Shopping at Epcot can turn in to a marathon sport for me, and I especially love hitting all of the wonderful small shops within the World Showcase Pavilions. Being a Princess at heart I love to go for the sparkle when it comes to souvenirs and one of my very favorite sparkly shops can be found in Epcot's German Pavilion. Kunstarbeit In Kristal, is the place where crystal jewelry and fine collectibles by Swarovski, Princessa Plata, Arribas, Arnstadt, Nachtmann, and many more shimmer and dance with light to illuminate ever corner of the store.

The 20th Anniversary Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is fast coming upon us (2015 dates run from September 25th until November 16th) and while the Marketplace Booths located around World Showcase Lagoon don't open until 11:00AM there's still plenty of Epicurean fun when Epcot Park opens up at 9:00am.

Now is the time of year that fashion loving Disney fans begin to plan their costumes for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. However if you don't want to go in all out costume, consider doing some closet cosplay and "Disneybounding" for some character inspired style. Today's fun ensemble is light as a breeze, and inspired by Disney's Pocahontas.

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party returns to the Magic Kingdom this fall for 20 select nights starting November 8 and running through December 18. Tickets are available for this hard-ticket special event that includes festive decorations, holiday fireworks, and more.
