You may recall the absolutely awesome Mermaid Cupcake that arrived at Magic Kingdom’s Main Street Bakery just a couple weeks ago. If not, you really should check it out here. Because it will give you some reference for our comparison to ANOTHER brand new Mermaid Cupcake that you can currently find on Disney World’s BoardWalk at the BoardWalk Bakery… Mermaid Cupcake at BoardWalk Bakery Is this thing gorgeous or what?!? It’s even more sparkly than the Main Street Bakery Mermaid Cupcake, thanks to the addition of iridescent colors on the white chocolate mermaid tail and surrounding chocolate shells. Mermaid Cupcake at BoardWalk Bakery Since you now have a choice to make between TWO Mermaid Cupcakes in Disney World — each beautiful to look at in their own right — your ultimate selection may be determined by your flavor preferences. So DFB Team Member Sarah Sands (who thankfully spotted this gem of a cupcake) gave us the scoop! The BoardWalk Bakery Mermaid Cupcake also has a vanilla cake base (no funfetti this time) with a sweet icing that lacks much in the way of flavor, save for the toasted coconut flakes on the top. Mermaid Cupcake at BoardWalk Bakery That coconut flavor is echoed with the bit of coconut pudding tucked inside. Since Sarah (like many of us coconut fans!) can “never have too much coconut,” she would have enjoyed even more coconut flavor, finding the rest of the cupcake to be a bit bland depsite its playful design. As a reminder, we found that the Main Street Bakery Mermaid Cupcake — while having a very simple vanilla profile — nailed the taste factor (with both the funfetti cake and its richer buttercream frosting, too) as well as the overall look. Of course, you may just want to get both for the ol’ Instagram feed ;). Speaking of which… Don’t miss any of the Food Photo Fun. Be sure to follow us on Instagram!

Jolly Holiday Bakery Café is a mainstay on Main Street, U.S.A., at Disneyland Resort. It’s got all the Victorian charm of the iconic park’s main drag, plus it’s full of classic and new treats. It’s the place to get a Raspberry Macaron, creative Cupcakes, and everything in between. Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe Our Disneyland correspondent Heather (follow her adventures on Instagram @DiningInDisney!) stopped in recently to pick up two seasonal treats — both using summer’s jewel: lemon! Lemon Honey Cupcake and Meyer Lemon Strawberry Tart One of the best things about Jolly Holiday is the creativity of the eats guests can find in the pastry case, and the two distinct uses of lemon in the Honey Lemon Cupcake and the Meyer Lemon Strawberry Tart are a perfect example. Plus they’re purty. Lemon Honey Cupcake and Meyer Lemon Strawberry Tart The Honey Lemon Cupcake is lemon and top of lemon on top of lemon — and it’s dreamy for the summer! Lemon Honey Cupcake The topper is a cheerful fondant sunflower, with golden garnishes makin’ it look a little special. These are on top of a pile of fluffy Lemon Buttercream! The Honey comes into play here, sweetening the frosting without adding a ton of honey flavor. Honey Lemon Cupcake The cake is light and lemony — and it’s filled with more lemon filling! See? Lemon on lemon on lemon. Yes, this is a DFB favorite! (Also — holy cow, that’s a lot of frosting!) Honey Lemon Cupcake The second lemon iteration is completely different — and completely divine! The Meyer Lemon Strawberry Tart combines two of the season’s best fruit flavors. The appearance is a little… bright. And glittery. Meyer Lemon Strawberry Tart Inside the Shortbread Tart Crust is Lemon Custard with Strawberries. The combination is a terrific balance of tart and sweet. Heather loved it — and loved that it’s a generous size for the price. Meyer Lemon Strawberry Tart interior So in case you were wondering, Jolly Holiday is killing the summer treats game! And don’t forget: throughout Pixar Fest (continuing through September 3!), Jolly Holiday is serving up Pixar-fied treats like the Peanut Butter and Jelly Eclair and the Nutella-stuffed Adventure Tart! Want to know what else you can find at Jolly Holiday? Check out our DFB YouTube video all about this park icon! Which lemon treat tickles your fancy? Let us know in the comments!

Last week, Marcus Scribner, a.k.a. Andre Johnson, Jr. on ABC’s “black-ish,” graduated from high school (in real life, weeks after graduating on the show) and then celebrated with his family throughout Walt Disney World Resort. To kick off the celebration, Marcus and his family visited Disney’s Animal Kingdom for some thrill rides, starting with Avatar Flight of Passage at Pandora – The World of Avatar and Expedition Everest before meeting up with Launchpad McQuack, who stopped by the Tree of Life on his way to Donald’s Dino-Bash! That was just the beginning of Marcus’ vacation. As you may know, he’s no stranger to Walt Disney World and its famous mountains. Check out the video to see what I mean! View the full article

In our Disney Doodle series, different Disney artists take turns imagining what different Disney characters would do or see first if they had the chance to visit a Disney Park. In today’s Doodle, artist Ashley Taylor envisions what Mulan would do if she spent some time at Epcot. According to Ashley, Mulan may head to the China Pavilion in World Showcase for some exploring. “The China Pavilion is so tranquil and beautiful,” she said. “It’s easy to imagine Mulan finding time to reflect in that location.” View the full article

When the sun is hot, and a shady spot cannot be found, many guests are at a loss as to what to do in the parks to stay cool. Don’t worry the Disney Parks Moms Panelists have been there too, and they are here to give you their best tips for staying cool on a hot summer day. “When you’re exploring Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in the heat of summer, sometimes you need a little break from the sun. My favorite way to take a break is to head inside to an air-conditioned venue and enjoy a show,” said panelist, Diane W. “Whether it’s an amazing live stage show such as “Finding Nemo – The Musical” or “Festival of the Lion King” (at Disney’s Animal Kingdom), or a beloved old favorite like Country Bear Jamboree (at Magic Kingdom Park), that short time spent sitting indoors and enjoying some fun entertainment is a great way to cool down and beat the heat!” Missy is a fan of bringing cooling towels to the park which she claims “magically keeps her family cool.” She also recommends stopping to enjoy a show like Mickey’s PhilharMagic, which is always a refreshing way to enjoy the magic and fun while cooling off a bit! She adds that while not scientifically proven, her family believes the coolest air in the theme parks can be found at the Epcot Character Spot! Hot temperatures also require guests to stay hydrated and Jacqui says she makes it a priority to drink a lot of water when taking on the theme parks. “We drink lots and lots of water. As a matter of fact, we always have a water bottle at hand. With all the fun and action it’s easy to forget and dehydration can come on super-fast. If we are staying at a Disney Vacation Club resort, we purchase a case of water ahead of time and pop bottles in the freezer. We bring water bottles into the parks in a small soft-sided cooler so they are always ‘at the ready.’” “Another great way to stay cool is to plan ahead for Table Service meals during the hottest times of the day. Relaxing in air conditioning while enjoying a delicious meal may be just the trick to refresh you and your crew so you can play the rest of the day,” suggest Jennifer V. And if you really want to cool down, Brandy B. says you must head to the Casey Jr. Splash ‘n Soak Station just outside Dumbo the Flying Elephant. “Casey Jr. doesn’t just think he can cool you off, he knows he can!” For more information on staying cool at the Walt Disney World Resort, be sure to visit DisneyParksMomsPanel.com for a personalized response from our knowledgeable panel.

Happy Father’s Day! As people across the globe celebrate dad today, we at runDisney are reminded of the many wonderful dads who have participated in our runDisney races. In particular, we can never forget the dad who literally went the extra mile for his son when the two participated in the Star Wars Half Marathon – The Dark Side presented by OtterBox here at Walt Disney World Resort in April. Timothy Spicer ran alongside his son Hunter as part of Hunter’s recovery from a car accident six years ago that involved head injuries that required him to relearn everyday activities, such as walking and eating. As Hunter continued to grow in strength, he and his dad began running local 5Ks, 10Ks and half marathons together. In April 2016, they signed up to conquer the power of the Dark Side and ran the inaugural Star Wars Dark Side Challenge together. But for the father-son duo, the race weekend was about more than conquering the 19.3-mile challenge. After completing the 10K and half marathon races that year, Hunter told his father, “Dad, this is going to be our race to run together,” as a triumph over his accident. Since then, Hunter and Timothy have participated in all the Star Wars Dark Side race weekends, and the entire Spicer family joins them at Walt Disney World Resort to celebrate Hunter’s recovery and enjoy their special family time together. Check out the video below to see Hunter’s inspiring journey with his father during this year’s Star Wars Half Marathon – The Dark Side weekend. For more information about upcoming runDisney races, such as the Disneyland Paris Magic Run Weekend, September 20-23, and the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend, Nov. 1-4, please visit www.rundisney.com.

Happy Saturday! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re talkin’ ’bout BURGERS! Lobster Thermidor Burger at Grand Floridian Cafe The burger scene in Disney World, believe it or not, has really changed over the past couple of years…. and for the better, at that. So we thought this would be a great time to share what we think are the best burgers in Disney World with nods to some longtime favorites as well as some limited run get-‘em-while-you-can-right-now burgers.

We never turn down an opportunity to visit Walt Disney World’s Epcot, and one of our favorite Epcot activities is checking out the new eats. Refreshment Port, located on the path between World Showcase and Future World, is a convenient spot to grab a quick bite. Epcot Beauty We were pretty thrilled when Refreshment Port introduced the Canada Pavilion’s Cheddar Cheese Soup and Cheddar Cheese Soup Poutine in January, but the menu has seen a little re-boot! Refreshment Port Guests can still get their hands on some Signature Poutine — a version that is made with Canadian Cheddar and Bacon Sauce (a/k/a Cheddar Cheese Soup!) — and on the popular Croissant Doughnut. Refreshment Port Menu, June 2018 And the Stowaway Mary? We loved this drink that came with chicken nuggets, but even this crazy concoction didn’t survive the latest update — not exactly. Stow Away Mary The Stowaway Mary now comes with a Jumbo Shrimp and a stick of Beef Jerky. How’s that for a funky new look (and taste!)? Stowaway Mary But I was pretty excited to find Traditional Poutine on the menu now! This classic is a pile of French Fries, some Brown Gravy, and squeaky Cheese Curds — totally traditional elements of Quebecois poutine. Classic Poutine And it’s as good as it sounds. No bells. No whistles. Just the right elements for a (slightly heavy) delicious snack! My only critique here was that the cheese curds are super cold, so even though the gravy is SUPER hot, it can’t make the curds as melty as they should be. The flavors are all there — and really delicious — but the cold cheese curds hurts the dish a bit for sure. Classic Poutine Dear Refreshment Port, we appreciate you. Thanks for bringing us some convenient Traditional Poutine, fried dough, alcohol with beef jerky in it, and cheddar cheese in liquid form.

Happy Father’s Day! I have to brag on my dad. He is awesomely unique. When I was growing up he was “Mr. Mom.” He took me to school, cooked dinners and even learned to braid my hair. Thanks so much Dad! Artist, Brittany Ungvarsky, created a wallpaper featuring another fun and quirky dad from the Disney family – Lewis Robinson from the Disney movie, “Meet the Robinsons”! Lewis is shown here with his son, Wilbur, from the future (spoiler alert!). Cheers to all the dad’s out there! To choose a design, simply click on the image.

The Diamond Horseshoe in Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland at Walt Disney World has had a bit of an identity crisis over the years. Learn About: Diamond Horseshoe Magic Kingdom Disney World Restaurants Formerly a seasonal counter service spot, the restaurant is now a seasonal table service location. And while Diamond Horseshoe was once home only to an all-you-care-to-enjoy platter (which began as a temporary offering back in 2016), it was announced that beginning May 16, the menu would also include some a la carte options. And that’s where Diamond Horseshoe stands today: it’s open seasonally and with limited hours (typically 1PM to 7PM), serving table service eats with both an a la carte and all-you-care-to-enjoy menu. And with the advent of the 2018 Disney Dining Plan’s alcohol-included policy, diners can now enjoy a glass of wine or beer with their meals as well. But with the cycles of Diamond Horseshoe’s menu life seemingly always up in the air, this Magic Kingdom staple has maintained its Old West style and laid back atmosphere. And after my most recent visit, I might say that’s the best thing Diamond Horseshoe has going for it. Diamond Horseshoe Atmosphere Diamond Horseshoe is a rootin’, tootin’ kind of spot, holding fast to its frontier styling in Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland. And we love it for that. Diamond. Horseshoe. Diamond Horseshoe! All the signage for the restaurant features its classic dark red background and gold stylized writing. Guests curious about the menu can catch a sneak peak outside on the restaurant’s comfortable porch. And while that menu purports “fancy dining,” there’s no need to don your Disney dining best. Exterior Menu The “fancy” comes in the ornate moldings, brass details, and luxurious swag stage curtains. But seating is in padded wooden chairs around standard circular tables. Nothing so elegant that you can’t drop a little BBQ sauce on it, as is wont to happen. Take a look around! The highlight of the space is the old fashioned player piano that holds court on the snazzy stage. The piano plays from time to time throughout your meal. Stage Wall treatments and artwork also give us old timey vibes. Wall Treatments and Old Pictures The table setting at Diamond Horseshoe is simple: red table cloth, gingham napkins, utensils. No frills — and no thrills. Table Setting You’ll also see wine glasses set out should you need them. Table Setting Overall, it’s cute and comfortable. Utensils and Menu But let’s see if the menu can kick things up a notch! Eats First, a look at the Beverage Menu shows some American-style alcoholic options, including Bud Light and Angry Orchard cider. There are also a few specialty drink options, including the refreshing-sounding Prairie Slushy. Beverage Menu The menu features a few different options. Sandwiches and More is the entree section. Chuck Wagon Platters offer meat and vegetable options and a choice of Two Fix ‘Ins sides. The Saloon Feast is All-You-Care-to-Enjoy and also confusingly includes a Chuck Wagon option. Eats Menu Since the a la carte menu options are new, I wanted to dig into those and see if they’re worth a visit. The Cowboy Mac is creamy mac and cheese topped with pulled pork, fried onions, and scallions. This wasn’t bad, per say, but I’ve had better (namely at the Plaza Restaurant where Brisket Mac and Cheese reigns supreme!). Cowboy Mac There is a ton of food here, though, so if you’re at Diamond Horseshoe and you’ve got a bottomless stomach to fill, this might work for you. Cowboy Mac Note that the Corn Fritters that come with the Cowboy Mac are a standout here — along with some seriously tasty BBQ Mayo for dipping! Corn Fritters These were easily my favorite part of the entire meal. Definitely load up on them if you have a chance! Corn Fritters The Chuck Wagon Saloon Feast — an All-You-Care-to-Enjoy offering — comes with plenty of meat and sides to satisfy a hangry diner. It comes with several Fix ‘Ins (sides here), including Corn on the Cob with Cheese, BBQ Baked Beans, Mac and Cheese, and Cole Slaw. Chuck Wagon The meats on the Chuck Wagon Saloon Feast are pretty hum-drum. BBQ Pulled Pork, Carved Beef Brisket, and Grilled Chicken arrive at your table family-style. Everything was fine, but mass produced. This didn’t strike me as food that was meant to savor and enjoy…it’s food to shovel in so you can get back out to the rides in the Kingdom. Chuck Wagoon Saloon Feast Meats The sides do provide some variety, and they weren’t bad. There’s just nothing here to write home about from the back of your covered wagon. The Mac and Cheese is plain and fine — good for a super picky eater who can’t stomach anything added to a mac and cheese. Mac and Cheese There’s nothing at all remarkable about the Creamy Cole Slaw. In fact, it’s not all that creamy, but it does provide some texture to the meal, and that’s always welcome. Creamy Cole Slaw If you’re looking for something to stick to your ribs, the BBQ Baked Beans will do just that. They carry some decent BBQ flavor, but since that’s sort of the overriding flavor of the meat, they’re just there in the background. BBQ Baked Beans The Corn on the Cob with Cheese is a tiny portion, but I was thankful for the freshness of this side. Corn on the Cob with Cheese Salads and cornbread came with the order as well. (Yup, there’s a lot of food with the family style Saloon Feast!) Salads and Cornbread The Potato Salad was a good portion and had some flavor with the serrano chiles. Potato Salad The House Salad was fresh and crispy — a basic salad with several types of greens that might work for someone looking to eat super light. House Salad The Watermelon Salad is the most inventive of the group, with tomatoes and cucumber in there as well. Watermelon Salad And this Jalapeno Cornbread was my other standout of the meal. I loved this, and I usually don’t like jalapeno in my cornbread. The dense, super-moist brick of bread was super sweet and I couldn’t stop eating it! Jalapeno Cornbread The Saloon Feast includes a dessert trio, and these were all pretty okay. Dessert Trio The star of the dessert trio is the Peaches and Cream Cheesecake. This layered dessert features alternating sweet peach and creamy cheesecake and a streusel topping. If I could make a meal of the corn fritters, the cornbread, and this cheesecake, I might be perfectly content. Peaches and Cream Cheesecake The Seasonal Berry Cobbler was served in a basic tart shell. But the rich berry flavor and the mint-infused whipped cream were good partners. Seasonal Berry Cobbler The Buttermilk Chocolate Cake claims to be served with a Bourbon Caramel Sauce, but that seemed not to be present. This was just an okay slice of cake. Obviously not enough frosting for me, but even if it was slathered with frosting, the cake itself was dry and flavorless. Buttermilk Chocolate Cake Of the three, stick with the Peaches and Cream Cheesecake if you’re ordering off the menu. Better yet, save your dessert calories for something seriously crave-worthy (like a Cheshire Cat Tail or a Dole Whip or a Donut Sundae…). FYI — if you order an a la carte meal and order your dessert separately, you get the same size dessert as these individual ones…and it would cost you $7. For one tiny dessert. Not even all three. Just one. Just a heads’ up. Nosh or Not? Mosey on up to Diamond Horseshoe if: You’re jonesing for an all-you-care-to-enjoy serving of heavy eats. (But, we’d SURRRRIOUSLY recommend you go next door to Liberty Tree Tavern for that instead if you can.) You can’t get an ADR anywhere else, but you want a sit-down meal. You want to enjoy a meal in a historically notable restaurant. Hitch your wagon to a different star if: You can get an ADR at literally any other table service restaurant in the Magic Kingdom. You’re not interested in the heavy, BBQ-slathered offerings. You prefer quick service so you can get your Splash Mountain on. Overall Meh. Diamond Horseshoe is fun in the sense that’s an old fixture in Frontierland and holds true to its original design. But the menu is heavy — unless you’re just hitting the salads — and it’s not done amazingly well. In fact, the best word to describe the eats is mediocre. If you’re looking for quick table service where you don’t have to schmooze with characters, maybe pop in here. But honestly, I’d probably choose just about any other table service spot in Magic Kingdom over this one again. Don’t Miss Out on Any Disney Fun!

Makamaka Means Friend Throughout the year, people from all over the world come to Hawaiʻi and Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa to enjoy our island home and immerse themselves in the aloha spirit. Often, visiting us leads to memories and friendships that last a lifetime. In Hawaiʻi, makamaka is just one of many words we use for friend. It is a special word from a time when hoʻokipa, or hospitality, was necessary for survival. If a person were on a long journey in old Hawaiʻi, there were no hotels to check-in to, or restaurants to dine at. So, hospitality among strangers was commonplace. When the visitor and guest developed a friendship through hospitality, they were more than just friends – their friendship was called makamaka. When the visitor would pass through again, or vice versa, they would be sure to pop in and say aloha again! That’s one of the best things about summer at Aulani Resort – we have Cast Members everywhere who will assist you with your needs, but also talk story and maybe even develop a friendship. Next time you make your way to Aulani Resort, head down to Pau Hana community hall and reconnect with the menehune through the Menehune Adventure Trail, or maybe learn a little bit about Hawaiian printing from our Cast Members. If you haven’t visited yet, be sure to visit Uncle at the Circle of ʻAlae ʻUla to learn some stories about our home here in Ko Olina. To all of our guests and Members – both new friends and old friends who are on the way to visit us again – be sure to take the time to meet more of our Cast Members so we can all become makamaka to one another. In other words, be our guest! A hui hou! View the full article

We’re having an Incredible Summer at Walt Disney World Resort! Thanks to “Incredibles 2,” the world has once again embraced Supers, so in honor of those heroes, Magic Kingdom Park is hosting the first ever Incredible Tomorrowland Expo. This mega fan celebration takes place daily, all around Rockettower Plaza at the center of Tomorrowland, with custom décor, special background music, heroic character appearances and loads of super fun entertainment. You may spot noted supersuit designer Edna Mode, riding atop a stylish SuperMobile and doling out compliments and fashion advice to everyone she encounters.

Catch them during the Pose-Off Procession at the main stage or wandering the Expo sharing their fandom with fellow attendees. And you can strike a pose of your own at one of the Moments in Super History photo opportunities, commemorating iconic events such as the Incredibles’ battle with the OmniDroid or saving Metroville from the Underminer’s tunneler. Each day at noon, Jack-Jack Diaper Dash gives our youngest guests a chance to show off their super speed, zipping (or crawling) to their parental sidekicks as hilarity ensues. Parents can sign up their little heroes starting at 10:30 a.m. in front of Rockettower Plaza Stage. Everything comes together with “Super Party Time,” a continuous variety show of super-powered entertainment, daily from 2 p.m. – 7 p.m. Our Party Host, DJ and Super Party Sidekicks engage Expo guests at Rockettower Plaza Stage in fun and games, with special appearances by Mr. and Mrs. Incredible and Frozone. And throughout “Super Party Time,” you’ll be introduced to up-and-coming Supers like ElectroGirl and Gyroman, showing off their skills on stage.

Last month we showed you how to treat mom to the best on a Disney Cruise, just in time for Mother’s Day. Now it’s dad’s turn to be pampered! For the father who is always there for you, there are so many special ways to help him to have fun and relax on a Disney cruise. From sports to spa time, here are a few of my favorite onboard activities especially for dad this Father’s Day … Beverage Tastings in the Onboard Lounges Whether he likes bourbon or beer or something in between, there are seminars for every dad onboard a Disney cruise — plus fun mixology classes to help everyone’s favorite party host up his game! Book this onboard activity early to ensure he doesn’t miss out on an afternoon of sampling and savoring. Fine Dining at Remy and Palo Fathers with a flair for the finer things in life can indulge in a meal to remember at Remy and Palo, our gourmet restaurants where dad can enjoy a luxury meal in an intimate, adult-only setting. You can even book him a unique experience, like champagne brunch or a wine pairing, to make the meal truly unforgettable. Sports on the High Seas For the athletic dad, staying in shape at sea is easy and fun. Offer to join him for a run: you can clock laps on the running deck or sign up for the 5k on our private island, Castaway Cay. Or take him to the open-air recreation areas for a game of ping-pong, shuffleboard or basketball. You can even challenge him to a session at the virtual sports simulator aboard the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. No matter which activity you choose, he will treasure the quality time spent doing what he loves with the ones he loves. Game on! Games at the Pub If dad is more of a sports fan than a player himself, he will find his sanctuary at sea in the ship’s pub, where he can watch his favorite teams on big screen TVs or take part in bar games like family-friendly trivia. With comfortable leather chairs and plenty of room, the pub is the perfect place for dad to hang out with the family during the day and enjoy a beer while watching the big game at night. Royal Treatment at the Spa Every dad will love a day of relaxation at Senses Spa & Salon. After a close shave and a new haircut, dad will look and feel his best, and you can upgrade his treatment to include a massage, teeth whitening or a special facial designed for men. Booking one of these services is the perfect way to help him destress and keep him looking fresh during his vacation. Whatever activities the dad in your life enjoys, there are plenty of ways for him to have fun during a Disney cruise… and not only on Father’s Day! It’s always a good day to treat dad to something special, so remember these tips to show him some extra love during your next Disney Cruise Line family adventure. View the full article

No matter which day of the week it is when you read this, we’re taking you to Sunday Supper at Enzo’s Hideaway Tunnel Bar and Restaurant! Learn About: Enzo's Hideaway Tunnel Bar and Restaurant Downtown Disney Disney World Restaurants Still somewhat new to the Disney Springs dining scene, Enzo’s Hideaway Tunnel Bar opened as one third of a trio of eateries this past January. (The Hideaway’s counterparts are Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante and Pizza Ponte). Even newer, though, is Enzo’s Sunday Supper — a special menu served from 4:00 pm – 10:00 pm every Sunday. We were able to attend a preview of this event on June 10th, but it is open in full starting this coming Sunday, June 17th. A note before we begin: you don’t need to make a special reservation for Sunday Supper. In fact, from 4:00 to 10:00 pm every Sunday moving forward, this is the only menu that will be available. So, if you’re interested in Sunday Supper, just be sure to make your Advance Dining Reservation in that window of time. Enzo’s Hideaway Tunnel Bar and Restaurant And now, let’s step underground in Disney Springs once again, for Sunday Supper at Enzo’s Hideaway Tunnel Bar! Atmosphere Since our primary purpose is checking out the new dining experience, our tour will be brief. Check-In Area for Enzo’s Hideaway Tunnel Bar But don’t worry… if you miss having the full tour, you can check out our first review of Enzo’s (which also shows you what the regular daily menu is like outside of Sunday Supper). Enzo’s Hideaway and Tunnel Bar But as a quick reminder of the setting for Sunday Supper, the story goes that Enzo — half of the storied duo behind Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante — discovered a space tucked underneath what once served as an air terminal for Disney Springs. As it turned out, the space was a hideaway during the Prohibition’s dry years for a team of flying rum-runners. Enzo’s Hideaway and Tunnel Bar Enzo’s Hideaway Tunnel Bar Decor Enzo decided to keep much of the graffiti and effects from the bygone era right as they were. Enzo’s Hideaway Tunnel Bar Graffiti Enzo’s Hideaway Tunnel Bar Graffiti And with the original decor in place, Enzo transformed the spot into a dining destination where he could serve his Italian family’s recipes. Enzo’s Hideaway and Tunnel Bar Main Dining Area Bottles lining the walls And those recipes are served not only throughout the week, but also through the new Sunday Supper at Enzo’s! Eats Sunday Supper at Enzo’s is a prix fixe meal, which will cost $45 per adult guest, or $19 for children ages 9 and under. Sunday Supper Menu Something VERY unique to Sunday Supper is that it is a “BYOB affair.” You are welcome to bring your own bottle of wine with no corkage fee! The servers will present glasses and serve your wine gladly. Sunday Supper at Enzo’s That said, you can also order from the regular beverage menus, if you prefer. Beverage Menu Beverage Menu Beverage Menu That’s what we did when we ordered two cocktails recommended by our server: the Luciano Spritz and the Hazelnut Old Fashioned. Luciano Spritz and Hazelnut Old Fashioned Both were described as being classic choices for Sunday Supper, as they are easy to drink and sip on throughout the meal, and tasty without having flavors that overpower the food. For my part, I found the Luciano Spritz — Solerno Blood Orange, blood orange juice, and Villa Sandi Prosecco — wasn’t sweet at all, though it’s a fruit-flavored cocktail. Luciano Spritz So I got the fruity notes without the overpowering sweetness — a really nice choice for an Italian meal. The Hazelnut Old Fashioned, though, was an especially lovely drink. Hazelnut Old Fashioned Very, very smooth, offering a unique flavor that also goes well with Italian food without being too distracting, While we’re on the topic of beverages… my water glass was never empty. That is to say, the servers and runners were walking around throughout the meal, making sure we had what we needed. This is a huge leap in service from our first experience at Enzo’s, and in fact, the entire atmosphere on this visit was very warm and welcoming. Goodbye Card from our Server Aside from our drinks, bread was immediately on the table along with olive oil for dipping. Bread and Olive Oil Bread and Olive Oil Then, both components of the Starter Course — the Antipasto Board and Salad — were served at the same time. Salad and Antipasto Board Starters The bowl of fresh market greens with carrots, tomatoes, and apple is finished with a balsamic oil, and makes for a great, light start with its bright flavor. Salad Starter Salad Starter But the Antipasto Board was the true highlight — and one of the highlight of the whole meal. The slices of meat were large and there was plenty on the board. Antipasto Board I especially enjoyed the large pitted olives and roasted red peppers. Antipasto Board From the get-go, we felt like we were getting a LOT of food. Antipasto Board Just in time for… MORE FOOD!!! Meats and Pasta The Meats course features Hand-crafted Meatballs, Braised Wagyu Short Rib, Sweet and Spicy Sausage, 1/2 Roasted Free Range Chicken, and Atlantic Salmon. While the Salmon and the Meats are served at the same time, the Salmon pieces are served directly on each plate by your server, with one piece for each member at the table. Atlantic Salmon It was wonderfully prepared, with great seasoning and nicely crisped on the outside. The rest of the Meats Platter has a unique set-up in that the housemade meatballs, sweet and spicy sausage, and braised beef wagyu short rib were presented in the same dish. These are served alongside the 1/2 Roasted Chicken and the Rigatoni for the Pasta Course. Meats and Pasta The Rigatoni is served served with Sunday Sauce and topped with a giving amount of parmigiano reggiano,. Rigatoni Ours was cooked perfectly with a nice firmness. We find that the al dente nature of Enzo’s pasta is on the extreme side, so if you’re not a fan of very al dente, let your server know. Rigatoni Of the housemade meatballs, sweet and spicy sausage, and braised beef wagyu short rib dish, the meatballs were, sadly, the least memorable of the three. (I say “sadly” because they were what I was looking forward to the most.) Meatballs I tasted more of the breading and seasoning than the actual meat. The Braised Wagyu Short Rib, on the other hand, was terrific. It’s cooked for at least six hours with the result that the meat was so tender no knife was required to cut it. (But isn’t that supposed to be the case with Wagyu anyway?) Short Rib Still my favorite was the incredibly flavorful sweet and spicy sausage. My only complaint was that there wasn’t more of it — just one sausage cut into halves for each person. I would’ve happily eaten much more. Meats Dish As for the 1/2 Roasted Free Range Chicken, it’s served with seasonal veggies and fingerling potatoes. And when it came out, I thought it looked amazing. 1/2 Roasted Chicken Unfortunately, though, it was a bit dry. 1/2 Roasted Chicken But the fingerling potatoes ended up being one of my favorite parts of the entire meal. They were savory and had great flavor. Fingerling Potatoes A suggestion: I might request an extra plate for this round — though you receive a clean plate between every course, I think it would have been nice to be able to plate my chicken and veggies separately from the other dishes served in this course, since I don’t think they go as well with the other meats, pasta, and sauces. Servers were so accommodating that I’m sure it would not have been a problem to request an extra plate to enjoy these flavor separately. Sunday Supper ends, of course, with something sweet. Sunday Supper Desserts Make that a few somethings sweet… Cannoli, Tiramisu, and Gelato. Upon first glance, I thought the portions could’ve been more giving, but everything was so rich and indulgent that in the end we had a hard time trying to finish everything. Tiramisu I especially enjoyed the Cannoli and its super fresh shell. Cannoli and dollop And I really loved the extra dollop of filling served on the side, which I personally enjoyed with the rich Chocolate Gelato. Gelato Bowl Not too shabby, Enzo! Nosh or Not? You might want to try Sunday Supper at Enzo’s if: You’d like to try a nice array of Italian cuisine at Enzo’s Hideaway. BYOB without a corkage fee has your name written all over it! You really want to experience the atmosphere of the Tunnel Bar, and this new event seems like it might fit the bill for you. You might want to pass on Sunday Supper at Enzo’s if: You’re not a fan of prix fixe menus, preferring to select from a full menu. (Again, the regular menu is not available during Sunday Supper.) The limited time (just 4:00 – 10:00 pm on Sundays) simply doesn’t work in your vacation plans. Overall I was a little hesitant coming into Sunday Supper based on my first experience at Enzo’s Hideaway Tunnel Bar. I was simply not impressed with my meal, and I felt the service was lacking. Granted, it was opening night for the restaurant so I can understand some confusion among the staff. But I’ve been to more than a few opening nights in my day, and it just struck me as a different level of unpreparedness. I am happy to say that this experience at Sunday Supper was MUCH different. I felt like I was getting more bang for the buck, food-wise. Even if every single item wasn’t a standout, there were more than a couple of highlights during the meal and we left quite satisfied. I also enjoyed enthusiastic and attentive service. And while I didn’t “Bring My Own Bottle” (since I was there to taste what the restaurant had to offer for review purposes), the whole BYOB scene without a corkage fee is going to be a pretty sweet perk for lots of guests. It seems like things are looking up in the Hideaway, and I’m glad to give this particular event a thumbs up. Want to stay informed of ALL the Disney News??
