We’ve successfully made it through the FIRST DAY of the 2019 Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
From now through November 23rd, the Festival will offer a variety of culinary events around Walt Disney World’s Epcot. Of course, the bites and sips from the Food Booths are a festival highlight. Not sure what items to sample? Here are our Best of the Fest recommendations!
2019 Epcot Food and Wine Festival Passport
If you’re planning a visit to this year’s Festival, then you’ll want to start putting together your MUST EAT list… and that’s where we come in! The DFB Team taste-tested every item at the Festival to show you the items you can’t miss!
Are you ready? Because it’s time to DIG in!
Let’s start with warm cheese at The Alps! This one is an AJ favorite!! You guys know that I lived in Switzerland for a year, and raclette (melty raclette cheese poured over bread, boiled potatoes, gherkins, and other goodies) as a staple.
Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese
And Disney’s actually done a great job with it here! The half-wheel of raclette is melted right in the booth, and shaved off beautifully onto the veggies and bread. Pungent and delicious, this one is a must-do for my cheese-fans out there.
is serving a Spanish-style Paella with Botifarra and Roasted Chicken with a little bit of heat! Flavorful and cooked to perfection!!

If you’re looking for a larger portion, this is a great buy.
For Islands of the Caribbean, Jerk-spiced Chicken with Roasted Sweet Plantain Salad and Mango Chutney Yogurt is a stand-out!
Jerk-spiced Chicken with Roasted Sweet Plantain Salad and Mango Chutney Yogurt
While this dish hasn’t wowed us in previous years, this time around the chicken is cooked on an outdoor grill! You WILL taste the difference. It was a DFB team favorite!
For a refreshing beverage, stop by Joffrey’s for a Citrus Sunshine in Canada. Opt for this drink over the Aulani Sunrise at Hawai’i.

At the Odyssey cart by Joffrey’s, we like the Chai-quila.

At Australia, the Roasted Lamb Chop had great flavors. It’s a twist on the lamb chops of the past at this booth and we loved the update.
Roasted Lamb Chop with Sweet Potato Puree
For a not-too-sweet dessert, one member of the DFB team really enjoyed the lightness of this option.
Deconstructed Pavlova
The Spicy Hummus Fries at Morocco were delicious, as always, even with the sauce update — we needed more sauce, though!

The flatbread (it was a taco) had a really good kick to it!
NY Strip Steak Green Shermoula Flatbread
Let’s look at two returning favorites. First, The Cheese Studio is worth a visit for the Maple Bourbon Boursin Cheesecake.
Maple Bourbon Boursin Cheesecake
This creamy, decadent treat is made better-than-your-usual-cheesecake (and that’s saying something!!) thanks to that hint of bourbon in the caramel sauce.
BUT, the Sparkling Blueberry Wine by Florida Orange Groves Winery wowed us again! [Read more…]
Do you need that extra morning caffeine jolt to launch into your Disney day?
Joffrey’s Revive Kiosk in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland
Thankfully, you don’t have to go far to get your caffeine fix in Disney World! From getting a Mickey printed on top of your coffee to choosing a giant donut to go with it, Disney can make your average cup o’ Joe way more interesting! Today, we found ANOTHER great drink to recharge your batteries in Magic Kingdom.
We’re always on the lookout for FREE opportunities or treats around Walt Disney World.
Joffrey’s Revive sign
But honestly, they can sometimes be few and far between. When we spotted one today, we decided that we just had to share it! So, follow along to discover how to score a free cup of joe from Joffrey’s Coffee this week.
Welcome to Epcot
, where the future is now, and you can travel the world in about a one-mile-long stroll! We’re bringing you What’s New from the Park, including a brownie you’ve got to see to believe, construction progress that’s creeping along, and a view from the literal future!
Welcome to Epcot!
First things first, we reported recently that Electric Umbrella will be closing later this year. [Read more…]
Joffrey’s
is a good bet for coffee in the Disney Parks, but more often than not, we’re stopping by these coffee stands to see what they’ve got for snacks. And the Joffrey’s stand near Pin Traders in Epcot’s World Showcase is bringing it today!
Peanut Butter Brownie
Yes, by it we mean an ooey-gooey Peanut Butter Brownie. [Read more…]
It’s no secret that the donuts from Joffrey’s are pretty spectacular. They are huge, delicious and unique, like these donuts currently available for Pride Month!
Joffrey’s Pride Donuts
If you thought the Joffrey’s donuts were awesome (and even Instagram-worthy) before, they are about to become even more so… because at Joffrey’s in Disney Springs, customers now have the option to customize Boston Cream Donuts with Disney character art!
Disney Springs is the place to be right now! There are brand new menus, menu updates, sweet mini additions, new merchandise, a new store, sweets for your sweetheart, and even Easter treats!!
Welcome to Disney Springs The Art Corner!
There’s a brand new, fun, and interactive store in Disney Springs as well as a ton of other changes! See everything we found this week!
Joffrey’s is known for their giant Donut King donuts — but guess what we found there today: MINI Donuts!
Yep, Joffreys did it! They now they offer some super fresh, amazing looking, and yummy mini-donuts.
New Joffrey’s Mini Donuts
We found these delightful mini donuts on their very first day being offered at Joffrey’s Tea Traders in Disney Springs. You’ve got to see these, because with names like Love Bug, Unicorn, Cookies & Cream, Snickers, and more you know they will be something to see (and try!).
Epcot is busy with the International Festival of the Arts starting this Friday — we’ll be reporting live from opening day — but we still found new must-have food-themed merchandise being added to the shops as well as new drinks, sweet eats, teas, and construction progress — we’ve got it all covered!
