food IS a theme park
There seem to be a lot of changes going on at the Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival booths this year!
Islands of the Caribbean
Not only are some booths open some days and closed the next, but we’re seeing a lot of changes on booth menus, both with food and drinks!
As much as we love eating allllll the snacks, we also enjoy sipping on the many delicious drinks we’ve found around Disney World!
Hot Whiskey
So, we like to keep an eye out for new beers, cocktails (like these Halloween drinks!), wines, whiskies, and everything else boozy that pops up in Disney World!
When it comes to boozy drinks, we’ve tried out a lot!
Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue
From checking out a new lager at the China Booth to seeing what’s up with the latest Halloween concoction, we’re going to let you know what’s good (and what’s not so great).
The Polite Pig at Disney Springs might be known for its delicious barbecue dishes, but it’s also a great spot to grab some awesome boozy drinks!
The Polite Pig at Disney Springs
Take it from us — we’ve tried a few of those drinks! From the Peach Bourbon Lemonade to the Florida Mango Frosé, we’ve enjoyed some impressive concoctions at The Polite Pig.
One thing we love about the 2020 EPCOT Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is that we get to try a lot of boozy drinks from around the world!
Appleseed Orchard Beers
So when we noticed a new beer over at the China Booth, we thought, “Hey, let’s try that!”
When Disney World reopened, many of its bars remained closed due to a Florida ban on establishments that made 50% or more of their sales on alcohol.
Enoteco Castello at EPCOT
Florida recently lifted that ban, allowing bars to reopen at 50% capacity, as well as allowing them to serve glasses of alcohol and beer. And now we’re starting to see some Disney World bars reopening, too!
In light of recent events, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation has announced a statewide ban of on-premises alcohol consumption at bars, effective immediately.
Disney Springs
Since we’re currently at Disney Springs, we’ve been able to speak with a few Cast Members to see what implications this order has on Disney World.
When menus were released by Disney World earlier this month for its Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge dining locations, there was one notable absence: alcoholic beverages. Love it or hate it, Walt Disney World restaurants typically serve adult beverages, and we expected to see some appear on the World’s Docking Bay 7 Food & Cargo and Ronto Roasters menus.
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo
And now, with under a month left until the 14-acre land opens to the public, online menus have been updated for both eateries. Now two specialty alcoholic drinks have been added for both Docking Bay and Ronto Roasters.
Bonjour
from France! Epcot’s France pavilion, that is. This is where where we spotted a new refreshing-sounding beverage at Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie this week that we just had to try now that the Florida summer heat is most definitely upon us.
Frosé
Introducing the all new Frosé!
It was HUGE NEWS when it was announced that four Table Service restaurants in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom would start serving alcoholic beverages in late December 2016.
Glass of Wine at Be Our Guest Restaurant
Why? Because — with the exception of Dinner at Be Our Guest Restaurant which opened in late 2012 — Magic Kingdom had always been a dry park, in keeping tradition with Walt Disney’s wishes for his original park, Disneyland.
And that’s why it remains relatively big news today that Crystal Palace and The Plaza Restaurant in Magic Kingdom have both just begun serving alcohol as well, with a selection of beer, wine, and a specialty cocktail at each location.
