Hi Shannon! Welcome to planDisney! Greetings from this side of the Atlantic!
EPCOT has steadily become my favorite park to visit at Walt Disney World! Not only has it increased the number of attractions, but it has also added my all-time favorite in Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind! This ride is exhilarating, thrilling, and wildly entertaining. It's quickly become a must-ride on every visit!
Each of the EPCOT festivals has continued to grow in popularity every year. So much so that there is hardly a time throughout the year when one is not taking place. However, there are small pockets of time in between each one when the park is getting ready for the next festival. When this happens, the food booths that are utilized are closed and getting revamped for the next. While these booths may not be open, the dining locations, kiosks, and booths that are open year-round in the World Showcase are operating. You'll still be able to get a taste of each country as you explore the pavilions.
Some of my favorite places to eat and drink around the World Showcase are open year-round.
Choza de Margarita is located in the Mexican pavilion and serves some of the best margaritas and empanadas that you will taste. If you're looking for something sweeter,
Sommerfest in the German pavilion has a Pretzel Bread Pudding that is a must-try. It has a caramel, vanilla sauce that pairs perfectly with this treat!
Shannon, I hope you have a magical holiday!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
