Summary

We’re heading to EPCOT for a snack-filled adventure around World Showcase and beyond, where we put some of the park’s most popular bites to the test in our ongoing series: Eat It or Beat It. This time, we’re diving fork-first into ten of EPCOT’s most talked-about treats—judging each one based on taste, value, portion size, and overall experience to help you decide if they’re worth your time (and money) or if you should skip them altogether. We’re talking about long-standing staples like School Bread from Norway, the buttery Fish and Chips from the UK, and the beloved Traditional Poutine near Canada, as well as sweet sensations like the Liege Waffle at Connections Café, Pretzel Bread Pudding from Germany, and the decadent Werther’s Original Caramel Snickerdoodle Cookie Sandwich. We even cool things down with a trip to Japan for a refreshing Kakigōri, explore maple-flavored goodness with Maple Popcorn, and wrap things up with the warm-pressed ice cream-filled Croque Glacé from France. Plus, we dig into the history and cultural roots of each item, share fun facts you may not know, and offer our own verdicts: Eat It or Beat It? Whether you’re a Disney foodie looking to plan your next snack crawl or just hungry for some EPCOT flavor from home, this episode is a can’t-miss guide to the best (and not-so-best) bites in the park. So grab your virtual fork and napkin—let’s eat our way around the world!
