The holiday season has OFFICIALLY arrived at EPCOT and you know what that means — we are on our way around the world at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays! Funnel Cake Stand We’ve already had some stellar bites at Sapphire Holiday Kitchen, Le Marche de Noel, and Festival Favorites; but because our jobs are SO hard, we’re still going, and this time we’re at the Funnel Cake Stand in the American Adventure Pavilion for their new festival treat. Here, you can find the Southern-inspired Sweet Potato Casserole Funnel Cake for $9. Sweet Potato Casserole Funnel Cake menu sign It is topped with Marshmallow Topping, Cinnamon-Sugar, Honey-roasted Pecans, and a Caramel Drizzle. Sweet Potato Casserole Funnel Cake And yes, this treat looks as good as it sounds! Those sticky toppings are spread out all over the top of a crisp and BEAUTIFUL funnel cake. Sweet Potato Casserole Funnel Cake The dessert really DOES taste like casserole thanks to that marshmallow topping, and we loved the crunch of the nuts. If you’re a fan of marshmallow and fall spices, this treat could definitely be for you! Sweet Potato Casserole Funnel Cake You can find this at the Funnel Cake Stand in the American Adventure Pavilion now through December 30th!

We’re tasting our way around the 2020 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays! EPCOT Festival of the Holidays Just when we thought we couldn’t possibly make room for any more seasonal treats around Disney World the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays has arrived! And we’re stopping by alllll of the festival food booths to see which ones deserve a spot on the “nice list!” Our most recent stop takes us to the Tuscany Holiday Kitchen booth, located in the Italy Pavilion of the World Showcase! Tuscany Holiday Kitchen Here, guests will find several food options on the menu, as well as a selection of beer, wine, and cocktails. Tuscany Holiday Kitchen Menu You might spot some returning options like the Biancaneve Italian Flatbread with mozzarella, asiago, and parmesan for $8.50. This is your basic cheesy flatbread but is a great pick for pickier eaters in your crew. Check it out last year below: Bianca Neve We tried the Sacchetti alla Boscaiola for $9.50, which is a new item at this year’s festival! It consists of four-cheese mini beggar’s purses filled with sweet sausage, caramelized onions, pancetta, and cremini mushrooms with a creamy sauce. Sacchetti alla Boscaiola Beggar’s Purses are just the shape of the ravioli. They look like tiny tied up sacks! This dish is good, but not great. It kind of tastes like plain old ravioli. We had a lot of trouble picking up on the mushroom flavor but we did taste a LOT of bacon (the pile on top might have had something to do with it!). This might be an option for kids or those with picky palates (if they are ok with mushrooms!) but it wasn’t anything special. Sacchetti alla Boscaiola If you’re looking for a dessert, you can try the Cannoli Siciliani for $5.25, a crisp pastry filled with sweet ricotta, chocolate, and candied orange. Cannoli Siciliani This treat is actually pretty good but it’s a far cry from an ACTUAL cannoli. If you’re big into Italian food, this one WON’T fill your cannoli craving. We also didn’t taste much orange, mostly just lots of chocolate and a good crunch. BUT, it’s sweet, cool, and creamy. So if you’re looking for a sweet bite, this is a decent option. Cannoli Siciliani Drink wise, it’s all about wine here. You’ll find a little Italian beer as well. You’ll also find a reliably good drink here — the Italian Margarita. This has been a favorite for a number of years. Italian Margarita with Limoncello and Tequila As usual, this booth is just fine in our books — nothing to wow you, but if you’re a big cheese fan or picky eater it could be a good spot. This booth is reliable in a good or a bad way, depending on your tastes. We’d personally love some more unique options or stronger flavors out of this spot, but for many seeking approachable Italian eats, this is just what they’re after, and that’s totally OK too! If you’d like to try any of the items from the Tuscany Holiday Kitchen, be sure to visit the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays from now through December 30th! Happy holidays, DFB friends!

The EPCOT Festival of the Holidays has officially begun, which means we’re trying out all of the food booths! L’Chaim Booth Today, we headed over to the L’Chaim Holiday Kitchen! This booth first appeared at the festival in 2018, and we are glad to have it back for this year! The L’Chaim Holiday Kitchen offers items like Pastrami on Rye, Smoked Salmon Potato Latke, and a festival highlight, the Blue Cosmo Cocktail. Most of the menu is exactly the same as last year’s menu, so we’re here to see how these items compare to the previous festival! L’Chaim Menu Food We’ve pretty much tried all the food here, and we’re big fans of the Pastrami on Rye, which is served with house-made pickles and deli mustard. Just look at that beautifully marbled bread! The sandwich is $5. 2019 Pastrami on Rye The Smoked Salmon Potato Latke made its first appearance here last year! This is a delicious potato pancake with a PILE of smoked salmon and sour cream on top. It’s $5. 2019 Smoked Salmon Potato Latke And if you just want the Potato Latke with Sour Cream for $3.75, you can get that, too! It’s super yummy and we really don’t think you can go wrong with a crispy potato with sour cream. 2019 Potato Latke Ready for dessert? Try the Sufganiyot for $3.50. These are mini jelly-filled doughnuts, so pretty much, a yummy fruity treat! 2019 Sufganiyot The Black and White Cookie for $2.50 is part of the Cookie Stroll once again this year. This honestly isn’t one of our favorite cookies of the stroll, and definitely doesn’t do it for our reviewers who have had the real thing in New York City. It is also way too soft for a traditional NYC Black and White Cookie. Black and White Cookie Drinks This time around, we decided to have a taste of the Shmaltz Brewing Company Jelly Doughnut Pastry Ale. YES, PLEASE? Shmaltz Brewing Company Jelly Doughnut Pastry Ale And you know what? We weren’t sure how a jelly doughnut beer would taste, but IT IS REALLY GOOD. It’s a little spicier than some other beers we’ve tried at the festival, too. We don’t specifically get an actual doughnut taste, but there is a nice sweet afternote after each sip. Shmaltz Brewing Company Jelly Doughnut Pastry Ale The Blue Cosmo Cocktail is back this year, too, for $10. This cocktail is LOADED with vodka and Blue Curaçao, which gives it a super fun blue color! And it’s not super sweet, so it’s a pretty great drink! Blue Cosmo Cocktail We’re just getting the review party stated so be sure to stay tuned to DFB and read our reviews on ALL of the Festival of the Holidays booths!

The 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays has officially started, so you know what that means…it’s time to EAT! American Holiday Table We’re making our way through all of the festival booths, and today we’re headed to one spot that’s serving up some super traditional holiday eats. But is this booth worth a stop on your culinary trip around World Showcase? We’re about to find out! Can’t get enough of Turkey & stuffing? LOVE pumpkin and gingerbread? Well, the American Holiday Table booth at EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays may be a good choice for you! This booth is located at The American Adventure Pavilion. American Holiday Table This booth is a returning one from last year, but some of the menu has changed! Let’s take a look at exactly what has been modified. Menu If you were a fan of last year’s hand-carved smoked ham, chocolate pecan tart, or gingerbread cookie — you won’t find them here this year. That’s right, the menu at American Holiday Table saw some major changes this year! American Holiday Table We always get excited to see new items make it to the Festival, so we were hopeful one of the NEW items would become a favorite. Click here to see menus for all of this year’s Festival of the Holidays booths! Food The menu at American Holiday Table wasn’t entirely new. It did feature some returning items, like the crowd favorite Slow-Roasted Turkey, complete as always with Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, and Cranberry Sauce. If you didn’t get enough on your plate this Thanksgiving, there’s always enough turkey and stuffing to go around in the American Adventure! 2019 Slow-Roasted Turkey at American Holiday Table The Slow-Roasted Turkey is a solid deal, in our opinion, at $5.75. This booth is also the new home of the fudgy and delicious Chocolate Crinkle Cookie, which is part of the Cookie Stroll and in years past could be found at the Feast of the Three Kings booth. Chocolate Crinkle Cookie The Chocolate Crinkle Cookie is a favorite of ours and this year was no exception! It’s a standout cookie if you’re participating in the Cookie Stroll. And at only $2.50, it’s a bargain by Disney price standards! Chocolate Crinkle Cookie New to the menu this year is the Holiday Pot Pie with Jackfruit, Mushrooms, Carrots, Peas, Onions, and Puff Pastry. This is a plant-based item, which we’re always excited to see have more of a presence in Disney World. However, that excitement meant we were only more disappointed in that overall, this was just an okay dish. Plant-based Holiday Pot Pie Unfortunately, we didn’t notice much of a flavor, and we weren’t huge fans of its texture either. When it comes to our overall Festival picks, we wouldn’t get it again. If you’re interested, however, you can pick one up for $5.50. The other new food item is the Pumpkin Gingerbread Cheesecake with Cranberry Whipped Cream and Candied Pumpkin Seeds. Pumpkin Gingerbread Cheesecake Again, this dish missed the mark for us. If you’re a big fan of pumpkin, we think you may be let down by this dish, as the pumpkin flavor really wasn’t there. The Pumpkin Gingerbread Cheesecake costs $4.25. Beverages In terms of beverages, there are quite a few available! The menu includes the Shipyard Eggnog White Porter (Clearwater, FL), which smells great but didn’t have a strong eggnog flavor last year. There’s also the Playalinda Brewing Co. Peppermint Chocolate Porter (Titusville, FL)…wait, peppermint and BEER?! Playalina Brewing Co. Peppermint Chocolate Porter It sounds bizarre, but it works! This porter is absolutely awesome and makes for a great dessert beer. We know, peppermint in beer can has an odd flavor but trust us, this is great. It’s a drink that TASTES festive, which isn’t as easy to achieve as it sounds! Playalina Brewing Co. Peppermint Chocolate Porter We also grabbed a serving of Bell’s Bright White Ale (Comstock, MI), and we’re glad we did! This one was very nice and light with a little spice to it. Each of the beers at American Holiday Table is available for $4.50 for a 6oz pour, and $8.50 for a 12oz pour. Bell’s Bright White Ale For the wine drinkers out there, American Holiday Table also serves Chalk Hill Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast) for $7 and Martin Bay Vineyards & Winery Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) for $6. If you want to grab any of these items for yourself be sure to visit the American Holiday Kitchen booth at the Festival of the Holidays through December 30th, 2020.

Happy holidays from World Showcase in EPCOT! We’re taking you with us throughout the day to check out the holiday festivities and (most importantly) the food at this year’s Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays! Shi Wasu Booth As the event kicks off, we’ve been indulging ourselves with themed eats and drinks from the MANY food booths at the pavilions. And, we’re happy to see that the Shi Wasu Holiday Kitchen has brought back some menu items from previous years and has also added a brand NEW treat to the list! Love Soba noodles or Sushi? Shi Wasu Holiday Kitchen is the place to be at this year’s Festival of the Holidays! Shi Wasu Menu Food When you stop by this booth, you can try something savory like the New Year Celebration Soba, made with Buckwheat Soba Noodles, Hot Dashi Soup, Shrimp Tempura, Fish Cake, and Chopped Green Onion for $7.50. New Year Celebration Soba We loved the shrimp in this bowl because it had a tempera texture and flavor. If you like ramen noodles, we think you will really enjoy this bowl! We wouldn’t say it was our favorite savory item at the Festival so far, but it was still quite yummy. If you’re looking for a lighter option, you can grab the Chirashi Sushi Tree, which is made with Sashimi-grade Tuna, Salmon, Ikura, Yellowtail, and Vegetables on a bed of Rice for $6. Chirashi Sushi Tree | Photo from 2019 If you’re looking to try something brand NEW, there is now a strawberry dessert that you can grab to finish your trip to Shi Wasu! The Ichigo Mont Blanc Tart is a Strawberry and Bavarian Cream-filled Tart that’s sprinkled with Konpeito (which is a Japanese sugar candy). Ichigo Mont Blanc Tart Overall, the tart wasn’t bad but it wasn’t exactly the cutest. Ichigo Mont Blanc Tart The flavor of the tart reminded us a bit of the strawberry tart we’ve had in the France pavilion at Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie, but we honestly have to say we’d prefer the one in France by far. Beverages Want a drink to pair with your eats? You can sip on the returning Sapporo Draft Beer for $4.25 for a 6oz serving… Sapporo Draft Beer | Photo from 2018 …a Tsubaki Whiskey Sour, mixed up with Plum Wine, Whiskey, Cranberry Juice, Sugar, and Lemon for $7.75… Tsubaki Whiskey Sour | Photo from 2019 …or the non-alcoholic Ichigo Milk Boba, which is a Cranberry and Yuzu Cream Drink that has Japanese Calpico and popping Strawberry Boba Pearls for $5.25. Shi Wasu Holiday Kitchen Food Booth | Photo from 2018 Well, that’s all for us from the Shi Wasu booth.

It’s Day 1 of the 2020 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays Of course, while we’re having a blast eating and drinking our way through all of the Holiday Kitchens and exploring the fest in general, there is one VERY big problem we’ve noticed. EPCOT is CROWDED, as we expected (Did you know ALL FOUR Disney World parks are at capacity today?), and this is causing us some issues when it comes to eating our way through Festival of the Holidays. Now, we will note that crowds are usually higher on the first day of a festival, but today it seems busier than we’ve seen in the past! Crowds Every time EPCOT launches a festival, we find ourselves surrounded by LOTS of other folks who are also trying to get their snacks on the first day. Add in the fact that this is one of the SHORTEST festivals of the year (about one month long) and typically one of the highest demand times of year for Disney World, and you’ve got a recipe for crowding — even with capacity limitations. Large crowds don’t typically cause TOO much issue when it comes to eating around the festival, but this year is a little bit different. There are long lines at every booth — physically longer due to social distancing, creating bottlenecks and pinch points in some areas. We’ve waited in fairly substantial lines at certain booths — up to 30 minutes at some! But the bigger problem? There are very few tables compared to the number of folks that need them. Line at Sapphire Holiday Kitchen Keep in mind, you have to be stationary and actively eating or drinking to remove your mask so these tables are a hot commodity. We didn’t have as much trouble finding spots to eat during the 2020 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, but Disney World has since increased capacity from 25% to 35% max capacity, AND when the festival first began, we were able to eat and drink as we moved around, making it easier to tackle the fest. For this festival, it’s been a constant battle of waiting in lines for the Holiday Kitchens and then holding our food while we cross our fingers that a table will become available. Honestly, the table-hunting game is not very fun! World Showplace It’s entirely possible that these crowds will die down as we move away from Thanksgiving, but we wouldn’t be surprised if this continues to be an issue throughout the festival. If you’re planning on eating your way through the booths or have concerns about health at this time, we HIGHLY recommend opting to head to Festival of the Holidays on a non-Holiday weekday. And regardless of when you head to EPCOT in the coming weeks, understand that you may be faced with an uncomfortable level of crowding. Don’t make a plan that’s so rigid that you’ll be upset if it’s screwed up by lines and the dreaded table game, and be patient while you’re there. France Booth We’ll be checking in at EPCOT regularly to see if there are any changes made to the way lines work and to the tables offered.

EPCOT is practically buzzing with foodie excitement today! Gingerbread Martini We’ve been visiting each Holiday Kitchen at the Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. We discovered yet another holiday treat at L’Artisan des Glaces, but it’s not part of the festival. In fact, it’s not even on the menu! L’Artisan is famous for whipping up eye-catching Ice Cream Martinis made with a generous helping of ice cream and spiked with a splash of alcohol. Occasionally, the shop will pop a signature macaron on top for good measure. This is the kind of drink that makes EPCOT guests stop dead in their tracks just to get a look. The Pumpkin Mac-Tini is still on the menu, but the gingerbread ice cream has arrived for the holidays. So…we got a brilliant idea! Gingerbread Martini You can make a custom martini from any ice cream and your choice of alcohol. We did just that with the gingerbread ice cream and a shot of chilled rum. The top was covered in chocolate sauce for good measure. The drink ended up being $12.25. If you want, you can purchase a macaron separately to place on top, and voila! You’ve got your very own Mac-Tini! Gingerbread Martini The martini ended up being just as delightful as you would think! The gingerbread ice cream has a great holiday spice taste and is absolutely creamy. The rum was great but very strong. We suggest trying it with the Whipped Cream Vodka if you don’t want it to be too strong. Gingerbread Martini We’re all over EPCOT eating tasty treats and yummy sweets!

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of holiday cheer at Disney World, and we’ve really enjoyed checking out the festivities at the Disney parks and Disney Springs! Star Wars Tree In Disney Springs, we’ve tried some delicious treats, experienced some creative holiday entertainment, and had a lot of fun checking out the many decorated Christmas trees! There’s so much holiday merchandise to check out in World of Disney, and several restaurants are rolling out their holiday offerings. If you’re planning a festive night outside of the Disney Parks, then you’ll definitely want to stop off here — and now there’s a new treat that you can pick up in Disney Springs and take home to enjoy! The new Olaf Hot Cocoa Surprise Kit is available at The Ganachery in Disney Springs. It’s made for two and comes with an Olaf made of The Ganachery’s signature chocolate blend and 5 vanilla bean-flavored marshmallows. We wonder what the surprise is! ©Disney This would be the perfect beverage for cozying up on the couch to watch Christmas movies (maybe even Frozen, if you think that’s a Christmas movie). Olaf made an appearance at the Ganachery last year. Olaf Piñata And it may have been the orange nose…or his beady eyes. But we were totally sleeping with one eye open because that thing was pretty creepy. His eyes and teeth were suuuper creepy, but looks like they have made a few changes and he looks a little more adorable this year. We will have to see for ourselves in person though to know for sure! We’ll keep our eyes open for any more holiday snacks that arrive in Disney World, because you know we like to try them all! Click Here to See Photos and Reviews of All of the Holiday Treats!

We love checking out the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays booth in France, which is called Le Marche de Noel. Le Marche de Noel And although many of the menu items for the booth are returning from last year, we’ve been excited to revisit old favorites and try new ones! We took a quick glance at the menu and DUG IN. Marche de Noel Menu Food We tried this year’s new offering — the Dinde Forestière, Pommes Dauphines, which is turkey with bacon, mushrooms, onions in a mustard cream sauce with puffed potatoes. Doesn’t that sound delightful? This dish is $6.95. Dinde Forestiere The turkey in this is so good and moist. We even think people who don’t like turkey would enjoy this, especially as it’s covered in that yummy cream sauce with bacon and mushrooms. So tasty! There’s also a hint of mustard in the sauce. And the potatoes? They are fluffy potato cloud balls of happiness! Dinde Forestiere Now for the returning eats. We were big fans of the Rillette de Saumon last year. This is a salmon spread with house-made bread. The spread is DELICIOUS and has a great smoked flavor, along with hints of dill, sour cream, and mayo. It’s $5.75. Rillette de Saumon The Bûche de Noël au Caramel tends to be a hit as well. It’s a chocolate cake with dark chocolate caramel ganache, so basically, a DREAM come true for chocolate lovers. This is a returning favorite for several years running now, and we love seeing that it’s back again this year. Bûche de Noël au Chocolat “Christmas Log” Beverages But what about drinks? We started with a glass of the Village de France Cabernet Sauvignon for $6. It was a very good cabernet, but it was dry, so if you prefer a sweeter wine, this might not be for you. Cabernet Sauvignon But we had to try the Boosted Mimosa with Monin Immunity Boost, too, as it’s new! An alcohol drink with an immunity boost? Heck yeah! And it’s so important to keep our immune system healthy, right? Especially right now! In the end, it pretty much just tasted like a regular mimosa, but we think we feel a little healthier after drinking it! This drink is $9.50. Boosted Mimosa with Monin Immunity Boost The Rosé Pétillant Méthode Traditionnelle Champenoise, which is Rosé sparkling wine. It’s a refreshing drink that we previously enjoyed during the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival. This is one smooth and yummy drink. It’s $12. Rosé Pétillant Méthode Traditionelle Champenoise, Rosé Sparkling Wine Pink Flamingo Another returning favorite of ours is the super chocolatey Frozen Hot Chocolate Martini for $10.75. This is Grey Goose Vanilla Vodka with chocolate milk. We recommend this for those who love chocolatey boozy drinks! Warning, though: this drink packs a bit of a punch! Frozen Hot Chocolate Martini 2019 Le Marche de Noel has a variety of options and is totally worth checking out! And we’re still trying everything at this year’s Festival of the Holidays, so stay tuned! Follow along with us LIVE from the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays here!

We are LIVE from the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays! Already, we’ve tried what’s on the menu at Holiday Hearth, Festival Favorites, and Prost! 2020 Taste of EPCOT Festival of the Holidays Up next is a trip over to Sapphire Holiday Kitchen. Located in the Morocco Pavilion, this booth is serving up some returning items from last year’s festival! Right off the bat, Sapphire Holiday Kitchen gets points for having one of the prettiest booths across the festival. Sapphire Holiday Kitchen But does its menu measure up? Fans of Sapphire Holiday Kitchen will be glad to know that they’re serving up a trifecta of returning food items. Sapphire Holiday Kitchen Menu Let’s dig right in and see what’s in store this season! Food First up is the Grilled Lamb Kefta Kebab and Grapes, complete with Euro Cucumber, Red Pepper, Pickled Pearl Onions, and Harissa-Cilantro Dressing. Grilled Lamb Kefta Kebab and Grapes The Kefta is always a favorite of ours, and this year was no exception! Once again Disney delivered a solid, delicious, FLAVORFUL dish! It’s also a decent size portion of food to fill you up. Grilled Lamb Kefta Kebab and Grapes The Kefta dish costs $9. Next is the Confit of Chermoula Chicken Drum. This dish comes with Cinnamon Granny Smith Apple, Toasted Almonds, Brussels Sprouts, and a Pinot Noir Glaze. Confit of Chermoula Chicken There are a lot of flavors happening in this dish! If you’re interested in trying it out, it also costs $9. And last but certainly not least, we are reunited with our beloved Sfenj! We look forward to seeing this dish return each year, and it even made it on our Best of the Fest list from 2019! Sfenj! Sfenj is a plate of Warm Beignets (who doesn’t love a Disney beignet?) with Cream, Cinnamon-Sugar, and Chocolate Sauce. This is always a knock-out dessert and is NOT to be missed! This tasty dish costs $6. Beverages Sapphire Holiday Kitchen has three beverages to choose from. For an easy drinkable beer, you can sip on the Mediterranean Beer for $4.50 for a 6oz pour, or $9 for a 12 oz pour. It’s not the most exciting beer at the festival, but it’s a good choice if you’re a beer drinker and looking for something to pair with your food. Mediterranean Beer For everyone else, there’s the Kasbah Prestige Red Wine for $7, as well as the returning Andalusian “Poinsettia” Cocktail. This cocktail is a mixture of Sparking Wine, Orange Liqueur, and Cranberry Juice topped with Orange Blossom Water. It’s basically Christmas in a cup and it costs $9. Andalusian Poinsettia Cocktail If any of these tickle your fancy, be sure to stop by Sapphire Holiday Kitchen in the Morocco Pavilion during your visit to the Taste of EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays. The booths will be around through December 30th! Click here to see all of this year’s menus from EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays!

Buena Vista Street and Downtown Disney General Updates In terms of some general news, we noticed that Buena Vista Street was busier during our most recent visit as compared to its opening day. Disney California Adventure Park While we were there, all of the locations inside were using mobile wait lists, standby lines were longer, and more of the outdoor tables were taken. There was still plenty of room for social distancing though. Disney California Adventure Park While we were in Downtown Disney, we also heard an overhead announcement reminding guests to wear masks, wash their hands, keep six feet apart, and limit outings to those in your household. Disney California Adventure Park This was the first time we’d heard an overhead announcement since Downtown Disney reopened. Click here to listen to the new announcement! Well, that’s all for us from Downtown Disney today! We’ll continue to stop by Downtown Disney and bring you all the latest, so stay tuned for more updates.

The Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays has officially kicked off! Holiday goodies inspired by various countries and cultures have littered the park and you KNOW we’re trying them all! You can follow along with us live here! Christmas Tree in EPCOT, 2019 The event has been modified this year with less entertainment and limited menu items. Disney is still bringing us new items to try and even a few new food kiosks! New this year is the English Garden in the UK Pavilion. We’re trying ALL the holiday drinks inspired by the country that loves tea! Did you know it actually gets chilly in Florida?? Sometimes a brisk wind will pick up in Orlando and we might even put on a light jacket! It’s rare times like these that we could really go for a warm beverage. The returning holiday drink featured at the UK Pavilion is the Twinings Christmas Tea Toddy served with a cinnamon stick. You can choose to get this drink hot or iced, so there’s an option no matter the weather! Iced Toddy! You can order the modified hot toddy with a shot of Drambuie Scotch whisky or without alcohol. Iced Toddy We REALLY enjoyed this drink, it was quite refreshing! And it was a nice mid-day pick-me-up. Of course, it’s not the most creative drink, but it’s great for whiskey lovers! Definitely stop by the UK pavilion to try it out — it’ll be a great way to rehydrate after eating all the holiday snacks. Holiday Beverages The regular Iced Christmas Toddy is $3.99 a cup, while the alcoholic version will cost you $9.39. Today, we were directed to pay inside the shop. We then brought out our receipt and were given our drink. We were told that they should have a register outside tomorrow. So you should be able to purchase your drinks at the actual stand soon. Is it still too warm to enjoy a hot toddy in Florida? You can always make your own at home! The UK Pavilion gift shop sells a huge variety of Twinings Tea. Pick up some of the signature teas and create your own holiday beverage! Stay tuned with us all season long as we try the new bites and beverages at EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays!

This year’s Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays has officially begun! Today, we’re tasting all of the delicious eats and sips from around the world, of course with a fun, festive twist. Festival Favorites Festival Favorites is located in World ShowPlace in between the United Kingdom and Canada Pavilions, and features menu items from previous Festival of the Holidays! It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen some of these dishes appear in an EPCOT festival, so we were anxious to see how they would measure up! Let’s take a look at the menu! Festival Favorites Menu Foods First up, this booth serves Blackened Bass from the Seasonal Southern Delights booth from all the way back in 2016 (back when it was called Holidays Around the World)! Blackened Bass, White Cheddar Grits, and Okra with Tomato and Onion Stew This dish comes with White Cheddar Grits and Okra with Tomato and Onion Stew. This was a favorite of ours back in the day, although last time this dish came around, it was Blackened Catfish instead of Bass. Blackened Bass, White Cheddar Grits, and Okra with Tomato and Onion Stew The char on the fish was fantastic! The grits had an awesome consistency and flavor and the whole dish had a nice kick. If you’re a seafood fan, you’ll probably enjoy this! Blackened Bass, White Cheddar Grits, and Okra with Tomato and Onion Stew If you want to take a stroll down memory lane, this dish costs $7. Another returning dish from 2016 at Festival Favorites is Duck Confit and Dumplings from the Alpine Haus booth! Duck Confit and Dumplings with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Fig Reduction This dish comes served with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Fig Reduction. This dish wasn’t the BEST we’ve had. The duck was on the dry side and the dumpling was pretty mushy. We do have to say, though, the Brussel sprouts were DELISH. Duck Confit and Dumplings with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Fig Reduction If you’re participating in this year’s Cookie Stroll, be sure to stop by Festival Favorites and grab a Gingerbread Cookie for $2.50! Gingerbread Cookie Beverages Festival Favorites has two featured drinks, each with alcoholic and non-alcoholic variations. The First is Coquito: Tropical Eggnog, without alcohol for $4.25. This drink last made an appearance at the Feast of Three Kings booth from 2018’s Festival of the Holidays. Its alcoholic counterpart comes with Bacardi Gold Dark Rum for $10. This drink is good but not super flavorful. It just tastes creamy! Coquito The second beverage is Frozen S’mores. This is a much more recent “Festival Favorite,” since this drink JUST appeared at 2020’s Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival at Desserts and Champagne. For those 21 and older, you can also order this with Whipped Cream Vodka. This sip is good like always —very nice and thick! Frozen S’mores The non-alcoholic version costs $4.50, and the alcoholic version costs $11. The festival will be around through December 30th, so be sure to stop by Festival Favorites and have a bite, a sip, or both!

We’ve got our stretchy pants ready and our Santa Hats on because we’re at the grand opening of the 2020 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays! Holiday Hearth We just got a taste of the new Twix coffee and doughnuts from Joffrey’s Coffee and got a look at the EPIC gingerbread display at the Canada Pavilion. BUT, there’s a TON of brand new goodies joining the group with the debut of the Holiday Hearth this year! The Holiday Hearth is featuring a few of the snacks and sips you’ll find at other places around the World Showcase, including the Peppermint Bark, non-alcoholic Hot Cocoa, and Cocoa Candy Cane: Hot Cocoa with Peppermint Schnapps. However, since this is a new booth, the Holiday Hearth is also bringing SIX brand new items to the Festival of the Holidays this year! Red Velvet Mini Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Icing Salted Caramel Spaceship Earth Cookie Snowball Cookies Mouse Crunch Gingerbread Milkshake (non-alcoholic) Gingerbread Milkshake with Whipped Cream Vodka 2020 Holiday Hearth Menu Shall we dig in? Don’t mind if we do! Food The Red Velvet Mini Bundt Cake was an absolute delight! It’s lovely, it’s cute, and it’s super yummy. The cake is topped with festive icing and sprinkles to really bring out the Christmas spirit. Red Velvet Mini Bundt Cake We loved the rich cream cheese frosting at the center and the moist red velvet cake. Just look at how much cream cheese frosting fills the cake! The Instagram-worthy treat is $4 and big enough to share with a friend! Red Velvet Cake Filling The Salted Caramel Spaceship Earth Cookie is inspired by the beloved Spaceship Earth! The cookie is pretty cute in person and comes with a little holly-shaped frosting to remind you that it’s the holiday season! Salted Caramel Spaceship Earth Cookie It’s actually much tastier than it appears! It’s very sweet, which is to be expected when you combine salted caramel filling with a crispy cookie! It’s so sweet that we would almost prefer it without the chunky sugar-coating on the top half. Also, the cookie is a hefty size! You basically get two cookies for the price of $5.25! Salted Caramel Spaceship Earth Cookie The sugar-powdered Snowball Cookies are not overly sweet and really enjoyable! We absolutely loved them and would totally buy these again. We’re also big fans of the container keepsake that comes wrapped in a red bow. You get quite a few cookies in the jar and it costs $4. Snowball Cookies The Mouse Crunch is an assortment of popcorn, chocolate pretzels, and M&M’s pretty much screams, “It’s Christmas!” The various goodies come wrapped in holiday cellophane so you can transport it home easily. Or, eat your snacks throughout the day! Mouse Crunch The mix comes with caramel and apple popcorn. The popcorn tasted very similar to the Caramel Apple Popcorn we had at the Appleseed Orchard during this year’s Food and Wine Festival. Only, this mix comes with the added bonus of chocolate candies and pretzels! You can get this bag of snacks for $6.50. Mouse Crunch Ok, but what’s the holiday season without a little peppermint bark? The white chocolate is coated with bits of crushed peppermint. So basically, it has all the components of Christmas in one treat! The bark from Hearth is fairly predictable in taste, but still very delish. You can purchase a bag for$6.25. Peppermint Bark We recently enjoyed the Stollen bread from the Gasparilla Grill in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Our experience with EPCOT’s Stollen: Holiday Fruit Cake was similar to the Grand Floridian’s treat. The bread is really tasty, but not too sweet. Our only complaint here is that it doesn’t come packed with nuts and fruits. A solid fruit cake should be absolutely stuffed with goodies and this was a little lacking. Stollen: Holiday Fruit Cake However, the bread comes dusted with a fantastic amount of powdered sugar, which we always enjoy! You can try the fruit cake for $4.25. Beverages Ok, it’s time for the STAR of the show! EPCOT made our visit to Hearth worth it by adding this yummy Gingerbread Shake with Whipped Cream Vodka! It’s a rarity for us to actually taste the alcohol in a boozy shake, but we absolutely noticed the vodka in the shake. Gingerbread Milkshake We also loved the richness of the gingerbread milkshake that cut down the alcohol a bit. The texture of the shake combined with the crunchy cookie made it a showstopper and worth the calories! You can get the boozy shake for $11 or without alcohol for $4.50. Gingerbread Milkshake The Cocoa Candy Cane made a fantastic return this year too! We’re big fans of the balance between the peppermint and hot chocolate in the drink. Plus, the marshmallows add a touch of good sweetness to the drink. It’s a classic take on the Peppermint Schnapps and cocoa treat! The drink costs $11. Cocoa Candy Cane That’s a LOT of food, but we promise we’re saving room for more!

It’s November 27th, and you know what that means — the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays has officially started! Christmas Tree in Epcot Now, Christmas is going to look a little different at EPCOT this year. Due to the global health crisis, Disney World has canceled its famous Candlelight Processional, and the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is undergoing some changes as well. You may not be able to meet Santa Claus or Anna and Elsa during this time, but Disney has gotten really creative with character cavalcades since reopening! And EPCOT has some SPECIAL ones for the holiday season! Here’s who we spotted while rockin’ around EPCOT today! Frozen Holiday Promenade Anna and Elsa have been riding (and walking) around EPCOT since the park reopened, but now they’re in the holiday spirit! Our favorite Frozen sisters showed up in full Christmas cheer to greet the royal subjects of the World Showcase today. Frozen Promenade As usual, poor Elsa had to walk around the World Showcase (we think she deserves her own carriage), but she seemed to be in good spirits while doing it! She’s wearing her ice spirit dress, which really fits the “Winter Wonderland” theme of the holiday season. Frozen Holiday Promenade Anna’s carriage was all decked out in icy holiday decorations, which add a really great pop of color. She looked absolutely thrilled to have all these guests in EPCOT for the Festival of the Holidays! Frozen Holiday Promenade We caught a video of the royals strolling through EPCOT, check it out below! There’s SO much more happening at EPCOT during the holiday season, from music from JOYFUL! A Celebration of the Season to all of the seasonal treats at the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. And you know we’ll be here for ALL of the holiday cheer!

We sure hope you’re ready to get sippin’ because we found the best booth for imbibing! Prost! Spread That’s right, we’re munching and crunching our way through the 2020 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays and that means that we’re feeling the need to stop for some drinks to wash down all the food. Luckily, World Showplace’s Prost! has us covered! This year, the menu looks a little different since beer flights aren’t a thing in the interest of health and safety. But, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some GREAT beers! Here’s a glimpse at the menu. Prost! Menu Let’s dive into the options! Food Whaaaaaat? A beer-based booth has food? Why yes, yes it does! We’re trying out the Charcuterie and Cheese Plate for $6.50 to cushion the beer that we’re about to drink. This plate has an assortment of meats, cheeses, fruit spreads, and artisanal crackers. Charcuterie and Cheese Plate The board was very good with awesome quality ingredients. Our big complaint is that it’s too small; what’s on there is good but it needs more of everything. There are lots of crackers but not too much to eat them with. Charcuterie and Cheese Plate But the REAL action at Prost! is on the beverages side. Beverages Prost! is offering six different beers and ciders this year, four of which are NEW! You might recognize the M.I.A. Beer Company White Christmas IPA, and the 3 Daughters Brewing 70 Degree Winter Weizen. These options are very flavorful and great choices for beer-lovers. Prost! Now, let’s talk about the NEW beer! This year, we’ve got the Playlalinda Brewing Co. Gingerblonde House Ale from Titusville, FL. This beer was a delight! It’s not too sweet and you can really taste the ginger. Playalinda Brewing Co. Gingerblonde House Ale And we’ve got some ciders to try too. First up, we’ve got Ciderboys Mad Bark Apple Cinnamon Hard Cider from Stevens Point, WI. This one was VERY potent but definitely still a tasty sip! Ciderboys Mad Bark Cinnamon Apple Hard Cider Next, we tried the new 3 Daughters Brewing Blueberry Peppercorn Hard Cider from St. Petersburg, FL. This cider was interesting. We could really taste the blueberry, but not the peppercorn. It’s not so sweet so maybe the peppercorn is in there to help with balance. 3 Daughters Brewing Blueberry Peppercorn Hard Cider And finally, we’ve got the Beak & Skiff Apple Orchards 1911 Honey Crisp Hard Cider, from Lafayette, NY. This is the only one that we felt leaned a little too far to the sweet side. Still, it was a yummy sip! Beak Skiff Apple Orchard 1911 Honey Crisp Hard Cider You can snag each of these beers for $4.50 for a 6 oz pour or $8.50 for a 12 oz pour over at Prost! We won’t lie, it’s hard to pick a favorite! And honestly, we wish there was a flight! It can be difficult to down all of this when you can’t walk and drink. So keep that in mind! You’ll have to tell us which beer you like the best, and stay tuned as we continue our route around the Festival of the Holidays! We’re LIVE from the Festival of the Holidays!

Festival of the Holidays Spirit Jersey As you can imagine we are eating our way around the ENTIRE festival and bringing you along every step of the way.
