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.
3 Broom Sticks looks and feels like you are in Harry Potter land!
Here is the menu:
I got the fish and chips with grapes. It was really good! I would totally recommend it.
My mom got the cornish pastries with a salad. She liked her food.
My brother got the macaroni and cheese with grapes that looks really good in my opinion.
Doesn’t this look really good?
My dad got the Shepherds Pie with a salad.
My favorite part is just the atmosphere just feels like you’re in the world with Harry Potter. I know I already said that but it’s true! You won’t know until you go!
Back in January I interviewed my brother, Al. Now he is six and a half and I thought, “How about we do an interview with a six year old?”
Izzy: Hi Al! I am going to be interviewing you again for my blog.
Al: Okay.
Izzy: Can you list your favorite rides at Disney World?
Al: First it’s got to be Test Track, next is Dinosaur, then Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, fourth is Spaceship Earth, and fifth is… I got to think about this one. Fifth is Big Thunder Mountain.
Izzy: Do you like meeting characters? If so which ones?
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!!!
The Plaza Restaurant is located in Main Street USA. I went this past August and want to tell you all about it!
You can get some crazy milk shakes at The Plaza!
You can get the Chocolate Extreme Shake or the Minnie Milk Shake. Yes, both milk shakes have a big doughnut in them.
I had the Baked Honey Barbecue Brisket Mac and Cheese. You can ask for it without onions and scallions. That’s what I did. I will be completely honest with you, it wasn’t one of my favorite foods from my trip to Disney World.
The beef brisket just is too sweet and all the juice from it goes to the bottom into the mac and cheese. It makes the mac and cheese taste like mac and cheese with beef brisket juice.
My dad had the Cheese Steak Sandwich. It comes with onions, mushrooms, and red peppers. He said it was delicious.
My mom had the Chicken Strawberry Salad. She enjoyed it too!
My brother got the Grilled Chicken Strips with a banana. He said the food was very good.
For dessert we got the Brownie Sundae. It was my favorite thing there! The chocolate sauce is still warm and it tastes so good with the vanilla ice cream.
There are a lot of limited time verified caramel apples you can get! You can get the Halloween Colors Caramel Apple, Jack Skeleton Caramel Apple, Poisoned Caramel Apple, and Witch Caramel Apple.
The Witch Caramel Apple!
This Crisped Rice Cereal Treat shaped like a pumpkin looks delicious! If you’re more into candy corns then you can get this Crisped Rice Cereal Treat.
This rice crispy treat is spookalicious!
Yum!!!
You can also get the candy corn popcorn. Who knew that went well together? All these items can be found at Main Street Confectionery.
These Pumpkin Spice Frosted Pretzels look really good.
Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival is from August 29 – November 23, 2019.
Different booths from different countries are put up around Epcot. They feature outstanding food from different countries.
Did you know you will even be able to meet celebrity chefs like Buddy Valastro from Cake Boss? You will be able to meet celebrity chefs at Sunday Brunch With The Chef. (Click here for more information!)
You can also play Remy’s Ratatouille Hide ‘N Squeak Scavenger Hunt. (While we are on the topic, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will open in Epcot by Spring of 2020!)
The last time I was at Epcot’s Food and Wine festival, I was two years old, so I only have pictures of the outside of booths from this past August.
If you have ever wanted to taste your way around the world than you should go to the Food and Wine festival.
