First, we tried the Candy Jar Donut. That is a donut with M&M’s, SNICKERS, and TWIX. I did not like this donut because the donut had too much sugar. I think I would have liked the Candy Jar Donut better if it only had M&Ms or only had SNICKERS or only had TWIX.
Then, we had the Chef’s Donut of the Day. (Note: I got the Lemon Blueberry Donut in July 2021, so when you get the Chef’s Donut of the Day it will not be the same as mine.) It was delicious! You can really taste the lemon in this donut.

First, we had the Taco de Ribeye. That is a shaved ribeye with red onions and poblano peppers on a corn tortilla with salsa, cotija cheese, and chives. If you are a fan of tortillas, you will enjoy this dish!
Next, we tried the Chilaquiles con Chorizo. That is crispy corn tortillas with salsa verde, monterey jack, and topped with crema Mexicana, Queso Cotija, pickled onions, and ground chorizo. It was delicious! All the different flavors tasted really good together, but I liked the Taco de Ribeye more.
I give the Mexico booth 5 Mickey Bars! If you are heading to the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, you should definitely try this booth!
I will warn you that the France booth is a VERY popular food booth and it will have very long lines. My advice would be to go to the France booth early so you don’t have to wait in a very long line.
Here is a picture of the menu:
First, we tried the Beignet aux Trois Fromages. That is a warm beignet filled with three cheeses. I was disappointed in this dish. The cheese just didn’t taste that good.
My parents tried the Coq au Vin, Pommes Dauphine. They enjoyed it.

Appleseed Orchard is a great booth to visit because it is indoors!
Here is a picture of the menu:
Appleseed Orchard is located where the O’Canada! show usually plays which is disappointing because the O’Canada! show is not running now.
I had the Frozen Apple Pie. I was nervous that I would not like it since I am not a fan of apple pie, but I enjoyed it because it doesn’t taste like apple pie! It tastes like a refreshing apple smoothie.
Al had the Cinnamon Apple Cider. He really liked it. Al said that the Cinnamon Apple Cider tastes like apple juice.
We tried the Schinkennudeln. That is pasta gratin with ham, onions, and cheese. I did not like it because I do not like onions and you can taste a lot of onions in this dish. If you do like onions, then you should try this dish.
Then we tried the Roast Bratwurst. That is a sausage in a pretzel roll. The sausage was outstanding. I also liked how it comes in a pretzel roll instead of a regular roll because it gives the dish more flavor.
For dessert we had the Apple Strudel. I did not really like it because it tasted like apple pie and I don’t like apple pie.
