The wild is calling! Disney and Pixar’s Hoppers hits theaters this Friday, March 6, and Disney Experiences is getting ready to celebrate the fun and heart of this all-new adventure. From exciting interactive experiences to new merch, the spirit of Hoppers is coming to life in exciting ways. Now, let’s hop into the fun! Disneyland Resort Mabel’s Seek & Find at Redwood Creek Challenge Trail Hit the trail and step into the shoes (or paws) of one of four animals with Mabel’s Seek & Find activity. Found inside the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail inside Disney California Adventure park (park ticket and reservation required), you can kick off the celebration of Pixar’s latest film by receiving a physical, keepsake map packed with exciting challenges guests of all ages can complete along the trail. Each task brings you a step closer to finishing your adventure. Once you’ve explored each of the challenges and navigated a variety of twists and turns in the area, earn one Hoppers-themed sticker as a complimentary prize to celebrate. With King George, Ellen Bear, Insect Queen, or yes, even the iconic and already-beloved Tom Lizard featured on the stickers, you’ll be ready to wear it loud and proud across Grizzly Peak after your journey. And recently, Piper Curda and Bobby Moynihan stopped by the park for a day filled with plenty of unforgettable moments: Prepare for your next pursuit with activities along the Redwood Creek trail, available throughout the year: Cliff Hanger Traverse Rock Climb Hoot n’ Holler Log Slides Sequoia Smokejumpers Training Tower The Spirit Cave Draw Characters from Hoppers at Animation Academy Step into the animator’s chair and dive into the art of sketch with a new drawing experience inspired by Hoppers at Animation Academy in Disney California Adventure. For a limited time, artists of all ages can learn step-by-step how to draw characters from the film including Mabel, Tom Lizard, or King George, guided by a talented animator. Whether you’re a first-time sketch artist or a seasoned doodler, this interactive experience lets you see how these lively characters take shape. Best of all, you’ll leave with your very own one-of-a-kind keepsake. Classes occur every 30 minutes throughout the day inside the Disney Animation Building in Hollywood Land, and there are no reservations required for this creative experience.

We’re just as excited as you about the announcement of Disney World’s free dining plan offer. However, with a deal that delicious, there have to be some rules written in between the lines for how you can take advantage of this. San Angel Inn Disney just revealed exclusive early access to a brand-new Disney Dining Plan offer that will allow guests to get a FREE Dining Plan when they book their next Disney World vacation for the summer. Like we said, there are some rules that you’ll have to follow for this deal, so let’s take a look at what they are! Rule 1: You Need to Be a Disney Visa Cardholder (for now) Yes, Disney World just released a NEW Dining Plan offer. However, that offer is only available for Disney Visa Cardmembers…at least for right now. Disney Visa Cardholders have exclusive access from right now through March 11th! This is more of a temporary rule, because it’s for early access to the Dining Plan. This FREE Dining Plan offer is likely to be released to everyone at some point. Disney Visa Card Rule 2: You Need to Book a Disney World Vacation The Disney Dining Plan isn’t available for guests who are just showing up for the day; you need to book a full Disney World vacation through a Disney World Resort hotel. So, for guests who buy a single-day ticket for the day, for example, you won’t have any way of accessing this. Same with Disney World Annual Passholders who are pulling up to EPCOT at 2 PM. Spaceship Earth Rule 3: The Length of Your Stay So, now that we know you need to book a Disney World vacation through a Disney World hotel, the next thing to note is how long that hotel stay needs to be. To access the Disney Dining Plan, you need to use your Disney Visa Card book a non-discounted 4-night, 4-day (or longer) stay. It can’t be any shorter than 4-nights, otherwise you won’t be able to take advantage of the offer. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Rule 4: The Park Tickets You Need to Buy In order to have access to this offer, you’ll also need to purchase a 4-day theme park ticket (at minimum) with a Park Hopper option — this is required. Fantasyland Rule 5: The Select Dates You Need to Go On It’s very important to note that when you’re booking your vacation, the deal is only valid on select nights! This includes: June 28th to October 3rd, 2026 October 19th to October 31st, 2026 December 6th to December 21st, 2026 Seaside Chicken Strips Rule 6: Where You Stay Of course, since you’re booking a Disney World vacation at a Disney World hotel, where you stay specifically matters for the deal. To get the FREE Standard Dining Plan during the select dates, you’ll have to book a room between those dates at these hotels: Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort (Disney Vacation Club) Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Jambo House Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village Disney’s Beach Club Resort Disney’s Beach Club Villas Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Disney’s BoardWalk Villas Disney’s Contemporary Resort Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Disney’s Old Key West Resort Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows Disney’s Riviera Resort Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Disney’s Yacht Club Resort The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Disney’s Contemporary Resort To get a FREE Quick-Service Dining Plan during the select dates, you’ll need to book a room at one of the following hotels: Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort Disney’s All-Star Music Resort Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort Disney’s Pop Century Resort Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside Port Orleans — French Quarter A Disney World vacation can get so pricey, so quickly. The Disney Dining Plan is such a great way to save money on food and relieve stress from spending that much more. If you’ve never done the Disney Dining Plan or want some more details on what it entails, don’t worry, we got you! The Standard Disney Dining Plan includes: One table service entrée, dessert (lunch and dinner only), OR full buffet; Guests under 21 years of age can choose one non-alcoholic beverage with their Quick Service and Table Service meal (including specialty beverages for guests 10 years old and over — i.e. Artisanal Milk Shakes, Fresh Smoothies, Premium Hot Chocolates, or Soda, Coffee or Tea — where offered). Guests 21 and older can choose either one non-alcoholic beverage (including specialty beverages where offered) or one single serving mixed cocktail, beer, or wine (where offered) within their meal entitlement. One quick service meal, including entrée OR combo meal; Guests under 21 years of age can choose one non-alcoholic beverage with their Quick Service and Table Service meal (including specialty beverages for guests 10 years old and over — i.e. Artisanal Milk Shakes, Fresh Smoothies, Premium Hot Chocolates, or Soda, Coffee or Tea — where offered). Guests 21 and older can choose either one non-alcoholic beverage (including specialty beverages where offered) or one single serving mixed cocktail, beer, or wine (where offered) within their meal entitlement. One snack/nonalcoholic drink One Resort refillable drink mug per person, per package Arrachera Wagyu Some people don’t know this, but the reason there is a standard/normal dining plan option is that there is also a Quick-Service Disney Dining Plan. This plan includes: Two Quick Service meals (entrée or combo meal at lunch and dinner, and a beverage); Guests under 21 years of age can choose one non-alcoholic beverage (including specialty beverages for guests 10 years old and over — i.e., Artisanal Milk Shakes, Fresh Smoothies, Premium Hot Chocolates, or Soda, Coffee, or Tea — where offered). Guests 21 and older can choose either one non-alcoholic beverage (including specialty beverages where offered) or one single serving mixed cocktail, beer, or wine (where offered) within their meal entitlement. One snack/nonalcoholic drink; One Resort Refillable Resort drink mug per person, per package.

By reading the book for 10 minutes, you’ll be able to come to a decision.

Disney World has a lot of unwritten rules, and some of them will genuinely catch you off guard if you’re not paying attention. Fireworks from Bamboo Forest Terrace We’re not talking about park hours or reservation windows here. We’re talking about the kinds of curfews that sneak up on you mid-vacation and can seriously derail your evening plans. These are the cutoffs that even seasoned Disney guests overlook, and trust us, finding out the hard way is not a fun time. So before your next trip, let’s make sure you know exactly what you’re working with. The Disney Skyliner Shuts Down Before After-Hours Events End This one catches so many guests off guard, and honestly, it makes sense that it does. If you’ve scored tickets to one of Disney’s After Hours events, you’re probably thinking you have the whole night to play with, so why not hang out as late as you possibly can? EPCOT After Hours Here’s the thing, though: the Skyliner has its own closing time, and it doesn’t wait around for after-hours events to wrap up. If you’re relying on the Skyliner to get back to your resort and you’re not paying close attention to when it stops running, you could find yourself scrambling for an alternative way back at the end of a very long night. Always double-check the Skyliner’s posted operating hours on the day of your visit, because they can vary, and plan your evening transportation accordingly. The Polynesian Fireworks Viewing Has a Hidden Time Crunch Watching the fireworks from the Polynesian Village Resort is one of those Disney World experiences that feels incredibly low-key and special. You grab a drink, find a spot on the beach, and watch Happily Ever After light up the sky without the massive Magic Kingdom crowd around you. It’s genuinely one of our favorite things to recommend. Wave Break Terrace But here is what nobody tells you until it’s too late: if you’re staying at a resort that requires you to take Disney transportation from Magic Kingdom to get home, lingering on that Polynesian beach longer than you planned can seriously eat into your window. Disney’s resort transportation doesn’t run forever after the parks close, and the longer you hang around watching the post-fireworks glow, the tighter that window gets. By the time you make your way back into the Magic Kingdom hub and find your bus stop, you might be cutting it really close, or worse, missing your last ride back entirely. If the Polynesian fireworks viewing is on your must-do list, just make sure you’ve got a realistic sense of how long it’ll take you to get back to the park and onto your transportation home before those options stop running for the night. Resort Buses Stop Running Well After Midnight, But Not Forever A lot of guests assume that Disney’s resort transportation just kind of runs indefinitely after the parks close, and while the buses do run later than the official park hours, they aren’t running all night. After a late party or an extended hours event, there’s a window where buses are still looping, but that window does eventually close. Disney Bus If you’re staying at a resort that isn’t walking distance to any of the parks or connected by the monorail, this matters a lot. Missing the last bus back to your resort means either a pricey rideshare or a very long wait for something to figure itself out. Keep an eye on what time transportation wraps up for the evening, so you’re not the group still standing at a bus stop at 2 AM, wondering what happened. Water Transportation Has a Closing Time Too If you’re staying at one of the Magic Kingdom area resorts like the Grand Floridian, Wilderness Lodge, or Fort Wilderness, there’s a good chance you’ve fallen in love with the idea of hopping on a boat to get around. And honestly, we get it. It’s one of the most charming ways to experience Walt Disney World, and it makes the whole trip feel that much more magical. Water Taxi What a lot of guests don’t realize, though, is that the water transportation doesn’t run indefinitely after the parks close. Just like the buses and the Skyliner, the boats have a cutoff, and if you’re counting on them to get you back to your resort after a late night at Magic Kingdom or a special ticketed event, you need to know when that cutoff is. It’s really easy to lose track of time after a long, fun day and assume the boats will just be there waiting for you whenever you’re ready, but that’s not always the case. Water Taxi Before you commit to water transportation as your ride home at the end of the night, check the posted operating hours for that day and factor in how long it actually takes to get from the park to the dock. A little bit of planning here goes a long way, and it’s a much better feeling than showing up at the waterfront and realizing the last boat already left without you. We know it’s a lot to keep track of, but that’s exactly why we’re here! Knowing these curfews ahead of time means you get to spend your vacation actually enjoying yourself instead of stressing about logistics on the fly. Until then, keep it right here for all the latest from Disney!

Disneyland After Dark events are a great way to have some fun in Disneyland without all the crowds. They’re also a great way to take part in some exclusive activities AND see some special entertainment just for that event. Hey, Mickey! However, maybe the best part (okay, maybe second-best part if you’re including exclusive snacks), is all the characters you can meet at one of these events. We usually end up seeing characters you don’t see at ANY other time, so it’s always exciting. Well, we just attended Disneyland After Dark: 70 Years of Favorites, and we got to see some SUPER rare characters, and we just had to tell you about it. Disneyland After Dark: 70 Years of Favorites is only happening on two nights: March 3rd and 5th. Tickets are $159 per person and include entry into the park three hours before the event officially starts at 9 PM (so you can get in as early as 6 PM). The event itself, though, includes some super rare characters, and let’s just say that some of the characters we met were really making us feel VERY nostalgic. ©Disney So, who can you meet during this special event? Disneyland has listed the following characters on its website: Mickey Mouse and pals Disney Princesses Some favorite “Long Lost Friends” from The Disney Afternoon Mother and Father from the attraction Carousel of Progress Merlin from The Sword in the Stone Flik from A Bug’s Life Atta from A Bug’s Life Fantasmic! Monkeys Although some of these characters are ones you can meet during the day in Disneyland, others are super rare and pretty much exclusive to this event. So let’s check out who we got to meet during Disneyland After Dark: 70 Years of Favorites — starting with the Monkeys from Fantasmic! Fantasmic! monkeys We also spotted Merlin from The Sword in the Stone up to his usual antics… Merlin …and Scrooge McDuck over in Toontown! Scrooge McDuck Scrooge McDuck was joined by Huey, Dewey, and Louie, of course. Huey, Dewey, and Louie We also got to say hi to Flik from A Bug’s Life! Flik Our favorite character spotting of the night had to be Mother and Father from the Carousel of Progress, though! It’s rare that characters from rides come to life like this, so it was super cool to see. Mother and Father! We had SO much fun interacting with these characters, and it’s a shame we don’t get to see them often, but when we do, it’s always a good time. We’ll keep an eye out for more fun character interactions and entertainment in the parks, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more. 2026 Disneyland After Dark Events in Disneyland Resort DON'T DO IT ALONE!

Disney World is wasting absolutely no time getting started on the transformation of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster from Aerosmith to The Muppets. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is closed! On March 2nd, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith permanently closed to make way for the new Muppets version of the ride, and while we’re sad to see another Disney World OG close, we’re excited about what The Muppets will bring to this ride! On a recent trip to Hollywood Studios, we spotted yet another sign that this ride is changing — and it’s a pretty big one if you ask us! On a recent visit to Hollywood Studios, we noticed some changes over in the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster courtyard! The entrance to this ride has always been marked by an upside-down car, teasing riders with what’s to come on this attraction. It’s typically been light blue (or silver, depending on who you ask), just like the original ride vehicle… The original car …but now, it looks like some super sweet flames are being painted on the car! The NEW car! At the moment, it looks like the flames are only on the back of the car, so this may be just a test to see how it will look before Disney decides to make this a permanent change. We think it looks pretty good so far, though! Check out those flames! The day after the ride closed, we saw that the wording had already been taken off the guitar in the courtyard! We can see where it used to say “Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith,” likely because it was on there for so long, so it left a lasting mark. The guitar Based on the concept art for the new attraction, it looks like the guitar itself will stay, but it’ll be painted to better match The Electric Mayhem’s iconic van’s color scheme. It’ll also get the new name for the attraction. ©Disney Disney has shared that Scooter, as band manager, along with the penguin audio engineers, will be working hard to get Electric Mayhem to make it on time to their concert! They confirmed this will be the first time Scooter has ever been imagined as an audio animatronic and that he might not be the only one in the attraction. However, they said we will have to learn more about that at a later date. ©Disney Throughout the attraction, we will be getting a VIP tour of G-Force Records, which is under new management by The Muppets! We’ve also been warned that G-Force Records has a snazzy new look now that Scooter’s uncle, real estate tycoon and owner of the Muppet Theatre, J.P. Grosse, is in charge. ©Disney We’ll be on the lookout for even more changes at Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and Hollywood Studios.

It’s officially time for the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival! If you’re overwhelmed by ALL the different snack options to choose from, don’t worry, we’ve tried them all, and we’re telling you which ones you NEED to have. Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade This year, the Flower and Garden Festival runs till June 1st, and we have the 2026 Best of the Fest right here at Disney Food Blog. Sit back, grab a notebook, and be prepared to be hungry! New Bests Tuna Poke Bowl at Nectar This bowl is made with edamame, avocado, mango, pickled red onions, seaweed salad, furikake, and umami sauce, all on top of sticky rice for $8.79. Poke Bowl at Nectar We really loved all the different elements on this dish and how they worked together. The tuna felt high-quality, and the rice was perfectly sticky. The veggies added a nice tang and crunch, and the whole bowl was great quality and value. It might be our new go-to lunch. Read our full review of Nectar DOLE Whip Peach at Swirled Showcase You know we love DOLE Whip, and this one was served in a cone for $6.29. Peach DOLE Whip We’re begging Disney to bring this back all year round. It’s light and refreshing and mildly sweet without being too much. The peach flavor tasted natural, and we could eat this again and again. Read our full review of Swirled Showcase Cinnamon Beignets at The Citrus Blossom This brand-new treat costs $5.29 and are cinnmon beignets tossed in lemon sugar, lemon glaze, and honey mead-blueberry compote. Cinnamon Beignets These are so easy to share and have a strong lemon flavor that was balanced by the honey mead-blueberry compote. We were super impressed that it had full blueberries in it, and the beignets were doughy and thick in the middle. Read our full review of The Citrus Blossom Garden Vegetable Flatbread at Trowel & Trellis We didn’t know we could love flatbread this much. It’s a flatbread featuring Boursin Crumbles Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese, with roasted vegetables and arugula salad for $5.59. Garden Vegetable Flatbread Look at this portion size for $6! The Boursin was creamy and complemented the vegetables well, and the whole dish felt bright and fresh. We think this might be our new go-to lunch for a while (well, Flower and Garden Festival always gives us lots of lunch options!). Read our full review of Trowel & Trellis Returning Bests Trio of Dips and Chips at Yacht Grub This trio of dips includes housemade potato chips with whipped feta dip and candied lemon, caramelized onion dip and caviar, and pimento cheese and pickles for $6.49. Trio of Dips and Chips We were so excited to try these again, and they did not disappoint. Each dip had its own unique flavor, and we loved the crunch and texture of the housemade chips. You seriously can’t go wrong with chips and dips. Read our full review of Yacht Grub Liquid Nitrogen Honey-Mascarpone Cheesecake at Swirled Showcase We’ve been talking about this for a few years, but in 2025, it got a liquid nitrogen upgrade to make it even better! It’s a cheesecake topped with fresh honey, granulated honey, and honey mead-blueberry compote for $5.49. Liquid Nitrogen Honey-Mascarpone Cheesecake This thing is SO good. The honey really comes through, and the cheesecake just melts in your mouth. The blueberry compote tastes fresh, and it subtly complements the cheesecake. Seriously, you need to add this to your “must try” list. Read our full review of Swirled Showcase Tarte Aux Oignons Caramelises at Fleur de Lys We seriously didn’t know a tart with caramelized onions on flaky pastry crust topped with bacon could be this good. It costs $8.25. Tarte Aux Oignons Caramelises This thing was packed with flavor! It wasn’t too dry or too creamy but was just the right texture. The bacon helped balance out the different flavors, and we could taste the spices coming through that helped mellow out the onion. It mixed together perfectly! Read our review of Fleur de Lys Best Plant-Based Dishes of the Fest Grilled Street Corn on the Cob at Beach Grub Yum! This corn is covered in a garlic spread and “cheese” (which is put in quotation marks because this is a plant-based dish) for $5.99. Grilled Street Corn on the Cob We always end up going back to this dish because of how fresh it tastes. They grill it right in front of you, and it is coated in delicious spices. It’s also so buttery that it literally melts in your mouth, and the added char just takes it to the next level. Read our full review of Beach Grub Best of the Fest for Kids Orange-Lemon Smoothie at Citrus Blossom This is a nonalcoholic drink that comes in an Orange Bird sipper for $15.49. Orange-Lemon Smoothie Served in a Souvenir Orange Bird Sipper It feels like drinking an orange sherbert which is kinda the best feeling ever. It’s nostalgic and fun, and we think kids will have a blast drinking this out of the Orange Bird. Read our full review of The Citrus Blossom Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade at Pineapple Promenade Yes, everyone is always talking about this drink, and yes, we are included. It’s made with Minute Maid Premium Lemonade with desert pear and violet syrups, and it costs $5.19. Frozen Dessert Violet Lemonade This lemonade is tart in the best way and super refreshing. It’s such a beautiful color and is popular amongst adults and kids. It’s perfect for those hot Florida days! Read our full review on Pineapple Promenade Best Booth of the Fest Trowel and Trellis Please give a big round of applause to Trowel and Trellis for winning DFB’s Best Booth of the Fest (which is a very hard title to get). The spread We loved the new flatbread, the sticky ribs, which we think about all year round, and the most gorgeous dessert, which totally shows off what the Flower and Garden Festival should be. Everything tasted fresh, was cooked to perfection, and we thought the dishes were great for the price points, too.

Who doesn’t love Brunch?! Come to think of it… who doesn’t love EPCOT? BRUNCHCOT The 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival has officially started, and it has a LOT to offer. We’re discovering once again what happens when BRUNCH meets EPCOT at BRUNCHCOT. Located just steps away from Test Track in World Discovery, BRUNCHCOT is one of the Festival’s Outdoor Kitchens (also known as Food Booths). And we’re bringing you our review right here as we check out EVERY SINGLE BOOTH at this year’s Festival! Menu Over at the BRUNCHCOT, you’ll find a variety of available items. The lovely Avocado Toast is back, along with two new items, the Shrimp and Grits and French Toast! BRUNCHCOT Menu The colorful Fruit Cereal Shake returns once again! Of-age guests who are in search of a little sweet sip can enjoy a Peach Bellini, or if you’re looking for something coffee-inspired, you can try the 3 Daughters Brewing Coffee Blonde Ale. Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself! Eats The always Insta-worthy Avocado Toast is $6.49 and is topped with marinated tomatoes and plant-based cheese crumbles, all served up on toasted ciabatta. This dish is basically a Flower and Garden Festival CLASSIC at this point, and we keep coming back for more. This plant-based dish is like a simple, classic avocado toast you can find at many breakfast restaurants, with all the salty, savory flavors we know and love. We’re excited to see if it brings those same beloved flavors! Avocado Toast This is a delightful festival item yet again — the avocado really comes through, and there is a hefty portion of toppings. You get some brightness from the tomato, and the Boursin balances things out. The bread was a little on the stale side, and this was a smidge challenging to eat because it’s piled so high, but we love it nonetheless. So fresh! Now, let’s try one of the new items this year! Shrimp and Grits for $7.79. This dish is blackened shrimp and cheddar cheese grits with tasso ham gravy, bell peppers, onions, and andouille sausage. Shrimp and Grits The thing we really loved about this dish is that the tails were removed from the shrimp (BIG props for that!), and they had a nice Cajun seasoning. The downside here is that the grits were a little bit congealed, which seems to happen often when EPCOT festivals serve dishes of this texture. They’re pretty delicious in taste, but the texture just wasn’t fresh enough. Shrimp and Grits And the last new item from this booth this year is the French Toast for $5.29. The French toast is served with cinnamon cereal cream and caramel sauce. French Toast This was perhaps our favorite item at BRUNCHCOT because the French Toast was fluffy and cinnamon sugary, while the cereal contrasted the texture with some fun crunch. The mix of textures was excellent alongside the homogenous flavors. Looks delish! Drinks Channel your inner child with the returning Fruit Cereal Shake for $5.29! This shake is made with vanilla soft-serve and fruit-flavored breakfast cereal and made our Best of the Fest Kids Picks last year. Fruit Cereal Shake And you know what? This tastes EXACTLY how you’d expect. It’s vanilla-forward in flavor with a hint of cereal to it. It’s very simple and straightforward, and honestly, the kids would love this. Topped with cereal! Adults can pick up a traditional Peach Bellini for $11.75. You can never really go wrong with a Bellini, but it’s still worth mentioning that this drink is pretty basic and even a bit light on the peach, with an emphasis on sparkling wine. Obviously, there are more unique beverages you can pick up not just at BRUNCHOT, but all over the Festival. Peach Bellini from 2023 If you’re more of a beer drinker, Brunchcot has a special option for you! New to the drink menu this year is the 3 Daughters Brewing Coffee Blonde Ale for $6 for 6 oz. or $9.75 for 12 oz. This beer is deep golden in color with a big coffee aroma. It’s noted to taste like a refreshing cold coffee flavor with moderate carbonation and a dry finish. OVERALL Once again, we were fans of BRUNCHCOT! This booth has a lot to offer with a little something for everyone — flavors to appeal to a wide variety of tastes. We were bigger fans of the Avocado Toast and the French Toast, but the other items available were pretty delicious as well. The spread! That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from! Click here to see FULL reviews of EVERY. SINGLE. BOOTH. at the Flower & Garden Festival!

Connections Cafe and Eatery has joined the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival again this year as a bonus location, serving up several festival-themed items! Connections Eatery The 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival has officially started, and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, unique topiaries to check out, merchandise to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to Connections Cafe and Eatery to give you the FULL scoop! Is it worth a try? Let’s find out! Menu This year, Connections is serving up a returning Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich and an all-new Pizza Bianca. Connections Menu Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself! Eats First up, we grabbed the new Pizza Bianca — which is two slices of freshly baked pizza topped with roasted wild mushrooms, garlic cream, mozzarella, cheese blend, truffle oil, and thyme for $12.29. Pizza Bianca This pizza was alright. It’s certainly better than many of the “puff” pizza options across Walt Disney World, but there were several faults that kept the slice from breaking beyond mid. The pizza itself was floppy, and the slice was very oily, all of which made it tough to eat. In addition, the mushrooms gave the pizza a bit of a rubbery texture. It could just be the slices we got, but if you’re a truffle or mushroom fan, you might still like this! Next up is the returning Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich — a Southern fried chicken sandwich with hot honey, red cabbage slaw, and pickles on a brioche bun that sells for $13.19. Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich This item has been on the Festival menu for a couple of years now. And each time we eat it, we discover that it’s “Disney hot” — which means not hot at all. Drinks A new drink has joined the festival this year — the Garden Glimmer, made with Empress 1908 Gin, DOLE Pineapple Juice, lemon juice, and almond-flavored syrup for $16.50. ©Disney So, should you stop by this booth? OVERALL In the end, Connections’ 2026 Flower & Garden offerings were a bit disappointing, all things considered, the new Pizza Bianca in particular. Pizza Bianca That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from! Click here to see FULL reviews of EVERY. SINGLE. BOOTH. at the Flower & Garden Festival!

I hope you’re hungry, because we’re about to FEAST at the 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. Tangierine Cafe: Flavors of the Medina We’ve been checking out merchandise, watching the entertainment, and strolling around, grabbing snacks from the many, many food booths at this year’s fest. But we’re not done yet! Our next stop is Tangierine Cafe: Flavors of the Medina. Menu At Tangierine Cafe, all the food items are returning from other festivals or past years. As far as the drinks go, there are three new ciders you can order together in the Cider Flight, or separately. 2026 Tangierine Cafe: Flavors of the Medina Menu Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself! Eats We’re starting off with the Moroccan Wrap for $6.29. This is made with tomato-cucumber relish and garlic sauce served on warm Moroccan flatbread, and you can order it with Chermoula Chicken, Moroccan-spiced Lamb, or Plant-based Falafel. We snagged the lamb version! Moroccan Wrap Spiced Lamb This wrap was so fresh! The tomato-cucumber relish was very tomato-forward with a nice tang, and the lamb meat was well-seasoned and tender. This was sooooo filling; it’s the best bang for your buck for festival portion sizes if you ask us. Moroccan Wrap Spiced Lamb The Stone-baked Moroccan Bread with assorted dips for $5.29 is also returning! In the past, we’ve enjoyed this as a fun little mix-and-match situation. Stone-baked Moroccan Bread from Festival of the Holidays 2025 We’ve always been a fan of this bread, although it hasn’t been as bubbly as we’ve seen in the past, but not quite as hollow either. This year, it’s more like a pita, which we really liked. The sauces are hummus, chimichurri, and a harissa-spiced sauce, and they’re all really good, too. But this is greasy, so make sure you have napkins handy. This is so good! And for dessert, we had the Orange Blossom-Saffron Cake for $5.29. In the past, we thought this was a cake we found to be not overly sweet and a pleasant surprise all around. Orange Blossom Saffron Cake from 2024 We loved this! There have been variations of this cake at other festivals, but we liked this one the best of them all. The top isn’t hard, but it is more of a shell, which we liked for the added texture. It’s not super sweet or rich, and the bottom layer is spongy, which makes this cake overall light and airy. Now, on to the drinks! Drinks For beverages, we purchased the Cider Flight for $12.75. It includes the Keel Farms Hibiscus Honeycrisp Hard Cider, the Bold Rock Blueberry Lemon Hard Cider, and the Coppertail Brewing Co. Passion Fruit Basil Hard Cider. All three are new to the festival. Hard Cider Flight The Keel Farms Hibiscus Honeycrisp Hard Cider is described as a blend of sweet Honeycrisp apple and floral hibiscus. We got a lot of apple and hibiscus tastes, which were so refreshing! We’ll easily go back for a full-size version for $9.75. Keel Farms Hibiscus Honeycrisp Hard Cider The Bold Rock Blueberry Lemon Hard Cider is very heavy on the blueberry. The lemon taste was only a slight hint, which we really enjoyed! Again, we would easily get a full-size version of this. Bold Rock Blueberry Lemon Hard Cider The Coppertail Brewing Co. Passion Fruit Basil Hard Cider had a very unique taste. This was so basil-forward that we could barely taste the passion fruit, which we weren’t a big fan of. If you like basil, you’ll absolutely love this! Coppertail Brewing Co. Passion Fruit Basil Hard Cider The other drink on the menu is the Pomegranate Mimosa. It’s sparkling wine and pomegranate juice for $11.75. In the past, we thought this fruity, simple, and refreshing — a nice change from the typical orange mimosa. Pomegranate Mimosa in 2023 So, how did Tangierine Cafe: Flavors of the Medina stack up this year? OVERALL We thought this booth was pretty good, but nothing showstopping. The wrap was good, but it isn’t worth a long line unless you’re a big wrap fan. Same for the Moroccan Bread. The hard cider flight was by far a standout – these flavors were all very unique and refreshing. If you’re a hard cider fan, then this is a must-try! We also strongly recommend the Orange Blossom-Saffron Cake for any orange fans wanting a more unique flavor. If you stop by this booth, be sure to give it a review in the comments below!

If you’ve ever been strolling through a Disney Park and spotted a cool crescent bag on someone’s shoulder, chances are it was probably from BAGGU. The sustainable brand has become a fan-favorite amongst parkgoers, bridging the gap between fashion and function and providing a creative canvas for bows, buttons, bag charms, and other trending adornments. As a dedicated BAGGU shopper myself, I’m thrilled that today, they’re officially launching their brand-new Disney collection – available to shop now on BAGGU.com and in-store with select products available on DisneyStore.com. I was able to get a sneak peek at the collection during the preview event at BAGGU’s LA store in Silverlake, where I personally am a frequent customer. It was surreal seeing the space decked out with Disney decor in celebration of this magical collaboration, and I was so excited to see the full collection on display. There’s something here for everyone, with Mickey & Friends taking over some of BAGGU’s most beloved styles in charming, colorful new prints. Let’s dive into the love Disney Parks fans have for BAGGU and explore some of my favorite items from the collection that I immediately added to my cart. Why are Disney Parks Fans Obsessed with BAGGU? BAGGU launched in 2007 with their classic reusable shopping bag, and the brand now makes everything from tech and travel accessories to any kind of purse or pouch you could possibly dream of. I purchased my first product from BAGGU in 2021 when I was a college student living in New York City and have acquired a variety of different items from the brand over the years. At the time I needed a durable and practical bag that could be schlepped around the city (if you live in NYC, then you know how important this is) but wanted it to still feel like a stylish addition to my closet. Enter the BAGGU Medium Nylon Crescent Bag – which quickly became my everyday bag and has since been by my side for countless city adventures, international travels, and long days at Disney Parks. Now, my extensive collection of BAGGU products includes items like the Medium Nylon Bowler Bag (which is great when I’m styling a fun ‘fit for Disneyland), the Small Nylon Sling Bag (which was hugely helpful while running around the show floor during the last D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event), and the newly released Everyday Cloud Bag from their spring collection (which I’ve been loving as my work bag for the office here in LA). And I’m not the only one who is obsessed with these bags – a visit to Disneyland Resort or Walt Disney World Resort these days often feels like a BAGGU fashion show, with this brand frequently being spotted on guests. Why we love BAGGU for a Disney Parks day: BAGGU bags seem to have an endless amount of storage, especially the Medium Crescent. They can fit all your park day must-haves, with room to spare for any merch or snacks you pick up along the way. The materials truly make for a perfect park bag. Many BAGGU products are crafted from canvas or nylon, which are washable if you accidentally spill your DOLE Whip or get too much churro sugar on it. And the soft, flexible quality is ideal for fitting into the safety pouch on attractions that require one. Different bag types and patterns allow you to choose your own adventure, while showing off your personal style and maximizing your comfort. Maybe you like a colorful crossbody or fanny pack to be hands-free, or you prefer a neutral tote-style bag that can be stuffed to the brim – BAGGU has it all. First Look at the New Disney | BAGGU Products BAGGU is a brand that understands fandom as we’ve seen through their previous collaborations, and this new Disney collection is proof that they know exactly what the park-going people want! I got an up-close look at the products before the store opened for shoppers this morning and was blown away by the variety of styles and vibrant colors across the collection. I’m always trying to achieve that “cool girl” Disney aesthetic when heading to the parks (or the office), and these items are going to be the most amazing accessory and accent to any outfit. The space was perfectly organized, with pops of Disney magic throughout BAGGU’s standard assortment of products. Signage and door decals featuring a smiling Mickey & Friends promoted the new collection, and the store was fully stocked with bags galore! Adorable accessories like the Mickey Mouse keychains and Puffy Picnic Blankets were displayed alongside pouches, purses, and packing cubes. Immediately I could tell that the Embroidered Mickey Mouse Club Bowler Bag and Medium Nylon Crescent Bag were going to be fan-favorites – this color scheme of black, white, and red is one I often find myself gravitating towards, and just screams classic Mickey Mouse. But the more whimsical botanical patterns like the Storybook Floral and Storybook Scene are a great choice for those who like a more muted, subtle vibe – with a touch of fairytale flair. You of course can’t forget familiar faces, with the Mickey & Friends design being another favorite of mine along with patterns dedicated specifically to Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Pluto. What I’m Buying from the Disney | BAGGU Collab While I easily could have taken the entire collection home with me after perusing the store, I narrowed my personal selections down to four items that felt like the most unique and necessary additions to my collection of BAGGU products. Here’s what I’ll be buying! Standard BAGGU If you’re just discovering the BAGGU brand, their most enduring product is a great place to start. These reusable bags fold up into a compact pouch, great for keeping in your car or whatever bigger bag you’re carrying to ensure you never run out of storage for all the shopping you’re doing. I always have one with me and am excited to add these new designs to my own assortment. Trying to decide between the patterns felt like an impossible choice, but a bit of pixie dust encouraged me to pick the Minnie Mouse and Mickey & Friends prints – I just love the classic character artwork and bright coloring. Puffy Laptop Case I recently purchased the new Everyday Cloud Bag for the office, and one of my favorite features is the interior laptop pocket. But if you’re like me and want to give your devices a bit of additional padding and protection, BAGGU’s puffy laptop cases are perfect. The sleeves are quilted and stuffed with a closure to keep your tech extra secure – nothing can stop you now as you set off for your next workday or travel adventure. You can’t go wrong with the Mickey Mouse pattern, which immediately caught my eye thanks to the pretty periwinkle color (my favorite)! Mickey Mouse Bag Charm When BAGGU teased this collaboration, the simple shadow of this Mickey Mouse Bag Charm immediately went viral on social media. It is the best example of what BAGGU stands for, achieving that balance of functional and fashionable. Clip it onto the zipper of any bag, or fasten it onto the charm loops found on the Bowler Bags, made specifically for keychains! And keep your small essentials like headphones, gum, or hand sanitizer close with the zippered pouch. This customizable component is what makes BAGGU bags so beloved by Disney Parks fans, who have been showing a pop of personality with pins and patches for as long as I can remember. Puffy Picnic Blanket I shockingly do not own a Puffy Picnic Blanket from BAGGU, and now finally feels like the time to add one to my collection. This nylon blanket is fully machine washable with a soft, padded material to help you chill out as the weather warms up. And the built-in handle makes it easy to carry with you as you search for that sweet spot to sit back and relax. The serene and sunny Storybook Floral pattern showcasing Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse amongst the flowers is the cutest addition to my next beach day or park picnic here in Southern California. Whether you’re rope dropping your favorite attraction, searching for the perfect seasonal snack, or staying late for the fireworks, the new Disney | BAGGU collection is made for the magic of a Disney Parks day. These pieces blend the playful spirit of Mickey & Friends with the signature silhouettes BAGGU fans know and love – making this collaboration feel like the perfect balance of classic nostalgia and modern trends. The Disney | BAGGU collection is available now on BAGGU.com and in BAGGU stores, with some items also available exclusively on DisneyStore.com. We can’t wait to see how you shop and style these pieces!

Welcome to one of our favorite yearly traditions: the 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival! Farmers Feast We love trying out all of the Outdoor Kitchens (aka food booths) featured during this EPCOT festival. Be sure to swing by while you admire the iconic topiaries and live entertainment around the park during the festival. Come along as we taste our way through EPCOT Farmers Feast and find out whether this longtime fan-favorite booth holds its reputation again this year! Menu Over at EPCOT’s Farmers Feast, you’ll find a variety of available items. This is a special booth that has time-released menu items! Yep, depending on when you visit, you can experience a whole new set of bites and nibbles! Since we’re here for the first day of the festival, we’ll be able to try the options from the Early Bloom Menu! Farmers Feast Menu The first menu is called the Early Bloom Menu, and it will be available from March 4th through April 4th. We’re digging in! Don’t worry, we will be back for the Springtime Menu as well on April 5th. Eats First up, we grabbed the Grilled Asparagus with pancetta bacon, spring peas, frisée lettuce, truffle sherry vinaigrette, and soft-poached egg for $5.49. This is a returning item from last year, and we loved everything that came with this asparagus. While the asparagus wasn’t mind-blowing, all the elements around it brought the most flavor and let it be the star. Let’s see how it holds up this year. Grilled Asparagus The pancetta bacon was cooked perfectly with a really satisfying crunch. The asparagus was fresh, and the acidity of the truffle-sherry vinaigrette added a really nice flavor. We thought that for $5.49, this was definitely worth the money. You get a decently large portion for this, which can’t be said about every dish around EPCOT. Up next, we grabbed Scallop with spring pea risotto, lemon-beurre blanc, and gremolata for $8.19. This is slightly different from last year’s dish, which featured BEN’S ORIGINAL INTERNATIONAL GRAINS Arborio Rice. Last year, while the risotto wasn’t anything to write home about, the scallops themselves were amazing. They were perfectly buttery and just fell apart in your mouth. This year… Scallop with spring pea risotto, lemon-beurre blanc, and gremolata We thought it was a little steep for $8, but once again, the scallops tasted really fresh. The lemon beurre on top was so melty (in a good way), and it elevated the whole dish. It just added a really creamy, smooth texture. Again, the acidity in this dish added a lot and really brought out all the flavors. We felt like you couldn’t go wrong with this since we loved the scallops last year, and we were right. This was good once again! Finally, we tried the Blueberry Crumble Cake with blueberry-lemon zest soft-serve and blueberry compote for $4.79. This is a returning dessert from last year, as well, in which we wished it were a little bit more tart. It was very sweet but had that tart tang at the end. Blueberry Crumble Cake The soft serve was very melty, but it was served in a bowl, which helped avoid a big mess. The lemon combined with the blueberry is just a match made in heaven. It added such depth to this cheesecake. Our only negative is that it was pretty mushy, and we wish there was a bit more crunch to the crumble on top. The blueberry compote was really fresh tasting, though, and the whole thing lacked any artificial flavor. Drinks In terms of drinks on this menu, which will last from March 4th through May 10th, we started with the returning Hibiscus Lemonade Cocktail, which is an Islamorada Hibiscus Gin and Simply Lemonade for $12. Last year, we loved that it was light and refreshing with a strong floral flavor. Hibiscus Lemonade Cocktail in 2025 Another returning beverage is the Frozen Lemon Tea with Bärenjäger Honey & Bourbon for $12. When we tried this in 2024, it reminded us of a bourbon slushy in the BEST way! Frozen Lemon Tea Cocktail Next, we tried B Nektar Punk Lemonade for $12.50. This is a new raspberry lemonade hard cider this year. We weren’t the biggest fans of this, but it could be an acquired taste thing. It was a little more bitter and burnt than we like, so it was a little harder to drink and enjoy. We also couldn’t really taste any raspberry or lemonade. B Nektar Punk Lemonade So, should you stop by this booth? OVERALL Overall, this is a good booth, but not one you need to prioritize over the others. The new drink is probably skippable, but in terms of everything that’s come back, the dishes were just as good as we remember. The food here is something that you have to at least try once, so make sure you eventually make your way over there! Here’s everything we got!

Bonjour from France (in EPCOT that is)! Fleur de Lys The 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival has officially started, and you know we love to do all there is to offer here. We’re trying all of the food booths with tasty items, admiring the unique topiaries, and checking out all of the exclusive merchandise to grab. There are even concerts to watch. I know that sounds like a lot, but DFB has got you covered! We’re heading to Fleur de Lys in the France pavilion to check it out. Menu Over at the Fleur de Lys, you’ll find a variety of available items that all sound delicious. We have two returning menu items and two new items this year, as well as a range of drinks. Our favorites, the Croissant au Fromage de Chèvre and Beignet Caramélisé, are both returning! The menu Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself! Eats First up, we grabbed the new Canard Confit, Sauce Romarin et Champignons, Gâteau de Polenta aux Herbes, which is pulled duck confit with rosemary-mushroom sauce and herbed polenta corn cake for $9.95. Canard Confit This kinda reminded us of Thanksgiving dinner with the stuffing and the turkey. We thought the flavors were a little off balance since the corncake felt very dry and bland, but the gravy was almost too rich, so there was too much going on. We’re not sure if we had an underseasoned batch or if this is the consistent flavor, but it was neat to be able to try duck at a theme park. Dig in! Next, we tried the Tarte Aux Oignons Caramelises for $8.25. This dish features caramelized onions on a flaky pastry crust topped with bacon. Tarte Aux Oignons Caramelises This was one of our favorite dishes of the day! It was super flaky and rich but not overly dry or creamy. It was packed with flavor, and the bacon’s saltiness really helped balance the other flavors out. There were also spices we could taste that helped mellow the onion flavor, and they mixed together so well. A win in our books! Inside You can also order the Croissant au Fromage de Chèvre for $8.25. This is a returning favorite from 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025— and we’re happy to see it back! is made with Herbes et Ail Rôtie: Croissant with goat cheese, herbs, and roasted garlic. When we’ve had this snack in years past, we found that it had a lovely, crispy, buttery outside, with a soft inside filled with goat cheese that worked so well with the light herbs and garlic. Croissant au Fromage de Chèvre, Herbes et Ail Rôtie And finally, we’re ending this booth with one of our returning FAVORITES! Yep, we’re getting the Beignet Caramélisé for $7.95. This is a caramelized beignet filled with vanilla cream and glazed with salted caramel. Beignet Caramélisé This has been on the menu for a little while, and we understand why, as we love it every year! We love the hard, caramelized top that cracks as you bite into the beignet. The beignet portion of the treat is essentially a cream filled donut. The cream helps balance the sweetness of the beignet, and it has a fun, gooey texture on the inside, too. Inside filling Drinks In terms of drinks on this menu, you can get the La Vie en Rose Frozen Slush for $14.75. This drink is made with Vodka, Grey Goose L’Orange Vodka, St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur, and white and red cranberry juices. Last year, we found this drink to be light and refreshing, with a good amount of rose flavor. La Vie en Rose Frozen Slush This year, we thought it was a little light on the rose flavor. It melted very fast, and our Florida drinks really need to be able to withstand the heat, so be prepared to drink it fast. Since we couldn’t taste much of it, we think the price was a little much, but we have enjoyed the drink in years past, and the other drinks they have throughout the year. We do love the color though You can also find Kronenbourg Blanc 1664 here for $6.95 or 6 oz. or $9.95 for 12 oz. There is a glass of André Brunel Côtes du Rhône Blend for $8.95, or grab a glass of Guillaume Touton, Brut de Peche for $8.75. OVERALL France usually has some good eats, and we think this year is the same! They have fun savory options like the caramelized onion tart and some great sweet options like the caramelized beignet, too. There are also four different drink options to try. This booth usually has a long line for every festival, and we can see why! That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from! Click here to see FULL reviews of EVERY. SINGLE.

Spring has most certainly SPRUNG in Disney World with the kickoff of the 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival! Ceviche And, as part of EPCOT’s lovely springtime tradition, it’s time to explore Caribbean flavors at La Isla Fresca, one of the Festival’s Outdoor Kitchens (also known as Food Booths). So as we’re stopping by each and every Outdoor Kitchen to bring you our reviews, we hope you’ll join us at La Isla Fresca to check out what’s back, what’s new, and what should make its way onto YOUR must-eat list at the Flower and Garden Festival! Menu La Isla Fresca brings the Jamaican Jerk Chicken and Coconut-Chocolate Flan Bizcocho back to the Festival year. These dishes are joined by an updated version of the Ceviche. 2026 La Isla Fresca Menu The returning Citrus Slushy can be found here in both a non-alcoholic and alcoholic version. Florida Orange Groves Winery, Hurricane Class 5 Tropical Sangria, and the new Bold Rock Paradise Orchard Hard Cider are also up for grabs. Grab a fork, and let’s dig in! Eats One of the items you can get here is the returning Jamaican Jerk Chicken, plated with pigeon pea rice, roasted sweet plantains, and cinnamon butter. It costs $6.29. This was a hit with us last year, although we thought the pigeon pea rice was a little basic, but it made the dish heartier. The roasted sweet plantains tasted a bit off, but the chicken itself was tender and covered in spices. Yes, this one is spicy, so be warned. Jamaican Jerk Chicken with Pigeon Pea Rice, Roasted Sweet Plantains, and Cinnamon Butter This year, La Isla Fresca is serving up a different version of Ceviche from last year’s twist (which also featured scallops) for $7.49. It’s currently more of a traditional shrimp dish with mango, avocado, cucumber, lime, cilantro, tomato, and jalapeño. It’s also served with plantain chips. Well, we love ceviche, and this really didn’t work for us. The main flavor is shrimp and cucumber, which is light and refreshing, but we didn’t get any of the mango or avocado flavors. Overall, though, we just wanted more flavor from this. The plantation chips were nice and crispy, but again, this needs something more. Ceviche The Coconut-Chocolate Flan Bizcocho, which is chocolate cake, coconut custard, and passion fruit caramel, is back this year for $5.29. The chocolate cake is very dense because it’s soaked with the other ingredients. There’s a strong coconut flavor, but you can’t really taste the passion fruit caramel with everything else going on with this. It’s presented with a chocolate disc on top with something like freeze-dried strawberry dust on it. Overall, we thought this tasted like an Almond Joy, and we’re not mad about it. Coconut-Chocolate Flan Bizcocho Those participating in the Garden Graze will want to know that this is one of the options for the plant-based food crawl! Drinks Drink up, friends! The Citrus Slushy is back, combining lemonade, grapefruit, and simple syrup in a frozen slushy form. The non-alcoholic version of this beverage is $4.99, and it’s also available to order with Don Q Límon Rum for $12.25. It’s sweet, tart, and refreshing all at the same time; just a really enjoyable hit-the-spot sip for both kids and adults. (And we can easily see how it could be even better with the rum!) Citrus Slushy Wine fans may try the Florida Orange Groves Winery Hurricane Class 5 Tropical Sangria for $11.50. This is so nice, light, and sippable. It’s VERY sweet, but we loved it. If you’re looking for a sweet drink that tastes like a vacation, this is it. Florida Orange Groves Winery Hurricane Class 5 Tropical Sangria And Bold Rock Paradise Orchard Hard Cider is available for $6.00 for a 6-ounce pour and $9.75 for a 12-ounce pour. This cider has similar notes. It’s sweet, bubbly, and light. You do get the orange flavors coming through, though, which we appreciated. Bold Rock Paradise Orchard Hard Cider Would we go out of our way for these sangrias? Probably not? But if you find yourself near this food booth and want something refreshing, they’re worth it. OVERALL Overall, we don’t think we would cross World Showcase JUST to visit this booth, but if we found ourselves nearby, we might stop for a drink and the flan. The jerk chicken is also a solid choice, although it might be too spicy for some folks. La Isla Fresca Full Spread Thanks so much for joining us at the La Isla Fresca Outdoor Kitchen!

We have been eating our way around the first day of the 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, and we’re inviting you to JOIN US! Northern Bloom Booth The festival has officially kicked off with new merchandise, exclusive entertainment, beautiful topiaries, stunning garden displays, and of course, a plethora of delicious food to eat. We’ve been trying many of the outdoor kitchens (AKA food booths) at this year’s fest, and now we’re heading to Northern Bloom. Is it worth your time during your visit? We’ll find out together! Menu At the Northern Bloom booth, you’ll find a nice selection of Canadian-inspired eats. The three food items are things we’ve tried before, but there are some new beverages to sample. 2026 Northern Bloom Menu Both the Collective Arts Brewing Garden Shed Lager and the Collective Arts Brewing Guava Gose are new. Now that we’ve seen what they have to offer, let’s dive into the menu itself! Eats We snagged the Beef Tenderloin Tips with mushroom bordelaise, whipped potatoes, and garden vegetables for $7.79. They’re also returning, and last year, we found them to be nice and tender with some strong, tangy flavors. Beef Tenderloin Tips The Beef Tenderloin Tips are, once again, a Best of the Fest contender. The steak was a good portion size, the gravy (while maybe a tinge salty) mixed well with everything, the carrots were soft, and the mashed potatoes were creamy, all of which combined into a perfectly balanced offering. For dessert, we ordered the returning Chocolate-Maple Whiskey Cake for $4.79. It’s a rich chocolate cake with maple and whisky sauce, and when we had it last year, it was ooey, gooey, and oh-so-rich. Chocolate-Maple Whiskey Cake This dessert was DELICIOUS. The lava cake-style cake was nice and moist, and the maple caramel and whiskey sauces gave the cake a gooey quality that we really enjoyed. So gooooooey Now, on to the drinks! Drinks In terms of drinks, we started with the Beer Flight for $12.75. It includes the new Collective Arts Brewing Garden Shed Lager, the new Collective Arts Brewing Guava Gose, and the returning Collective Arts Brewing Grapefruit Lime Sour. Northern Bloom Beer Flight In the past, the Grapefruit Lime Sour tasted more like a hard cider to us, and this year it had a VERY strong lime flavor, to the point where it was more like a tart lime juice than grapefruit. Very tart and bitter, still not super strong either. Not at all sweet Collective Arts Brewing Grapefruit Lime Sour The Collective Arts Brewing Garden Shed Lager was salty and tart with a slight citrus flavor. It was more sour than sweet, though still not super strong. Collective Arts Brewing Garden Shed Lager And the Collective Arts Brewing Guava Gose was probably our personal favorite. It was more cider-like compared to the saltiness of the other beers. It was also slightly stronger than the others, but that was balanced by the guava flavor. Overall, the fruitiness gave it a spring vibe very in line with the festival’s theme. Collective Arts Brewing Guava Gose You can also order the Florida Orange Groves Winery Sparkling Blackberry Wine for $12. It’s returning, and in past years, we thought it was nice and sweet, not super heavy on the alcohol flavor, and very palatable. Florida Orange Groves Sparkling Blackberry Wine from 2024 How did Northern Bloom perform overall? Let’s talk about it! OVERALL Northern’s Bloom’s 1-2 punch of the Beef Tenderloin Tips and the Chocolate-Maple Whiskey Cake – both Best of the Fest contenders – made it one of our favorite booths this year, and a can’t-miss if you’re heading to the 2026 Flower & Garden Festival.

We’re in Disney World every single day, and that means we’ve learned what items are VERY helpful to have on your trip, as well as what items may be best to leave at home. We’re suckers for Minnie Ears! It’s part of our job to test out these “essentials” so we can tell you if they’re really worth your time and money, or if you’ll regret having them with you. Recently, we tried out THREE new items in the park that, in our opinion, will absolutely make your trip easier — be sure to snag them before you leave on your next vacation! DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Minnie Ears That Don’t Break The Bank ODOCARE Handmade Mouse Ears Headband Here’s the thing — we love Minnie ears as much as the next person, but paying an arm and a leg for each pair, especially if you’re buying a pair for everyone in your family, gets expensive VERY fast. Not to mention that sometimes those ears aren’t the most comfortable. They press against your head and give you a headache after just wearing them for a few hours, but the ODOCARE Handmade Mouse Ears Headband? That’s not the case! These are genuinely comfortable without being too loose, and many people rave that they can wear them all day with no discomfort. Affordable and great quality? Yes, please! Grab it here! Keep All Your Pins Safe! PinFolio Go Pin Display Bag There’s nothing worse than bringing your pins into the park on your bag, only to stress all day about them falling off. No matter how strong the backs are, sometimes it’s just not worth the stress! If you want to carry them around to be able to pin trade without fear, we recommend the PinFolio Go Pin Display Bag. This is small enough to fit into your larger bag, has a protective divider to avoid scratching, and has a pocket on the back to keep additional pins in, if needed. Grab it here! Keep Your Kiddos Cool J.L. Childress Disney Baby Mickey Mouse Stroller Fan Got some little ones that will be in a stroller for the majority of the day, and want to make sure they stay cool? Look no further than the J.L. Childress Disney Baby Mickey Mouse Stroller Fan! This easily attaches to your stroller, can be maneuvered easily, and has three different speeds. In our experience, it held its charge all day, we loved the theming, and overall, we were super happy with it. Grab it here! We’ll continue to bring you all the latest and greatest Disney news to help you plan your trip, so stay tuned to DFB! View the full article

Welcome to the 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, where we’re eating our weight in small plates! Primavera Kitchen Booth Okay, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it feels like the truth on the first day of any EPCOT festival. We’re heading around the park, snacking and drinking at all the food booths, checking out the new festival merchandise, and watching the exclusive entertainment. But the next stop on our list? Primavera Kitchen in the Italy Pavilion. Menu What’s on the menu here? Well, we’ve got a nice treat, with not one, not two, but THREE new food items in 2026. We can’t wait to try them out! Primavera Kitchen Menu In terms of beverages, many like the Prosecco and Moscato are returning; however, there are two new things to drink this year — Sauvignon Blanc and the Elderflower Sparkling Cocktail. Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself! Eats We’re starting out with the Insalata di Pasta for $7.50. It’s made with penne, apple, raisins, scallions, almonds, honey, and lemon dressing, all served chilled, and it’s new on the menu. Insalata di Pasta This is essentially a pasta salad, and we were surprised by it. The salad was lightly dressed, and you got a great crunch from the slivered almonds. The dish itself was light and tasty, and it surprised us considering it came from the Italy kitchen, which isn’t always our favorite at the festivals. We would 100% order this again! Up next is the Arancini, a risotto with beef ragoût, peas, parmesan, and tomato sauce for $7.75. Arancini These were, in a word, mushy. There was no seasoning, and it had a little bit of an unpleasant texture. We will say, they were fried fine, but the texture just wasn’t there for us. The cheese and sauce didn’t add much flavor. It wasn’t terrible; we just think the festival has better offerings. For dessert, we snagged the new Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake for $5.50. It’s a cheesecake with ricotta cheese, raspberries, and sweet whipped cream. Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake This cheesecake could be the booth’s redemption, because it was really good. The cheesecake was as light as air and full of raspberry. There was just enough cream cheese to make it tart, and the crust was a great crunch and hardness. We would definitely get this again, and we can confidently say this was our favorite thing from the booth this year. Now, on to the drinks! Drinks Several of the drinks on the menu here have been available at the Italy booth for past festivals throughout the year. The Peroni Pilsner is available in a 6-oz pour for $6.50 or a 12-oz pour for $12.00. The booth also offers a serving of Prosecco or Moscato for $12 each. Peroni Nastro Azzurro Pilsner from 2019 New to the menu this year is Sauvignon Blanc for $11, but returning, they have the Italian Red Sangria for $12. In the past, this beverage has reminded us of an alcoholic fruit punch in flavor — not super memorable. Italian Sangria from Food & Wine in 2023 The Italian-inspired Margarita with tequila and Fabrizia Blood Orange Liqueur is $13 and remains at the booth after the Festival of the Arts. When we tried this a few weeks ago, we couldn’t really taste the blood orange, and we felt like it was lacking that sharp, punchy flavor. Italian-inspired Margarita at Festival of the Arts in 2026 But new on the beverage lineup is the Elderflower Sparkling Cocktail. It’s made with mint-infused elderflower liqueur, prosecco, and blood orange soda for $16.00. We thought the cocktail was a pleasant surprise. It’s a perfect spring cocktail, and the color is gorgeous. It has enough sparkling wine in it to make it very effervescent. There isn’t an overly floral after note, which we appreciated. We would 100% get this again; in fact, it would be what we go back to the Italy booth for. Elderflower Sparkling Cocktail We also tried the Italian-inspired Margarita for $13.00. This was a refreshing cocktail. We’re not sure we’d call it a margarita; it was more of a frozen cocktail. It just doesn’t have any hints of what you’d normally get from a margarita. It was very light and very refreshing, and we’d grab this again. Italian-inspired Margarita How did the booth stack up overall? OVERALL Overall, this was a fine booth. It’s not our favorite, but it definitely has a couple of reasons why you should check it out. There are a few things here that we will be coming back for again, and probably again after that. Don’t feel like you need to run here, but don’t just pass by it either! Insalata di Pasta We’ll be eating a LOT more food around EPCOT, so follow us on social media to see all the updates!

We seriously always look forward to visiting the Jardin de Fiestas Outdoor Kitchen at the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival. Flan de la Abeula Why? Well, for two reasons. First, Jardin de Fiestas has a tradition of serving up menus of entirely new eats and drinks each year. And second, this booth is nearly always a contender (and often a winner) for our Best of the Fest list! So, as we make our way around EPCOT to review every single Flower and Garden Festival Food Booth for you, we hope you’ll join us in the Mexico Pavilion to see if Jardin de Fiestas lives up to its great reputation once again!

Refreshment Outpost is everyone’s favorite halfway spot in World Showcase where you can stop for a drink or a unique bite to eat. And once again, it’s serving up some fun festival bites and sips for the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival. Refreshment Outpost The 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival has officially started, and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, unique topiaries to check out, merchandise to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you; we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to Refreshment Outpost to give you the FULL scoop! Is it worth a try? Let’s find out! Menu This year’s menu at Refreshment Outpost includes a new food item, a Garden Graze item (the Festival’s food crawl!), and some refreshing soft serve. On the drink side, you’ll find three new beers and a returning martini. Refreshment Outpost 2026 Menu Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself! Eats First up, we grabbed the new Nigerian Beef Pie with papaya syrup for $6.79. Nigerian Beef Pie with papaya syrup While we enjoyed this treat, it wasn’t really something we would write home about. The meat was on the drier side, so that it was noticeable, but it wasn’t so dry that it was unbearable. We also liked the papaya syrup, which added a bit of sweetness to the beef, which was a fun, sweet, and savory moment. We loved the syrup on top If you’re doing the Garden Graze food crawl at this year’s Festival, you can pick up the Seasonal Fruit Parfait with sweet chili sauce and DOLE Whip Mango here! The parfait is priced at $6.99. Seasonal Fruit Parfait Last year, we found this parfait to be a good enough item. The mango DOLE Whip gives an intense, concentrated mango flavor that complements the Tajin, making for a really pleasant and balanced flavor. We could see the Mango DOLE Whip being too sweet for some, but we really enjoyed it, and we appreciated that the Cast Member asked us if we wanted the additional seasoning on top, so if you’re worried about the spice, you might be able to speak to the Cast Member. It’s such a refreshment If you’re just looking for a soft serve cone, you’ll find those here, too. This year’s flavors are Tangerine and the plant-based DOLE Whip Mango, each for $6.29. Both would be refreshing treats on a warm springtime day! The soft serve tasted just like an Orange Julius! It wasn’t too sweet or overpowering and was perfectly refreshing on a hot Florida day. The cone tasted fresh and not stale as well. DOLE Whip Tangerine We couldn’t resist a full cone of the DOLE Whip either! Again, we think it might be too sweet for some, but we had a blast with the flavor, and it was also in the fresh cone. If you’re someone who has to try every DOLE Whip, this is one you need to add to your list. DOLE Whip Mango The final food item (that’s kind of a drink too) is the non-boozy Ice Cream Float made with Tangerine soft-serve and Barq’s Red Creme Soda for $6.79. Ice Cream Float: Tangerine soft-serve and Barq’s Red Creme Soda When we’ve ordered this at previous festivals, we found it to be a refreshing treat. Drinks The returning drink for 2026 is the Boyd & Blair Lavender Martini for $12.50. This used to be available at Refreshment Port, but it moved to the Outpost recently. Boyd & Blair Lavender Martini This drink is made with Boyd & Blair Potato Vodka with lavender and lemon, and has been around for a few years. New to the Refreshment Outpost this year are several beers and ciders, which you can grab for $12.50 each: Carib Brewery Honeysuckle Hopped Wheat Ale Keel Farms Spicy Watermelon Hard Cider Ȯlōgy Brewing Co. Passion Fruit Dragon Slushhhhh OVERALL Going for a sweet treat? This is going to be your stop! We loved all the soft serve and DOLE Whip options, and you could even go savory with the Beef Pie. DOLE Whip lovers will want to make sure they stop here, and when you’re heading through the World Showcase and need to stop for some shade and a Coke, this is a great place to do it. Let’s eat!

The 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival has officially started, and there is a LOT to do this year! Trowel & Trellis And that includes a visit to the Trowel & Trellis booth, one of the Festival’s Outdoor Kitchen Food Booths. The Food Booths join the Garden Rocks Concert Series, the Garden Graze food crawl, the gorgeous Disney topiaries, and more as part of this year’s festival. And right now, we’re checking out Trowel & Trellis so we can bring you our complete review… just like we’re doing with every single food booth at the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival! Menu Over at the Trowel & Trellis booth, you’ll find a variety of available items. We are getting two new food items here: the Miso Cola-glazed Sticky Pork Ribs and the Garden Vegetable Flatbread. But, don’t worry, the adorable Chocolate Mousse Terrarium is returning! For drinks, we have the returning Botanical Slush and a new drink, the Keel Farms Garden Bloom Hard Cider. Trowel & Trellis Menu Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself! Eats First up, we grabbed the Miso Cola-glazed Sticky Pork Ribs for $7.29. These pork ribs are topped with spicy pickled peppers and peanuts. You might remember last year’s Soy-glazed Pork Sticky Ribs, but these are different with the Mizo Cola-glaze. When we tried it, we thought they had a wonderful mix of sweet and savory. Miso Cola-Glazed Sticky Pork Ribs They’re fairly tender, and they fall off the bone nicely. The peanuts added a nice crunch, and the peppers were surprisingly hot. These were a very popular item when we were at the booth — people kept coming up to order them! Ribs Up next, we tried the new Garden Vegetable Flatbread featuring Boursin Crumbles Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese, topped with roasted vegetables and arugula salad. You can get this for $5.99. We thought this was an excellent portion for the price. Garden Vegetable Flatbread It’s an absolutely huge flatbread covered in delicious roast veggies and lots and lots of tomatoes. The Boursin is creamy and complements the veggies well, and there’s a good herbaceous flavor to the whole dish. This was honestly our favorite lunch at the festival! Suddenly, we’ve forgotten everything we ate before this flatbread…it’s all that matters now. Flatbread To finish it off for dessert, there is the Chocolate Mousse Terrarium with matcha crumb and chocolate soil for $5.49. When we tried this last year, it reminded us of a cookies-and-cream kind of dessert. Maybe it’s not a “must get,” but the presentation is cute. Chocolate Mousse Terrarium This year, the chocolate was incredibly rich, and the texture was thick and pudding-like in consistency. The matcha crumbles add that crumbly texture without much matcha flavor. Really, this is a great dessert for the chocolate lovers. Pretty! Now, on to the beverages. Drinks For drinks on this menu, we got the Botanical Slush, featuring Twinings Mango & Pineapple Herbal Tea with Minute Maid Passion Fruit Orange Guava Juice, Simply Fruit Punch, and simple syrup, for $4.79. You can also get this alcoholic with Cruzan Mango Rum for $11.75. This is a returning item from last year, but with a new name. It was known as the Tropical Punch, and last year, we thought this was light and super fruity. This year we found ourselves wishing that the POG flavor was a little more evident. It reminded us a bit of the vague “tropical” juices you could buy in a carton at the store — we might prefer this one as the alcoholic version. Botanical Slush If you’re a hard cider fan, you can get the new Keel Farms Garden Bloom Hard Cider for $6 for 6 oz or $9.75 for a 12-oz pour. OVERALL Trowel & Trellis came out with a STRONG showing at this year’s festival! The booth had some heavy-hitters in the food category, and we’d consider it one of the top spots. We’ll definitely be back for that flatbread again, you guys. The spread We’ll keep you in the loop as we hit the other booths, but this one is a WINNER. Click here to see FULL reviews of EVERY.
