food IS a theme park
The magic of Disney is how one day we’re piling up cookies like a delicious Jenga tower, and the very next day we’re washing down grasshoppers with mezcal!
Mexico Pavilion
Only in Disney World! And only for a special anniversary celebration taking place TODAY at La Cava del Tequila in EPCOT!
The day has finally arrived and the EPCOT Festival of the Arts is officially here! And we’re HERE trying out all the amazing food now available at the food studios!
El Artista SPREAD
We’re not going to lie — the El Artista Hambriento (The Hungry Artist) Food Studio in Mexico tends to be one of our favorites, and this year’s menu did NOT disappoint! SO much spice. So much chocolate mousse. So much goodness.
We have eaten our way around EPCOT a LOT, all in the name of science, of course!
Epcot World Showcase
While some snacks have been a total WIN for us, others have been disappointing or just not worth the calories or price! Want to know what food we’d skip? You’ve GOT to check out our list.
Hello from EPCOT, DFB friends!
EPCOT
We headed out to take a walk around the park to see what’s new and we’ve got a ton of updates to share! Let’s get started!
We love EPCOT’s World Showcase — it literally gives us a chance to shop (and eat!) around the world in one day!
Mexico Pavilion
We’ve recently been able to buy some merchandise fit for a (little) chef in the France Pavilion, some awesome Italian-themed merchandise, and some shirts suited for beer-lovers in the Germany Pavilion! And now, we’ve just spotted some brand new Mexico-themed merch at EPCOT’s Mexico Pavilion!
Has anyone ever told you that you have too many Mickey or Minnie ears? Well, we are here to tell you that you do NOT need that kind of negativity in your life!
Sorcerer Mickey Ears
There are SO many incredible Mickey and Minnie ears out there — how could you pick just 1 (or 5, or even 10)?! We’ve especially loved seeing all of the ears themed to the different countries around World Showplace (ummm hello fabulous France ears), but today we found some ears in the Mexico pavilion that may be our NEW favorite!
San Angel Inn is one of those restaurants where the MAIN draw is the atmosphere. It’s all about location, baby, and this restaurant is INSIDE the big pyramid in EPCOT’s Mexico Pavilion where it feels like you’re actually dining alongside a lazy river on the bank of a river with a volcano in the distance!
San Angel Inn
This isn’t your typical tex-mex chain style food. It’s going for a more authentic take on Mexican cuisine and the result can be….hit or miss. Some things are REALLY good, while others haven’t wowed us. The inconsistency of the food has turned us off from this spot for a while, but the lure of a Disney water scented restaurant (if you know, you KNOW) called us back. How does the food compare now to the last time we were here? We decided to revisit San Angel Inn and see what’s up.
We’re always looking for the latest and greatest snacks around Disney World, but especially in EPCOT!
Time to Visit the Mexico Pavilion
Did you know you can get guacamole at not one, not two, but THREE different spots all in the Mexico pavilion in EPCOT? In the interest of science (of course) we HAD to try them all. Welcome to the Mexico pavilion Guacamole THROW DOWN! Who will emerge victorious?
We want to wish a VERY happy birthday to La Cava del Tequila!
La Cava del Tequila
This tequila lounge in the Mexico Pavilion at EPCOT, best known for its La Cava Avocado margarita and shots of tequila, turned 11 years old earlier this week!
Since EPCOT re-opened, you KNOW that means we’ve been visiting La Cava del Tequila at the Mexico Pavilion!
Teremana Blanco
While we’ve noticed multiple health and safety regulations in place around the pavilions already, Disney has continued to update what measures they’re taking to protect guests and Cast Members. Although EPCOT has instilled a new face mask policy and temperature checks, distancing markers and directional signs on the ground have been put in place to make sure that everyone is safely kept apart from one another.
