The 2020 Epcot Festival of the Arts is packing SO MUCH creativity into one festival! Festival of the Arts Sign And, although we’ve taken you with us to check out ALL the booths and FOOD in the park, we had to tell ya about another drink that is perfect for some sipping and strolling around the World Showcase. The Frozen Cider and Black has been swirled up at the Rose & Crown Beer Stand in the UK Pavilion! Rose & Crown Beer Stand Sign The frozen drink is mixed up with Strongbow Cider and Black Currant (and we’re in LOVE). Frozen Cider and Black While the cider has more of a sweet flavor, the black currant adds a hint of tartness that balances the drink. If a slush can be crisp, we have to say that the Frozen Cider and Black is on point. Plus, it’s just super pretty, okay?? Frozen Cider and Black While you can get this drink on the reg as a non-frozen cider, we think that the slush version is even better. You can get your own Frozen Cider and Black for $9.50 as you stroll around the Festival of the Arts! And if you’re looking for other stunning drinks at the Festival of the Arts, you may wanna check out the NEW Rainboba and the Sea Butterfly. What’s your favorite drink at Rose & Crown?

Today is National Popcorn Day in the United States, and since popcorn is one of my absolute FAVORITE snacks, this is a very special holiday for me. Each year, our amazing cast members pop up thousands of pounds of light, fluffy, buttery popcorn, proudly provided by PopSecret, both here in the US and around the world. When you visit a Disney park, you can find a popcorn stand around nearly every corner! To me, nothing makes for a more perfect memory (and Instagrammable moment!) than snacking on some popcorn in front of an iconic Disney castle like Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland Resorts, Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland and Disneyland Paris Resorts, Enchanted Storybook Castle at Shanghai Disney Resort, and once its magical transformation is complete, the brand new Castle of Magical Dreams at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. And did you know that each of these resorts has their own set of unique popcorn flavors? That’s right! If you travel to our parks and resorts across the globe, you’ll find tons of different types of popcorn in almost every park. At Walt Disney World Resort, you can find a variety of flavors at Epcot. Head on over the Future World Popcorn Cart near Journey Into Imagination with Figment to grab your choice of cheddar cheese, buffalo bleu cheese, or sour cream and chive popcorn or mosey on over to the popcorn stand at the Canada pavilion to try some sweet maple popcorn! The Karamell Kuche at the Germany pavilion also offers a sweet option, popcorn coated in yummy Werther’s caramel. Right now, you can also check out the Epcot International Festival of the Arts, where you’ll find a fun popcorn pairing flight at Refreshment Outpost. This unique offering features three different types of popcorn each paired with a special beer: Barrel of Monks Brewery Endless Enigma Golden Pale Ale with Bacon Barbecue Popcorn, Collective Arts Brewing Life in the Clouds Hazy IPA with Jalapeño Ranch Popcorn, and M.I.A. Beer Company Malt Bach Brown Ale with Buffalo Bleu Cheese Popcorn. (For more info on the festival, check out my recent Foodie Guide!) If you’re traveling to the Black Spire Outpost at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts, you won’t want to miss the Outpost Popcorn Mix at Kat Saka’s Kettle featuring a colorful blend of sweet and spicy flavors. It’s even served up in a cute little droid bucket! Drive on over to Radiator Springs at Disney California Adventure park to grab some “i-cone-ic” flavors of popcorn at the Cozy Cone Motel! Here you’ll find multiple flavors of popcorn including Dill Pickle, Buffalo Ranch, White Cheddar, Sriracha, Pizza, and Garlic Parmesan. You can even order it in a Lightning McQueen popcorn bucket, KA-CHOW! Even though National Popcorn Day is a United States holiday, our international parks and resorts have their own incredible offerings that I just have to share! At Tokyo Disneyland Resort, you can find flavors like caramel, curry, honey, black pepper, strawberry, and more at various popcorn wagons throughout the resort. At Shanghai Disneyland, we recently introduced strawberry, steak, and crayfish flavors throughout the different lands. Hong Kong Disneyland Resort also has its own unique set of flavors including honey mustard and Italian salt and pepper. And finally, at Disneyland Paris, you can find sweet and savory popcorn at both Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park. And at all of our parks and resorts around the world and even Disney Cruise Line and Aulani – A Disney Resort & Spa, you’ll find a variety of the popular novelty popcorn buckets our guests love so much! These premium popcorn buckets come in all shapes and sizes from Mickey balloon buckets to character buckets, holiday containers, and even Cinderella’s Royal Carriage. These novelty change throughout the year, and make for the perfect souvenir to take home with you! You never know what you might find when visiting the parks. So, from all of us at Disney Parks, we hope you have a POPPIN’ National Popcorn Day! And remember, whether you’re taking in a nighttime spectacular with fireworks, watching a movie in your Disney resort hotel room, or simply sneaking in a snack in between attractions, there’s no better place to get your POP on than with Disney. Happy snacking! View the full article

Hi, DFB friends! While chillin’ in the beautiful Disney’s Old Key West Resort we spotted a new-to-us dessert in Good’s Food to Go that caught our attention! The Key Lime Tart looked too good for us to pass up, so we decided to review it just for you! Join us as we dive right in… The Key Lime Tart consists of a graham cracker crust drenched in a honey-molasses sauce, key lime custard filling, graham cracker crust pieces, whipped baker’s cream, and decorative white chocolate pieces. The decorative garnish reminded us of a deconstructed key lime pie, which we thought was so cool! It is packaged in a portable plastic container with a lid. This dessert makes a great “to go” treat! However, it’s time to find out if this dessert is worth traveling to Mile Marker 0 for. Let’s give it a try! We are happy to report that this dessert is definitely making WAVES at Disney’s Old Key West Resort! It was absolutely delicious. The key lime custard was creamy, smooth and had just the right amount of lip-puckering key lime flavor and tartness. The graham cracker crust drenched in the honey-molasses sauce was perfect for our reviewers! We loved that the crust was still dense, although the sauce had soaked into it. This is the only thing that might give you pause as a Key Lime Pie fan — that “wet crust” situation might not be for everyone! But it does give a little extra sweetness to this otherwise tart dessert. The garnish was pretty and fun, and it didn’t take away from the flavor of the key lime custard. We loved the whipped baker’s cream which made the custard slightly creamier and sweeter, and we really wish there had been more. The white chocolate pieces added a little extra sweetness. You can get your own Key Lime Tart for $4.29 or a Disney Dining Plan snack credit at Good’s Food to Go in Disney’s Old Key West Resort. In the mood for more delicious Disney Resort hotel treats? Check out our reviews on the mouth-watering Chocolate Stone and the adorable Nemo Cupcake! Are you excited to try the Key Lime Tart next time you visit Disney’s Old Key West Resort?

Disney World has so much to offer when it comes to dining — everything from incredible snacks to Table Service meals, all the way up to the good stuff — Signature Dining. But eating the best of the best comes with a steep price tag — both out of pocket AND on the Disney Dining Plan. On the Dining Plan, these choice restaurants will cost ya TWO table service credits! Cinderella Castle If you’re going to be dishing out two of your credits on a meal, you want to make sure you are getting the ultimate value for using them! That’s where we can help! We’ve gathered together some repeat favorites as well as a crop of new additions to our list of BEST two credit restaurants at Disney World. We crunched the numbers to see which two-credit restaurants actually had the most value when you use the Disney Dining Plan. We looked at average prices across the menus as well as adding together the most expensive items from each category that comes included with the Dining Plan: entree, dessert, and a drink. We also took atmosphere, service, and the full experience into consideration. So, which two-credit restaurants provide the most bang for your buck? California Grill – Contemporary Resort Located at the top of the Contemporary Resort, California Grill is a long-time fan favorite. With both an excellent menu and a wide selection of wine and mixed drinks, this is a highly sought-out restaurant. One of its key features, aside from the food, is the stunning views of Magic Kingdom California Grill provides! Views of Magic Kingdom California Grill is definitely one of the more pricey options at Disney World: if you were to order the Grilled Colorado Bison Loin ($62), paired with a glass of Honig Cabernet Sauvignon ($22), and finished the evening with their selection of Farmhouse and Artisanal Cheeses ($23), that would run you a total of $107! Bison Strip Loin at California Grill The menu is diverse, featuring wood-fired handmade pizzas, freshly prepared sushi, steaks, fish, and more — all of which are prepared incredibly well. California Grill also offers a prix-fixe brunch at a whopping $95 per adult and $56 per child and will cost you two dining credits as well. But with mimosas, a bloody mary bar, charcuterie buffet, sushi, entrees, and more, it’s quite the experience and can be a wonderful way to start your day. Brunch at California Grill Check out our review of brunch at California Grill here! Easily one of the biggest draws of California Grill for many is the views, especially in the evening. Each night, when Magic Kingdom’s Happily Ever After fireworks (or, if you don’t happen to have a ticket, any of the Special Event fireworks, like those during the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party or Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!) begin, the lights are dimmed and the music is piped in for everyone to enjoy. Fireworks from California Grill! If you want the best view, try to request a window table with a park view. Don’t have the best seat in the house or dined earlier that evening? No worries! You have access to their extensive outdoor viewing patio adjacent to the restaurant for perfect views! If you ate earlier in the evening, just be sure to show your receipt for access. Fireworks! With top-notch food and stellar views, not surprisingly, reservations for California Grill always go fast so be sure to book a table at 180 days out if you want to dine here! Click here to see our review of dinner at California Grill Topolino’s Terrace (Dinner) – Riviera Resort As the newest two-credit restaurant, Topolino’s Terrace – Flavors of the Riviera had a lot to live up to! This spot JUST opened in December 2019, and this rooftop restaurant features both spectacular views and a spectacular menu. the view from Topolino’s Terrace It took one dinner at Topolino’s for us to agree that this new addition to Disney’s Signature Dining list deserves its place there. The service and food were all phenomenal. The pasta is all hand-made, and everything we tried from seafood to burrata was all incredibly fresh. Pastas The prices here certainly merit two dining credits! From a $40 Herb Fettuccine to a $52 Tomahawk Veal Chop, you’ll have an easy time racking up a hefty bill if you aren’t on the Disney Dining Plan! Tomahawk Veal Chop Topolino’s Terrace also has an impressive drink menu, with wines from around the world such as Planeta Chardonnay from Sicily ($20 a glass) and Emblem by Michael Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley ($18 a glass). All of their hand-crafted cocktails we tried were quite good. We especially loved the Modern Fashioned ($17) with its Riviera emblazoned ice cube! Modern Fashioned Like California Grill, Topolino’s boasts views of fireworks as well. Guests can see the evening fireworks at Hollywood Studios and Epcot, though music isn’t piped in and it’s not quite as good of a view as at California Grill. This is a nice plus, but we would come more for the food than the views of the fireworks, to be honest! Epcot Fireworks View If you want to check out Topolino’s Terrace but don’t want to part from two precious dining credits, they have a wonderful character breakfast that will only run you one dining credit per person! Not surprisingly, breakfast made our list of best one-credit picks! You can read our review of that here! Read our FULL review of Topolino’s Terrace here! Cinderella’s Royal Table – Magic Kingdom If you’re looking for a classic character dining experience, look no further. At Cinderella’s Royal Table, you get to dine INSIDE Cinderella’s Castle and meet with several Disney Princesses, including, of course, Cinderella. Cinderella You certainly can’t get more fairytale-esque than dining inside the castle itself! The Castle is ornately decorated throughout, and getting to ascend those plush red winding stairs to the open dining room is a moment many guests who choose to dine here will likely always remember from their trip. It’s truly beautiful and memorable. It is Cindy’s Castle, after all. Vaulted Ceilings and Regal Flags in the Dining Room Cinderella’s Royal Table is also a great use of your two credits from a price perspective, especially if you have little ones – their prix-fixe lunch or dinner is $75 per adult and $45 per child before tax and gratuity! Breakfast is $62 per adult and $37 per child before tax and gratuity. Breakfast is obviously not quite as great of a value as lunch or dinner, BUT if you book early in the morning, it can allow you some great photo opportunities in front of the Castle before the crowds roll in for the day! Note reservations at this restaurant must be paid in full at the time of booking! Beef Tenderloin at Cinderella’s Royal Table Lunch and dinner options here include, among others, a Tenderloin of Beef, Seared Pork Rib Chop, or the Chef’s Fish of the Day (prepared by the Chef at Cinderella’s request to show off the Kingdom’s fresh fish, of course!) Breakfast features options like Shrimp and Grits, Beef Tenderloin and Egg, or a Caramel Apple-stuffed French Toast (basically dessert for breakfast — NOTHING wrong with that!) Breakfast at Cinderella’s Royal Table Cinderella’s Royal Table is another hard-to-get reservation. If you have little princes or princesses in your family that REALLY want to eat in the castle (or maybe just you really do — no judgment here!), make this the FIRST restaurant you book as soon as your 180-day window opens for Advance Dining Reservations to be sure you don’t miss out! Check out our latest review of breakfast at Cinderella’s Royal Table here! Be Our Guest (Dinner) – Magic Kingdom Be Our Guest is another two-credit restaurant that leans heavily into atmosphere and theme. If you have fans of Beauty and the Beast in your party, you will definitely want to check this restaurant out! Located in Fantasyland, you have a chance to dine inside the Beast’s castle! Entrance into Beast’s Castle This is basically like walking straight into the animated movie in the best way possible. The restaurant is straight-up gorgeous. You can be seated in the Grand Ballroom with falling snow outside the windows, the spooky West Wing with flashing lightning, or the Castle Gallery with a giant music box of Belle and Beast in the center of the room (we especially love the West Wing! Keep your eye’s on the portrait of the prince on the wall when a petal falls from the Enchanted Rose!). You also have the opportunity to meet your host, The Beast, in his study ONLY at dinner when you dine at Be Our Guest. Grand Ballroom When Be Our Guest originally opened in 2012, it was a one-credit location for dinner and quick-service for breakfast and lunch. In 2018 the menu changed to a prix fixe 3-course meal for dinner, with breakfast and lunch remaining quick-service. With the increase in quality, so too was the price increased — dinner was elevated to two-credit, Signature Dining, meaning the price tag for paying out of pocket went up significantly as well. Roasted Pork Tenderloin Appetizers for your prix fixe dinner include options such as Maine Lobster Bisque and Escargot. Entrees range from Center-cut Filet Mignon to Pan-seared Sea Scallops. And of course, no trip to Be Our Guest is complete without dessert. All guests are served a trio of sweets on an edible sugar paper print of the Enchanted Rose, including a white chocolate “Chip” Cup of that famous Grey Stuff (it really IS delicious!). White Chocolate “Chip” Cup Without the Dining Plan, prix fixe dinner at Be Our Guest would cost $62 for adults and $37 for kids. The food served at dinner is quite good with the switch to the prix fixe menu, but the main sell for most folks on Be Our Guest is the chance to dine in Beast’s Castle. The restaurant really is something to behold! Read our review of the Signature Prix Fixe Menu at Be Our Guest here! Morimoto Asia (Dinner) – Disney Springs As a consistently top-rated restaurant by DFB, Morimoto Asia in Disney Springs delivers top-quality food and is an excellent option to consider for a two-credit dining experience. Morimoto Asia In terms of value, you can certainly rack up a hefty bill here! For entrees, the Madagascar Jumbo Shrimp will cost you $39 and Mongolian Beef Filet clocks in at $52! If you got the Filet, combined with a glass of Pine Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon ($20) and finish off with a Churro Fondue ($13), it’ll run you a total of $83. Morimoto Asia Churros If you want to go REALLY crazy, you can spend 4 credits for dinner to get the whole Morimoto Peking Duck for two as a split entree. This was SO SO good. Like, mind-blowingly good. But for $60 out of pocket, maybe save your dining credits and stick to the meat and fish dishes or pay for it without your Dining Plan! Peking Duck at Morimoto Asia Note that you could order from a nearly identical menu at lunch, and it’ll only cost you one dining credit (no surprise here — we picked lunch as a best bet for one-credit dining options!). But if you want a Signature Dining experience for dinner, with the service you come to expect with that, you can’t go wrong with an intimate dinner at Morimoto Asia! Read our full review of Morimoto Asia here! Le Cellier – Epcot Le Cellier Steakhouse has been a classic favorite of ours (and many guests!) for a loooong time! Nestled in the Canada Pavilion in World Showcase, this steakhouse is located in a “cellar” (hence the name), and features a menu of delicious steaks and yes, POUTINE (it IS Canada after all, eh?) Le Cellier Filet We still adore just about all the iterations of the Le Cellier Filet Mignon (is Truffle Butter Sauce EVER a bad idea? Nope!). And their Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup is the stuff dream are made of. And the Poutine? Oh, the Poutine! Drowning crispy french fries in thick gravy and cheese curds? Just stop, Le Cellier! It’s all too much to handle right now! Beef Bourguinon Poutine at Le Cellier Le Cellier is expensive – perhaps overpriced for some – so if you have the Dining Plan, this could be a great use of your credits. Ordering their famed Le Cellier Filet Mignon will run you $59.00. Combined with a $20.00 glass of a Bordeaux Blend, and their (delicious) Maple Crème Brûlée for dessert at $12, brings your total bill to a whopping $91.00 for one person! Your 2 credits will definitely go to good use here if you’re looking for Signature Dining at Epcot. Le Cellier also has a prix-fixe brunch for $67 per adult and $39 per child. We’ve consistently adored the food from Le Cellier and the ambiance is wonderful — it really feels like you’re dining in an underground, dimly lit cellar! If you want a quiet, intimate, and memorable spot for lunch or dinner, this will fit the bill nicely! Read our most recent review of Le Cellier here! Jiko – The Cooking Place – Animal Kingdom Lodge We’re finishing our list today at Jiko – The Cooking Place, found at Animal Kingdom Lodge. When we asked our team their top two-credit spots, this was the clear top choice! The resort has great one credit table service options, including Boma and Sanaa, but if you want a truly next-level dining experience, Jiko won’t disappoint! Wide Shot of Jiko’s Dining Room If you’re looking for a two-credit dining experience but are having difficulty finding reservations for California Grill or Be Our Guest, this is a great alternative and, in fact, a bit of a hidden gem! Jiko is also the perfect place for date night – with low lighting and a quiet atmosphere, this restaurant has a truly ROMANTIC vibe! Jiko Wine Tasting Room While other two-credit restaurants may offer a beautiful view or character meet and greets, Jiko shines when it comes to their food. Beautifully plated and absolutely delicious, this is a food lover’s paradise. Botswana-style Beef Short Rib We’ve practically written love songs about the Oak-grilled Filet Mignon served here. It’s seen a few iterations over the years, but is still just as knock-our-socks-off delicous! It’s served over the most incredible mac and cheese with a South African Wine Glace. SO. GOOD. Oak Grilled Filet with Mac and Cheese With other equally delicious entrees such as the Bone-In Grilled Rib-Eye ($57) and Cape Malay Seafood Curry ($47), and a positively gigantic selection of stellar African wines, Jiko may quickly become your new favorite signature restaurant! The spot is romantic, has an eclectic menu, stellar service, and is sure to please! Hold on, going to book an ADR right…now…. Read our latest review of dinner at Jiko here! With so many incredible dining options around Disney World, it’s a tough choice to decide if being a big-spender on a two-credit signature meal is worth it. For some families, sticking to one-credit spots is perfectly fine. BUT, if you’re looking for a special meal at a location with truly stellar service, dynamite food, and that little something extra that you’ll only find in Disney World, all of these restaurants we’ve shared will aim to please!

Lunar New Year has arrived (and brought LOTS of eats and treats along with it!) Lunar New Year And, although we’ve taken you to ALL four food booths this year to review Red Dragon Spice Traders, Lucky 8 Lantern, Prosperity Bao & Buns, and Longevity Noodle Co., we’re stopping by one of the carts in the area for another tasty treat! The Mandarin Orange Cotton Candy has been spun up for the Lunar New Year festival! Mandarin Orange Cotton Candy In case you aren’t aware, mandarin oranges are considered symbols of good fortune and prosperity for the Chinese New Year! So, it only makes sense we start our 2020 off with one of these bbs, right?? Mandarin Orange Cotton Candy And, let us tell you — the orange flavor is REAL in this cotton candy!! Before you even bite in, you can smell the sweet, citrusy flavor that the treat has. The sugar tastes like artificial orange sugar, but it’s not too overdone (AKA not sickly sweet). Mandarin Orange Cotton Candy If we say it tastes like baby aspirin, many of you will likely immediately know what we mean (but seriously — don’t give babies aspirin nowadays! We learned a few generations back that’s like…a big no no! Just don’t, ok?). BUT if you were ever lucky enough to taste baby aspirin back in the day, picture that but BETTER. Imagine just a hint on sweet orangey flavor. Awesome. Even if you aren’t a huge fan of cotton candy, the Mandarin Orange Cotton Candy is worth a try if you want to be bold and brave by trying something new for the new year!

The Mandalorian‘s first season is finished (we’re patiently waiting for season two’s arrival), and after a whole season, we still don’t really know too much about Baby Yoda! Artist Rendition of Baby Yoda Enjoying His Frapp Although we’ve been loving the Baby Yoda Spirit Jersey, secret cocktail, and Starbucks Frappuccino, we’re digging the more mysterious vibe of the latest merch item in Disneyland! We’ve all been asking questions about who Baby Yoda is, where he comes from, and especially what species he is. While we might not have answers just yet, you can wear the Baby Yoda Unknown Species Shirt instead! Baby Yoda Unknown Species Shirt Over at Mickey’s Star Traders in Disneyland, we spied this brand new shirt!

If you were a child of the 90s, you probably owned or wanted a piece of this kind of jewelry at some point… Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter. We’re picturing our younger selves decked out in stirrup pants, oversized shirts, and of course ALL THE MOOD RINGS! During a recent visit to Disney’s Port Orleans Resort, we were transported STRAIGHT back to our youth when we spotted mood-changing jewelry, reminiscent of the ones that were TOTALLY popular in the 90s! O M G — the first piece we found was this Minnie Mouse “Earband” Mood Necklace for $19.99! Minnie Mouse Earband Mood Necklace It’s very similar to the other Minnie “Earband” necklaces currently available in Disney Parks and Disney Resort hotels, but the color of these changes according to your mood! Disney Mood Changing Jewelry If your necklace turns black, it means you are ‘happy/relaxed’. Blue means you are in ‘love’, green means you are ‘calm’, red means you are ‘unsettled’, and yellow means you are ‘nervous’! Oh, snap! We also found this rad mood bracelet for $14.99! It features a stretchy, hot pink band and a mood-changing Minnie Mouse bow. Minnie Mouse Bow Mood Bracelet It is also adjustable, which means it will be great for Guests of all ages! You go, girl! Minnie Mouse Bow Mood Bracelet If you love earrings, HOLLA!, because we found a set of three Minnie Mouse-inspired mood earrings for $14.99! This set features Minnie Mouse bows, Mickey heads, and heart-shaped earrings. Minnie Mouse Mood Earrings Set The last mood-changing piece we found was a set of two Minnie Mouse “key” necklaces for $19.99. SWEET! Minnie Mouse Key Mood Necklaces We decided to try the mood-changing feature on one of the keys, and as you can tell, we were happy, relaxed, and calm. That makes total sense, as that is how we usually feel while visiting Walt Disney World! Minnie Mouse Key Mood Necklaces Lastly, we found a set of two Minnie Mouse “Earband” necklaces for $19.99. They are in the same packaging as the mood-changing sets but were not labeled as mood jewelry, FYI! So don’t expect these to shift color on you! Even so, they’re still quite FRESH! Minnie Mouse Earband Duo-Chrome Necklaces This set features two rose gold necklaces (one a bit smaller than the other) with rose gold earband charms. The earbands have a duo-chrome bow which seems to shift between light green and pink. They were so awesome! Minnie Mouse Mood Earrings Overall, we think this collection is DA BOMB, but we hope to see a “mood ring” added to this collection soon, because OBVIOUSLY! It’ll be perfect when we need to remind someone to “TALK TO THE HAND!” We also love sharing a piece of our childhood with the current generation.

While Walt Disney Studios is already a HUGE industry, Disney has branched out into other franchises like Star Wars and Marvel! ©Walt Disney Studios And, now that Disney has acquired 20th Century Fox, there have been a few changes around there as well! According to The New York Times, Disney has officially dropped the word “Fox” from the 20th Century Fox and Fox Searchlight studios! ©Disney The “Fox” name has been around for over 85 years in the Hollywood film industry. Now, the companies will be renamed simply 20th Century Studios and Searchlight Pictures under the Disney corporation. However, the well-known trumpet fanfare and opening sequence will continue to be a part of the opening credits. ©Disney Downhill will be the first Searchlight Pictures movie, and The Call of the Wild will be the first 20th Century Studios movie with the new names and logos in theaters this February. ©Disney We’re excited to see what doors Disney is going to open with 20th Century and Searchlight!

Although we saw the Rose Cake Pop in Disneyland for Valentine’s Day last year (and it originally debuted in 2017 with the Beauty and the Beast Live Action film), it’s shown up several times on both coasts as a classic…tale as old as time.

Rose Cake Pop The chocolate cake pop is wrapped with a sour candy belt and then covered in white chocolate. But, of course, the Queen of Hearts only wants RED roses (so there’s a lil food coloring to be sure of that ;D). Rose Cake Pop And, it’s everything we had hoped it would be (and just as good as we remember!). The rich chocolate is so moist and flavorful, making every bite l’amour! Enchanted Rose Cake Pop — Inside The crunch from the white chocolate is a wonderful contrast to the cake, while the sour belt adds a slight twist on the flavor that we can’t get enough of!!

And, you can celebrate the Culinary, Visual, and Performing Arts at this year’s 4th annual Festival of the Arts. 2020 Epcot Festival of the Arts Now through February 24th, you can catch all the amazing merchandise and entertainment in the park (like the Disney on Broadway Concert Series!). Buuut, there’s also our favorite part — the ood being offered at the booths around the festival. And, obviously, we can’t pass up some good eats and treats in Disney World! Of course you know we’ve eaten EVERYTHING (yep — every. single. thing.) at the festival… Check out all the food booths and menus for the 2020 Epcot Festival of the Arts here! …and we’re here to share with you our must-eats from the 2020 Festival of the Arts! So, without further adieu, you can snack and sip along with us as you check out our… BEST OF THE FEST! Here are our favorite EATS that we tried around Epcot today! Sopes de Barbacoa from El Artista Hambriento We warned you guys this dish was probably going straight to the top of our 2020 Best of the Fest list when we reviewed El Artista Hambriento earlier today, and HERE it is, right at the TOP! A Fried Guajillo Corn Shell is filled with braised barbacoa beef, black beans, cotija cheese, Mexican cream, and chives. Even though the Sopes de Chilorio made our best of the fest last year, we preferred this year’s updated version! The dish costs $7.25. El Artista Hambriento Read our FULL REVIEW of El Artista Hambriento’s food and drinks at this year’s fest HERE! Char Sio Pork Bun from The Painted Panda The Char Sio Pork Bun was a tasty addition to this year’s fest! The pork was perfectly roasted and came coated in a mix of salty and sweet sauce! The edible flowers were there for dramatic effect and not-so-much flavor, but we didn’t mind ’em since the rest of the dish was a BIG YUM from us! Char Sio Pork Bun Spicy Beef Shumai from The Painted Panda The Spicy Beef Shumai were little steamed beef dumplings paired perfectly with crunchy fresh pickles! We wolfed these guys down in no time! Hopefully for $10.50, you can make yours last a little longer! Just remember to chew! Chewing is important! Spicy Beef Shumai Read our review of the rest of the eats and drinks at The Painted Panda here! Popcorn Pairing Flight from Refreshment Outpost What pairs better with popcorn than beer, GLORIOUS beer! The beers have been switched up for 2020 and we love the new line up! The Barrel of Monks Brewery Endless Enigma Golden Pale Ale is paired with Bacon Barbecue Popcorn. That’s right, folks BACON and BEER! The Collective Arts Brewing Life in the Clouds goes with the Jalapeño Ranch Popcorn, and the M.I.A. Beer Company Malt Bach Brown Ale is paired with the Buffalo Bleu Cheese Popcorn. Refreshment Outpost Popcorn and Beer Pairing It’s hard to see, but the beer is UNDER the popcorn here! Popcorn Pairing Flight The Refreshment Outpost is also servin’ up our Best of the Fest for Kids Paintbrush Churros! See ’em HERE! Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich Funnel Cake from The Funnel Cake Stand at the American Adventure Pavilion This snack was a real treat, y’all! It was definitely a FAN favorite among our team (and even one of the top picks of one of our team members with a serious sweet tooth!). The funnel cake is topped with peanut butter ice cream, marshmallow cream, and raspberry glaze. You can snag this one at American Adventure Pavilion’s Funnel Cake Stand for $9.50 — even though it’s 10’s, 10’s 10’s across the board with us! Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich Funnel Cake Read our full review of the Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich Funnel Cake here! Sushi Donut from Goshiki Food Studio Yes, Disney’s finally done it. They’ve made a Sushi Donut! Actually, they had it at last year’s fest as well (and it made our Best of the Fest in 2019), but it’s EVEN BETTER this time around! They’ve improved the Sushi Donut this year with salmon, tuna, shrimp, cucumber, and sesame seeds, decorated with wasabi aioli, sriracha, and eel sauce. We thought the sauces it came with were especially amazing. Sushi Donut Read our FULL review of Goshiki here! Crème de Brie en Petit Pain from L’Art de la Cuisine Francaise Another returning favorite of ours — the Crème de Brie en Petit Pain! We look forward to getting lost in this housemade bread bowl filled with warm, creamy brie year after delicious year for $7.75! This one’s a oui-oui with us!

Toast to the fine artists that have hailed from France with this yummy cocktail for $14! Frozen French Martini Read our full review of L’Art de la Cuisine Francaise here! Smoked Salmon From The Masterpiece Kitchen In past years, The Masterpiece Kitchen’s Charcuterie Palette with Artisan Cured Meats and Cheeses and Wild Mushroom Risotto have won a coveted spots on our best-of list; but this year, we STAN for the Smoked Salmon! It’s served with a cream gâteau and egg yolk cream, Paddlefish caviar, and micro-herbs! It’s brand new to the booth this year for $7! You’ll find The Masterpiece Kitchen over by the Canada pavilion! Smoked Salmon Vanilla, Rose Water, and Pistachio Panna Cotta from The Masterpiece Kitchen The Masterpiece Kitchen also had another one of our favorite desserts — the Vanilla, Rose Water, and Pistachio Panna Cotta! It’s soooo pretty to look at, and has a beautiful subtle, floral flavor! It’s blooming at this year’s Festival of the Arts for $8. Here’s hoping it’ll stick around for Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival coming up next! Vanilla, Rose Water and Pistachio Panna Cotta Read our all about the eats at The Masterpiece Kitchen here! The Impressionism Latte & Donut Pairing from Canada Pavilion’s Joffrey’s We thought the new Joffrey’s coffee and donut duos themed after different artist movements at this year’s Festival of the Arts were a great addition. And our stand-alone favorite was the Impressionism Pairing over in the Canada pavilion’s Joffrey’s. It features a blackberry iced latte that comes topped with a blueberry donut and whipped cream! So yummy! You can pick this awesome treat up for $9.50! Joffrey’s Canada Impressionism Pairing Read about the other artistic latte and donut pairings at this year’s fest here! Tomato Soup Can Bloody Mary from Pop Eats! Things are about to take a sharp turn as we explore this festival’s more contemporary side! If you thought this homage to Andy Warhol wouldn’t make our Best of the Fest this year, you were crazy! The Tomato Soup Can Bloody Mary comes in an adorable souvenir cup emblazoned with Pop Eats! in some crazy Roy Lichtenstein-esque lettering! But it’s not just a pretty package — this thing seriously KICKS! Tomato Soup Can Bloody Mary The Tomato Soup Can Bloody Mary might just be one of the best drinks we’ve EVER had in Disney World!
