Our Favorites from the 2021 Epcot International Food and Festival!

This past weekend the kids and I were at Epcot for the first weekend of the 2021 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival. We had an amazing time and had some amazing food, too. The festival started on July 15 and runs through November 20, 2021.There’s LOTS of time to enjoy all of the amazing dishes.

Throughout World Showcase there are locations to get festival merchandise.

As the name of the Festival implies, there are TONS of amazing food and beverage options throughout Epcot. At the moment, there are a few festival marketplaces that aren’t open yet, they will open on October 1st. Once all of the marketplaces there will be more than 30 locations offering Food and Wine Festival eats and drinks.

During our time at the festival we tried 13 different food items. They were all really good, but there are a few that I would recommend over the others if you only had room in your budget, or your stomach, for a few eats.

Beignet aux Trois Fromages – If you’re fan of cheese, this cheesy, béchamel filled beignet is for you.

Candy Jar Donut – Do you like chocolate? This donut is topped with Twix, M&Ms and Snickers. Yum!

Crispy Chicken on a Sriracha-glazed Donut – This donut chicken sandwich is a mix of sweet and spicy. It’s surprisingly good.

Griddled Cheese – This dish is drizzled with honey and topped with pistachios. It’s like cheeseboard in a single, small dish. So good!

Maple Boursin Cheesecake – This cheesecake is like eating pancakes with maple syrup. Amazing.

 

Also part of the festival is Emile’s Fromage Montage. We enjoyed the five cheese dishes for this event, and really enjoyed the completer prize as well!

 

Additionally, we found Remy all over the festival as part of Remy’s Ratatouille Hide and Squeak.

 

We really enjoyed our time at the festival, and we hope to get back again before it ends in November!

 

Do you have a dish you’re most looking forward to trying at this year’s festival?

We Used Genie+ for the First Time. What did we Think?!

Back in June my sister, Sharon, and I took a girls trip to Disney World! It was a fun trip, and for the first time since it came out, we used Genie+. Today, we're going to share our thoughts about the experience.  What is Genie+?!  Genie+ is the paid for "skip the standyby line" option that replaced Fastpass+. It debuted on October 1, 2021 on the first day of the 50th Anniversary Celebration. This is what the Walt Disney World website says about the service, " Use the Lightning Lane entrances offered through Disney Genie+ service and save time waiting in line. On average, Guests can enter 2 to 3 attractions or experiences per day using Lightning Lane entrances, if the first selection is made early in the day." There is also a second option, Individual Attraction Selection. The Disney World site says, " You may also purchase individual—or à la carte—Lightning Lane entry selections for specific attractions that aren’t offered through Disney Genie+ service. Pu

Dinner at Royal Court on the Disney Fantasy

We’ve mentioned more than a few times that each of the four Disney ships has three main dining rooms. All four ships have the fun Animator’s Palate that we talked about a couple of weeks ago, as well as a themed dining rooms on the Magic and Wonder (Rapunzel’s and Tiana’s) and Enchanted Garden on the Dream and Fantasy. We’ll talk about Enchanted Garden in our next Disney Cruise Line focused post! This week, though, we’re excited to talk about the third main dining room on the Disney Fantasy, Royal Court. Royal Court, like Royal Palace on the Dream, Triton’s on the Wonder, and Lumiere’s on the Magic is the most upscale of the three main dining rooms. Located right off the main lobby Royal Court is a grand dining room that celebrates Disney’s royal couples. Throughout the dining room there are mosaics of Disney Princess and their princes including Belle and Beast,  Jasmine and Aladdin, Tiana and Naveen, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Aurora and Phillip, Ariel and Eric, and Snow Wh
