food IS a theme park
Epcot’s 2019 Festival of the Holidays hasn’t even begun and we already have some pretty big news about the upcoming 2020 Epcot International Festival of the Arts!
Festival of the Arts Passport
As you may know, the 2020 Epcot International Festival of the Arts is a celebration of all things in the visual, art, and culinary world, with a slew of special events and experiences.
Great news for fans who love the Epcot’s Candlelight Processional at Disney World during the holidays!
We brought you news recently that booking has been available intermittently for booking 2015 Candlelight Processional Packages. And today, we wanted to share the list of narrators, and that booking for Candlelight Processional Packages is now officially open!

The Candlelight Processional features the retelling of the Christmas story by a celebrity narrator. The reading is accompanied by a robed choir and a full orchestra performing Christmas carols.
The popular event takes place three times each evening throughout the holiday season at the America Gardens Theater in Epcot’s World Showcase. This year, guests can see the performance from November 27 to December 30. On December 6, 2015, show times take place at 6:45 PM and 8:15 PM only.

We have big news from Epcot today!
With just a week to go before the opening of the 2015 Flower and Garden Festival, we have the full list of menus for the super popular Outdoor Kitchens! Mark your calendars — the Festival lasts from March 4 through May 17.
These Outdoor Kitchens, which are similar to Marketplace Booths that dominate the Epcot Food and Wine Festival, feature delicious small plates that allow you to taste fresh flavors from the garden.

There are lots and lots of new things to try. A brand new Outdoor Kitchen will debut in 2015. Botanas Botánico will be located between the France and Morocco Pavilions and will feature food and drink with a Venezuelan influence.
Sadly, we’ve also confirmed that one of our favorites, [Read more…]
Merry Christmas Everyone!!! I hope you’re having a fantastic day!
Here at DFB, we couldn’t let the day pass without showing you one more stop on our Holidays Around the World tour! Today’s stop takes us back to Promenade Refreshments.

There are some fun holiday options available at this stop just outside of World Showcase, including Seasonal Beer, special Hot Chocolate, and even Frozen Yogurt dressed up for the festivities. But we are, of course, here for the Waffle! Let’s take a look.
Last year, Promenade Refreshments featured two different holiday waffles — a Stuffing Waffle with Turkey, Cranberries, and Gravy, provided savory flavors. A Sweet Potato Waffle with all of the ingredients of the popular holiday casserole served as a dessert option. This year, they (sadly) decided to simplify and offer only one waffle, but with elements of both. (Don’t worry. They left out the marshmallows.)
Why do we say sadly? Well, because we really liked both of the holiday waffle entries last year.

And this year’s is a decidedly different animal, with both good and not-our-favorite components. The 2014 version features a Sweet Potato Waffle with Turkey, Green Bean Casserole, and Crispy Fried Onions.
So — Sweet Potato Waffle: Really Awesome. Turkey — Awesome. Green Bean Casserole — Ummmm?
Holiday Waffle — Another Angle
I can think of many, many ways Disney could have gone with this. The Cranberry Relish on last year’s waffle was brilliant. And there’s always [Read more…]
