food IS a theme park
There are tons of rules in Disney World, and most of them make perfect sense.
Disney Springs
Don’t run (you could get hurt), don’t be rude to Cast Members (or anyone, for that matter), and don’t wear purposefully offensive shirts. These are just a few of Disney’s rules for their theme parks. Also, some table service restaurants also have a dress code. But this rule right here? It surprised us.
*sigh* Oh how we hate when something we love gets taken away.
Steakhouse 71
No, we’re not talking about Splash Mountain (because we’re REALLY excited for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure) — we mean like how we don’t have giant pencils at Roundup Rodeo BBQ anymore because people kept stealing them (HOW?!). Yet another one of our favorite things in Disney World is gone, and this time it’s from a menu.
This is your official warning that reading this post may cause you to book a trip to EPCOT ASAP and order some colorful mimosas that’ll make everyone around you jealous.
Shimmering Sips 2023
Oh…you’re still here? Alright, well then let’s go over ALL the details you need to know. The 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has begun, and that means we’ve got lots of eats and drinks to grab, merchandise items to check out, and entertainment to see. But now we’re heading to one spot in particular — the Shimmering Sips booth — to let you know what items here are worth your visit!
If you ask us, spring is pretty much unofficial brunch season! And we’ve got some GREAT news for all the brunch lovers out there (it’s us — we’re the brunch lovers).

We love a good brunch, and while we don’t think you need a special occasion for it, we appreciate a celebratory meal as much as the next guy. Disney World is pulling out all of the stops for Easter this year, but we can’t forget that Mother’s Day is also right around the corner! If you’re looking to celebrate either of these holidays with some tasty brunch, then we have the Disney Springs spot for you!
We had a great day eating and drinking our way around the 2021 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival!
Food and Wine!
This year’s festival runs July 15th, 2021 through November 20th, 2021, and has a whopping 32 food booths. We spent our way getting our snack on at the 23 booths that opened today (the rest come later!) and we have some OPINIONS.
Whew… our trip to Disney Springs today has been PACKED with SNACKS!
Blood Orange Mimosa in Disney Springs
From a favorite returning Dole Whip Swirl to a stunning donut (no, really… get a load of this thing), we’ve been trying all sorts of specialty treats for Mother’s Day weekend. But after all those snacks, we could definitely use a SIP! And that’s what brings us to Amorette’s Patisserie, just steps away from World of Disney. [Read more…]
The best part of brunch, at least in our humble opinion, is oftentimes the cocktails.
We Checked Out the Grand Floridian After a Breakfast Reservation at Grand Floridian Cafe
Screwdrivers, Sangria, Bloody Marys, Mimosas — we love it all!
The 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is upon us! We’ve got an extra-long festival season in store this year to take in the sights, sounds, and TASTES of this new hybrid EPCOT festival!
Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival
No surprise here, but we’re most concerned with the TASTES! This year, the festival features 20 Festival Marketplaces, each with a menu full of specialty eats and drinks. We’ve eaten our way around the World (Showcase) and back again — and we have some thoughts.

We’re spending a leisurely afternoon at the 2015 Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
While we love taking a turn around World Showcase to try all the great eats, it’s always fun to take in a few of the Festival’s Special Events each year as well. And you can always count on a terrific experience when you book events in Epcot’s France Pavilion.
Join us today as we head up the spiral staircase for a special Parisian Afternoon at Monsieur Paul.
is a hidden gem in Epcot’s France Pavilion. Nope — I’m not speaking figuratively. I mean, it’s actually hidden. To find it, head back through France as though you’re going to visit Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie. It’s a little easier to find than it used to be, though, thanks to the awning that bears the restaurant’s name.
Monsieur Paul Entrance
You’ll find the check-in desk right inside the door. For Festival Special Events, the host or hostess will ask for your name, and then cross it off the printed list. At this time, you’ll head up the Art Nouveau staircase… [Read more…]
