Exploring Epcot’s World Showcase: Must-Try Foods


EPCOT is known for its festivals, which are fantastic, but they can sometimes overshadow the year-round culinary delights found in the World Showcase Pavilions. Here are some of our favorite non-festival food items that you can enjoy throughout the year.

Mexico

Choza de Margarita has become my go-to spot in the Mexico Pavilion. Tucked away outside the iconic pyramid, this gem offers a variety of margaritas, including rotating seasonal options, and delicious snacks like empanadas. It’s a great value compared to the Mexico-inspired festival booths.

Norway

The Norway Pavilion has gained popularity with the addition of Frozen, but it’s also home to Kringla Bakeri og Kafe, a long-time favorite of mine. The school bread, a sweet cardamom bun filled with vanilla custard and topped with coconut, is a must-try. I also recommend the lefse, a soft flatbread rolled with cinnamon, sugar, and butter.

China

To avoid getting too full while exploring, I like to grab a refreshing tea from The Joy of Tea booth along the water. They offer a variety of delightful tea beverages, perfect for sipping while you browse the beautiful shops or watch the Circlevision movie.

Germany

For all your caramel cravings, Karamell-Küche is the place to be. They offer a wide range of caramel treats, from fresh-made caramel corn to classic caramel squares, cookies, and cupcakes. The caramel corn is a great snack to save for later.

Italy

Via Napoli is our top pick for pizza in Epcot. This popular restaurant is known for its authentic Neapolitan pizza, so be sure to make advanced dining reservations.

America

Nothing beats a Root Beer Float from the American Pavilion on a hot Florida day. It’s a simple yet refreshing treat that my family loves.

Japan

Kaki Gori is a must-try in the Japan Pavilion. This shaved ice treat comes in various flavors and is perfect for cooling down.

Morocco

The Morocco Pavilion offers a variety of delicious options, but one standout is the Baklava from the Oasis Sweets & Sips. This sweet pastry is layered with nuts and honey, making it a delightful treat.

France

The France Pavilion is known for its festival food, but it also has plenty of year-round options. One of the most unique is the brioche ice cream sandwich from L’Artisan des Glaces. The warm brioche and cold ice cream create a unique and delicious contrast.

United Kingdom

A trip to Epcot isn’t complete without stopping by the Yorkshire County Fish Shop for some classic Fish and Chips. It’s perfect for lunch or an afternoon snack.

Canada

Don’t miss the Maple Popcorn in the Canada Pavilion. This sweet and savory treat is a great snack to enjoy while exploring.

Cruising with a Baby: A Complete Guide

You took a baby on a cruise!? Yep, and I'd do it again knowing what I know now. So, say goodbye to months of research - Everything you need to know is here!! One of the biggest challenges of traveling with a baby is planning what you need to bring. I wanted to share what worked for us, and hopefully help others who are planning their cruise! Remember, babies can only cruise after their 6-month birthday on sailings from the U.S. If you are going transatlantic, or have more than three days out at sea, they must be 12 months old by the first day of your cruise. Pre-Cruise   We flew to the cruise port, and I couldn’t bring all the food and snacks I needed, so I placed an Instacart order for pick up near the port. I chose Publix in Cocoa Beach which is a few miles from Port Canaveral. I placed the order a few days before we left home, and set the pickup time to 11:00 a.m. I ordered formula, a box of diapers, swim diapers, bottle brush, dish soap, baby food, and baby snacks. I also broug...
