Like the Bugs ‘n’ Grub Ice Cream Cone, another bug-covered treat has crawled into Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Restaurantosaurus
And today, we’re heading over to Restaurantosaurus at Animal Kingdom to check out a new creepy, crawly (yet sweet!) treat!

We may not have made it to Halloween just yet, but visions of sugar plums are already dancing in our heads!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party welcomed its first guests of the season tonight, and we were among those who came ready to party. And by party, we mean eat!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
That’s because Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicks off a season of often intricate and always creative Halloween treats, some of them exclusive to the Party and others available all day every day (which, by the way, is our preferred schedule of eating snacks).
Bonjour from France — well, Epcot’s France, of course! The French Pavilion has long been a favorite of ours — and recently they have crushed it (as always) with treats like the Frosé and the new version of the Frangipane!
Les Halles Frose
But today, we are sharing something food related — though not edible. We were strolling through France when we spotted the CUTEST jacket that we just HAD to share with you ASAP!

No trip to Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square is quite complete without a stop at the land’s quick service restaurant, Columbia Harbour House, or a meal at Liberty Tree Tavern, Liberty Square’s table service option.
Liberty Tree Tavern
And Liberty Tree Tavern just so happens to be our stop for lunch today. We can never resist some of the old favorites here… but there’s also a Secret Menu item that we have to let you know about!
Liberty Tree Tavern brings guests into the American Revolutionary era, well in keeping with Liberty Square. [Read more…]

There is so much to SEE, HEAR, and TASTE at the brand new Festival of the Arts in Epcot!
This celebration of the Arts — with a focus on the disciplines of Culinary, Visual, and Performing Arts — is currently up and running on Fridays through Mondays from now until February 20th. So that gives you six weekends to SEE works of art on display at exhibits and galleries featuring works by Disney artists, HEAR live music performed by local high schools and universities as well as Broadway talent, and TASTE dishes and drinks at the Festival’s Food Studios!
It’s HERE!! Spring has sprung and the 2015 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival has officially begun, bringing all the topiaries, musical fun, and FOOD along with it!
We’ve been spending the day taking in the sights, and — more importantly 😉 — all the tastes at every single one of the Food Booths! You can see the full menus for this year’s booths here!
For the third year running, the Flower and Garden Festival is offering Outdoor Kitchens (food booths similar to the Food & Wine Festival Marketplace booths), with a springtime focus on fresh-from-the-garden flavors.
Now, we’d like to show you some of the best of this year’s best! So, grab your passport and LET’S GO!

We’ve got two standouts here that we want to let you know about right away! Cachapas con Queso is a sweet yellow corn pancake topped with Farmer’s Cheese. This just-sweet-enough dish is pleasantly rich, too.

The White Corn Arepa doesn’t disappoint, either, with the tasty braised beef providing lots of bang for the buck.

That said, we’re happy to say that everything at this new booth was fresh and delicious!
Head to Urban Farm Eats for the Quinoa “Naanwich,” a nice vegetarian surprise packed with flavor, thanks to the arugula pesto and sun-dried tomatoes.

A salad as a DFB favorite? Who woulda thunk 😉 ? We were pleasantly surprised by the full range of flavors presented in the Kale Salad with the dried cherries and goat cheese, along with a nice crunch from the hearty helping of almonds.

We also reeeeeeally enjoyed the Crispin Blackberry Pear Cider here, finding it fresh, and fairly dry.

It was love at first sight — and taste! — with the Ice Pop cocktail-on-a-stick at Fleur de Lys! A cold and delicious mix of Grand Marnier Peach Raspberry Liqueur, Vodka, and Iced Tea — all wrapped up in a nostalgic package!
