CRUSH OR FLUSH IS BACK!  Thanks for all your feedback- we have so much fun doing these episodes.

Today, we’re diving fork-first into EPCOT’s world of snacks in a battle of taste buds we like to call… Crush It or Flush It! 

From ice cream snacks to questionable creations around World Showcase, we’re putting EPCOT’s most talked-about bites to the ultimate test. Will they be a must-have or a never-again?

We all have those Disney experiences we think we won’t like… and then we try them and realize we were SO wrong! 😲 In this episode, we break down 10 Disney and Universal adventures we almost skipped—but ended up loving. From rides we feared to underrated restaurants and hidden gems, this list will change how you plan your next theme park trip!
