disney Springs, and when we find things to try, we share those reviews with our followers! This way, you guys know what the must-have treats are for your upcoming vacations. We just tried four new items in Hollywood Studios and EPCOT — should you get them? Let’s find out!
We are proud Disney Adults, and that means we might notice things that other people don’t notice. One of those things was new trash cans!
EPCOT
While it doesn’t seem very exciting to some, these small additions make us feel like the parks are getting a refresh. We saw them in EPCOT, but good news — you’re going to see more.
Thanks to the addition of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and a massive increase in the usage of EPCOT’s International Gateway entrance thanks to the Skyliner, the World Showcase’s France Pavilion — and its Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie — has gotten much busier in recent years, and it’s created an issue.
Quite the line!
Les Halles is a traditional French bakery which offers a full menu, ranging from soups and salads to fresh baguette sandwiches and pastries, as well as wine, champagne, beer, and gourmet coffees. However, one thing the eatery doesn’t offer? Mobile Order.
Every time we visit the Disney World parks, we always make sure to keep an eye out for any new and fun merchandise. We always want you to know all of your souvenir options, so you can decide what needs to come home with you on your next Disney vacation.
EPCOT Monorail
And we just found a super cool (and cheap!) souvenir that you need to check out next time you’re in EPCOT! [Read more…]
We’ve got MASSIVE news that just came out of EPCOT, and it’s got us VERY excited for what’s coming in July!

Refreshment Port near the Canada Pavilion has been closed for months now, but it was announced that it would be turning into La Poutinerie, sponsored by Air Canada, later this year. There was no opening date for the new spot, only the information that it was on its way, but now that’s changed — this new spot will officially be opening in July!
We hope you like cheese and carbs because EPCOT is about to be even MORE full of them!

La Poutinerie is replacing Refreshment Port, which was already known for its poutine dishes. The new spot will be sponsored by Air Canada, and promises to bring “a Canadian classic with a twist.” Disney has just announced that La Poutinerie will open on Canada Day, July 1st, and we’ve got a first look at the menu — so let’s get into it!
