Columbia Harbor House Review

Columbia Harbor House reopened on August 5th and we were lucky enough to be at Columbia Harbor House the day it reopened!

Columbia Harbor House is a quick service restaurant that serves seafood. It was my first time eating there and I can’t wait to review it for you!

Here are some pictures from inside the restaurant:

We had the Lemonade Slushy. It was really refreshing!

I had the Grilled Shrimp Skewer that comes with rice and green beans. It was great! The shrimp had a nice flavor to them.

Al had the chicken strips that came with French fries from the kids menu. He really enjoyed his meal.

My parents had the Trio Platter. The Trio Platter is fried shrimp, chicken strips, fish, and hushpuppies. They loved their food!

For dessert, we had the Minnie Mouse Chocolate Lava Cookie. It was so GOOD! I loved how the cookie had a lot of chocolate in it.

I give Columbia Harbor House 5 Mickey Bars!

Is The Coconut Dole Whip Better Than The Classic Pineapple Dole Whip?

On my last trip to Disney World, we went to Aloha Isle Refreshments.

Aloha Isle Refreshments has a must get snack. Can you guess what it is? It’s the Dole Whip! Every time we go to Disney World, we always get the Pineapple Dole Whip. We bought it again this trip.

The Pineapple Dole Whip isn’t the only type of Dole Whip you can get. There are many different types of Dole Whips to choose from. We also got a Raspberry and Pineapple Dole Whip Swirl. It was really good! The Raspberry and the Pineapple go really well together.

I decided to try the Coconut Dole Whip because I LOVE coconut! The Coconut Dole Whip was delicious! If you love coconut like me, then this is your Dole Whip. You can taste the coconut in every bite.

I actually like the Coconut Dole Whip more than the Pineapple Dole Whip. I know what your thinking. How?! I actually do not like Pineapple, so that is why I like the Coconut Dole Whip better.

The Mara Review

The Mara is a restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. I went to The Mara for the first time back in July and can’t wait to tell you all about it!

The Mara has indoor seating…

…and outdoor seating.

We decided to sit outside since the weather was nice. I had the Tamarind Pulled Pork Sandwich. It comes with coleslaw (on the side) and French fries. It was delicious! If you like Pulled Pork Sandwiches, you should definitely get this.

Here is a closer picture of the coleslaw.

My mom and dad shared the Braai Chicken Flatbread. The Braai Flatbread has sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, pieces of chicken, bacon, red onion, mozzarella, and Saag Dahl Ranch drizzle. They said that they really liked all the different flavors in the flatbread.

Al had the Cheeseburger from the kids’ menu.

Zebra Domes are very well know so we decided to try them. The Zebra Domes were absolutely delicious! When you go to The Mara, you should try these!

I give The Mara 5 Mickey Bars!

Here are some additional pictures from The Mara:

Gelateria Toscana Review

There is a new stand in the Italy pavilion that sells gelato!

Here is a picture of the menu:

I had the Cookies and Cream Gelato. It was absolutely delicious! I loved how there was a lot of little bits of cookies in the gelato.

You can also have one cup that has two scoops of two different gelatos. My dad had the Lemon and Pistachio Gelato. He loved it.

Al had the Strawberry and Cookies and Cream Gelato. He also enjoyed his gelato.

I would give Gelateria Toscana 4 Mickey Bars! The only issue is that the gelato was a little pricey, but besides that we would totally go back!

2021 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival Booth Reviews: Hawai’i Booth

The Hawai’i booth is another booth we went to during the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival!

Here is a picture of the menu:

We had the Passion Fruit Cheesecake. Note: The Passion Fruit Cheesecake is a part of Emilie’s Fromage Montage.

I love cheesecake so I found this dessert delicious! I really liked the toasted Macadamia Nuts on top because it added more flavor to the cheesecake.

I give the Hawai’i booth 5 Mickey Bars!

2021 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival Booth Reviews: Flavors of Fire Booth

Next up is the Flavors of Fire booth!

Here is a picture of the menu:

We had The Corned Beef Corner Route. It was delicious! Note: The Corned Beef Corner Route is a part of Emilie’s Fromage Montage.

The Chimichurri-up Offense was good too, but we liked The Corned Beef Corner Route even more.

I give The Flavors from Fire booth 5 Mickey Bars!

2021 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival Booth Reviews: Brew-Wing At The Epcot Experience Booth

The Brew-Wing booth is located indoors!

The Brew-Wing booth has a lot of seating.

Al and I had the Pepperoni Flatbread. It was good, it tasted like a pepperoni pizza.

My parents had the Garlic-Parmesan Wings that come with celery. They thought the wings were delicious!

I give Brew-Wing At The Epcot Experience 5 Mickey Bars!

2021 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival Booth Reviews: The Donut Box

It’s time to review The Donut Box!

Here is a picture of the menu:

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.

I give The Donut Box 4 Mickey Bars!

2021 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival Booth Reviews: Japan Booth

The Japan booth is another booth we ate at while we were at the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival!

Here is a picture of the menu:

I had the Teriyaki Chicken Bun. That is a bun filled with chicken, vegetables, and Teriyaki Sauce.

I am a big fan of bao buns so I loved the Teriyaki Chicken Bun. The bun was soft when you bite into it and the Teriyaki Sauce tasted sweet.

I give the Japan booth 5 Mickey Bars!
