Are you full yet? We’re eating our way around EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! L’Arte di Mangiare We’ve already stopped by sooo many booths, but we’re heading on over to the Italy Pavilion to see what dishes they’re serving up! In the past, the Italy booth has left us wanting. Will L’Arte di Mangiare surprise us this year? Let’s see! First up, here’s a glimpse at that menu! L’Arte di Mangiare Menu So, let’s check out those eats! Food ALL of the food at L’Arte di Mangiare is new this year and we’re so excited to try it. First up, we’ve got the L’Aragosta, lobster ravioli with vanilla-saffron cream sauce and shredded chili peppers for $15. These flavors are pretty interesting! L’Aragosta This dish was our favorite at this booth! The ravioli has a good bit of lobster inside each one and the vanilla-saffron cream sauce brings some elevated flavors to the dish overall. Plus, it’s SUPER buttery which is exactly what you want with a heaping ball of lobster. L’Aragosta (Lobster Ravioli) Another savory option at the Italy booth this fest is the Arancini, sweet sausage fried Risotto balls with Pomodoro sauce for $12. Arancini We had high hopes for this dish and, well, it let us down. They were okay, but we weren’t fans of the sauce and they didn’t have very much flavor. The sauce had a surprising level of tang to it that seemed out of place. Plus, on top of that, we couldn’t even taste much sausage at all. Arancini And for dessert, we’ve got the Bomboloni, A.K.A. a cream-filled Italian doughnut with raspberry sauce and powdered sugar for $11. You might recognize this as a smaller version of the treat at Disney Springs’ Vivoli il Gelato! Bombolini As much as we love fried dough, these treats were not our favorites of the day. They were very basic and lacked in the flavor department too. We wouldn’t necessarily recommend these unless you’re a MAJOR donut stan — and even then, there are better treats elsewhere. Bombolini Enough about the food! Let’s talk about what you’ll be using to wash it down! Drinks It wouldn’t be the Italy booth without WINE! This year, the offerings include Pinot Grigio ($10), Chianti ($10), Prosecco ($10), Rosa Regale ($11), Moscato ($11), Italian White Sangria with Prosecco ($11), and Italian Red Sangria with Cabernet Sauvignon ($11). There’s also a beer offering of Peroni Pilsner for $6/6 oz and $10/12 oz. L’Arte di Mangiare Spread We tried BOTH Sangrias and the Prosecco! The Prosecco was VERY dry — so a good choice for those who like a dry bubbly. If you like sweet, you’re probably better off snagging a sangria instead. Prosecco Speaking of sangria, the Italian White Sangria with Prosecco was pretty tasty. Both sangria options have a lot of fruit flavor without being too sweet. Italian White Sangria Still, the Italian Red Sangria with Cabernet Sauvignon was our favorite thanks to its bolder flavors! The way the fruit juices marry with the wine made for a super satisfying sip. Italian Red Sangria Returning cocktails include the Italian Margarita with Tequila and Limoncello for $11, the Bergamotto made with Italicus Rosolio Di Bergamotto, Prosecco, and Cerignola Olive for $16, and the Amaretto Bellini made with Amaretto, White Peach Purée, and Prosecco for $13. Amaretto Bellini: Amaretto, White Peach Purée and Prosecco Overall Welp, once again, the Italy Pavilion has fallen into our expectations. This booth isn’t bad, but it certainly doesn’t wow us compared to some of the other options at the festival. Our favorite dish was the Lobster Ravioli, so if you’re stopping by, you might want to give that one a try! Still, this booth might be more skippable than the others so get your fill at a different booth, and stop by Italy for one of their many beverage options if your goal is to hit up all the booths this year!

If you have a sweet tooth, then you’ve gotta head to Decadent Delights! 2021 Booth While there are lots of savory options to try at this festival, it’s ALL about the sweets at this Food Studio! You can find Decadent Delights at Promenade Refreshments. This is a returning studio, but its menu looks quite different in comparison to previous years. Let’s take a look! Decadent Delights Menu Food at Decadent Delights In past years, we’ve seen elaborate treats at this Studio, like the White Chocolate and Sweet Potato Mousse. But this year’s menu is looking a little scarce with just two soft-serve flavors and some drinks. The Raspberry Soft-Serve and the Lemon Soft-Serve are available for $5.25 each. Raspberry and Lemon Soft Serve We though the lemon was delicious, but the raspberry had a bit of a medicinal taste to it. We also thought the texture of the raspberry was a little off — like it was more yogurt than ice cream. However, we went back and asked if we could get the two flavors swirled, and the answer was yes! THIS IS HOW WE DO IT. Swirl! A Cast Member told us the swirl would taste sort of like bananas, and although we were skeptical, we totally got a banana aftertaste with the first bite, which is kinda’ weird, but also awesome! We think the raspberry is SO much better with the two flavors swirled. Drinks at Decadent Delights This Food Studio is also offering up some different drinks this year. You can find a North Coast Brewing Co. Scrimshaw Pilsner that will set you back $4.50. Another beer offering is the Deco IPA from M.I.A. Beer Company for $4.50. And for any peanut butter fans, there’s the Saugatuck Brewing Co. Peanut Butter Porter for $4.50! If you can’t choose just one, you can also get a Beer Flight! It’ll cost $9.50 to taste all three beers. Decadent Delights The Scrimshaw Pilsner is pretty good, although it’s just a pretty basic beer. There’s nothing exciting about it, but it’s totally something that we could drink any time. The MIA Beer Company Deco IPA had a woody, nutty flavor and was certainly more unique. But it was the Peanut Butter Porter that got our attention — it’s really smooth, and if you like peanut butter, you’ll want to try this one for yourself! Ice cream and Beer Flight This is also the location to collect your Redemption Cookie after completing The Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine! After trying the walk’s five designated foods in your Festival Passport and collecting stamps for each of them, you can show your stamps to get this complimentary cookie! Artist Palette Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookie Overall Sure, this booth has the title “Decadent” in it, and none of these items seem all that decadent. However, everything did live up to the “Delights” part of the name! We would recommend pretty much everything but the raspberry soft-serve, although if you want to try it, we recommend getting it as a swirl like we did! We’re busy trying out ALL the food at the 2021 EPCOT Festival of the Arts, so stay tuned for more reviews! Review: Create a Cookie Masterpiece and Sip on Rosé at the Cuisine Classique Booth in EPCOT!

The 2021 EPCOT Festival of the Arts has officially arrived and it’s time to enjoy all the wonderful artistic creations in the culinary, visual, and performing arts. Refreshment Port This year’s festival might be a little quieter than those in the past, but there’s still so much to see, do, and taste! And we’re taking you LIVE to explore it all with us! And, of course, we’re eating our away around the festival. Although the Refreshment Port isn’t technically a food studio, there are some new offerings on the menu there in honor of the festival, so let’s dig in! 2021 Menu Food Although the Traditional Poutine is typically on the menu, there’s a NEW kind of poutine on the menu too: Lobster Poutine made with lobster, lobster bisque cheese sauce, pickled jalapeños, and citrus cream for $10.50. Can we just say, “Yum!” This spot served a similar option on chips last year (which we LOVED), but we have to say the poutine base might be even better! Lobster Poutine Thus portion is GINORMOUS and actually…heavy? We were surprised by the weight when the Cast Member handed it to us! It’s served warm with TONS of lobster. This eat is a surefire way to get your money’s worth. Lobster Poutine The pile of toppings on these fries makes for some cheesy AND spicy goodness! Good thing we have a pretty yummy beer to wash it down with (More on that in a sec!). That lobster bisque cheese sauce is absolutely heavenly. It’s a great eat for lobster-lovers. Just beware the kick from the peppers! Lobster Poutine Drinks If you need to wash down that poutine with a refreshing beverage, there are a few new choices available: Barrel of Monks Brewing Raspberry Beret for $9.75, and Spottswoode Sauvignon Blanc for $12. Refreshment Port Items We tried the beer out and like it a lot! It had a very light raspberry flavor to it and wasn’t overly fruity. It’s super refreshing! Barrel of Monks Brewing Raspberry Beret Overall, we’re digging the festival options at Refreshment Port!

Today marks the beginning of the 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! Festival of the Arts We just LOVE to see it! And a new food festival means one thing: We’re in EPCOT trying every. single. thing! And that doesn’t just mean we’re stopping at pop-up food booths like the Mosaic Canteen in Morocco and El Artista Hambriento in Mexico, it means we’re seeing what year-round EPCOT fixtures are serving JUST for the fest! And we were deee-lighted to find that the Funnel Cake Stand in the American Adventure Pavilion has a special funnel cake: a Red Velvet Funnel Cake topped with cream cheese icing and pixie dust! This fair-meets-patisserie hybrid costs $9.50. Funnel Cake Stand Festival of the Arts Menu Now, the color of this treat may remind you a bit of the holiday season, and we don’t blame ya for that. It feels like we were eating Christmassy red velvet cupcakes just yesterday! But we still think that the icing on this treat is SO PRETTY. Look at all those colors! And the addition of the pixie dust is a nice touch. We won’t lie though, the red is a little off-putting. Red Velvet Funnel Cake Of course, looks are one thing and TASTE is another! If you love red velvet with cream cheese frosting, you’ll love this take on those classic cake flavors. The funnel cake isn’t too sweet, and it’s the cream cheese frosting adds almost ALL the sweet flavor to this treat. Red Velvet Funnel Cake Overall, we think this funnel cake is not only tasty, it’s also a lot of fun — and it makes for a great Instagram photo! However, if you’re not a sweets lover, you might not appreciate all that frosting like we did. Find ALL of the menus from the 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts here!

EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts is back, and we’re thrilled to be here, checking out all of the offerings! 2021 Festival of the Arts As usual, there’s some spectacular entertainment, some amazing artwork, and lots of fun merchandise to shop. However, considering we’re a Disney FOOD blog, we’re extra excited to try all the artistic eats! On our trip around the World Showcase, we stopped to dine in the Germany Pavilion, and we’re giving you our honest review! You’ll find Cuisine Classique in the Germany Pavilion of the World Showcase, serving up some unique options. Cuisine Classique We’re ready to try the eats on this delicious-sounding menu, so let’s dive right in! Menu This booth is returning to the festival, but its seen some menu changes this year. New to the list are the Coq au Vin and the Opera Cake. 2021 Menu The Red Wine-braised Beef Short Rib and the Artist Palette Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookie are both returning, but we’re still excited to try them out. Food First up on the list at Cuisine Classique is the Red Wine-braised Beef Short Rib! The short rib comes with parsnip purée, broccolini, baby tomatoes, and aged balsamic, all for $8. This dish debuted with the festival way back in 2017 and it’s been a favorite ever since! That beef is SO tender. Braised Beef Short Rib If you’re in the mood for poultry instead, check out the Coq au Vin. This item is new at Cuisine Classique this year, and it’s chicken roulade with violet mustard, candied carrots, pancetta crisp, marble potatoes, and Beurre rouge sauce. A little cheaper than the short rib, this one is priced at $6.75. Coq au Vin Honestly, the star of the dish was the pancetta. We are OBSESSED. Like this might as well be a dish focused on that with the chicken on the side! Still, the rest of the dish is good too. The chicken was herby and delicious, even in a smaller portion, the sweet and tangy sauce was awesome, and the veggies were tasty too. Coq au Vin As far as desserts go, your first choice is the Opera Cake. Checking out the ingredients, we got pretty excited because it’s made with almond Joconde, coffee buttercream, and chocolate ganache. It’s $4.50, making it the least expensive item at this food studio. Opera Cake The flavors in this cake mesh together to make a pretty perfect combination. The big win here is the coffee layer making this the perfect coffee-lovers dessert. We loved how the hard chocolate bottom gave the texture some variety! Opera cake The last item in the food category is the Artist Palette Jumbo Chocolate-Chip Cookie, and if you’re looking for a way to play with your food and not get in trouble, then this may be the choice for you. The giant chocolate chip cookie comes with “paint” for you to create your own edible masterpiece, and we have to admit that it’s pretty fun. You can pick one of these up for $5.50, and it’s big enough to share! Artist Palette Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookie Beverages To help quench your thirst, you’ll find several drink options at Cusine Classique. Two of them are new this year — the 3 Daughters Brewing Rosé Hard Cider and the 81Bay Brewing Rosé Blonde Ale. Both of these beverages hail from Florida and cost $4.50 for a 6 oz and $8.50 for a 12 oz. Besides these new choices, you can find the returning Frozen Rosé for $6.50. All three of these options are available in the $10.50 A Play on Rosé Flight. A Play on Rose We really liked the flight! Even our reporter who isn’t into rosé enjoyed it. The beer still tastes like a beer (but with that rosé flavor) and the cider still tastes like cider (but with rosé flavor). Yum! Rosé Flight Wine drinkers can also opt for the Campo Viejo Rioja Reserva Art Series for $6, and the Domaine Savary Chablis for $8. Cuisine Classique Well, that wraps up this year’s review of Cuisine Classique! We’re glad to be back at the Festival of the Arts, so make sure to follow along and see what other delicious (or not so delicious) eats that we try! Check Out the Other Booth Menus Here!

We’re taking the arts, entertainment, and FOOD at the Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! Goshiki We’ve been making our way through World Showcase and got a taste of Remy’s Signature ratatouille and a SPICY stuffed pepper in Mexico. Our next stop is the Goshiki Food Studio located in the Japan Pavilion. Save room for sushi because this is where you can stuff yourself with rice and soy sauce! Menu We got a chance to try some NEW snacks and drinks at the Japan food booth and we’re here to tell you ALL about it. Here’s a look at the updated menu for 2021! Goshiki Menu We’re ready to dig in! Food We love it when Disney Chefs play with their food! The Stone Garden comes with red bean mousse, chocolate rocks, and Arare rice cracker pebbles. The dish is $6.75. Stone Garden And, we love it when Disney Chefs let US play with our food. The Stone Garden is a DIY dish! You’re given the mousse and you can make your very own zen garden out of the remaining materials. Then you can take your fork and let it act like a rake for your garden. Oh yes, and it tasted good too! The chocolate rocks tasted freshly made while the mousse is nice and creamy. The red bean mousse is slightly sweetened but not overly sweet. It tastes good with the sweetened chocolate. This is a fun, interactive, and delish treat! Stone Garden The Sushi Donut is BACK this year. The eye-catching sushi “roll” is made with salmon, tuna, shrimp, cucumber, and sesame seed and then decorated with wasabi aioli, sriracha, and eel sauce. The donut is $8.25. Sushi Donut The coolest thing about this item is that it’s in the shape of a donut! Who can resist a donut? Also, it’s full of pretty, colorful fish. The fish is FRESH, by the way. It practically melts in your mouth! We love the spicy sauces that complement the fish too. Sushi Donut We had a version of the Vegetable Gyoza last year but this one has slightly different ingredients. This dish comes with vegetable-filled gyozas with tofu atop mashed potatoes with a Kamaboko fish cake, pepper strings, and Tonkatsu teriyaki sauce. Yum! The gyoza is $6. Vegetable Gyoza The dumplings and potatoes are FABULOUS. We loved the creamy and flavorful potatoes last year and they are a hit again this year. The dumpling was packed full of deliciously seasoned veggies and tofu. Vegetable Gyoza You might want to skip the Kamaboka fish cake if you’re not a seafood person! It has a very distinct fishy taste! Beverages Ok, let’s try some drinks! We started with the Haiku Lager. This was a very good lager that was refreshing and tasty. It reminded us of the more popular Japanese beer, Kirin rice beer. It’s a good choice for beer-drinkers who would rather stick to a standard drink. The lager comes is $5 for 6 oz and $10 for 12 oz. Haiku Draft Lager You can also pick up a bit of Masu Sake served in a traditional wooden box cup. You get sake and a souvenir! The box is a unique take-home and of course, you get bonus sake. The drink and box are $12.50. Masu Sake in a Personalized Wooden Cup New this year is the Pink Snow cocktail. It’s made with sake, Peach Schnapps, cranberry juice, Calpico, and dusted with snowflake confetti. The drink is $8.5o. This was really sweet for our taste. The sweet Schnapps paired with the cranberry juice and milky Calpico put us over the edge a bit. Although, many guests around us really enjoyed this one! You might like it too if you’re into sweet drinks! Pink Snow The verdict for Goshiki is that we loved the DIY Stone Garden and the Vegetable Gyoza was a good choice again. Now, we’re absolutely stuffed, but mama didn’t raise a quitter! Stay tuned as we review ALL the Food Studios at this year’s Festival of the Arts!

The Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts began today at Walt Disney World Resort, celebrating visual, culinary and performing arts from around the world.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/EAD7oxKubt0 View the full article

Greetings from the 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! We’re traveling all across World Showcase to check out this year’s food booths, entertainment, and more! After visiting booths like Festival Favorites, The Painted Panda, and Mosaic Canteen, we’re STILL hungry for more! ‘Luncheon of the Boating Party’ Photo Op Our next stop was The Masterpiece Kitchen in the Canada Pavilion, where you can eat and drink while jamming with the JAMMitors on the Mill Stage! The Masterpiece Kitchen is returning this year to the Canada Pavilion, much to our delight! This booth has been home to several Best of the Fest selections from years past, so our hopes were VERY high that The Masterpiece Kitchen would deliver once again. The Masterpiece Kitchen Their menu is full of returning favorites, including some of our top picks from the 2020 Festival of the Arts! The Masterpiece Kitchen Menu Was the food just as tasty as we remember? Let’s find out! Food Returning this year is a Masterpiece Kitchen Staple, the Wild Mushroom Risotto with aged parmesan, truffle shavings and Zinfandel reduction. Wild Mushroom Risotto This dish was a 2019 Best of the Fest honoree and is an excellent vegetarian option that’s super rich in flavor! It’s back at The Masterpiece Kitchen for $9.25. Wild Mushroom Risotto Another returning dish this year to The Masterpiece Kitchen is the Smoked Salmon and Cream Gâteau with egg yolk cream, paddlefish caviar and micro-herbs. Basically, it’s a seafood lover’s dream. Smoked Salmon This dish is truly a LOOKER and a remarkable example of how visually stunning these dishes are at Festival of the Arts! This dish made our Best of the Fest list at LAST YEAR’S Festival of the Arts, so we’re thrilled to see it return for 2021 for $7. Smoked Salmon and Cream Gateau For dessert, we picked up their Vanilla, Rose Water and Pistachio Panna Cotta. This is the “Pink” dish for those keeping score with their Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine guide! Vanilla, Rose Water and Pistachio Panna Cotta This dish gives off serious Beauty and the Beast vibes and is one of the prettiest desserts we’ve seen! This was another Best of the Fest selection at the 2020 Festival of the Arts, so we were anxious to return to The Masterpiece Kitchen to try it again for $8. Vanilla, Rose Water and Pistachio Panna Cotta The rose shell itself is white chocolate and the only pistachio is found in the crumbs on the outside, which wasn’t super flavorful. Once you break inside the rose, we found the mousse to be very delicious, creamy, and not too sweet! You could definitely taste the rose water with offers a unique flavor at this year’s festival. Vanilla, Rose Water and Pistachio Panna Cotta The vanilla can be found in the TINY little white piece at the center of the rose, and we thought it was nice and sweet! The rose also comes with a raspberry filling as well as a sparkly glitter raspberry sauce on the dish with the Pistachio crumbs. Vanilla, Rose Water and Pistachio Panna Cotta Overall, it wouldn’t be a Festival of the Arts without the Vanilla, Rose Water and Pistachio Panna Cotta, so we’re always delighted to bite into it every January! Beverages The Masterpiece Kitchen has a variety of wines to compliment each food item, along with a few beer selections as well! Pair your food dishes with Weihenstephaner Original Lager, Freising (Germany), Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Brut Champagne, The Meeker Vineyard Winemakers’ Handprint Merlot (Sonoma County, CA), Pinord La Dama Reserva Familiar Brut (Spain), Pinord La Dama Reserva Familiar Brut Rosé (Spain), and a Classic Sidecar with a Chocolate Twist, which was one of our very first Festival of the Arts Best of the Fest selections!

It’s here! The Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts has kicked off for 2021 at Walt Disney World! 2021 Festival of the Arts And of course, we’re here for all of the Instagram-worthy food and entertainment from The Voices of Liberty, but what would the Festival of the Arts be without, well, ART?! There are TONS of cool photo ops and, of course, there’s the Figment’s Brush with the Masters scavenger hunt, but there’s a lesser-known scavenger hunt at EPCOT during this festival: Chalk Full of Character! Festival of the Arts Yep, there are ADORABLE chalk drawings of fan-favorite Disney characters ALL over World Showcase! And while there’s no prize, per se, finding these darling drawings is a fun activity for the whole family! You know us, we LOVE a hidden gem, so we set out to find as many of the drawings as we could. Come along with us! If you’re hoping to spot these on your own, you may wanna stop scrolling as we will reveal their locations. Mexico Pavillion Wait, who’s that on the outside of the Mexico Pavailion? It’s none other than spirit Dante from Coco! Spirit Dante Of course, Miguel’s trusty pup can be seen in his earthly form in Mexico too! Dante!! Let’s continue along World Showcase, shall we? In Norway, we spotted the Snowgies from Frozen! They appear to be getting into a bit of trouble, but it sure looks like fun! Snow babies!!! In the China Pavilion, we found Little Brother from Mulan! He looks SO excited to get that bone! (Reminds us of ourselves before we try a new treat at EPCOT…) Little Brother Art In Germany, we spotted that rascal Pascal from Tangled getting into the spirit of the fest by adding some sunny artwork to the side of a building! And what would the Festival of the Arts be without a little color changing, huh? Pascal blends in so much! Can you spot him?! Pascal color changing! We found not one, not two, but THREE Pascals in Germany! And this one munching on some caramel corn from Karamell-Kuche may be our favorite one yet. Pascal at Karamell Kuche If you wish upon a star, you just may spot Jiminy Cricket in Italy! Jiminy Cricket in Italy Meanwhile, in the American Adventure, we spotted a much more obscure character…Amos from the Disney short Ben and Me! Honestly, we kind of love an underrepresented IP, and this little kite-flying mouse is perfect for this patriotic pavilion. Amos from “Ben and Me” in the American Adventure SPEAKING of obscure characters, Mickey Mouse’s teddy bear, Duffy, and his cat friend Gelatoni can be found in Japan! We love these cuties! In case you didn’t know, these guys are two of the mascots of Tokyo Disneysea! Gelatoni and Duffy! Morocco sees a more familiar face to most folks — Aladdin’s sidekick Abu!

We’re having a BLAST exploring the 2021 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! Festival of the Arts Passport As usual, Joffrey’s locations around EPCOT are commemorating the fest with specialty coffee drinks — this time paired with donuts! That’s not the only exciting thing going on at Joffrey’s though. You can also learn to paint with your COFFEE! When we strolled up to the Future World East Joffrey’s to get our coffee fix this morning, we spotted this little sign up on the counter. The sign shows how to paint your own Disney-inspired art using Joffrey’s coffee! Festival of the Arts Offer Simply scan that QR code and get to a beginner-friendly step-by-step tutorial that’ll talk you through it. So cute! We’re not sure we’d use the Starry Night Latte to paint with though, it’s too yummy!

The 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts has officially begun! Mosaic Canteen Some of the booths have returning items, but over at Mosaic Canteen they’re serving up an ENTIRELY NEW menu of Moroccan dishes this year. Will these items become new must-have snacks? There’s only one way to find out! Menu Mosaic Canteen’s all new menu for this festival features 3 food items and 2 drink options! Mosaic Canteen Menu And you better believe we’re trying them all! Mosaic Canteen And without further ado, let’s get to our review. Food In terms of the food, we’re starting off with the Mediterranean Flatbread. During the 2020 Festival of the Arts, this booth served up a flatbread with some of the same ingredients, but things have been shaken up a bit. The Flatbread now features Za’atar Pesto, artichokes, roasted peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, and fennel cream. Mediterranean Flatbread We loved the 2020 Flatbread and thought it was a great, fresh-tasting choice for those on a vegetarian diet. Is the 2021 version another great choice? The answer is a resounding “YES!” It’s very flavorful, in part thanks to the delicious pesto and peppers. Mediterranean Flatbread It’s also a good portion size, too, and easily shareable! If you want to try this flatbread you can get it right now at the Festival for $5.75. Another new item on the menu is the Harissa-roasted Rack of Lamb with Baba Ganoush, Picholine olives, toybox tomatoes, preserved lemons, and pomegranate. We had the Grilled Lamb Kefta Kebab at the Festival of the Holidays, and the Kefta does tend to be a favorite of ours, so we were interested to see whether this new lamb dish would be just as good. Harissa-Roasted Rack of Lamb This lamb dish literally knocked the ball out of the park. It was cooked perfectly, which is always tricky when it comes to lamb dishes — no one wants an overcooked piece of lamb. The tapenade served on the side, as well as the sauce on top was also delicious. As a whole, this is one plate that blends all kinds of amazing flavors together. Harissa-Roasted Rack of Lamb You can get this lamb dish right now for $8. Finally, you can end your meal with a little dessert (of course) with the Mouskoutchou, which is an orange cake with cinnamon-chocolate mousse. Look at how gorgeous it is! Mouskoutchou The orange top of the cake is actually half sponge cake and half orange chocolate mousse! We can’t even! And we LOVED the orange mousse in this — it just took this dessert up a notch from good to fabulous! Mouskoutchou Interestingly enough, though, we didn’t taste that much of the cinnamon — this is more of a treat for citrus lovers. The Mouskoutchou is priced at $4.75. Beverages In terms of beverages, there are two NEW options Mosaic Canteen. First, there’s the C1906 Reserva Especial Dark Amber Lager. 1906 Reserva Especial Dark Amber Lager This beer is darker than a traditional lager, but we still found it very drinkable and refreshing. This drink is priced at $4.50 for 6 o.z. and $8.50 for 12 o.z. If you’re more of a hard cider fan, then you can opt for the Maeloc Blackberry Hard Cider. Maeloc Blackberry Hard Cider Warning, though: this is a cider for people with a sweet tooth because it is VERY sweet. We found it a little too much, but if you like sweeter drinks, this might totally be your jam. You can get a 6 o.z. serving of the Maeloc Blackberry Hard Cider for $4.50, or get a 12 o.z. serving for $8.50. If any of these items look like something you’d like to try, then be sure to stop by Mosaic Canteen at the Morocco pavilion during the Festival of the Arts. The Festival will be around from now until February 22nd. We’re making our way around all of the booths at this year’s Festival, so stay tuned for more reviews, photos, videos, and more!

Did you hear the news? EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts has officially started! We’re making our way around World Showcase to visit all the new and returning Food Studios! EPCOT Festival of the Arts We headed to the Refreshment Outpost to see what’s cooking! At last year’s Festival of the Arts, we dove headfirst into Paintbrush Churros and Popcorn Flights. Some of the items have returned while others are new. Let’s see what the Outpost has to offer in 2021! The menu offers the return of the Plant-Based Bratwurst from the 2020 festival. They also kept the Warm Brown Sugar Stuffed Pretzel that we LOVED from Festival of the Holidays. We don’t care that this one is a repeat snack because my goodness it was good! You can see what else is on the menu below! 2021 Festival of the Arts Menu And yes…you guessed it…the Spike the Bee Sipper is BACK, BABYYY! Spike’s debut at the 2020 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival was, of course, cut short due to the park closures, and since reopening he has certainly made sure he makes up for all that lost time. Refreshment Outpost Like last year’s festivals, you can purchase this sipper for $15 with your choice of beverage. Frozen Slushy in Spike the Bee Sipper Let’s check out what else Refreshment Outpost has in store at this year’s Festival of the Arts! Food Refreshment Outpost is going to be your go-to for returning food items. Unfortunately our beloved Paintbrush Churros did NOT return for 2021 (cue our tears). But in its place are two returning food items. First is the Plant-based Bratwurst for $9.50. This vegan dish comes with with spicy turmeric aïoli, coffee barbecue jackfruit, and slaw. Plant-Based Bratwurst This is a great plant-based option with a nice kick to it! Of all the plant-based “meat” dishes we’ve tried at Disney World, it ranks pretty high (right up there with the Vegan Slaw Dog from Casey’s Corner!). Plant-Based Bratwurst Next is the Warm Brown Sugar-stuffed Pretzel! We recently enjoyed this dessert at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. Brown Sugar Pretzel While this dish isn’t that unique (it’s Chocolate Soft-serve on top of a Brown Sugar-stuffed Pretzel), it’s definitely delicious! The warm and cold-combo sensation of the ice cream and pretzel, on TOP of all the sugary sweetness, makes for one decadent dessert. Try it for $8.25! Beverages NEW for 2021 is the Playalinda Brewing Co. Blue Raspberry Blonde. That’s right friends, we drank blue beer. Playalinda Brewing Co. Blue Raspberry Blonde This unique drink costs $9.75. You’re going to have to trust us on this one; the blue is MUCH more apparent in person! Playalinda Brewing Co. Blue Raspberry Blonde And you know what? It was delicious! We think this is a great choice for people who want to try a beer at the Festival but aren’t typical beer drinkers or prefer cocktail-style beers. We loved that it wasn’t too tart or too sweet! Don’t let the color scare you away! Playalinda Brewing Co. Blue Raspberry Blonde If beer isn’t your jam regardless of what color it is, there’s always the Frozen Slushy Coca-Cola or Minute Maid Lemonade in your trusty Spike the Bee Sipper Cup for $15. Spike the Bee SIpper We’re stuffed with STUFFED pretzels, but we’ve still got more reviews to do! Don’t touch that dial!

The day has finally arrived and the EPCOT Festival of the Arts is officially here! And we’re HERE trying out all the amazing food now available at the food studios! El Artista SPREAD We’re not going to lie — the El Artista Hambriento (The Hungry Artist) Food Studio in Mexico is always one of our favorites, and this year’s menu did NOT disappoint! SO much spice. So much chocolate mousse. So much goodness. Food For starters, there’s an ALL NEW menu here this year! 2021 Menu And we started by chowing down on the Chile Relleno, which is Fried Poblano Pepper filled with Flank Steak, Black Beans and Tomatoes drizzled with a Poblano Cream Sauce. You get all this for the price of $7.25! Chile Relleno: Fried Poblano Pepper filled with Flank Steak, Black Beans and Tomatoes drizzled with a Poblano Cream Sauce This dish is SPICY and we loved it! It’s rare to find a dish loaded with spice at Disney World and this one turned up the heat! Prepare yourself with a cup of water (or a margarita) before diving into this dish. The flank steak and beans were seasoned well and added a rich flavor to the overall taste. The creamy poblano sauce tames the heat a bit and adds balance to the pepper. You can ask for extra sauce if you don’t love the amount of spice! Chile Relleno: Fried Poblano Pepper filled with Flank Steak, Black Beans and Tomatoes drizzled with a Poblano Cream Sauce Then it was on to the Pork Belly Pastor. This is Pastor-marinated Pork Belly atop Boniato Purée with Charred Pineapple and Crispy Cilantro. Pork Belly Pastor: Pastor-marinated Pork Belly atop Boniato Purée with Charred Pineapple and Crispy Cilantro While the Chile Relleno piled on the flavor, the Pork Belly Pastor left us wanting more. More flavor, more spice, more anything really. The meat itself was tender and good! It just needed to be leveled up with seasoning or saltiness. Pork Belly Pastor: Pastor-marinated Pork Belly atop Boniato Purée with Charred Pineapple and Crispy Cilantro We also think the boniato purée could have been better if a standard potato was used. The sweet potatoes and pineapple chunks added too much sweetness to the dish. Plus, the sauce came across like seasoned ketchup. We might have enjoyed a savory sauce to balance out the sweetness. The dish is $7.50. Pork Belly Pastor: Pastor-marinated Pork Belly atop Boniato Purée with Charred Pineapple and Crispy Cilantro It’s time for dessert! And that’s where the Taco de Chocolate comes in. Seriously, you had us at CHOCOLATE TACO. It’s a Chocolate Candy Shell filled with Mexican Chocolate Mousse with a touch of Chile topped with Tropical Fruit. Taco de Chocolate: Chocolate Candy Shell filled with Mexican Chocolate Mousse with a touch of Chile topped with Tropical Fruit Whoa. We really like this one. The combination of spice from the chile, the sweet fruit, and the rich flavors from Mexican chocolate mousse were fantastic. *chef kiss* So good! The spice isn’t overwhelming. It’s just a nice little kick to give the mousse some flavor. Taco de Chocolate: Chocolate Candy Shell filled with Mexican Chocolate Mousse with a touch of Chile topped with Tropical Fruit Mix a bite of the fruit with the chocolate together and it’s to die for. YAS. The dessert is $6. Drinks But wait, there’s more! Because there new drinks this year too! Menu But of course, WE ARE HERE FOR THE MARGARITAS. The first we tried was the Diego Pomegranate Margarita. This is made with Ojo de Tigre Mezcal, Pomegranate-Prickly Pear Juice, Blackcurrant Liqueur, and Rose Petal Liqueur with a Hibiscus Salt Rim. Yeah, baby! Diego Pomegranate Margarita There is a lot of fruit and floral flavors in this drink and we loved how it complements the Tigre Mezcal. We enjoyed this marg more than the other two drinks at this kiosk. It’s a smooth cocktail without a strong, apparent taste of booze. The rim is piled high with the hibiscus salt and we were here for it! We liked the super salty rim, but if you prefer, you can ask for the drink without salt. The margarita is $14.25. Diego Pomegranate Margarita But this is an ART festival, so we had to try the Frida Kahlo-inspired Frida Carrot Margarita with Casa Noble Blanco Tequila, Carrot Juice, Ginger Cordial, Lime Juice, and Agave Nectar. This is definitely a unique blend of flavors! Frida Carrot Margarita: Casa Noble Blanco Tequila, Carrot Juice, Ginger Cordial, Lime Juice, and Agave Nectar The margarita comes with an artsy lemongrass bubble that’s meant to be an Instagram-worthy decoration. Unfortunately, it was a little windy so we just managed to get a pic before the bubble blew away! Guard your marg against the wind if you want that perfect shot. Frida Carrot Margarita: Casa Noble Blanco Tequila, Carrot Juice, Ginger Cordial, Lime Juice, and Agave Nectar This is definitely a drink for people who like the taste of carrots! It’s absolutely the dominant taste in this drink. We happened to like carrots so it tasted great to us. In fact, we wanted more of a carrot taste! It’s also pretty boozy (another rarity at Disney) so be prepared to taste the tequila. The margarita is $14.50. Frida Carrot Margarita: Casa Noble Blanco Tequila, Carrot Juice, Ginger Cordial, Lime Juice, and Agave Nectar We ended our adventure with the Mexican Craft Beer, which is a Tulum Artisanal Lager with Citrus notes and made with Mexican Caribbean Seawater. Sounds interesting, right? Mexican Craft Beer: Tulum Artisanal Lager crafted with Citrus notes and made with Mexican Caribbean Seawater Well, it sounded interesting but ended up tasting fairly basic. That’s really not a bad thing though! It’s a smooth Mexican lager that beer-drinkers would enjoy. It’s a good choice for those of you who would rather choose a beverage that isn’t sweet or too adventurous. Mexican Craft Beer: Tulum Artisanal Lager crafted with Citrus notes and made with Mexican Caribbean Seawater There were three big hits for us at El Artista: the Chile Relleno dish, the Taco de Chocolate, and the Diego Pomegranate Margarita. Pair these three items together and you’ve got a great meal! EPCOT’s Mexico always knows how to bring the fiesta to the festival with tons of unique flavors, inspired by that country. So be sure to stop by and sample their delicious foods and drinks for yourself! 2021 EPCOT Festival of the Arts – Booths, Menus, and FOOD PHOTOS Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

The 2021 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts has officially arrived! Festival of the Arts We headed out for the first day of the festival to see what each of the Food Studios has in store for guests this year. Without further ado, let’s continue our food journey! Our latest stop takes us to The Painter’s Palate, a booth that’s returning after a one-year hiatus. Guests will find The Painter’s Palate located inside World Showplace. World Showplace Pavilion Menu Here’s a peek at the menu! The Painter’s Palate Menu Food First up, we tried the Prime Steak Tartare with pickled vegetables, parsley salad, Béarnaise Anglaise, and sous vide quail egg for $8.50. Both of the tartare dishes have the same accompaniments and a GREAT price for what you get. Steak Tartare The steak tartare was really nice and would be a good option for anyone who likes raw steak. It had a nice creamy texture and we enjoyed the crusty toast points with it. We definitely recommend getting a bite of everything together — including the parsley salad, pickled carrot, jalapeno, and quail egg! Steak Tartare That’s not the only savory dish this booth has in store. The Painter’s Palate also has the Salt-roasted Beet Tartare with pickled vegetables, parsley salad, and Béarnaise aïoli for $6.50. And believe it or not, this is actually a plant-based item! Beet Tartare We felt really positive about the accompaniments for both dishes but the beet tartare didn’t really sell us. The beets were…not great. Granted, our reporter isn’t a HUGE beet person, but she said they had a really weird aftertaste. Still, it’s nice there is an offering for plant-based folks. Beet Tartare For dessert, there’s the Pistachio Cake with cherry mousse and Morello cherries for $5.50. This dessert is pretty complex and has a lot of elements so try to stay with us as we break it down! Pistachio Cake The pistachio cake itself is very light and doesn’t have a lot of major flavors. We noticed a slight pistachio aftertaste and the cake isn’t very sweet. It’s not bad, it just doesn’t have a whole lot of flavor! Pistachio Cake The cherry-shaped treats are actually made of chocolate! They’ve got an ooey-gooey chocolate center with a white chocolate shell, dyed red to look like a cherry. It was a very good element to the dessert! Chocolate Cherry The little triangle things are the cherry mousse. This part was pretty tart so it’s best to mix it with the sweetness from something else. Cherry Mousse The little crumbles tasted like a little pistachio crumble cake that added some dimension and the real Morello cherries brought some more tartness to the dish. Cherry lovers will like this dessert more than pistachio lovers and if you’re looking for something sweet, you might want to look elsewhere! Pistachio Cake with Cherry Mousse and Morello Cherries Drinks And there are several beverage options to pair with your eats! At this booth, guests will find the Kalimotxo, a Red Wine Cocktail with Pibb Xtra for $6. Yes, a cocktail made with red wine and Pibb…? So, this tastes exactly like what it is. You get a kinda weird combo of red wine mixed with Pibb Xtra. We weren’t huge fans, but it was pretty sweet. Kalimotxo Or maybe the Frozen Rusty Nail Cocktail is more your speed for $15! The Rusty nail cocktail taste like a cinnamony frozen cider. It’s bourbon and tea with a chocolate nail. Cute…but we wouldn’t necessarily get it again. Frozen Rusty Nail Cocktail Last, but not least, you could also sip on the Pinord La Dama Reserva Familiar Brut Rosé for $12. The bubbly was delicious and not too sweet with more of a fruity profile. We really enjoyed it! Painter’s Palate Spread We’ll continue to make our way around to all of the other Food Studios at the festival, so stay tuned for more reviews…and, of course, this year’s Best of the Fest list!

We’re back at another year of EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts, and we couldn’t be more excited! Festival of the Arts We’re trying all the food, checking out all the activities, and watching all the entertainment to give you the latest news and reviews from this year’s event. First up are the eats, so we’re stopping by EPCOT’s China Pavilion to try out the food studio! The Painted Panda is the food studio in EPCOT’s China Pavilion, and we’re especially pumped to review this one. Several of the menu items from last year’s festival made it on our “best of the fest” list, so we’re hoping that the booth can continue to match its gold standard. The Painted Panda Without further ado, let’s dive right into the good stuff! This year, the food items on the menu are completely different than those from last year. While we miss last year’s selection, we’re definitely curious about these new choices. The Painted Panda Menu Time to find out if the new options stack up to the old ones! Food The first new item on the menu this time is the Old Shanghai Shi Zi Tou. It’s made with Pork and Water Chestnut Meatballs served with Taro Root and will cost you $8.50. Old Shanghai Shi Zi Tou This was a very nice portion! Several festival dishes are small because they are designed to allow you to eat around the booths, but this was a pretty big amount of food. The soy sauce with this added some sweetness to this which really enhanced the strong flavors in the meatball. Old Shanghai Shi Zi Tou The other food option here is the Sichuan Red Hot Mala Shrimp, made with and cost at $10.50. The texture of the shrimp was perfect, and this had a really nice kick to it! Although not listed on the menu, this dish (that looks like a literal shrimp cocktail) includes noodles and a Sriracha peanut mayo sauce. Sichuan Red Hot Mala Shrimp This was a super savory dish, and the flavors popped! We really loved this one, and it’s just a bonus that the skewered shrimp make a heart-like shape! This dish wasn’t overly spicy, but the spice did add to other flavors involved. Sichuan Red Hot Mala Shrimp We were impressed by the new eats this year, and although we miss the incredible dishes from last year, these are stellar replacements. Drinks All the drinks at The Painted Panda are the same as last year, so your choices are: “Panda” Bubble Tea, Jasmine Draft Beer, Fortune Cookie (ByeJoe Spirit, Amaretto, and Piña Colada Mix), Kung Fu Punch (Vodka and Triple Sec), and the Sea Butterfly (Butterfly Pea Flower infused Cocktail with Lychee Syrup, Vodka, Light Rum, and Magic Boba Pearls). Sea Butterfly We decided to try the Sea Butterfly again this year, and it looks STUNNING. This was exactly the same as last year, and it is still impressive! The flavors are very light and refreshing, and if you like florals, this highlights that. The boba in our drink didn’t burst, but was more like gelatin, but this is a super fun and gorgeous drink. Overall That’s all we have for The Painted Panda! The offerings at this booth are simply incredible and we would totally visit again. This booth is a bit more expensive than other booths, but the food and drink we tried were great!

Disney World Photopass photographers are some of our favorite cast members — after all, they capture many of our favorite moments at the parks! The Child PhotoPass Opportunity Now if you want to snap a pic with a Photopass photographer you’ll want to keep an eye out for some new outfits! Most Photopass Photographers are also usually pretty easy to spot too because, like other Cast Members, they have their own unique costume that involves blue slacks, a white shirt, and a beige vest. “Capture Your Moment” Memory Maker Well today, we noticed a few PhotoPass photographers at Disney’s Hollywood Studios looked a little different. They were dressed in casual grey North Face pullovers and dark wash jeans! When we asked about it, we were told that Disney is trying out a new casual look for PhotoPass photographers. PhotoPass Photographer Today, only about five PhotoPass photographers are modeling the new look, and it’s uncertain if it will stick around. We’ve seen this previously with other Cast Member costumes — for example, Beaches and Cream Cast Members’ new outfits are now more casual than before. This is just a testing phase and you’ll still see most Photopass photographers in their normal gear. We’ll keep an eye on the situation and let you know what we find out!

Welcome back to another weekly roundup of Disney World park hours and current Park Pass Reservation availability! We’ve been able to Park Hop in a modified fashion for a week now, and we’ve learned quite a bit already about what the process looks like! Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts The 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is here as well, giving guests more to see and do (and eat!) in EPCOT from January 8th through February 22nd! So let’s take a look at all the key information you’ll need to successfully tackle your trip to Disney World next week! Disney World Park Hours the Week of January 10th Let’s kick things off with a review of next week’s park hours, which are reduced from the schedule that the parks have had these past few weeks for the holiday season. Magic Kingdom will be open daily from 9AM-7PM, with Park Hopping hours available from 2PM-7PM. Magic Kingdom park hours the week of January 10th © Disney EPCOT will be open daily from 11AM-8PM, with Park Hopping available from 2PM-8PM. The Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts will be open the same hours as the park, from 11AM-8PM. EPCOT park hours the week of January 10th © Disney Disney’s Hollywood Studios will have the same daily hours as Magic Kingdom, from 9AM-7PM. Park Hopping at Hollywood Studios will be available from 2PM-7PM. As a reminder, if you want to ride Rise of the Resistance, Hollywood Studios needs to be your FIRST park of the day! At this time, you cannot Park Hop to Hollywood Studios and then get a Boarding Group for Rise of the Resistance. All Boarding Groups will be distributed for the day prior to Park Hopping being allowed. Disney’s Hollywood Studios park hours the week of January 10th © Disney Finally, Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be open daily from 8AM-5PM, with Park Hopping available from 2PM-5PM. Disney’s Animal Kingdom park hours the week of January 10th © Disney Each of the four theme parks have the same daily park hours next week, so deciding which parks to visit on each day will largely come down to Park Pass Reservation availability. If you are looking to add Park Hopping, keep in mind the hours that you have at each park after 2PM. Disney’s Animal Kingdom only has three hours of eligible Park Hopping (2PM-5PM), whereas EPCOT has six hours available to Park Hop (2PM to 8PM). Click here to read about our modified Park Hopping experience! Current Disney Park Pass Reservation Availability the Week of January 10th Let’s take a look now at current Park Pass Reservation availability! As a reminder, if you wish to Park Hop you are required to make a Park Pass Reservation for the first park you wish to visit, and you must visit and scan into the park for which you have a Park Pass Reservation before you Hop to your next park. Disney Resort Guests As of this writing, Disney Resort Guests can make a Park Pass Reservation every day at each of the four theme parks! Disney Resort Guest Park Pass Reservation availability for January 10th as of January 7th © Disney Theme Park Ticket Guests Just like Disney Resort Guests, each day next week is currently wide open for Theme Park Ticket Guests across all four parks. Theme Park Ticket Guest Park Pass Reservation availability for January 10th as of January 7th © Disney Annual Passholders Annual Passholder Park Pass Reservation availability for next week is different, but only slightly. As of this writing, Annual Passholders may make a Park Pass Reservation at all four theme parks from Monday, January 11th through Friday, January 15th. Annual Passholder Park Pass Reservation Availability for January 11th as of January 8th © Disney On Sunday, January 10th and Saturday, January 16th, Annual Passholders can make a Park Pass Reservation at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Annual Passholder Park Pass Reservation Availability for January 10th as of January 8th © Disney While there is currently tons of Park Pass Reservation availability, the situation could change on a daily basis! Disney frequently updates their availability calendar, so be sure to triple check ahead of your visit to make sure you can book a Park Pass Reservation. If you are Park Hopping, be sure to check and make sure the second, third, or fourth park you want to visit has the capacity to accommodate additional guests. As always, we’ll be keeping a close watch on Park Hours and Park Pass Reservation availability and bring you the latest planning information!

Looks like the NBA’s residence in Disney World wasn’t a one-time thing. Cinderella Castle Lit for the Lakers Win ©Disney You probably remember when much of the NBA moved into Disney World last summer to complete the season from the NBA bubble. Last month, it was reported that the NBA G League was expected to come to Disney World for another bubble. Now, the plan is CONFIRMED! According to NBA Insider Shams Charania, after nine months of delays, the NBA G League will be playing their 2021 season at Disney World, in the same bubble environment that the NBA used this summer. NBA Merchandise Play will occur in February and the top eight teams will advance to a single-elimination playoff. Basketballs from the NBA Experience Shop in Disney Springs As it was initially reported by CBS Sports, not every team will be participating because it’s reported to cost $400,000 to $500,000 for the franchises to send their teams to the bubble. Of the franchises, 11 have already opted out from sending their team. To see the list of which teams are set to go and which aren’t, click here.

While many of the food booths for Festival of the Arts are returning, there is a BRAND NEW booth this year! Vibrante & Vivido Vibrante & Vívido is new to EPCOT this year, so we can’t wait to try some new festival eats, especially since there are so many returning booths and menu items. So let’s dive in to the food from this exciting booth! Vibrante & Vívido offers fresh and bright flavors at this colorful festival including sweet and savory dishes. On the menu, you can find passion fruit mousse, chilled seafood cocktails, and fruit smoothies! Vibrante & Vívido 2021 Menu This new booth is inspired by Disney artist Mary Blair, who is responsible for the artwork on “it’s a small world” and many other projects! She’s known for bright colors, and the food totally reflects that! Vibrante and Vivido Since this booth is brand new, so of course we had to try everything on the menu! Food from Vibrante & Vivido This colorful spread of food and drink is so pleasing to the eye! So let’s see what we thought of the taste. Food at Vibrante & Vivido We started at the top with the Chilled Seafood Cocktail with Octopus, Scallops, Shrimp, Black Garlic Aïoli, Tomato-Coconut Sauce, and Serrano-Lime Oil. This was hard to eat for us because seafood is not our favorite, however if you like chilled seafood and are an adventurous eater, you’ll probably enjoy this one! Chilled Seafood Cocktail The colors of this plate are gorgeous, though, and remind us of Mary Blair! The seafood itself is an acquired taste, but we found it to be super salty. The sauce and aioli, however, were delicious and we really think die-hard seafood fans will love it. That being said, if you aren’t into seafood, you’ll want to steer clear of this one. This seafood spread costs $8.50. Chilled Seafood Cocktail Another completely new dish to the festival is the Blue Corn Pupusa stuffed with Cheese and topped with Shredded Pork, Guajillo, and Árbol Chile Sauce, Cabbage Slaw, and Aji Amarillo. For $6.50, we thought this dish was totally worth it. Even though it’s a little small, these colorful flavors packed a punch. The sauce had a kick to it which we really enjoyed! Blue Corn Papusa There was plenty of pork on top and the slaw was nice and crunchy. Of the two savory dishes, this one was the winner for us! Blue Corn Pupusa Not only can you find savory dishes here, but there is fruity dessert on the menu as well! The Passion Fruit Mousse comes with Dragon Fruit Jam for $4.75. We absolutely adored this treat! We originally weren’t huge fans of passion fruit, but this dish blew us away. Passion Fruit Mousse with Dragon Fruit Jam Overall, it is very tart and refreshing, and we love that the dragon fruit jam is in the middle! There’s a thin cookie on the bottom which added a nice crunch to each bite. Passion Fruit Mousse with Dragon Fruit Jam We did not expect to be this blown away, but this was amazing! Drinks at Vibrante & Vivido Vibrante & Vívido also offers 3 drinks on its menu! It’s clear that this is the booth for passion fruit lovers because you can grab the Coconut and Passion Fruit Smoothie, which is non-alcoholic, for $4.50. The flavors are great, but the best part is the cute cup! The smoothie itself was refreshing , but we didn’t taste much coconut. We also think this flavor combination is an interesting one, but it’s a good smoothie if you’re in the mood for one. Smoothie If you’re looking for a boozy and fruity drink, we also tried the Passion Fruit Daiquiri for $14! If you like to drink alcohol, but don’t want to taste it, this is the drink for you! As we said before, we aren’t huge fans of passion fruit, but this was pretty good. We’d probably pick a different booth for a slushy drink, but this isn’t bad at all. Passion Fruit Daiquiri For guests who want a more classic alcoholic drink flavor, you can snag the refreshing Frozen Piña Colada for $13! This drink was amazing! Piña colada fans will totally enjoy this one, because it had that classic flavor combo, but tasted really fresh. Frozen Piña Colada We could tell this didn’t come from a can, and it was delicious! Overall We think this is a booth for adventurous eaters, and those who love Instagrammable food! If you are or you have a picky eater with you, there are other booths that will likely suit your family or group better. That being said, the Passion Fruit Mousse totally surprised us! Full Spread at Vibrante & Vivido To find this booth, head to World Showcase where it sits in between the Morocco pavilion and the France pavilion. We’ll be making our way around the festival today, so stay tuned for reviews of other booths and see what makes our Best of the Fest! Keep track of ALL the reviews from the Festival of the Arts!

Ahh, do you feel that sense of culinary wonder in the air?! If you do, well, that’s because it’s festival time (yet again!) at EPCOT. Today, the 2021 Taste of Epcot International Festival of the Arts officially kicked off! And we’re here to taste (and photograph!) all of the beautiful food! 2021 Festival of the Arts Our journeys have brought us to Festival Favorites, which is located in World Showplace, the building between the United Kingdom and Canada Pavilions. We’ve enjoyed this trip down EPCOT Festival memory lane at Taste of Food and Wine and Taste of Festival of the Holidays, so we were definitely looking forward to checking it out today. The name of this booth certainly promises a lot: Festival Favorites! And we a spotted few items from the 2020 festival, including the Artist Palette Jumbo Chocolate-Chip Cookie and Lemon and Blood Orange Tart from the 2020 Decadent Delights booth, both of which we have LOVED in the past for their cuteness and deliciousness, respectively. Festival Favorites inside World ShowPlace Other menu items include a NEW Plant-Based Remy’s Ratatouille with Eggplant, Zucchini, Yellow Squash, Tomatoes as well as Red Pepper Piperade and Charcuterie with Meats and Cheeses. Check out a pic of the entire menu below! 2021 Festival Favorites Menu Drinks include: a non-alcoholic Blue Sky Black Cherry Boba Freeze, Cold Fashioned Coffee Cocktail, and the Neapolitan Beer Flight returning from previous years, featuring beers from 3 Daughters Brewing, Breckenridge Brewery, and M.I.A. Beer Company. Eats First, let’s talk about the NEW kid on the block: Remy’s Ratatouille. This plant-based dish comes with eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes and red pepper Piperade. Remy’s Ratatouille This is also the “Red” dish you need to find if you’re participating in the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine! While we anxiously await the opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in the France Pavilion, we have Remy’s signature dish to hold us over. But does this dish deserve to be located at Festival FAVORITES? Remy’s Ratatouille In short…not really. Our dish was very light in flavor and not as spiced as we would like. Another note we will point out is that our dish was served cold, which might raise some eyebrows if you prefer your ratatouille to be served hot. Remy’s Ratatouille You can try this new dish out for yourself for $5.00! Returning this year is the Charcuterie with Meats and Cheeses featuring Nueske’s applewood smoked beef. This dish used to be located at The Masterpiece Kitchen in the Canada Pavailion, but it has found a new home at Festival Favorites! Just LOOK at the assortment of items available with this dish. Charcuterie with Meats and Cheeses featuring Nueske’s® Applewood Smoked Beef This dish certainly IS a festival favorite of ours; in fact, it made our Best of the Fest list in 2019! We just can’t say no to a great charcuterie board, and you really can’t beat the presentation here! Charcuterie boards could become a little tricky to eat, but frankly dishes like these are all about savoring each bite while you sip on some wine and watch the world go by. Charcuterie with Meats and Cheeses This year’s edition was a GREAT spread! The applewood smoked beef had pickled jalapeños and celery making it nice and spicy! The other meats and cheeses on this charcuterie board offer a wide variety of flavors and textures. Charcuterie with Meats and Cheese If you fancy yourself a Charcuterie with Meats and Cheeses, it’s available for $14.00. Let’s move on to our old friend, the Lemon and Blood Orange Tart, which was named a Best of the Fest in 2019. This dish has amassed some steep competition in the last couple of years, however. Lemon and Blood Orange Tart Out of all the food items at this booth, the tart was by far the most “okay.” It’s very cute and checks the box for “Instagram-worthy,” but it didn’t WOW us like some other dishes we’re eating today. The middle of the tart was the best part with a citrusy flavor topped with fresh blueberries, garnished with white chocolate leaves and blood orange dollops that almost had a bit of a glittery sugar (again, totally Instagram-worthy). Lemon and Blood Orange Tart The donut shaped tart itself, however, is a little bland for our taste, and we didn’t get a big blood orange flavor when we tried it. If you’re a blood orange fan, you may be disappointed (although the flavor was much more prominent in the glittery dollops around the plate). Lemon and Blood Orange Tart If you’re looking for a dessert that’s less chocolate-y and more fruity, you can find this tart at Festival Favorites for $6.50. For a more traditional dessert, who can hate the Artist Palette Jumbo Chocolate-Chip Cookie?! Artist Palette Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookie This cookie a long-standing Festival of the Arts sweet treat that you definitely need to try at least once. Artist Palette Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookie Amongst all the fancy dishes we see at EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts, sometimes all you need is a solid, larger-than-life chocolate chip cookie. This one is available at Festival Favorites for $5.50. Drinks Festival Favorites also reunites us with some beloved beverages from previous years! Returning for 2021 is the Blue Sky Black Cherry Boba Freeze. This refreshing beverage appeared last year at the Pop Eats booth, giving the phrase “POP Eats” a literal run for its money. Those Boba pearls really do pop in your mouth! This non-alcoholic drink option is available for $4.50. Blue Sky Black Cherry Boba Freeze For those 21 and older, you can try the Cold Fashioned Coffee Cocktail! This fun play on an “Old Fashion” is definitely a unique find at the festival this year and could wind up being a bit polarizing, depending on how you feel about whiskey and coffee. The coffee flavor was very strong with a bit of an aftertaste, and whiskey fans may find themselves a bit lukewarm about this drink. Try it for yourself for $9.50! Cold Fashioned Coffee Cocktail Last up was the Neapolitan Beer Flight! This flight includes the three beers on tap at this booth: the 3 Daughters Brewing Strawberry Blonde Nitro (St. Petersburg, FL), the Breckenridge Brewery Nitro Vanilla Porter (Breckenridge, CO), and the M.I.A. Beer Company Milk Stout Nitro (Doral, FL). Neapolitan Beer Flight The Strawberry Blonde Nitro was nice and light. To us, it had just the right hint of strawberry and was not super fruity or overly sweet. Another refreshing drink for us was the Nitro Vanilla Porter. If you’re a fan of porters, consider getting the full size of this one! The only beer of the three that missed the mark for us was the Milk Stout Nitro, but in fairness you probably need to be a stout drinker to truly appreciate this one. Festival Favorites The flight is available for $9.50, or you can order the beers individually at $4.50 for a 6oz pour or $8.50 for a 12oz pour!

You’ll find these modern and innovative eats over at World Showcase Plaza. It offers both sweet and savory dishes that just might channel your artistic side! Here’s a look at the menu! 2021 Menu Food at Pop Eats! Returning from last year, you’ll find Shrimp Ceviche with Lime Mint Foam, Almond Frangipane Cake, and Pop’t Art! Now let’s take a look at all the fun options this Food Studio has to offer. A newbie to this Studio this year is the Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese for $5. Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese We love these soup and sammie combos! The grilled cheese was a nice basic sandwich with sharp cheese. The bread was a little greasy but still had a nice crunch to it. As for the soup, it had just enough tangy tomato flavor while still being rich and full! Tomato Soup This pairing is a classic! If you’re looking to take it to the next level, you can also order the Tomato Soup with French Onion and Bacon Grilled Cheese for $5.25. Tomato Soup with French Onion and Bacon Grilled Cheese The onion-y option has a grainier bread and the sandwich finds a nice sweet and salty combo. The soup dunk with this sandwich is SUPREME. We also really enjoyed the wheat bread and bites that had seeds in them! And the soup is served in a can — how fun!! Tomato Soup with French Onion and Bacon Grilled Cheese Looking for a refreshing option? There’s the shrimp ceviche with lime mint foam that we’ve enjoyed in the past! The flavors added by the citrus and mint make the dish light and tasty. You can grab this one for $6. The bright citrus notes and acidity from the lime foam make this snack extra refreshing AND delicious. Shrimp Ceviche with Lime Mint Foam Now onto the sweet stuff! If you’ve visited the Festival of the Arts in the past, you’ll probably remember this sweet, colorful cake that’s returning once again this year! The Almond Frangipane Cake is filled with colorful layers of raspberry jam and Belgian chocolate for $4.50. It just wouldn’t be a Festival of the Arts without a slice of this iconic cake! Almond Frangipane Cake And of course, we can’t forget about the Pop’t Art! This is a modern-designed sugar cookie with strawberry filling for $4.50. It’s like a slightly upscale version of eating a Pop Tart! Pop’t Art: Modern-design Sugar Cookie with Strawberry Filling Drinks at Pop’t Eats This year we’re missing the Blue Sky Black Cherry Boba Freeze that made its debut last year. However, there are still three other returning favorites! We’ve got the #RainbowSherbetGlitterDreamAle by Playalinda Brewing Co. to sip on for $4.50. Seriously, this is glittery beer, and it’s made our previous Best of the Fest for a reason! #RainbowSherbetGlitterDreamAle Also returning is the Popping Bubbles Cocktail which we’ve enjoyed sipping on for years! You can grab this drink for $10.50. The boba is so fun! Popping Bubbles Cocktail And finally, the drink that probably best represents the theming of this Food Studio — the Tomato Soup Can Bloody Mary ($14)! We’ve seriously LOVED this drink in the past and consider it one of the best drinks we’ve EVER HAD in Disney World. Especially for Bloody Mary fans! Tomato Soup Can Bloody Mary Overall Pop Eats tends to be a total must-do booth at EPCOT Fest of the Arts, and this year was no different. The fun plating here totally stands up to some of the more intricate and delicate presentations at other booths, and we TOTALLY appreciate an elevated serving of some comfort food.

Any time Disney World holds a food festival, we SHOW UP for bread bowls and macarons! L’Art de la Cuisine Francaise Offerings There’s just something so comforting and alluring about French food that really stands out in a crowd, and now that we’re stopping in at the France booth for EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, we’re craving that creamy brie! Menu No matter the EPCOT fest, the France booth (It’s L’Art de la Cuisine Francaise aka “The Art of French Cuisine” at Festival of the Arts) tends to be a SMASH HIT with our taste buds! Let’s take a look at that menu. Menu 2021 Time to EAT. And we’re trying the new eats this year! First up, we’ve got the Croissant à la Truffle Noir d’Hiver A.K.A. the Black Winter Truffle Croissant for $7.75. Croissant a la Truffle Noir d’Hiver This eat is savory truffle, so don’t expect sweet. It pretty much tastes like straight truffle and French bread. Our reporter loves truffle, so it was a good fit for her, but if you’re not into those flavors it could be a not-so-great bite. It’s got a LOT of very flavorful filling that honestly surprised us! Careful — some folks might think that consistency is a little weird. Black Winter Truffle Croissant Interior New this year on the dessert side is the Moelleux à la Framboise et aux Chocolats Valrhona, a Molten Chocolate and Raspberry Cake with Pure Origin Valrhona Chocolates for $7.75. Chocolate Raspberry Molten Cake This cake is SUPER rich and very good! Chocolate lovers are in for a treat. If you’re not into SUPER rich desserts, you might want to skip it — but the raspberry sauce does help to cut the richness! Chocolate Raspberry Molten Cake The $9.50 Trio de Macarons made our best of the fest last year and we’re trying them again to see what this Assortment of 3 House-made Macarons in a Gift Box is this year! 2021 flavors include Chocolate Passion, Cappuccino, and Strawberry Lime. Trio de Macarons We liked the Cappuccino the best of the three but they were all super yummy! This dessert is always fun, especially since you can take it with you in the cute little box. Trio of Macarons Drinks On to the drinks! This booth does have another returning best-of-the-fest-er, the Frozen French Martini for $14.50 (this thing tastes like LIQUID SMARTIES) AND a returning bubbly wine, the Charles Lafite, Brut Méthode Traditionnelle Champenoise, French Sparkling Wine for $8. Frozen French Martini There are two new wines that we’re sipping this year. First up is the Château La Gordonne, Vérité du Terroir, Côtes de Provence Rosé for $9.25. This is a very good dry rosé. It’s a great fit for those who don’t like sweet wine! Château La Gordonne, Vérité du Terroir, Côtes de Provence Rosé For red drinkers, there’s the Bordeaux Merlot and Cabernet Blend, Baron des Chartrons, 2015 for $8.75. This blend is on the dry side — but it’s not SUPER dry either. We loved it! Bordeaux, Merlot, and Cabernet Blend We can’t say we’re shocked, but L’Art de la Cuisine Francaise WOWED us again! Could it be a contender for best booth of the fest? You’ll have to wait and see! In the meantime, you can join us as we eat our way around EPCOT Festival of the Arts today.
