  1. It’s that time again: time for the Burger of the Month at The Edison in Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs! Unsurprisingly the March burger tips its hat to traditional Irish grub! The Edison The Luck of the Irish Burger begins with The Edison’s signature blend of brisket, sirloin, and short rib. Topping the patty are corned beef, coleslaw, crispy potatoes, and whole grain mustard. Those crispy potatoes add a bit of texture, and just LOOK at that edible architecture!

  4. My friends who live in the northern United States have been telling me for weeks about their endless snow storms and frigid temperatures, but down here in Florida, the weather is balmy, and we’re well into flip flop season!

  5. There was a LOT of activity on the official Disneyland and Walt Disney World websites yesterday with the announcement of opening dates for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge on both coasts came the debut of updated and new pages for the various attractions, restaurants, and experiences for Galaxy’s Edge. Now, if you looked at the title of this post, you may be thinking, “Got it. But what does that have to do with the 2019 Epcot Food and Wine Festival?” Epcot Food and Wine Festival Well, in checking out the new restaurant pages for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge on the Disney World restaurants page, we couldn’t help but notice that four Food and Wine Festival entries had also been updated. Disney World website screenshot These four Special Events — the Mediterranean Food and Wine Pairing, French Family Meal Traditions, the Italian Regional Food & Wine Pairing Luncheon, and the Parisian Breakfast — have all remained listed on the Disney World website as 2018 events well after the 2018 Festival was over. Parisian Breakfast So, we can’t confirm that these events are indeed returning for 2019, but the fact that Disney has not only left them up on the page, but also updated the dates makes us hopeful that these popular guest favorites will return for this year’s festival. (Note that we currently do not have Epcot Food and Wine Festival dates as of press time.) Garnacha de Fuego from Mediterranean Food and Wine Pairing Still, it’s looking promising for these four, I’d say!

It is with great pleasure we announce two of our Disney restaurants received these impressive accolades for 2019 – Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Napa Rose at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. Victoria & Albert’s has received the renowned AAA Five Diamond Award each year since 2000 and, for the second year, the coveted Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Award.

  13. When you’re in Animal Kingdom, you can keep your eyes peeled for Kevin from Up! in a few ways! She landed on Discovery Island a few weeks ago… (Have you seen her?) Kevin from UP is now in Animal Kingdom! And now she’s been spotted on the Kevin Cupcake! At Warung Outpost in the Asia section of the park, we found this new treat alongside a new cocktail: the Himalayan Explorer. Both are equally eye-catching in color! Himalayan Explorer and Kevin Cupcake The Kevin Cupcake features yellow cake with baked-in sprinkles, and is also filled with strawberry mousse. Kevin Cupcake It’s topped with a “sky” of blue-colored buttercream, crispy white chocolate pearls to mimic the famous Up! balloons, and fondant accents. An edible chocolate picture of Kevin finishes off the treat. Kevin Cupcake Parents will probably want to grab plenty of napkins, because — as you can likely anticipate — the vivid hues of this colorful cupcake transfer easily to the hands of the kiddos! Kevin Cupcake Plus, the classic flavors of vanilla with a hint of strawberry tucked inside have lots of taste appeal for the little ones, too. (And for us big kids, while we’re at it!) Kevin Cupcake But there is also a new treat at Warung Outpost that’s just for the adults: it’s the Himalayan Explorer cocktail. Himalayan Explorer This sip takes the Outpost’s regular Strawberry and Mango Margaritas and pours them in layers. The finishing touch is more than a splash of Blue Curacao. Himalayan Explorer You can see that it’s not just kids getting in on the colorful fun! But while it’s really cool to look at, the Blue Curacao gives this drink its intense and somewhat syrupy-sweet flavor profile. Himalayan Explorer You really have to enjoy the taste of it to enjoy this beverage. Himalayan Explorer So, for my tastes, I’d stick with a straight-up margarita or the Triple Yeti Blast. In any case, if you’re in need of refreshment in Animal Kingdom’s Asia, be sure to stop by Warung Outpost! Though their staples have remained pretty solid over the years (which, in the case of the Triple Yeti Blast, is a very good thing), they can still surprise from time to time! Would you like to try either of the new colorful treats at Warung Outpost? Please let us know with a comment!

Here at Disney Parks, Experiences and Products is marking the occasion by celebrating the tens of thousands of Women Behind the Magic, with more than 100 cast member events across the globe—including expos, speaker sessions, networking and development opportunities, and wellness programs—that will empower and inspire.

So whether it’s backstage at our parks, or behind the scenes in our offices, we are taking what is already one of the best places to work in the world, and making it even more so. I’m also pleased to share that in the next few weeks we’ll kick off a new “Women Behind the Magic” story series, showcasing some of the amazing women who use their unique perspectives and skills to make magic in a variety of ways. We can’t wait to kick off this new series and introduce you to them!

Now through June 3, 2019, Epcot guests can enjoy gorgeous Disney-themed topiaries, specialty tours, extra family fun, and the Garden Rocks Concert Series, to name a few of the extra activities blooming all over the park in celebration of Spring. But the main highlight for us are the Outdoor Kitchens — better known as Food Booths — serving enhanced food and beverage offerings with a focus on the fresh-from-the-garden flavors of Spring. The 2019 Festival is underway! Click here to see pictures of ALL THE FOOD at the 2019 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival!

And our goal today is to bring you all of the items you CAN’T MISS when you visit the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival this year! It’s the Best of the Fest for the 2019 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival! Violet Blueberry Vanilla Croissant Donut from Taste Track Hubba hubba! This thing is amazing! Sure, croissant donuts are pretty much always good. But this one — with the glaze-y sweetness, is truly delicious. Must-get. Violet Blueberry Vanilla Croissant Doughnut Mickey Tart Peanut Butter Mousse with Strawberry Jam and Boba Pearls at Flavor Full Kitchen Let’s start at Flavor Full Kitchen with a Mickey-shaped treat — Mickey Tart Peanut Butter Mousse with Strawberry Jam and Boba Pearls. Although there’s a strong peanut butter and jelly flavor here, this one isn’t just for kids. Mickey Tart We found the mousse to have a great texture. More substantial and definitely not too light! But all taste testers thought they really didn’t need the Boba Balls as they gave a weird texture to this dessert. Cookie Butter Worms and Dirt at Flavor Full Kitchen Due to the LARGE serving, the Cookie Butter Worms and Dirt at Flavor Full Kitchen is great for sharing. Cookie Butter Worms and Dirt Across between a thick milkshake and a soft serve when it was served to us, this beverage has great flavor — not too, too sweet. Order this for the kids and take some tastes yourself! Crispy Citrus Chicken with Orange Aïoli and Baby Greens at Citrus Blossom A new booth this year, Citrus Blossom served up a winner with the Crispy Citrus Chicken with Orange Aïoli and Baby Greens! Crispy Citrus Chicken Great flavor combo! Orange Cream Slushy in a Souvenir Orange Bird Sipper Cup or Orange Sunshine Wine Slushy at Citrus Blossom Hit of the Festival! Whether you opt for the non-alcoholic Orange Cream or the over-21 Wine Slushy, expect to wait in long lines at Citrus Blossom for this popular beverage served in an ADORABLE Orange Bird cup. Orange Blossom Wine Slushy in Orange Bird Orange Blossom Wine Slushy The non-alcoholic version in the cup is a HUGE serving so probably good to share. The alcoholic Orange Sunshine Wine Slushy is less cloying and has great flavor! Coffee-rubbed Pork Poutine at Refreshment Port At Refreshment Port, the Coffee-rubbed Pork Poutine has tons of savory flavor. No bland pulled pork here! Coffee-rubbed Pork Poutine You don’t taste a lot of coffee flavor, so non-coffee lovers shouldn’t worry. We loved the addition of the corn relish to give it even more flavor and texture. Grilled Street Corn on the Cob with Savory Garlic Spread at Trowel and Trellis New to the Festival, Trowel and Trellis was experiencing some first day jitters. Grilled Street Corn But once things settle in, the corn on the cob will be a guest favorite!

Tres Leches at Jardín de Fiestas Don’t leave Jardín de Fiestas without ordering the Tres Leches. Tres Leches This Milk-soaked Sponge Cake topped with Cajeta Whipped Cream and Almond Powder is amazing! Szechuan Spicy Red-braised Beef Shank over Rice at Lotus House A visit to Lotus House should include the delcious Szechuan Spicy Red-braised Beef Shank. Szechuan Spicy Red-braised Beef Shank over Rice It’s a huge portion! Yes, it’s spicy, but not over the top. Toasted Pretzel Bread at Bauernmarkt: Farmer’s Market You know how we like our cheese! Once again, the Toasted Pretzel Bread topped with Black Forest Ham and Melted Gruyère Cheese at Bauernmarkt: Farmer’s Market is a standout! Toasted Pretzel Bread with Black Forest Ham and Gruyere Whether you are a returning guest or new to the Festival, you won’t want to miss this delicious item. Pretzel Bread, Ham, Cheese — that’s why! Zeppole at Primavera Kitchen Primavera Kitchen is a must-stop for Zeppole! These Ricotta Cheese Fritters are topped with Powdered Sugar, Raspberry Sauce, and a Chocolate-hazelnut Drizzle. Zeppole The amazing Zeppole can also be found at Via Napoli year-round! Beef Brisket Burnt Ends and Smoked Pork Belly Slider with Garlic Sausage, Chorizo, Cheddar Fondue and House-made Pickle at Smokehouse: The Smokehouse: Barbecue and Brews Returning this year, we have Beef Brisket Burnt Ends and Smoked Pork Belly Slider garnished with Garlic Sausage, Chorizo, Cheddar Fondue and a House-made Pickle. This dish makes a stop at The Smokehouse: Barbecue and Brews a must. Beef Brisket Burnt Ends and Smoked Pork Belly Slider with Garlic Sausage, Chorizo, Cheddar Fondue and House-made Pickle This killer slider incorporates everything that’s great about the burnt ends dish…AND ADDS PORK BELLY! I love it. Even the bun. And that craziness on top? Super fun. Chilled Soba Noodle Salad at Hanami At Hanami, the Chilled Soba Noodle Salad is served with Pan-seared Tuna and Wasabi Dressing.

Fried Cauliflower with Capers, Garlic, Parsley, and Chili Ranch Sauce OK, so how to describe this… it’s that hard, crunchy breading that you find on chicken fingers sometimes? You know what I mean? It’s exactly what you want to have when you’re dipping in a spicy, remoulade-like sauce! This is a super great vegetarian dish — plus VITAMINS FROM VEGGIES! Win. Local Wildflower Honey-mascarpone Cheesecake at The Honey Bee-Stro At The Honey Bee-Stro we’re recommending the Local Wildflower Honey-mascarpone Cheesecake. Local Wildflower Honey Mascarpone Cheesecake It’s served with Orange Blossom Honey Ice Cream garnished with Fennel Pollen Meringue Kisses and Petite Lavender Shoots. Wow! Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade at Pineapple Promenade The gorgeous Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade at Pineapple Promenade is still pleasing Festival crowds! Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade at Pineapple Promenade Also, this beverage is delicious! BEST of the FEST All Items at Fleur de Lys The outdoor kitchen — Fleur de Lys — is our pick for BEST of the FEST. 2019 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival – Fleur de Lys Food Everything was delicious and this should be a must-do for your festival visit! Honorable Mention Farmhouse Meatball at Trowel and Trellis Served with with Lentil Bread, Spinach, Marinated Vegetables, and Creamy Herb Dressing, the Farmhouse Meatball at Trowel and Trellis gets an honorable mention. Farmhouse Meatball We’ve had the IMPOSSIBLE meatball at both the Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival and this festival now and I can say that it is a nice, flavorful meat substitute. I like the meatballs more than the impossible patties I’ve had. Instagram Winners Chocolate Pudding Terrarium at Trowel and Trellis While the Chocolate Pudding Terrarium at Trowel and Trellis is insta-worthy, it’s nothing special flavor-wise. Chocolate Pudding Terrarium But who doesn’t want to post a picture of a chocolate pudding terrarium? Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade at Pineapple Promenade The gorgeous Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade at Pineapple Promenade made our list again. Violet Lemonade Minnie Ears This item seems to be slipping in popularity now that Disney has a whole line of merchandise dedicated to this beverage (it’s getting passe now), but I’m still seeing it pop up in my Instagram feed, so there you go!

  22. Aunt Polly’s is a VERRRRY seasonal quick service spot uniquely located on Tom Sawyer Island at Walt Disney World. Finding this fun, casual restaurant open is a bit of challenge, but when you do, it’s a terrific place to grab a quick bite — particularly when the weather is amenable to outdoor dining on the front porch! And for a short time this month, Aunt Polly is welcoming diners! Aunt Polly’s The restaurant will be open from March 9-16 between 11AM-3PM and serving up some simple quick service eats! Becky’s Buttery Biscuit BBQ Sliders are back (Click here to read our review of Aunt Polly’s Biscuit BBQ Pork Sliders!), and we love the quaintness of the Peanut Butter and Raspberry Preserve Sandwich. Other fun bites include a Peanut Butter, Nutella, and Banana Sandwich; Soft Pretzel Sticks; and Mississippi Mud Brownie. To wash it all down? Lemonade and Root Beer Floats! Becky’s Buttery Biscuit Barbecued Pork Sliders Dining at Aunt Polly’s is like stepping back in time — to a quieter time when you could just munch on your PB&J on the front porch.

  23. It’s been a big news day for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge as the opening dates were released at the Walt Disney Company’s shareholders’ meeting earlier — but Galaxy’s Edge isn’t the only big development happening at Walt Disney World later this year. We’re talking, of course, about Disney’s Skyliner. And we’ve got a FIRST LOOK at unwrapped Skyliner gondolas on the track! Just over a week ago we reported on testing of the Skyliner transportation system (click here to see more about the full-speed test!!), but at that time the vehicles themselves were still under wraps, clad in white to obscure details about the design. Now we see the gondola vehicle in bright yellow with what appears to be white detailing and a logo. We’re also getting a better look at the windows and what appear to be vents along the top of the gondola. Skyliner unwrapped! From this close-up view, these vents appear to be cantilevered, but we don’t have any specifics. From what we know this is the only “air conditioning” currently. Skyliner unwrapped! Many thanks to DFB follower @BradleyTroll for the pics! We’ll be watching the skies for even more from the Skyliner! Be sure to tag @DisneyFoodBlog on Instagram and @DisneyFoodBlog on Twitter while you’re in the parks or looking up at these beauties! And sign up for the DFB Newsletter today so you don’t miss out on any Disney Parks news! What do you think about these new images of the Skyliner? Let us know with a comment!
