Disney's Epcot offers countless dining options, but is Connections Eatery worth your precious park time and dining credits? We're pulling up a chair to give you the unfiltered scoop straight from our family's lunch table.Navigating the bustling atmosphere of this World Celebration eatery at 2pm (still surprisingly packed!), we put Disney's Quick Service Dining Plan to the test with a variety of menu items. The hand-breaded chicken sandwich delivered solid flavor without excessive breading, though the accompanying black garlic truffle fries proved divisive—enjoyable in small doses but overwhelming as a full side. Meanwhile, the Flower and Garden Festival's hot honey chicken sandwich hit the perfect balance of heat and sweetness, complemented wonderfully by pickles for a contrasting crunch.The real star? Connections' pizza. With gigantic slices that practically count as double portions, the $11.29 cheese pizza stands as one of Epcot's best quick-service values. Our family debate about sauce levels (some wanting more, others preferring the lighter approach) highlights how this adaptable menu caters to different palates. All these options—plus alcoholic beverages like Oregon's Rainstorm Pinot Noir Rosé—were completely covered by our Quick Service Dining Plan credits.Beyond food, we share our refreshingly laid-back approach to park touring. Arriving during Early Entry without the rope-drop rush, we walked straight onto Soarin', Figment, and Nemo before experiencing the "big party" atmosphere of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This relaxed strategy sparked fascinating family discussions about park touring philosophies—are you Team Rope Drop or Team Take-It-Easy?Ready to plan your perfect Epcot day?

Hey Ohana, On this episode we're diving into what we think is both one of the most important and underrated attractions in all of Walt Disney World...The Walt Disney World Railroad! And you can't possibly talk about the WDW Railroad without also getting into Walt and his own personal love of trains. So with the help of our friend Jim Smith (of Disney Facts and Figment fame), we get into Walt's early love of trains, how that transferred to the parks, a breakdown of the attraction itself, and a little chat about another special location outside of Magic Kingdom that shares Walt's passion for trains with visitors! After giving the episode a listen, head over to our FB group to continue the conversation and let us know if a ride on the WDW Railroad is a must-do when you visit our favorite place. Thanks again for tuning in and as always...See Ya Real Soon! DISCLAIMER: We are not an affiliate of the Walt Disney Company nor do we speak for the brand or the company.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Disney held an inventory conference this week and we got some news on upcoming movies and maybe some new Figment content. The 90s was a wild time for Disney parks.  Michael Eisner was in the midst of his Disney Decade expansion plans to add new parks and attractions all over the world.  Plus Disney World was starting to become the vacation destination we know today. But it wasn't smooth sailing the entire time. Euro Disney opened in the early part of the decade over budget and to underwhelming crowds.  The weak launch of the new parks put a major financial strain on the company that impacted a lot of Eisner's grand plans. Today we count down the top parks, attractions and lands whose cancellations can be tied back to the financial struggles of Euro Disney. Submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode.

Send us a textIn this episode of Accio the Mouse, we're back from EPCOT's Festival of the Arts, where we ate our weight in artistic snacks, tried (and failed) to paint like professionals, and debated whether or not Figment would make a good roommate. Spoiler: he's way too chaotic.But the news doesn't stop there! Disney and Universal updates are coming in hot. On a more bittersweet note, Jellyrolls at Disney's BoardWalk is closing, meaning no more late-night dueling piano shenanigans (pour one out for the best sing-alongs ever). And if that wasn't enough, MuppetVision 3D is closing in June, so get your last doses of Statler and Waldorf heckling while you can.And finally, we talk about our upcoming RunDisney event—where we'll be running, sweating, and possibly questioning every decision that led us here. Will we survive? Will we trip over a character meet-and-greet? Will we justify a post-run cupcake with “carb loading”?
