We’re here at the first day of the 2022 Festival of the Holidays in EPCOT — and it’s time for COOKIES! 2021 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays The Festival of the Holidays brings all kinds of holiday goodies and entertainment to EPCOT but one of our favorite activities is the Cookie Stroll, which tasks guests with eating a number of cookies in order to earn a prize. Let’s take a look at this year’s cookies! Raise your hand if you’re ready to eat cookies! (Technically, we’re always ready to eat cookies). If you want to do the Cookie Stroll, just grab a Festival Passport for the list of qualifying cookies and booths. Make sure you get a stamp from the booth Cast Member for each cookie you purchase — that’s how you get to earn a prize! Collecting Cookie Stamps along the way! First up is the Chocolate Crinkle Cookie made with DOVE Dark Chocolate. You can find this cookie at the American Holiday Table in the American Adventure Pavilion. Chocolate Crinkle Cookie This cookie cost $3 and it’s been a favorite of ours for a LONG time — this year isn’t any different. This might even be our fave cookie this year! Click here for our review of the American Holiday Table! Next up is the Linzer Cookie at the Bavaria Holiday Kitchen in the Germany Pavilion. Linzer Cookie You can grab this cookie for $3, and we’re happy/sad to say that this was our favorite cookie last year and this one remains a must-get on our list!

Here’s Everything You Can Find At Holiday Hearth Desserts! Now we’re trying the Black and White Cookie at L’Chaim, which we liked last year compared with previous years! Black and White Cookie You can find L’Chaim in the Morocco Pavilion for $3. We’ve had mixed reviews about this cookie in the past, but stepped up its game last year and impressed us again this year. Here’s our review of L’Chaim! This Snickers-Doodle Cookie is made with Snickers bar pieces and it’s available at the Yukon Holiday Kitchen. This cookie was new last year and it’s back again! SNICKERS-Doodle Cookie made with SNICKERS bar pieces You can find this book over in the Canada Pavilion, and it cost $3. This cookie is VERY rich and sweet, so you might want to share it!

It’s made with M&Ms! You can get it for $3.49. Jingle Sugar Cookie made with M&M’S chocolate candies You can also grab the Holiday Sugar Cookie at Connections Cafe. First off, this cookie is HUGE.

Are you ready? Are you excited? Because TODAY is the start of the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays! 2022 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays! We’ve been preparing for this day by reading the menus, creating a DFB printable for the booths that you can download for FREE, and sharing our best tips for EPCOT festivals. It’s already been a great day of eating food at EPCOT’s most festive festival and we’re continuing with the Yukon Holiday Kitchen! Menu The Yukon Holiday Kitchen is located at the Canada pavilion and the menu is home to some hearty options at the festival including scallops! 2022 Menu There are no new menu items this year, but let’s see how these returning eats and drinks hold up! Eats Let’s start with the Seared Scallops that come with parsnip silk, apple chutney, and hazelnut croquant for $6.75. In the past, we’ve found that the garnishes add a great flavor to the creamy parsnip silk, so what is the dish like this year? Seared Scallops with parsnip silk, apple chutney, and hazelnut croquant It probably won’t surprise you to hear that we loved the scallops just as much this year — it always feels like you’re getting a really good value with this dish. We did have one scallop that was perfectly cooked and one that was a little bit chewy, but they did have a great sear on them and excellent flavor. The parsnip silk tastes like a super fine mashed potato purée! It is a smaller portion, so keep that in mind. The Yukon Holiday Kitchen is another stop on the Cookie Stroll! It is home to the SNICKERS-Doodle Cookie made with SNICKERS bar pieces for $3. This was the sweetest and richest cookie we tried today — it’s definitely a Snickers cookie. The cookie itself tasted like a regular sugar cookie with a hint of peanut butter, and the Snickers pieces on top were an added fun bonus. SNICKERS-Doodle Cookie made with SNICKERS bar pieces After a hearty meal at this booth, we had to see what the drinks were like! Drinks There are several different drinks on the menu here with one non-alcoholic option — Frozen Coffee for $4.50. It’s a classic frozen coffee, but nothing you probably haven’t already had before. Frozen Coffee (2018) You can also get the Frozen Coffee with Tap 357 Whisky for $12.50. It’s the same coffee with whiskey and although it’s strong, it’s very balanced and we would drink it again! Frozen Coffee with Tap 357 Whisky at EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays (2020) On top of the Regional Icewine and Regional Red Wine, you can grab 3 beers here — the 81Bay Brewing Co. Peanut Butter Banana Porter, the Playalinda Brewing Co. Maple Cookie Blonde Ale, and the Collective Arts Coffee Maple Porter. These are available in a beer flight as well for $10. Peanut Butter Banana Porter (2021) That’s everything from the Yukon Holiday Kitchen! Overall Yukon Holiday Kitchen is a solid festival booth, but all the items this year were returning and nothing really wowed us. The scallops are great for being a festival dish and we do enjoy them, but we’ve had them before. Same with the beef bourguignon –it’s a solid snack and can even be a meal if you want, but it wasn’t knock your socks off good. If you’re looking for consistency and familiar flavors, though — this could be a hit for you! Full spread Stay tuned to DFB for more booth reviews at EPCOT Festival of the Holidays!

The EPCOT Festival of the Holidays is HERE. Festival of the Holidays We’ve been making our way through all of the Festival booths, checking out the merchandise, and exploring EVERYTHING the Festival has to offer. But for now, we’re heading to the Tuscany Holiday Kitchen by the Italy pavilion to grab some NEW dishes! Menu This year, Tuscany Holiday Kitchen is serving up a bunch of NEW eats. In fact, all 3 food items are NEW, but all of the drinks are returning. Menu 2022 Let’s dive into this booth to see whether any of those new items will become MUST gets. Eats Up first we have the NEW Tortellini in Brodo. This is a five-cheese tortellini with house-made aromatic winter truffle broth and chives. It’s priced at $9.50. This dish was, unfortunately disappointing. We were expecting more from it and it just didn’t deliver. Now, that doesn’t mean that the dish is BAD. It’s just…okay. Tortellini in Brodo Let’s just say we were thankful that there was cheese in this. Unfortunately, the sauce included just didn’t really do anything for the tortellini. It really didn’t add any strong flavors to the dish. Instead, it tasted more like tortellini in a water/oil mixture. FINALLY, we found something at Tuscany Holiday Kitchen that we can get behind! This bread pudding was really creamy and delicious! If you like bread pudding, this is one we’d actually recommend trying as we think it’s one you’ll really enjoy! Panettone Bread Pudding And that wraps up the eats portion of this booth, but there are drinks to check out too! Drinks The drinks here include some basics, like Prosecco for $11.50, and Moscato for $12. You’ll also find a Banfi Rosa Regale for $12, and Italian Sangria Red or White for $12. Italian White and Italian Red Sangria | 2021 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival There’s also an Italian Margarita with tequila and limoncello ($12), which has been a BEST of the Fest pick for us in the past. The drink is usually incredibly refreshing, which we love. But be warned, the drink is VERY tart — so you may want to skip it if that’s not exactly your jam. Italian Margarita Finally, you can grab a Peroni Pilsner here for $6.50 for 6 oz and $11 for 12 oz. Overall Overall, Tuscany Holiday Kitchen has come back with returning drinks (including a big favorite — that Italian Margarita) and ALL NEW eats. The Tortellini and Salmone, however, disappointed us. The real winner here was that Panettone bread pudding. So if you want to pick that up with the Italian Margarita you can at least grab a tasty drink with a sweet treat. Back in 2021, the booth is one we said was “most improved,” but sadly we can’t exactly say the same about this year’s menu.

Looks like we’ll have to wait and see what happens here! Holiday Decorations As part of the holiday season, EPCOT has now been decked out in Christmas decor all over! We’ve seen wreaths on festival booths, garlands on gift shops, and of course, a giant tree at the entrance to World Showcase. EPCOT Tree The stunning tree is topped with an angel holding a globe and has nods to all the World Showcase countries throughout. Snap a photo with it if you’re visiting soon!

We’re BACK at one of the best events of the year in Disney World — the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays! 2022 Booth There is so much to see, do, eat, and drink at this festival, and we’re just getting started! We’re making our way to all of the holiday food booths, and now it’s time to see what they’re serving up over at American Holiday Table! Menu You’ll find traditional holiday foods typically served in the United States at American Holiday Table, and this year there’s one NEW item we’re excited to check out — the Blackened Catfish with Hoppin’ John and comeback sauce. 2022 Menu Not only that, but there’s the returning Slow-roasted Turkey with BEN’S ORIGINAL Stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, and cranberry sauce, plus a cookie, and several beers too! Food We’re pretty excited to check out the newest item on this menu — the Blackened Catfish with Hoppin’ John and comeback sauce for $6.50. As a bonus, this dish is gluten/wheat friendly! Blackened Catfish with Hoppin’ John and comeback sauce MOVE OVER, all other EPCOT Festival dishes. Seriously, this may be one of the best foods we’ve ever eaten at any EPCOT festival — and we have been to A LOT of them. The catfish was super flaky and cooked perfectly, although it did have a fish flavor to it — but not in an overly fishy way. There was plenty of the blackening seasoning, which was SO GOOD and gave the catfish a nice kick. The comeback sauce was like a cajun remoulade, and had a great tang that paired really well with the fish. We LOVED the hoppin’ john, the black eyed peas were tender and the greens and rice were well cooked. This is another light lunch option or a sharable snack and absolutely a Best of the Fest contender! And to top it all off, you can get the Chocolate Crinkle Cookie here for $3 — it’s part of the Cookie Stroll, too! The Chocolate Crinkle Cookie is a favorite of ours year after year — and this was no exception! This is one of the BEST cookies we ate all day, and people kept stopping us to ask us where we got it. There are rich, cocoa flavors and we love the sweetness from the sugar on top. Chocolate Crinkle Cookie Let’s find out what you can whet your whistle with at this booth! Drinks It’s beer on the menu over here, starting with the Gulf Stream Brewing Whiteout Sails Wit Beer, the 3 Daughters Eggnog White Porter, and the Playalinda Brewing Co. Peppermint Chocolate Porter which features an interesting combination of peppermint, chocolate, and beer. Playalina Brewing Co. Peppermint Chocolate Porter Each beer is available in a 6oz pour for $5.50 or a 12oz pour for $9.50. You can also get a flight of all three beers for $10! Overall You should check out American Holiday Table if you’re looking for festival dishes that can double as light meals. Plus, seafood lovers will definitely want to try the blackened catfish — we would buy a whole other EPCOT ticket for this item. It was THAT good. This booth does only serve beer, so if you’re looking for a cocktail you won’t find it here which could be a drawback for some. We’re still loving American Holiday Table!

This past week, the Disney Company changed in a critical way. Main Street You’ve likely heard the news by now but Bob Chapek is no longer CEO and Bob Iger has returned to the position. The change resulted in some immediate impacts and could greatly affect the Disney Company further in the future. On top of that, a Festival has begun in EPCOT, and more news has been shared. So let’s go through all of the BIGGEST news from the week right now! Bob Iger Is BACK In HUGE news, Bob Iger is back as Disney’s CEO following Bob Chapek’s exit. The change was recently announced and its impact has already been felt. Disney stock values jumped following Iger’s return. So what caused Disney to bring back Iger and replace Chapek? A number of things. The Board of Directors reportedly determined that Bob Chapek did “irreparable damage to his ability to lead” the Company. Disney also reported some big losses (to the tune of $1.5 billion) in streaming recently. That, coupled with a number of other steps taken by Chapek during his tenure appear to have led to the decision to have him replaced. ©CNBC There’s a lot to unpack here, a lot of expectations for what Iger could/should do (click here to see how celebrities have reacted to Iger’s return), and a lot of questions with answers that remain to be seen. You can click here to see the 7 big challenges Bob Iger will face as Disney’s new CEO or learn about what can change and what won’t change due to Iger’s return. ©Reuters For more details about what has already changed now that Iger is back, or more about his salary and other things related to his return, check out the links below: Bob Iger has announced that Kareem Daniel (a lieutenant of Bob Chapek) is leaving Disney Bob Iger’s CEO salary has been revealed The first thing Disney fans want to see from Bob Iger Bob Iger is back — what happens now? Bob Iger will share details about the future of the Walt Disney Company with employees soon Will Bob Iger’s return affect the dissolution of the Reedy Creek District? Iger reportedly believed Chapek was “killing the soul” of the Disney Company Record HIGH Prices for Genie+ Over at Disney World, a record HIGH price has been reached for the standard Genie+ service — $29. Genie+ Previously, the service had been capped at $15 per person per day. Then, date-based pricing was introduced and, thus far, the highest price has been $29. It even remained at that price on Thanksgiving, but things could change during the upcoming holiday season. Remember that Genie+ is the replacement service for FastPass+. The standard Genie+ service gives you the ability to select 1 Lightning Lane at a time throughout the day. When your return time for a ride’s Lightning Lane arrives, you’ll skip the standby line to get on faster. But select rides are NOT available through the “standard” Genie+ — instead, some rides must be paid for separately through Individual Lightning Lanes. Scanning MagicBands Due to recent changes, the price of the standard Genie+ service will vary depending on when you visit. Pricing for Individual Lightning Lanes varies depending on the park, date, and ride.

The International Festival of the Holidays has arrived in EPCOT, but where do you even begin? Shi Wasu There are so many booths to grab food from, new things to try, and returning dishes you can’t miss. We’ve been making our way around ALL of the Festival booths and now we’re headed to Shi Wasu Holiday Kitchen in the Japan pavilion to see whether anything here is worth your cash! Menu On the menu at Shi Wasu this year you’ll find a number of returning items as well as some NEW things or dishes that have seen some ingredient changes. 2022 Shi Wasu Menu The Sushi Tree, for example, is a returning item but features new ingredients this year. The Mochi Cake is also a returning item in the sense that we’ve seen a Mochi Cake here before, but it’s been several years. Shi Wasu So let’s dig into the eats and drinks here and see what they’re all about! Eats We start with the Sushi Tree, which you can get for $7.50. This is a Sushi Roll with a Christmas tree design that features krab meat and cream cheese topped with tempura, Ikura salmon roe, and spicy mayonnaise. Again, the tree itself is returning but it has some NEW ingredients this year — last year it had Sashimi-grade tuna, salmon, ikura, and yellowtail on an artistic bed of rice. Last year’s version was actually shaped like a tree as well, whereas the one this year is sushi pieces arranged to sort of look like a tree. For comparison, this was what the tree looked like last year… Sushi Tree 2021 …and this is the tree this year! In terms of design, we still think this is a cute snack (albeit not as “tree-shaped” as in previous years). The colors are fun and vibrant, and the sushi Christmas tree design is pretty cute. In past years, this snack hasn’t really had any standout flavors (at least in our opinion), though it would satisfy classic sushi fans. Sushi Tree This year, however, the flavor was the real star of this snack. The only complaint we had was that we wish the spicy mayo were a little spicier. Other than that, we thought this sushi was well-balanced, had complementary flavors, and was a great, shareable snack. This drink is made with Shōchū, Plum wine, cranberry, and lemon and is priced at $8. It’s a little bit sweet as well, but not nearly as sweet as the Boba drink. Japanese Christmas Punch The final new drink is the Brew Hub Strawberry Lager. This is priced at $5 for a 6 oz pour and $9.50 for a 12 oz pour. If you get this, be sure to share your thoughts in the comments below! The last drink available in this booth is the returning Ozeki Sake Platinum: Junmai Daiginjo. This is a drink we’ve seen in EPCOT in the past. We actually grabbed it during the 2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival at the Japan booth. Ozeki Platinum Sake 2021 When we’ve had it in the past, we’ve found the drink to be very floral and refreshing. If you’re looking for something to grab that’ll hit that flavor profile, this is it. Overall Overall, the Japan pavilion delivered a real mix this year — new dishes, some returning dishes, and some returning items with ingredient changes. If you’re a fan of sushi and ramen, this is THE booth to check out this year. And we thought that Boba drink was very tasty as well, plus the whole family can enjoy it since it’s non-alcoholic!

The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays has begun and we’re bringing you live updates! Decorations Festival days in EPCOT can be long, so that’s why we love to caffeinate! One popular place to grab a cup of coffee year-round in Disney World is Joffrey’s Coffee, but the EPCOT locations have a few special menu items for the Festival of the Holidays! Let’s check it out. Menu This year, Joffrey’s is offering the same drink at each location — the Horchata Cold Brew! You’ll find locations at World Discovery, World Showcase Promenade, between the United Kingdom and Canada pavilions, and The American Adventure pavilion. 2022 Menu The drink is brand new to the festival this year (though we did see a Horchata Cold Brew over at Disneyland) and we’ve been looking forward to trying it. There’s also an Annual Passholder-exclusive drink for those who qualify. Let’s go try them both! Drinks The Horchata Cold Brew is made with a holly jolly blend of Joffrey’s Shakin’ Jamaican Cold Brew and horchata topped with whipped cream and cinnamon. It’s available for $6.49 or if you want to add Bacardí Coquito Coconut Cream Liqueur, it will cost you $13.99. Horchata Cold Brew We got the non-alcoholic version of the drink and we were VERY excited to try it, but, sadly, it was a disappointment. The drink separated very quickly, with the cream and cinnamon sinking all the way to the bottom. Once we mixed it up, it wasn’t much better. Unfortunately, it just tasted like cinnamon that hadn’t really dissolved well into the drink, which made it almost grainy in terms of texture. Not ideal. The Horchata also left an odd film-like layer in the mouth of our team member who tried it, which they did NOT like at all. For those who are unfamiliar with it, the Food Network shares that horchata is a “favorite Mexican beverage.” It is typically a plant-based milk that has been sweetened and sometimes flavored. According to our team member, the best way to describe it is that it tastes how lotion smells. Unfortunately, it wasn’t our ideal drink, but if you love horchata and these flavor combinations, it might be the drink for you. If you try it, definitely tell us about your experience in the comments below! Not a Win For Us, But You May Like It! But wait, there’s ONE more thing we’ve got to talk about. In addition to the Horchata Cold Brew, there’s another special treat of Joffrey’s locations during the festival — an Annual Passholder drink! This drink is called the Happy Snowman frozen cocktail and it can be found at various Joffrey’s locations in EPCOT. It’s made with frozen lemon and blue-curaçao-flavored syrup, along with a splash of Grey Goose vodka. It’s priced at $13.99. This drink was VERY, VERY sweet! It had a strong blueberry flavor with an underlying taste of lemonade and was super cold (great for a hot day), but melted quickly. Happy Snowman Our team member who tried it shared that they loved the drink, but it was extremely sweet, so drinking the entire thing might be too much for those who really don’t enjoy sweet drinks. Also, be sure you like blue raspberry-type flavors before picking up one of these! Overall While we’ve had some spectacular Joffrey’s Coffee drinks in the past, the Horchata Cold Brew just didn’t do it for us this year. The drink separated quickly and didn’t really get better when mixed. The AP-exclusive drink was better, but was very sweet so just be prepared for that!

Who’s ready for another EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays food booth review?! Festival of the Holidays in EPCOT We’ve been eating our way through the World Showcase, catching all kinds of entertainment, and even doing some shopping. Now the Shanghai Holiday Kitchen booth is BACK this year and we can’t wait to check it out! The Shanghai Holiday Kitchen is returning this year with NEW items and a whole lot of drinks. Shanghai Holiday Kitchen Let’s go over the menu! Menu The menu for the Shanghai Holiday Kitchen features three new items including a Chicken Skewer, a Beef and Noodle Soup Bowl, and Vegetable Spring Rolls. Menu For drinks, you can order Panda Bubble Tea, Lucky Foo Pale Ale, Kung Fu Master, Marco Boba, and The Lucky MO, which has updated ingredients this year. Food The Chicken Skewer is served with creamy peanut sauce for $6.75, and don’t let the simple description fool you — this was PACKED with flavor! There was a pretty subtle heat that built up after a while, but the creamy peanut flavor helped to quell anything that was too spicy. The chicken was tender without being mushy, and we found ourselves wishing there was more of it. The green onions were fresh and crunchy, and were a bright burst of flavor when paired with the savory peanut sauce and chicken. The toasted sesame seeds added a toasty nuttiness that paired well with the peanut sauce. Chicken Skewer with Creamy Peanut Sauce The Beef and Noodle Soup Bowl is new, served with slow-braised beef shank, green onion, and housemade chili oil for $9.25. Our only complaint about this dish is that we were eating it on a hot, Florida day. It was pretty close to perfect other than that — the beef was so tender — it nearly melted in our mouth — and the noodles were perfectly cooked along with the vegetables. Not too mushy, and not underdone either. The housemade chili oil added a great spice to the soup without adding any additional heat. We thought this was absolutely wonderful and would get it again — it may be a Best of the Fest contender this year! Beef and Noodle Soup Bowl There were also new Vegetable Spring Rolls with citrus sauce for $5.25. These were pretty solid spring rolls, but overall nothing to write home about. The outside was crispy and the veggies inside were well cooked — we could tell what each individual vegetable was instead of it just being a vegetable mush. The citrus sauce was really great, though — almost like a mix between a ponzu sauce and sweet and sour. It helped take the otherwise kind of boring spring rolls to another level. If you’re a big spring roll fan you probably won’t be disappointed, but they’re pretty standard and nothing too remarkable. Vegetable Spring Rolls with citrus sauce Let’s explore the drink items! Beverages There are a few returning drinks this year, including the Marco Boba made with Amaretto, iced coffee, milk, and boba for $13.50. This drink has a great coffee flavor that balances nicely with the sweet Amaretto. Marco Boba The Lucky Mo has updated ingredients this year, made with SKYY Infusions Vodka, Peach Schnapps, peach syrup, pina colada mix, orange juice, and soda water for $13.75. You definitely need to love sweet cocktails to enjoy this one — there’s a lot of fruitiness and a lot of sugar here. The peach and piña colada flavors come through most, but you can taste the vodka too. Fans of fruity vodka drinks will probably like this one! The Lucky Mo And the last cocktail item is the King Fu Master, made with Tito’s Vodka, Triple Sec, mango, orange juice, and soda water for $14.50. Kung Fu Master You’ll also find the Lucky Foo Pale Ale on this menu for $5.25 for 6oz or $9 for 12oz. Overall We loved this booth overall — the chicken skewers are a super flavorful protein option with an excellent peanut sauce, while the beef noodle soup may be one of our favorite dishes we’ve tried all day. Not to mention, The Lucky Mo cocktail goes down pretty easy — almost too easy. If you’re looking for some solid Chinese-inspired options, add the Shanghai Holiday Kitchen booth to your list!

Happy holidays from EPCOT where we’re celebrating the 2022 Festival of the Holidays! 2022 Booth We’re BUSY hopping from one food booth to the next, checking out all the NEW and returning eats and drinks, plus bringing you a look at all the entertainment and merch, too. But now it’s time to head over to Bavaria Holiday Kitchen for some German-inspired eats! Menu This booth is consistently one of our favorites every year, and you can see what’s on the menu at Bavaria Holiday Kitchen this time around below: 2022 Menu Schnitzel, cookies, and CHEESE in a bread bowl? Sign us up! Food Bavaria Holiday Kitchen booth is proof that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. As one of our team members put it — we don’t know why it’s so good year after year, but it just IS. This booth is a WINNER, no doubt about it. There are a few different returning eats on the menu, like the Pork Schnitzel with mushroom sauce, Spätzle, and braised red cabbage for $6.50. On the sweeter side of things, you’ll find the Linzer Cookie for $3. As a bonus, this one is part of the Cookie Stroll! Our team member who tried this shared that they’re not a fan of raspberry, which is why this cookie isn’t their personal favorite. BUT they said that they still think this is one of the BEST cookies out of the entire Cookie Stroll. Why? Well, the cookie is fantastically soft and just melts in your mouth. Plus, the raspberry filling tastes very real (not artificial), and the light dusting of sugar on the top adds the perfect touch. It looks Christmas-y and is probably a top must-get from the Cookie Stroll if you’re looking to complete it. Linzer Cookie Don’t worry — you’ll find plenty of drinks on this menu too! Drinks You can get a taste for the season with the Glühwein: House-made hot spiced wine for $9.50. That is an especially tasty drink to grab on those cooler December days. Glühwein: House-made Hot Spiced Wine in 2019 The Tank Brewing Co. Prost Fest Beer was new to the festival last year, as well as the Ayinger Brewery Celebrator Doppelbock Beer! Both of these are back. The Tank Brewing Co. Prost! Fest Bier is $5.50 for 6 oz and $9.50 for 12 oz. The Ayinger Brewery Celebrator Doppelbock is priced as follows: 6 oz. $5.50 / 12 oz. $9.50. Possman Pure Hard Apple Cider There’s a Hard Cider on the menu as well for $5.50 (6 oz.) or $9.50 (12 oz), or you can get a Beer Flight for $10. Overall This booth remains one of our favorites every year — and 2022 is no different! Sometimes things don’t need to change for them to remain delicious. The pork schnitzel is a consistent “hit,” the cheese fondue is cheese in a bread bowl (so really, how can you go wrong?!), and the cookie is a solid pick as well. Pair that with a nice beer or cider and you’ve got one delicious meal. Booth Spread Be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more food reviews and festival news!

It’s a great idea for many people to increase the amount of steps they walk per day leading up to a Disney World trip (yes, we are literally suggesting TRAINING for your trip).

We’re trying all kinds of eats at the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays this year! Festival of the Holidays in EPCOT All the booths to try can feel overwhelming, but that’s why we’re here! We’re bringing you reviews of all the offerings at each booth so you know what to put on your “must-try” list. Let’s head over to Refreshment Outpost for their festival eats and drinks. Refreshment Outpost is a quick-service restaurant in EPCOT that often comes up with specialty snacks during EPCOT’s festivals. Refreshment Outpost This year, it has a new snack, an exclusive treat, and a few returning drinks. Menu To eat, you can try the new Peanut Stew, which is plant-based. There’s also a Raspberry Dole Whip on the menu. 2022 Menu The drinks are all returning from previous years, including the UFO Beer Company Triple Berry Teleporter Fruited Wheat Beer, the Stem Ciders Cocoa Caramel Hard Apple Cider, and the Boulevard Brewing Co. Unfiltered Wheat Beer, each of which is $11.25. Note that all those drinks are alcoholic. There’s also the new Cinnamon Frozen Coca-Cola drink, which is exclusive to Disney World Annual Passholders and comes served in a special souvenir cup. The drink is garnished with apple chips and costs $5.25. Frozen Coca-Cola drink Let’s get to the tasting! Food First up is the plant-based Peanut Stew made with sweet potatoes, mustard greens, rice, and roasted peanuts for $5.25. Peanut Stew We thought this stew was AMAZING. The stew itself seems to be made with a base of peanut butter, and there are definitely some savory spices mixed in. There’s a little bit of heat, which we really enjoyed, but if you really don’t like spice then you might want to skip this one. It tasted like the peanut butter rice that you can find at Boma! SO GOOD The roasted peanuts on top are well-seasoned, and the sweet potatoes bring some interesting texture as well. We loved the mix of all the different textures, and the spices were very well-balanced. Overall, we thought this was a delicious dish and one that even most non-plant-based eaters will love. This drink made us wish that cinnamon Coca-Cola was available year-round, because if it were, we’d drink it all the time. Adding that extra spice gave it a really delicious kick (although it wasn’t hot-spicy at all). Delicious The only thing we’d change about this drink is to maybe add more apple flavor to the drink itself. The apple crisps on top were delicious dipped in the drink, and we’d love more of that combination. Overall Everything at this food booth was a hit this year! We loved the Peanut Stew — it’s a great savory option that’s filling and flavorful. The Raspberry Dole Whip is refreshing and delicious, and we were big fans of that frozen Coca-Cola. Whether you’re looking for something sweet or savory, this booth is a great choice. Refreshment Outpost We’ll be trying all the new eats at this year’s festival, and we’ll be sure to let you know which are the best. Follow along with us to see all the updates!

Welcome to the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays! Refreshment Port There is a lot to explore at this event this year, but we’re focusing on the FOOD right now! With so many booths to try, it may feel a little overwhelming, but that’s why we’re here. We headed over to Refreshment Port to try three returning dishes to see how they compare to last year. Menu This spot has some returning items on its menu this year — the Coquito Soft-serve Waffle Cone, Turkey Poutine, and Coquito Soft-serve topped with Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum. 2022 Menu We’ve enjoyed all these treats in the past, but we’re excited to see how this year stacks up! Food First up, we tried the Turkey Poutine which is a plate of French fries with turkey gravy, cranberry relish, and crispy onions for $9. Imagine all the BEST flavors from Thanksgiving, but piled high onto crispy french fries — this is basically that. It’s not the prettiest looking dish, but how does it taste? Turkey Poutine The saltiness of the french fries helps to balance out the sweetness from the cranberry relish, and the flavors complement each other really well. The gravy helps add a savory flavor and keeps the turkey from being too dry. Sometimes french fries can get soggy with poutine, but that wasn’t the case here. This would be a great sharable snack or something to soak up some of that alcohol from drinking around the world! Fair warning, though — it melted QUICKLY so you’ll have to race the clock to be able to finish this one before you have a mess on your hands. If you’re looking for something other than a regular vanilla soft-serve cone, this might be just the thing. Coquito soft serve waffle cone Lastly, we’ve got the Coquito Soft-serve topped with Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum for $12.50. This is the same as the coquito soft serve, but with a generous pouring of spiced rum on top! We highly recommend mixing this together before taking a bite or sip so you don’t get hit with a shot of rum like we did (unless that’s your thing, in which case — go for it!) but this was delicious. Coquito Soft-serve topped with Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum It had all the creaminess and spiced flavors of the soft serve, but with an extra kick from the spiced rum. It reminded us of a boozy snickerdoodle milkshake! Overall Refreshment Port does it again — the turkey poutine is excellent and hearty so you can get something substantial here (it’s even enough to split) and the coquito soft serve is a great little snack that’s refreshing and not too sweet. Plus, for a dessert that packs a punch you can’t go wrong with the spiced rum version!

We’re making our way around the most wonderful festival of the year — the 2022 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays! The Donut Box 2022 There’s plenty of exclusive merchandise and entertainment, but what we’re really here for are all the delicious eats and drinks from the festival food booths. And now, it’s time to head over to The Donut Box to see what they’re serving up this year! Menu The Donut Box is where you’ll find sweet snacks and more. You can grab your pick from a fun variety of holiday donuts and some unique gingerbread-inspired sips here! This year, there are two NEW donuts and two returning donuts, along with some returning drinks. The Donut Box 2022 Menu We were especially excited about the Croissant Donut with Cinnamon Sugar and the Holiday Yeast Donut with vanilla icing and red and white sprinkles! Eats Okay, let’s try these donuts! Here’s a peek inside before we get started. DONUTS! First up, we tried the new Croissant Donut with Cinnamon Sugar for $6. It’s essentially a mix between a croissant and a donut, and that sounds like a match made in heaven. Croissant Donut with cinnamon-sugar We were super impressed with this donut! It was crispy and soft at the same time. It had a really great texture because the layers are so thin! As for the flavor, it reminded us a lot of a snickerdoodle cookie. YUM We also checked out the new Holiday Yeast Donut with vanilla icing and red and white sprinkles! You can grab this donut for $5. How festive does this baby look?! Holiday Yeast Donut with vanilla icing and red and white sprinkles So this was basically just a plain vanilla donut with some sprinkles. It was good, but we probably wouldn’t get it again just because it’s very basic and something you can find in most donut shops. But, if you have a picky eater, this is a good choice! So festive We also grabbed the returning Chocolate Peppermint Donut while you’re here! It’s topped with chocolate frosting, crush candy cane sprinkles, and a mini candy cane for $5. We’ve LOVED this one when we’ve had it in the past! Chocolate Peppermint Donut And, we loved it again! The milk chocolate was melty and the peppermint wasn’t too strong. It reminded us of a peppermint mocha drink! It has a TON of chocolate on top, too. Kids will probably be a fan of this one, and anyone who enjoys that chocolate and peppermint combo! Chocolate a peppermint are a match made in heaven And finally, grab the Eggnog-Cream-filled Donut with Cinnamon Icing and Crumbled Gingersnap Cookies for $5. This is another returning favorite that we really enjoyed when we tried it last year! Eggnog and Cream-filled Donut with cinnamon icing and crumbled gingersnap cookies This was really delicious again, and the ginger snaps reminded us of a slightly sweeter graham cracker cookie. It’s a very cake-y donut, which we enjoyed, and it’s super sweet. This has a custard in it that doesn’t have a super strong eggnog flavor — it tasted more like a regular custard to us! It kind of reminded us of a Boston Cream Pie donut, just minus the chocolate. Would you try this? You can also get all four of these donuts as part of the new Donut Box offering for $18! So, if you order them all at once you save $3. Drinks You’ll also find quite a few drinks on the menu at the Donut Box as well. The Gingerbread Milkshake is a returning sweet treat you can grab for $4.50. You can also get it with whipped cream vodka for $11.50! Gingerbread Milkshake This is absolutely delicious! It’s wonderfully creamy and has a strong cinnamon flavor. This tasted just like a gingerbread cookie to us! People who love cinnamon and gingerbread should definitely check this one out. But, if you don’t like those flavors, steer clear. Milkshake Gingerbread is the name of the game for drinks at the Donut Box — you can pick up the Coppertail Brewing Co. Gingerbread Stout for $5.50 for the 6 oz and $9.50 for the 12 oz. This is your typical dark stout beer, but with all those gingerbread flavors you’d expect. We tried a similar bear last year, and it reminded us of Guinness and coffee! Gingerbread Stout If you’re not a gingerbread fan, you’re unfortunately out of luck when it comes to drinks at this booth! But, don’t worry, there are plenty of other sips to try at the festival. Overall Head to The Donut Box if you’re looking for some delicious donuts and gingerbread drinks! If you have a sweet tooth, this is the spot for you. It could be a tasty breakfast, or a nice sweet treat in the middle of the day (or dessert after dinner!). There are some unique donuts here, but also some that are more familiar to people, so there’s a little something for everyone!

Happy EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, everyone! Chestnuts and Good Cheer booth at the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays We’re live at the festival today and are bringing you reviews of every single food booth! Come with us over to the Chestnuts and Good Cheer booth to try their seasonal offering — hot chocolate with a twist. Menu This year, you can grab plenty of offerings from this booth including Cinnamon-glazed Almonds, Cinnamon-glazed Pecans, Cinnamon-glazed Cashews, and Fire-roasted Chestnuts. There are also holiday drinks like hot cocoa and eggnog! Menu We can’t wait any longer — let’s dig in! Eats As we mentioned above, there are 4 types of nuts you can grab here and all of them are gluten/wheat friendly. That includes the Cinnamon-glazed Almonds… Cinnamon-Glazed Almonds (2021) …the Cinnamon-glazed Cashews… Cinnamon-Glazed Cashews (2021) …and the Cinnamon-glazed Pecans! All of these taste like standard glazed nuts, just slightly different crunches and flavors on each one. Chestnuts & Good Cheer Spread (2021) Each of these are $5.50. Cinnamon-Glazed Almonds, Cashews, and Pecans (2021) For a more unique option, check out the Fire-Roasted Chestnuts! Something cool about these is that you can see the chefs roasting them. These were pretty sweet and had a sprinkle of cinnamon, but unfortunately these were our least favorite. They’re soft and very dry, and the best part was the seasoning on the outside. Fire-Roasted Chestnuts A serving of these is $6. Drinks This year, the Chestnuts and Good Cheer booth is serving up Hot Cocoa with Screwball Peanut Butter Whiskey, whipped cream, and candied nuts. Hot Cocoa with Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey, whipped cream, and candied nuts We saw this offering last year, but we had to try it again! If you love creamy hot chocolate, this is the drink for you. It was super creamy and we definitely tasted that peanut butter whiskey — it was the star of the show! The whipped cream on top makes the drink even creamier and this drink got us in the holiday spirit. The Cast Member asked which nuts we wanted to top our hot cocoa with so you have a choice (we chose pecans) but beware! These will sink to the bottom and get a little soggy — we recommend eating them off the top right when you get the drink! Yum! You can grab this drink for $11.50. This hot cocoa is also available non-alcoholic for $3.75. The T.G. Lee Eggnog with Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey is also available again this year for $11.50. Last year, we loved the whiskey flavor with the eggnog and although you can definitely taste the alcohol, it didn’t overpower the drink. T.G. Lee Eggnog There is also a non-alcoholic version of the eggnog for $4. You can also get a Firenog which is the same eggnog with Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey for $11.50. Overall Overall this is a great place to grab a boozy holiday drink or a sweet snack! If it’s something you enjoy, the nuts are a great snack that you can bring along with you throughout the day since they are easy to throw in a park bag. Although nothing stood out at the best of the fest level, we did enjoy the offerings here. Be sure to stay tuned to DFB all day for all the other festival booth reviews (link to one) we have coming!

We’re making our way around all the festival booths checking out the new and returning eats so you know what’s worth a try!

The 2022 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays is finally here and we’re BUSY running from booth to booth bringing you all of our food reviews. But — we interrupt those food reviews to bring you some VERY good news: there’s a souvenir Chip ‘n’ Dale SPORK available at this year’s festival! Chip ‘n’ Dale Spork sold at the Chestnuts and Good Cheer Booth It’s a great little item to pick up for all the taste testing you’ll be doing at the festival — and did we mention it’s only $2.50?! We spotted it at the Chestnuts and Good Cheer Booth, but we’ll keep an eye for it at other festival booths and locations as well.
