That’s right – it’s time to eat your way around the world at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival! Starting today, you can come and enjoy over 30 destinations located throughout the park, each offering unique dishes and beverages inspired by cultures from around the world. In addition, there’s celebrity chefs, pairing seminars, culinary demonstrations, beverage seminars, cheese seminars, and tons of other tasty experiences that you won’t want to miss! Of course, I can’t forget the Eat to the Beat Concert Series. The 2018 line-up is AMAZING and what better way to enjoy good food than while listening to live music? Mix It, Make It, Celebrate It! also returns this year where you can work side-by-side with chefs, beverage experts, and other kitchen wizards during a hands-on lesson that teaches one of many different culinary and beverage skills. As for a couple of my favorites, I definitely recommend you try the Charred Chimichurri Skirt Steak from the Flavors from Fire Marketplace in Future World! This delicious steak comes on a smoked corn cake with pickled vegetable slaw and cilantro aïoli – YUM. There’s also the vegetarian Butternut Squash Ravioli with brown butter vinaigrette, Parmesan cheese, and pumpkin seeds (which I LOVE pumpkin seeds, so I’m pump(kin)ed for this one! It can be found at the Wine & Dine Studio Marketplace also located in Future World. And if you’re feeling thirsty, you can stop by the brand-new Shimmering Sips Mimosa Bar, which can be found in the Festival Center. The Madras Mimosa is the perfect morning pick-me-up, especially when it’s paired with a Chocolate or Almond Croissant or a Cheese Danish with Sweet Icing. While you’re enjoying the festival, why not commemorate your visit with a magical array of limited-edition special event merchandise? This year, specially-designed merchandise will let you recreate the tasting-around-the-world experience at home. From cookbooks and apparel to tabletop and kitchen goods, new artwork shows Chef Mickey Mouse exploring the Festival. New merchandise includes a ceramic pie plate, wooden pepper mill, bottle-shaped cutting board, and a serving dish that gives a nod to the one and only Mouse. Look for these items and more, including the fan-favorite Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak scavenger hunt at the Festival Center located adjacent to Mission: SPACE, and in select merchandise locations throughout Epcot. So what are you waiting for? Come on out and LET’S GET EATIN’! The Epcot International Food & Wine Festival runs through November 12, 2018. And when you get here, don’t forget to grab a Festival Passport to help you find all of the eats your hungry heart desires. Not only will it tell you where to find anything and everything this year’s festival has to offer, you get to take it home as a memento to remember your trip by.

It was certainly a surprise to stop by Pongu Pongu last week and no longer see the spot’s signature snack — the Pongu Lumpia — on the posted menu signboard. Pongu Lumpia But that made it an even happier surprise to see that the pineapple cream cheese roll is suddenly back on the menu this week, nearly as quickly as it disappeared! Here is the menu today… Current Pongu Pongu Menu … and here is the menu from last week. Pongu Pongu Menu last week The Cast Member we spoke with did confirm that they removed it from the lunch and dinner menu last week but “decided to put it back.” As we’ve mentioned, it’s a love-it-or-leave-it dessert with not many opinions in between. Our DFB team is divided about it, but those of us who love it are celebrating! Pongu Lumpia at Pongu Pongu OH, and FYI — if you’re on the West Coast, you’ll soon be able to experience the Pineapple Lumpia in all its glory on a regular basis! The lumpia is coming to Disneyland’s Tropical Hideaway very soon! See details here! Want to stay informed of ALL the Disney News?? Sign Up for the Disney Food Blog Newsletter and don’t miss a thing!

Strap in, humans, for an inside look at the Monster world. Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! at Disney California Adventure park takes guests on a taxi tour of Monstropolis on the very day that a human child happens to get loose in the city. Come take a closer look at Mike and Sulley’s world! In the Monstropolis Transit Authority Terminal, where humans queue up for their taxi tours of the city, check out the vending machine snacks. Monsters craving Drooler Cooler, Primordial Ooze or a Bag O Calories can grab a satisfying treat made for monster appetites. Once in the taxi, one of the first things visitors will see is Mike Wazowski and his girlfriend, Celia, enjoying a romantic night in Mike’s convertible. Count the five snakes that make up Celia’s hair – their names are Ameilia, Ophelia, Octelia, Bobelia and Madge. Celia’s snakes tend to reflect how she’s feeling. In this case, she’s happy to be with Mike! Visitors may also spot the Child Detection Agency storming the scene. The C.D.A. is responsible for keeping human children out of Monstropolis, and are hot on the heels of our heroes, Mike and Sulley. A little known fact is that the director of “Monsters, Inc.,” Peter Docter, voices one of the C.D.A. agents heard on the attraction. Before entering the locker room, check out the bulletin board for important memos and postings – like “The Top Ten Ways to Get Fired” at Monsters, Inc. The number one way? Forgetting to file your paperwork, of course! Mike and Sulley head over to the locker room with Boo, just steps away from the scare floor. Mike may have one big eye, but his eyesight is not so good. As a result, he has to wear a contact lens the size of a soup bowl. Can you spot it resting on the locker room bench? Making our way into the door vault, we see Randall Boggs trying to foil Mike and Sulley’s plan to get Boo home. Don’t forget to look up and around though! The door vault has 236 individual doors, including Boo’s. There may even be a visit from a friendly monster with a yummy frozen treat. At long last the taxi returns to the Monstropolis Transit station, where Roz sends visitors off. We hope you enjoyed your visit to the city of Monstropolis!
