food IS a theme park
There’s been a lot of anticipation happening over at Epcot’s American pavilion with Regal Eagle Smokehouse opening any day now…

But while it looks like we’ll be waiting a little longer to experience Disney World’s newest barbeque joint, we DON’T have to wait any longer for the new Art of Disney store! It’s now open, so let’s check it out!
We’ve had a busy weekend checking out all of the tasty treats at the 2019 Epcot International Festival of the Holidays!
American Adventure
And we’ve seen a bunch of good eats LIVE around the World Showcase, but we’ve spotted one that’s DEFINITELY the biggest and it’s not exactly for eating. That’s right, the American Adventure Gingerbread display is here for 2019!
So many new restaurants are coming to Epcot!

With Space 220, La Creperie de Paris, and even a new gelato and sorbet kiosk all coming to the park soon, we’re always on the lookout for opening dates. Well, today we finally spotted one! Regal Eagle is the brand new restaurant coming to the American Adventure Pavilion in World Showcase and we officially have an opening MONTH, people!
We announced earlier this year that Epcot’s Liberty Inn in the American Adventure Pavilion would be closing to make way for a new fast-casual BBQ and craft brews experience.

Today, Disney has shared the news that Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue will be coming to Epcot this WINTER and released a first look at several menu items.
There’s something so special about the magnificent gingerbread houses at Disney World during the holidays!

Is it that they’re positively MASSIVE? Or maybe its the level of detail that the Disney pastry artists put into these magical cookie-based creations? Whatever the reason, we keep coming back year after year to see the awesome gingerbread artwork to be found around Disney World. And if you’re like us, you won’t want to miss out on any of this year’s displays!
We’re STILL recovering from the onslaught of information that came out of D23 Expo 2019.

We’ve got a lot to cover today, including new merchandise, food updates, and more! Let’s get started.
You never know exactly what you’ll find at Heritage Manor Gifts at The American Adventure Pavilion in Epcot!
Heritage Manor Gifts
This merchandise shop has been home to a variety of items from flavored moonshine to a full array of apparel and home goods representing each of the 50 United States.
It’s been a while, though, since they’ve had any large selection of snacks in stock. For a time, Claey’s Old Fashioned Hard Candy was one of the sole treats you could find here. So on our recent visit, we were surprised to see a whole new batch. [Read more…]
Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival
is a fabulous opportunity to eat lots of great food and to drink lots of great drinks. And while we know we’ll be putting some of our returning favorites on our must-eat list — we also make a second list: New Stuff We Can’t Wait to Try! (Yeah, we’re all about lists here at DFB!)

And this is that list — including a few items we got the chance to sample recently!
The new Guinness Bailey’s Shake from the Ireland booth got us all kinds of excited when we saw it on the menu! We were expecting a frozen, creamy drink with a powerful hit of Guinness and Baileys — and that’s just what we got when we tried it during a preview! PLUS it comes with the glass! We can’t wait to try it again!

The Shimmering Sips Mimosa Bar is brand new this year, and the offerings sound incredible! Mimosas include varieties like the Tropical Mimosa and the Madras Mimosa (which we have tried!), and there’s a tasty-sounding, kid-friendly drink called Frozen Apple Pie!
Madras Mimosa
But aside from those intriguing drinks, the Mimosa Bar is also serving up pastries like an Almond Croissant and a Cheese Danish with Sweet Icing! One of each, please! [Read more…]
