Chefs de France is located in the France pavilion in Epcot.
This last August was my first time going to Chefs de France since I was really little.
First they give you a baguette.
I ate the Gratin de Macaroni. It was really good and I would really recommend getting it because it tastes a lot better than Kraft Macaroni.
YUM!!!
My mom ate Lasagnes de Legumes du Soleil a l’Huile d’Olive au Thym. That is zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes baked into pasta. She thought her food tasted delicious.
My dad ate Assiette du Pecheur. That is monkfish, shrimp, cod fish, rice pilaf, peas, and tomatoes. My dad thought it was okay.
My brother had chicken with french fries from the kids menu. He thought his food was good too.
I give Chefs de France 5 Mickey Bars!!
The food tasted good and I don’t remember it taking a long time to get our food.

The Edison is a restaurant located in Disney Springs.
The restaurant plays old shows that are black and white all over the walls with a projector. It is actually really cool and makes The Edison unique.
I decided to get the pot of macaroni and cheese on the kid’s menu. If you are not very hungry or just don’t eat a lot of food, I would recommend getting the macaroni and cheese on the kid’s menu because then you do not waste a ton of food.
They give you the macaroni and cheese in a pot!
I also had a salad.
I ate some fruit too.
My mom had Oh Bacon Baked Mac and Cheese from the adult menu. It is made with crispy maple black pepper bacon baked with cavatappi pasta, melted fontina, muenster, cheddar, and alpine Swiss. Her macaroni and cheese was DELICIOUS but GINORMOUS! It was too much food.
My dad also had macaroni and cheese but his was called Swine and Cheese Baked Mac and Cheese. His dish was the same as my mom’s except that it had 24-hour slow-roasted hand-pulled BBQ pork shoulder instead of bacon. He said that he liked my mom’s macaroni and cheese with bacon better, his was a little dry. My dad also agrees with my mom that it was way too much food. They both had a lot of food left over.
My brother had a grilled cheese sandwich with french fries from the kids menu. He thought it was delicious.
If you would like to order anything on the adult menu for dessert here is the menu.
My meal came with a choice of either a free chocolate chip cookie or vanilla ice cream. I ate the chocolate chip cookie and it was good.
My brother’s meal also came with a free dessert so he decided to get vanilla ice cream.
I give The Edison 4 Mickey bars!!
The Edison has 4 Mickey bars because my parents had WAY too much food. Besides that though everything else was fine.
2019 is almost over and I thought it would be a good idea to review everything new that happened in Disney World this past year. The list is so long that I will be making a part two.
Back in early January of 2019 Disney announced an offer for free dining! It was for stays between July 5, 2019 and September 30, 2019. You had to sign up for the free dining offer and stay for a minimum of 4 nights. You can no longer use this free dining offer, but if you are curious to learn more about the free dining offer click here!
In March Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy opened. I even was able to go on the ride back in August! Basically, Lightning McQueen teaches the next set of rookies (you) to become awesome racers but something happens! If you want to know what happens go to the ride in Hollywood Studios!
In April, Haunted Mansion started having an on-ride photo. That means that when you ride the Haunted Mansion while wearing your MagicBand a camera will take a picture of you and you will see a Haunted Mansion themed photo. Click here to learn more about that!
Also in April, Disney banned oversized strollers. They now need to be no larger than 31 inches wide and 52 inches long. If you would like to know more about this rule click here!
In May, you could buy Mickey Bars at your local supermarket. They were delicious! They are no longer available. If you would like to see me review this delicious treat click here!
In June the parking rates for overnight guests at Disney World Resort hotels rose, prices on reusable shopping bags rose, and annual passholder prices rose.
You can learn more about the raise in parking rates here, you can learn more about the rise in price for reusable shopping bags here, and the rise in annual passholder prices here.
California Grill is located in the Contemporary Resort. We went to California Grill last time I went to Disney World. Did I enjoy it?
They gave us bread.
DELICIOUS!!!!!
They also gave us an assortment of cheeses.
It looks really pretty!
Here is a list of the cheeses.
I had the wood-burning oven pepperoni pizza with no basil oregano pistou. It was really good!
My mom got the exact same thing as me except with basil oregano pistou.
My dad had the Oak Fired Filet of Beef. He liked it.
My brother got the cheese pizza from the kids menu.
For dessert my mom and I had the Warm Valrohna Chocolate Cake. It comes with one scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate whipped panna cotta. IT WAS SO GOOD!!!!!
My dad and brother had for dessert Plant-Based Lavender Donuts. They liked them. (One of the donuts contains alcohol so make sure you know which one this one is so you do not eat it. My brother did NOT eat the alcohol donut. My dad ate it.)
I give California Grill 4 Mickey Bars! The food took way too long but you get a great view of the fireworks and California Grill has a balcony so you can watch the fireworks.
Chef Mickey’s is located in The Contemporary Resort. Back in August, I went to Chef Mickey’s for the first time.
The moneral is in the background!
Chef Mickey’s is a buffet. A buffet means that the chefs put out the food and you have to get it yourself.
I had macaroni and cheese, a croissant, and piece of turkey.
My food!
It was okay but not extraordinary or something so good that I would have seconds. My mom had macaroni and cheese, meatballs, green beans, a salad, and tater tots. She said it was okay.
My moms food!
My dad had shrimp, corn, tater tots, turkey, asparagus, beef, and olives. He thought it was good.
My dad’s food!
My brother had chicken tenders, tater tots, a hot dog, shrimp, and turkey. “It was good,” he said.
Al’s food!
Another thing that is really cool about Chef Mickey’s is that while you are eating Chef Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, and Donald all come to take pictures with you at your table.
Pluto!
They are all dressed up like chefs!
Donald!
Can you tell?
Goofy!
Minnie!
The star of the restaurant, Chef Mickey!
I give Chef Mickey’s two Mickey bars! We all agreed that the food was only okay. A pro to Chef Mickey’s though is that you get to see Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, and Donald all dressed up. The people at Chef Mickey’s make sure you see all the characters before you finish your meal. A con is that we waited for an hour to get seated. When we complained the people that work at Chef Mickey’s gave us a FastPass+ to make up for the wait.
Christmas is coming to Epcot! From the Holiday Cookie Stroll to the Candlelight Processional there are many reasons to be merry!
The Holiday Cookie Stroll is back! The Holiday Cookie Stroll is when you get to try different delicious cookies during the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays. There is even a sweet offer! When you buy five cookies, and get a matching stamp for each one of the cookies, you can go to the Holiday Kitchen and get a cookie!
There is also the famous Candlelight Processional. It is a holiday event that takes place every year at Epcot. A celebrity hosts the event and tells the story of Christmas along with a choir and a fifty piece orchestra.
Here are the celebrities that will be the narrators at the Candelight Processional.
Casey’s Corner is supposed to look like an old baseball stadium.
The menu.
I had the hot dog with nothing on it. It was not that good to be completely honest with you. I think the hot dogs I make at my house are better.
My hot dog next to my brothers.
My dad had the Corn Dog Nuggets. My dad did not like the Corn Dog Nuggets.
The Corn Nuggets.
My mom and brother got the hot dogs too. My brother and mom agreed with me.
My mom’s hot dogs with onions.
Another problem about Casey’s Corner is that there is not enough seating. We looked in and outside of the restaurant for seating and struggled to find a spot. (Casey’s Corner has outside seating and indoor seating.)
For dessert I had Mickey’s Celebration Brownie. This was my favorite thing at Casey’s Corner! The brownie tastes nice and fudgy. Note: Mickey’s Celebration Brownie is NOT available anymore. It was available for Mickey’s Surprise Celebration which ended on September 30, 2019.
PizzeRizzo is in Hollywood Studios and yes, they sell pizza. Did I like Rizzo the rat from the Muppets pizza? Keep reading to find out!
First, you order your food and then find a table to sit at. You can also buy the Souvenir Alien Sipper Cup! It turns on and starts to glow!
I got the cheese pizza. It was really good. The only problem is it’s not enough food. I would recommend getting two if you are really hungry like I was.
The cheese pizza also comes with a Caesar Salad. It was pretty good.
My mom got the meatball sub. She also really enjoyed it.
Her meatball sub also came with a Caesar salad.
My brother also got a cheese pizza and my dad got a pepperoni pizza. They both enjoyed their meals. My dad’s pepperoni pizza also came with a Caesar Salad. (My brother’s didn’t because he ordered from the kids menu.)
My brother’s cheese pizza is on the left and my dad’s pepperoni pizza is on the right.
Be Our Guest is in Magic Kingdom and I went there on my last trip to Disney World.
Before we talk about the food I would like to talk about the atmosphere. You get to dine in Beauty and the Beast’s castle!
You can choose to eat in either the ballroom, the Beast’s room, or the library. We sat in the library.
Before you get your food they give you bread.
When you eat dinner at Be Our Guest you eat a three course meal. Appetizer, entree, and dessert. (The dessert is always the Dessert Trio Platter.) Since I am twelve I order from the adult menu. My appetizer was the Mixed Field Greens. My dad had it too. It had hazelnut brittle, fruit, and vinaigrette. I asked for mine without vinaigrette. It was really good and the best part is that it is healthy!
This is my dad’s salad with vinaigrette.
This is mine WITHOUT vinaigrette.
My mom’s appetizer was the French Onion Soup. She said it was delicious.
My brother’s appetizer was the fruit and cheese plate.
My entree was the Filet Mignon. It comes with green beans, carrots, and potatoes. My dad had it too. We both can agree it is our favorite thing on the dinner entree menu.
My mom’s entree was the Poulet Rounge Chicken. She really liked it.
My brother had the chicken breast with green beans and sweet potatoes wedges.
Okay, now for my favorite part, dessert! For dessert you always get the Dessert Trio Platter. This was my favorite dessert from my trip to Disney World. The Dessert Trio Platter includes a macaron filled with raspberries inside, white chocolate cup (it’s edible!) filled with the grey stuff with crisp pearls, and dark chocolate truffle that is filled with dark chocolate ganache.
It is so GOOD!!!
Do you see the rose on the bottom and the paintbrush? They give you frosting to paint the picture. Then eat the picture!
My brother’s dessert trio from the kid’s menu.
My brother’s trio was different. It also comes with a macaron, white chocolate cup, grey stuff, and chocolate truffle. His frosting is on his plate.
The paint (aka frosting!)
The only problem about Be Our Guest is that it takes a very long time to get your food. We were there for at least an hour and twenty minutes. I give Be Our Guest 4 Mickey Bars!!!
