🏰 A Disney fan’s hub for all Walt Disney news today!

If you’re looking for exclusive Disney news or want to experience the inside of the Disney parks, then you’re in the right place. The magic is just a click away! 🚀

For over 16 years, WDW News Today has been your go-to for all things Disney – news, podcasts, radio, and video. We’ve had a blast sharing our love for Disney, and it’s all thanks to our dedicated audience that we’re now the best website for Disney Parks News worldwide.

Welcome to the Epcot International flower and garden festival 2024 Tom coris here uh we are covering as we do every time all of the new items or those on the garden Grays if you want items from previous years there are videos here on the channel from previous years

And as well if you’d rather read those reviews they’re at ww.com and what we do every year is we do a two posts on the website there’ll be two this year one that has all these new items which will be in this video the other one has all our reviews ever

So it will have everything that’s returning as well as those new items both those reviews should be out in a day or two probably by the time you’re watching so keep that in mind again ww.com uh we’re starting at brunch cot uh which is here over by test trk uh is

Going to have one new item and a returning item we needed for the garden Grays uh for those that don’t know the garden Gray is is one of these you got to get all your stamps so make sure when you buy these items listed you get your stamp so

I got the avocado toast and I got the avocado stamp isn’t that cute it corresponds isn’t that great um real quick I have to give you a disclaimer we were invited to the media event today by Disney they did provide a $100 gift card I will tell you $100 does not cover

Everything so in the interest of fairness Disney has paid for some of the food today but probably not a vast majority of it because there are I believe 60s something new items so thank you to Disney for hosting us we have we got a lot more to go and a special thank

You to our wigs members at patreon.com ww& who essentially pay for the rest they they fund all this great content that helps everyone out in the Parks if you want to become a part of that that link will take you there we appreciate the uh help so the new item

We’ll talk about the avocado toast eventually but the new item is going to be the biscuit and gravy uh which is Believe It or Not uh not a vegan item despite that it’s it’s made with impossible chicken fried steak and impossible sausage gravy is it I don’t

Think it’s even vegetarian oh no that that just means Garden graay they don’t have a thing for vegetarian I assume this is vegetarian since it’s impossible yeah I mean both items are impossible so it has to be um but let’s do it Jake if you want to get in there I

Also have another clip they can use but yeah know let’s let’s try this out hey it’s Eric Morton Eric do you want to eat some meat it’s not great it’s possible yeah it’s impossibly bad that all makes sense it’s okay it’s and the Al I know it’s impossible it’s super dry if the

Alternative is a life without biscuits and gravy sure but so I will tell you there are a lot of impossible Meats I like this one’s it’s it’s real dry and real chewy like it doesn’t it doesn’t emulate sausage well it doesn’t tastes good even if sometimes it doesn’t

Emulate the texture I still like impossible stuff like the flavor will be good the biscuit the biscuit is not dry the Biscuit’s nice but the the sausage in the the sausage kills it I think I would have guessed that wasn’t me yeah I just didn’t want to tell you before you

Ate it yeah don’t do that to me again is that a threat I just woke up no I didn’t wake up but I just got here another one of Eric’s favorites avocado toast so this is a returning item but it was garden Gray I’m going to ruin Jake’s shot there you go

There’s the avocado toast which they describe as uh with marinated tomatoes and plant-based cheese crumbles on a toasted chabata this is going to be plant-based or vegan just you know what for those that haven’t seen our reviews I’m kind of a meet and potatoes picky guy kind of Tom

Will eat anything that you put in front of him you couldn’t tell this debuted a couple years ago so I kind of forgot very floral if I like it or not it’s it’s very good good the chabata I’m stunned is fresh and soft and like it’s got the nice

Crisp Edge but it’s nice and soft in the middle I got like a flower in my bite so maybe that’s why it was so flal overpowered so Eric won’t be in the rest of their R viw because he ate a flower no I’m just saying kind of overpowered

Everything else oh really I mean the tomatoes ni try try this Leaf here there you go I mean if I eat just a flower just me right I wouldn’t eat a FL I mean I don’t that’s not my the part of the avocado toast like I like the tomatoes I

Like the avocado I like the plant-based cheese otherwise it’s very good so we are going to be doing like a ranking to top seven and bottom seven right oh we have to give things I forgot the new thing we do is we rank things out of seven but also we do a top

And bottom do we handicap them if they’re like a plant-based dish or do we just pretend like it’s a regular biscuit uh biscuit and gravy and we’re measuring why would that matter no you’re ranking this item of its own Merit okay right cuz there is plant-based stuff like like

That that’s I’m with you on the two I agree two out of seven the avocado toast I’m going to go six say six out of seven four five but not Eric’s cup of te but it’s not something that I’m going to run into the park to order six out of seven

I really like it but again it’s a returning item all right we’re going to take a quick break and then we’re going to do farmers feast all right the farmers Feast is where we are now uh this is World Discovery near test track it’s just going to be on the other side

Of the planter here um so we’re going to start with the grilled street corn on the cob Eric I can’t eat this you’re going to be alone on this one uh my braces were supposed to be off I have another month left but it’s going to be

Uh street corn on the cob with Savory garlic spread and plant-based cheese so this is again vegan or plant-based but you like corn at least right everyone loves corn it’s a like a big lump with knobs it has the juice we’re so hip we’re on top of all

The trends from a year ago I don’t know about the vegan cheese the rest is good it would have been better if it was hot what do you like about it hasn’t been sitting there long either I will tell you it just has a good blend of flavors

You can smell it from far away it smells like doesn’t it smell like something you want to eat it does I wish I could I can I give this five Spike the Beast spks out of seven all right next up we have the ve loin w I

Love that we undo all the Goodwill with the vegan option with baby cow uh vin with spring pea risotto featuring Ben’s original International grains uh AR Boro rice and red wine syrup I don’t know if you can see it on camera this to the eye this looks pretty

Dry would you agree Tom the the ve looks incredibly dry it looks really dry try the ve first on its own it’s not as dry as it looks it actually has some flavor in in there some juice yeah you’re right the exterior looks like the desert scene on living

With the lamb but the the combination’s great the wine sauce is really pungent yeah perfectly pairs with the rice and then the juicy ve in there this is solid yeah like it’s not going to be I sat down in a restaurant and ate ve quality it’s not what you’re going to get

Here the P Roto is a little bit of a question mark you’re like huh how’s that going to work but it tastes all right you’ve never had P RoR I have it just this one looks particularly I don’t know interesting full of rich green penis I think it tastes good though oh

Five how about a five five out of seven all right all right five for our first drink although Jake and I drank at the media do we play the game does it did this come with the drink or land in the drink while we were photographing okay

Uh this is the frozen lemon tea cocktail was frozen at one time with barager honey and bourbon is that right never barager I don’t know it’s very good strong honey flavor holy cow yeah that is like a a pungent a really pungent honey tea with with the

Folks at Halls got involved in the uh Cocktail game wo I don’t hate it no I that’s a it’s actually a strong cocktail for festival cocktail even though this has mostly melted you expect it to be more watered down and it’s not pretty strong it’s alcohol is hitting you in the face but

So is the honey so it’s it’s pretty decently mhed it’s a it’s a good Frozen cocktail I’m going to give it I hate to give it a five six I’ll give it a six yeah I’m with everything else with a five it’s a six six out of seven there we go moving

On Eric when I find my myself at flower and garden looking for some food to eat I come to the honey be stro why would almost Spike the bee is this where he lives yeah this is his home yeah I’ve never been there like figman has the glass I’ve never been inside been

Invited I mean it’s small I don’t think we’d fit yeah anyway the honey beasto maybe we should start with that that’s mil yeah this thing way out uh that’s is that the honey peach cobbler freeze yes honey Peach cober freeze is it the alcohol vodka let’s do it

Whoa It’s like someone poured vodka into a poptart on the spectrum of Festival alcoholic cocktails might be the strongest might be the best because it’s the strongest I just feel like no no I got back off the straw a little bit get in the middle of that bad boy back off

The straw yeah like lift the straw up so it’s not at the bottom or the top right we get in the middle get that peach cobbler taste it’s still really strong though which is great I give this drink seven seven Spike the be Sports oh it’s so fantastic right

The I mean it’s a mess yeah I mean the the sweetness of the honey they get the the peach flavor um so it’s it’s like a Milky vodka drink is what I would say and it’s fantastic I love it probably going to be in our best

Of the event so we’ll note that one [ __ ] the be needs to be I know somewhere in there oh boy I know Eric’s going to love this it’s cauliflower M isn’t the trend to pre pretend that cauliflower is something other than and like oh it’s rice cauliflower I would eat cauliflower every

Day I love it cauliflower cooked so perfectly that not too hard it’s not too soft it’s not soggy the the puree underneath the carrot get some of that carrot the carrot puree comes in strong on the back end it’s perfect accompaniment the rice is well cooked everything just pairs together so

Perfectly um here’s the problem this booth also has the chicken and waffles and we’re not reviewing it not reviewing it because it’s not new and it looks fantastic I’ve never actually seen it you never had it I don’t think had it and it’s a giant piece of chicken and

This freshly made Waffle and I don’t know how you walk past that for this because I’m 280 lbs and I eat theme park food all the time and I want to come here and eat something that I won’t feel bad about but is also delicious that’s why I’m eating this it’s pretty

Good I I have to say it’s not bad uh how many it’s vegetarian it’s not it’s not vegan though this is a seven for me that’s seven I was going to say like a five I’m good I really love this and I app something that’s flavorful and well thought out uh

And healthy I think that’s a rarity I think a couple of dishes like this where I can offset all the meat I’ve had all day I like this a lot all right I think if you’re vegetarian you’re going to go crazy for that now we’re moving over to

The refreshment port uh which is right over there and has a few items when I was a kid they had McDonald’s you remember that Eric oh yeah McDonald’s french fries drink I’ll find it in here somewhere here it is um so we are going to have a vegan dish

We’re going to have the plant-based buffalo chicken tender poutine I was going to say it looked plant-based when you put it on the table it’s that cheese that is a giant portion and it it might be the hottest food I’ve ever gotten at a festival my hand was actually burning

Carrying it over um but it’s on crispy potato barrels with ranch and plant-based blue cheese crumbles I’m so excited for those they’re actually still crunchy we’ve had them from there a million times they’re usually not great I think they’re perfect today but people people like potato barrels all different

Ways we’ve done reviews where people are like oh no they got to have them crunchy like real crunchy I like them like this with a little crunch in the exterior and they’re nice and soft on the inside the buffalo chicken is very good it’s a it’s a traditional buffalo sauce but a good

One very vinegar heavy right the blue cheese the do a decent job mimicking the real thing for being vegan yeah it it tastes as you have an easier time tricking someone with this and telling them this then that biscuit seem going be disaster this is a seven for me no way

Yeah especially vegan I think if you’re vegan this is the item to get this year also quick note that is a garden graze item um so now we have two they look they’re little potato barrels on the stamp they cute they’re per it’s perfect it’s not something elevated it’s not

Something crazy but what it is is I’m going to go six I’m going to go six that’s fine but I’m surprised that it held up this well cuz we we did photograph this I mean it’s 10 minutes old no not even that that might be a 10

Minutes old yeah that in the ice cream I just don’t want to put this in the same that drink they’re different things Eric I know you hate veganism no that’s not true I like it not for me it’s not for me but yeah understand there also we have a cocktail

Uh we have the Frozen mojito with Boyd and Blair rum don’t use that as a straw it’s not but it like sug sugarcane yeah feel like I’m in the Deep South enjoying a nice warm afternoon why are suddenly all the drinks at this event strong did they finally listen Mr Eric

Everything is very strong I’m very honored to have fog hornn Leghorn with us today reviewing drinks Katie fog horn Lorn was what’s the it was semen okay oh see okay it has it’s a hot day it has not uh survived but it’s I mean it so I don’t generally like Mojitos but

I like this it’s good I can drink the very M ref easy easy drinking despite being strong yeah six yeah I’ll give it a six yeah yeah we’re being very kind to the cocktails all of a sudden cuz we’re on the media list of the kind it’s because

They’re strong yeah Mo no most most of the co Festival cocktails I don’t like these are I they’ve been pretty good I think maybe they listened cuz we’ve had three and I thought wow these are much stronger than our typical cocktails but also better put together in general um

And food so far we’re we’re doing pretty well it’s if we get towards Italy though it’s going to be downhill I feel it Eric is this Italy’s year no no it’s never Italy’s year let’s move on all right we’re doing a a couple of booths here

Well I guess joffre’s it’s a booth sure it is definitely a booth so near Canada you went to joffre’s and you picked up the Citrus frosted iced tea which is a tanging blend of frozen lemonade minute made lemonade iced tea and orange Tangerine syrup garnished with a glazed

Orange Peel uh but you got this with alcohol what alcohol is in here Gray Goose vodka Gray Goose more vodka it is $8.50 more for the Vodka shot you did the single yeah I just got a single joking we’re we’re pretty lit already from those little are you no they were

Strong though but I didn’t drink much should I should I go go for it it is a very nice iced tea with alcohol in it the the vodka’s pretty masked is it there I hope so is there vodka in it honestly I’m not positive I don’t

Think so it doesn’t taste like it it’s a a thimble of vodka it’s a nice iced tea but it’s nothing particularly special you know I don’t know I wouldn’t get it I don’t think it’s worth it no I give it like two sporks it’s it’s just I just

Tastes like iced tea to me I mean it’s refreshing it’s hot out we might have got it maybe Joffrey did a number on us we might have got screwed at eight bucks wouldn’t be the first time and it won’t be the last you just put it there we

Have people running oh look this food showing up from the food Runners so let’s start now we’re in France for FL Flur oh wait wait and Flur has uh new this year the P Canad the P duck uh Ki with orange sauce and a garlic rosemary mashed potato it tastes like

Thanksgiving it just tastes like Thanksgiving I mean the oranges yeah it’s there it’s potent I didn’t think it was potent it’s present maybe you got I don’t know get more of the gravy more I mean the Orange is definitely there I don’t think it’s overwhelming

But it’s it’s for sure going to hit you in the face it’s s still tastes like the duck is perfect it’s super soft tender yeah a little bit dark meat yeah and the mashed potatoes this is uh great yeah it’s great I five yeah like a five five

I think five this is not the season for this though an event from yeah thisch yeah it’s I don’t want to eat that today no but it’s good all right we’ll be right back with Isa defres La Isa Fresca between France and Morocco new this year vegan option The

Impossible Jamaican beef patty with spicy papaya syrup I’m so excited I love Jamaican beef patties my mother used to bring them home this is how many how many like vegan or vegetarian things have we had a lot a lot I mean it’s flow and garden uh vegan food is what grows in

The garden Eric and what you eat does not very good yeah spicy Eric like the vegan dish I think when they make the like the vegan meat really spicy it’s pretty good see I’ll agree with you like my favorite vegan stuff I’ve had is you you

You hide that it’s not the real thing with spice and flavor do you pretend to tell people do you tell people that it’s sausage and gravy biscuits and gravy and it’s really he’s never going to let me the end of it it’s got a kick it’s it’s phenomenal this is actually

Like this might be my first Savory 7 I’m with you and you get a little bit of sweetness from the exterior of the sauce the pastry’s cooked perfectly it’s flaky and crisp and then there’s just a load it is loaded with beef I’ll take a shot after we do that but that’s we’ll

Come back that cuz I need to shoot that inside but um dessert I remember seeing this is not this is this is old isn’t it looks like coconut coconut teses okay a vanilla cake soaked with oat almond and coconut milks too with toasted coconut vegan

Once again is this a garden graze item H I should have popped theer Tech it is we didn’t get a stamp I got to send someone back first stamp oh no oh man it’s Prett good especially on the front at the end the flavor kind of just disappeared

That’s very good like Fruit gum so moist it’s really moist that’s a six for me it is a little one note like you said it’s really good and then the flavor is gone yeah Fruit Stripe gum still good I’d give it a six I give it a

Six yeah but it’s it’s the coconut flavor is not overwhelming H nice rich cream on top but a little one note what do we have here Tom well this isn’t in the book I have to go to art checklist uh the United Kingdom beer cart which Eric is very familiar with has a

Specialty cocktail for the event uh this is the Scottish thistle it’s Forge gin with lemon and black currant cucumber syrup garnished with an actual cucumber very well bottoms up if you want to see my skin turn red just give me some chin what is it it’s

Very cucumber would you think by the by the title would you think that like a see wow it’s super refreshing though it’s nice for today’s weather nice and nice cold but yeah that’s you’re going to need to love cucumber a lot um you got like something in there but it’s

Good chunks very syrupy sweet though that’s it’s pretty people really going to like that that’s very unique I don’t think I’ve had anything like that at some people are really going to like that Eric gives it a four yeah four out of seven sure but I think for some

People at home it’ll be higher yeah we also had to go back to the Canada popcorn card cuz they decided to get in on the fun this year too with a peach smash it’s Canadian Club whiskey Josh’s favorite uh with lemon Peach puree and ginger our good friend Josh from E dubs

Would be very proud should we Stir It Up A little yeah go for it separate a little may have tastes kind of like a mule has that gingery a whiskey mule it’s too syrupy sweet for me a little bit I mean I did see they did not

Prepare it fresh it did come out of a big jug batch uh it’s note uh notable that this is $11.50 so like $5 cheaper than the uh tea from the joffre booth that may or may not have had alcohol in it cheaper than the other cocktails we’ve had which

Are not regular size like this is yeah so it’s a good buy I don’t like you like you said it’s a little syrupy it kind of tastes like I don’t even taste the whiskey because Ginger Ginger Beer mule yeah I don’t even really taste the peach

I mostly just taste Ginger yeah I can’t it’s too much this is like two one for me one Spike to be sport from Tom two for me that we give it a one and a half then all right it’s time for everyone’s part of the review when Nana comes in and

Screams I haven’t screamed yet today well it’s still early uh we’re going to first have some uh one item from the Tangerine Cafe flavors of the Medina which is going to be Morocco uh it’s a Mediterranean flatbread with chamula roasted vegetables artichoke olives and feta

Cheese I’m not even sure I can eat that what are you allergic to well I am not allergic but I don’t like that you know fancy stuff that is fancy this high futin this High futin flatbread look your friends are looking at you I got friends on the other

Side they’re not up in the tree don’t worry I will not get pooped on like a flowering Garden H not sure I can eat but I sh got food on me I’m doing great it’s actually very good the crust is nice and soft has a nice charred Edge but it’s soft and

Doughy in the inside um the toppings are fantastic you know what is these things for this rat bread is for the California Girls not for me like you know the fancy girls that had I wish they all could beat California Girls Nana those East girl East Coast girls

Are kind of hip I like the Styles they wear but a here’s no idea what I’m talking about um very good all very fresh a lot of earthy flavors right the roasted vegetables the AR choke olives it’s a really nice mix I love this I’m going to give this a six out of

Seven ma okay that is one of the best fast food pizzas at Disney World happy to hear that no you don’t agree I mean I just don’t like all the fancy stuff on the on top of I’m a child I like the cheese pizza so if I com in from that

That is like too adult for me remember adult sweet it’s adult Pizza remember adult what adult sweet Kit Kat adult sweet Japanese adult sweet kitat you don’t remember oh yeah what is adult sweet though I don’t remember it’s not too sweet but not the subtle sweetness decent sweet but kids

Get the super sweet mhm and Americans in Japan all the desserts are very subtle that’s a thing mhm Hanami which is in the Japan Pavilion um uh returning is the frui but new items the steam bun filled with vegetable and plant-based soy me what it’s going to melt soy you

Have to eat your regular food first and then you could have dessert no no no what is soy meat not real meat it’s vegan it’s a vegan dish why are [ __ ] people doing that cuz they feel bad for the Americans did you see there’s a vegan meal in Fantasy Springs I was

Shocked the just rip it just rip it I I can feel the meatball in the middle if I had a nickel for every time a girl told me that where hold hold on look at that meat ball just like a Nona used to make why Japanese Che why are Japanese people

Why a long time ago it’s a little Bland it is do you know 7-Eleven sells of those buns in Japan yeah it tastes like that I’m happy the texture feels very authentic to me yeah for sure I The Taste is very you don’t think it’s too

Subtle you don’t think like not a lot of flavor I mean it’s sweet I mean it is sweet you’re right I mean obviously like Japan always make these for Americans and people here to make it sweeter than anything else cuz that’s what people love here so it’s not like authentic

Flavor but it’s close enough you know what’s authentic a bun yeah the bun is fantastic isn’t it bun is on point yeah yeah it’s like a guila dog from Japan it it does remind me even the texture of the vegan meat reminds me of the guza

Dog I just don’t like the flavor but I will tell you I think if you’re vegan this is great I think you’re going to love it yeah five out of seven you I’ll let you do the ranking you think better than that it’s is sort of dry outside if

It’s a little bit moistured I’ll give them six but five is okay to me but again I think if you’re um you know if you’re interested in the vegan dishes I think it’s worth a try you know I’m going to give it the six I’ve come

Around on it I am not a vegan but I Su can eat this I cuz you know I had another impossible something in that in Animal Kingdom I didn’t like it but this one good we’re all capable of eating vegan we just choose not to shake your shake your

Ramen cup I don’t do I supposed to shake it that’s what he told me he’s like make sure to shake well don’t take the lid off and shake it leave the lid on and give it a shake shake shake no like you got to really this is this is a unle

Shake okay it’s popular if you go to jym you will hear it I will go you should book a trip real soon oh oh it’s really good USU us it us it smells good USU yeah it’s a US it something I think get in there now he

I’m hoping this the ramen cup Ramen salad shaken in a cup with fresh vegetables grilled chicken and dashi broth with chili oil and Yuzu it’s definitely going to be good one I’m hoping it smells good I know the question will be the noodle quality okay I think this is the best

Menu they ever created in Japan that I covered the festival so far in my life in here this is good in the summer why in the summer you like it oh it’s certainly not bad I think I could make ramen of a similar quality at home from a pack for

A dollar that is true but like it is that is true do you want people to come have this at a festival it’s I will say it’s good I mean I really like it I this more than I expected I’m going to give it a five 5.5 but I don’t know value-wise

It’s just a cup of rck how much was it I don’t remember it’ll show up at the bottom of their screen so let me say this the noodle is kind of overcooked but the sauce is on point it’s nice citrusy and little Savory so in the summer it’s really nice the sauce is

Very nice yeah highly recommend it for the summer like these kind see I like the noodles like that they’re a little chewy but that’s how I like my spaghetti but that’s an Italian thing I like the heart spaghetti not the soft spaghetti hey you like heart spaghetti was so I

Like it like that a little chewy yeah five all right we have drinks usually we don’t get the alcoholic and the non-alcoholic but I think there was a miscommunication we got the both last time did we all right um because the names are different I think it confused

Them um there’s a watermelon strawberry lemonade which is going to be that one so start with that that’s the non-alcohol this probably going to be terrible syrup I hate that it’s just sugar and syrup it tastes like cheap like if you bought like a bottled why juice why Japan made this

That’s my question I don’t know because money oh God uh and then the alcoholic I think sake could save this so we’ll see Ichigo Breeze which is sake with the strawberry and watermelon I think some alcohol could save it I don’t taste any alcohol it’s definitely in there did you there’s

Definitely sake in there oh yeah it’s not as powerful as the other cocktails we have but it’s in there um I would give the non-alcoholic a one yeah I give this like a three I want to mix with Sprite this certainly makes it better but it’s I still don’t really

It’s too syrupy it’s it’s a batch cocktail it’s not my thing Eric pushing a funnel cake my way I want to see Nana eat the funnel cake okay to make her happy again Nana no Nana is happy with the r we’re moving on to the my favorite

Country in World Showcase funnel cake is good this is the funnel cake he just a few steps away it is a funnel cake it doesn’t have a special name funnel cake with powdered sugar vanilla ice cream strawberries whipped cream strawberry glaze and strawberry crunch why they put all the strawberries

It’s a strawberry funnel okay it doesn’t matter if you like it now just let’s go figment beer M stren you see that strawberry crunch kind of up on the whipped cream there’s the block of vanilla ice cream in the middle there’s vanilla ice cream that’s Square I want

Ice the block oh the funnel Cake’s nice and soft they always cook these so well these are always a home run man that’s good I like it I mean D final you oh my goodness n you are eating what are you what are you taking umbrage

With P Mustang eating my spot but it’s okay your spot that was my spot I don’t think it’s just that I have an eat the funnel cake is so perfectly cooked it’s so soft it’s got this Rich sweetness phenomenal the whipped cream adds to it um the ice cream perfect accompaniment

Just enough strawberry flavor it’s not overwhelming a sweet strawberry glaze that strawberry crunch is not it’s it’s more decoration than it is anything else it’s not giv me any flavor or anything let me try a little off the top but I don’t think there’s anything

Really going on this is this is a seven but we know we usually give them the top score anyway it never disappoint me every time I come here and eat that never disappoint even when it’s flavors that are not my favorite like like a strawberry top funnel cake is not my

Number one choice this is spectacular I would have this again seven yeah so Eric it’s time to do our quarterly Penance here at the Italy Booth uh which is called vigment Help Us Prim Vera kitchen which means mostly uncooked I believe in Italian Sor sure um you guys

Ate here I missed it at foda I was at the media thing you ate it Italy and you guys said it was okay I recall it being unremarkable which is really good for the booth step up for sure uh we have four items because they hate us uh the

Banini which is mozzarella banini grape tomatoes and a pesto sauce I we definitely start with that it’s kind of a appetizer Eric’s going to love this you go first I’ll do some pot this how are you going to wow it mozarella it’d be hard it’d be real

Hard it’s not bad how many sporks out of seven four super basic there’s nothing wrong with it though it’s like Supermarket quality Mel um Tomatoes they’re freshing up pesto sauce isn’t offensive it’s perfectly fine it’s cute presentation it’s in a pot uh this is the Arata which

Is panete pasta spicy tomato sauce and buttery shrimp oh good you know this the sauce is good cuz it’s it’s like a decent spicy red sauce the shrimp are not fishy they not bad the pasta could be better it’s not great it’s a little alente in general I would probably get

This again do you really want to be the first do you want to be the first person in WW history to say you would get something again from the Y boo I I think it’s five out of seven sporks I don’t think it’s bad I hate to agre I like the

Spicy I like the spicy sauce you have the receipt yeah how much is that it’s it’s a hefty portion I’m curious if if it’s super expensive though uh 925 I don’t think that’s bad for 925 I’m going to agree on the five I mean theme park scale of pricing 925 is not

Terrible it’s a 5 out of seven I like the kick in the sauce the sauce has more kick like you know a little bit later it’s a good sauce the shrimp is fine it’s not fishy it is a little buttery as advertised yeah they could have put this with a different pasta and

It probably would have been better too I think they just could have cooked that better but this has got to be a come on this looks like it’s out of a college dorm room or or my station in guantan Bay formage paneta pasta the four cheese sauce

What are the four cheeses cheeses have been together so long that they look like one we are one kind of cheese now we are one the flavor of the the cheese is not bad oh the pasta’s cooked better on this dish than that one though I will say

It’s a better bat pasta it’s a better batch it’s softer and I don’t I kind of like the cheese this is way better than it looks though no it’s at three or four on in in the midwest they should put maybe some chicken or something with

It in the Northeast this is a she’s a Northeast too three and A2 three and A2 it’s not terrible it’s not do Hales don’t do halves you let Nana do a half no I told her no okay then it’s a four all right uh there is a uh chocolate canoli with

Peanut butter ricotta filling there’s no knives so we just have to do the fork braid not since they want serve someone on microwaved ravioli and they tried to cut them it’s not a canoli it’s kind of chalky what did they do to the canoli Shell the canoli shell

Tastes like Chong so it’s in this nice milk chocolate the the peanut butter Rana filling is fantastic but the canoli is inedible it’s really chalky I don’t like the canoli but I like everything else about it look look at get in here Jake it look you can see it’s like powdered

Inside the Chocolate shell like it looks like it’s powdered it looks looks like we bit into a slab of concrete you everever broken concrete that’s what it looks like on the edge that like powdery white Edge Look at that it’s a shame because they had a

Good base there but the canoli is gross it almost tastes more like a chocolate covered pretzel because of it yeah but it’s not like the good kind though it’s too chalk no it it tastes it has the consistency of like a malted milk ball like a the inside of a Whopper I think

That’s mean to w I’m a big Whopper guy I think it’s way chalkier it’s too bad I it’s too bad because I think the rest of it the milk chocolate did a good job milk chocolate’s good the the and the filling is great um it’s this Rich peanut butter you know cream

Flavor the flavors could save it but I give we’re talking for that it’s it’s called the canoli it’s the vessel and the vessel is bad wel welcome to China although we’re starting with the refreshment Outpost which is that way you know the Coca-Cola location uh because they have a seasonal fruit

Parfait with sweet chili sauce and mango do whip what’s the fruit Wendy pineapple and Watermill pineapple and watermelon they said that might change for the festival as things go in and out of season I guess but you know um you want to try it yep the sweet chili sauce is

Something called or um there’s also tahen in there for sure I see the taheen but there is a chili sauce tooo it’s not my thing same people will probably like this I don’t know I don’t like mango so I like mango sometimes but there’s a lot

Going on here and then the chunks like man we’re the WR so much to keep track of you had one earlier today right did you like it I’m not a big mango fan either but I mainly got it cuz I love that seasoning that’s okay better if you

Get a big bite of it okay I got a big bite of it and it was weird I just I I think everything was good on its own I I can see that there are people that are going to love this for me it’s like a two yeah mango and watermelon and it’s

Not I will warn you we may not be the best people to review this item but it’s a two for us in China the Lotus house that’s where do you want to start Tom let’s start with the lucky peach peach whiskey oolong tea honey lemon juice

Soda water Peach seems to be a theme this year I’m going to use right you know how they sometimes they do like beats this here is peach that’s cuz Princess Peach Showtime is coming out on Nintendo switch they’re a proud sponsor of this I’m joking they’re not you know

Who is though Tom I got to say we’ve been at it for a long time today it’s getting late in the day and I’m still comfortable in this shirt by our friends at Park candy and there’s still room yeah I like yours in particular with the little TIY

Birds I don’t have that one there’s all the flowers you go to park candy um.com or you can go to ww. linkpark Candy either way if you use the uh discount code wdw NT at checkout get 15% off helps us helps them please support support the people who support this

Content we’re going to blow away cuz bubble tea doesn’t buy itself okay all right so try try the lucky Peach so it doesn’t numb your mouth like a fuzzy tonon but it it takes you to that edge where you feel like there’s some kind of something going

On it’s not bad it’s not it’s drinkable this is more we’re like as we get later in the day I feel like we’re getting more and more of the like jug back to normal yeah like normal Festival drinks that are kind of watered down not as syrupy as usual though it’s it’s fine

It’s pretty refreshing sticky though it is a little not as much as usual though it’s it’s fine I’ll give it a three yeah I was I was exactly I was going to say a three we agree too much on this do you want to try the Dragon Dynasty again

Baju Spirit Light rum dragon fruit syrup CLA mix and soda water I would we have straws now if you want to with that I have a spoon I’m very happy for you Eric and as you know all day long if the spoon didn’t work I’ve been carrying around [ __ ] the spike the Beast

Spork [ __ ] sadly not available this year the be is there coconut in this bu you Spirit Light rum it might be a coconut rum uh dragon fruit AA colada that’s what is it tastes a little like like suntan lotion but in a good way I think this is wonderful this is probably going

To be my drink a choice yeah this is wonderful it tastes like the Hawaiian Tropic swimsuit team came and hung out with you drinking it’s nice and ref for a hot day like today I like this um it’s a little like a little bitter I I still think it’s like a a

Five or six I’m going to go four really okay I’ll go five it’s there’s like this bitter aftertaste I’m not digging in the uh group of the later in the day watered down out of a jug cocktails this one stands Above the Rest just mango bubble

Tea that’s all it says the Boba is flavorless the the tea is refreshing I like it the Boba is like flavorless I don’t understand why it’s in there I don’t know three I mean three porks it’s nothing special no but I mean it’s it’s going to be hot these couple months you

Know you make a fair point though like I like a lot of bubble tea this is a pretty non-descript it also feels kind of sticky to me I’ll go I’ll go three with you but it’s it’s really just a mango juice with Boba balls in it but

The Boba balls are pretty flavorless I got nothing from them yeah they just yeah all right we’re burning daylight for China move on well Tom we we are in the home stretch you don’t look so good we’re in Mexico Eric I just want to put the last couple days in in frame for

Everybody yesterday I did the whole new menu at mels which you can watch on universal Park news today our sister Channel Annie does a fantastic job please go watch that also circus mcus was recently but yesterday was melt today 60 new items I think we never counted what would you say at this

Festival and then Friday we are going to fly to California where you and I have to eat 50 new items at the California Food and Wine Festival luckily we get to sleep in until about 3:00 a.m. for our 5:00 a.m. flight to California straight to DCA for the have to news tonight

Tomorrow night and I have to film news today probably don’t sleep and then get on an airplane at 6 in the 5 something in the morning so it’s a great week I think eating food professionally was a mistake really being kidnapped oh yeah news tonight I’m getting kidnapped where in

The world is Tom corus Anywhere But Here when F be happy look at us set a festival I know the camera’s a little on the bright side on the bright side the food and drink have been better than usual say that may change now we went in a

Different direction right than usual so I don’t know but Hardin de Festus which is garden party right yeah I think uh is Mexico and uh they have five new items which will begin with the soape D chilorio which is gu guilo guilo pepper braised pork on fried corn shelves with

Black beans shredded cabbage Crema Mexicana Fresco and chives oh yeah yeah this looks like 50 other things I’ve had from this booth over the years it tastes like them then why’d you make a pleasant sound cuz sometimes it’s good I think this is good I think this is very good wow compared to Usual it’s less dry and chalky than usual it was a little tough at first I was worried when I started cutting it but I think it the shell could be better but the the meat is fantastic it’s like a six I would go five five okay seven actually I don’t

Know it’s a little dry it’s I might go four all right I go six you go four but the to describe it a little bit like the pork is solid the pork is good I I like the flavor of that black beans are good yep everything else

Going on there call the Shell is a little dry but I like the flavor of it that yeah better than the usual Weir stuff they put underneath the the meat can we talk about this thing what about it is this a carrot that was like tortured and Eric’s never seen a carrot

I’ve never seen one that was sliced this thin in this direction before it’s a little troubling this is the tamale deas pablano Peppers corn and cheese in Masa topped with pablano cream sauce crma Mexicana pickled carrot and onion and chives move the watery Margaritas you don’t know they’re watery yet you

Haven’t eaten I have an idea it’s a little one no it’s a little like is doughy the word it’s a little yeah I think the flavors are good I’m getting a corn flavor right yeah very corn and it sits on a corn husk it tastes like a if you took a corn

Tortilla and turn it into like a dough right if you took a corn taco what like a corn dough yeah it’s like a it’s got that flavor profile of a of a corn tortilla I’m not getting a lot it’s one I very one note there’s not a whole lot

Going on I think this is a two it’s like a three I give it a three Mexico always ends up like the mar we we’re so mean to Italy that we I think sometimes forget to be mean to Mexico cuz I don’t like this booth either I I never like their

Margaritas in Mexico but sometimes they have some dishes there’s occasionally a dessert that is fantastic this could FL de guaba vanilla flan with guava Kuli whipped cream and fresh fruit I think it’s good the texture is good the flavor is good that uh it took a second for

That uh that guava took me by surprise a little bit oh I love it yeah it was took me a minute to like adjust my uh pette to go oh it’s it that sauce is thick and you know the guava is going to punch you

In the face um but the fla evens it out nicely the sweetness of the fla yeah this is a six um yeah I can get behind a six I think a six is a fair it’s a good size too right it’s a big dessert two or three people could share this I think

It’d be happy about it as a festival thing yeah it’s not bad that’s pretty good one of the better things we’ve had in a while yeah well Eric it’s unfortunately time all right so they’ve had some weird one Margarita they’ve had some weird stuff end the review give me two margarita

Never uh so there’s a ly Margarita uh which is going to be centinella Blanco tequila lii ly Lor Citrus juice and agave nectar it Stir It stir it I will say with with lyy drinks I am ruined for life by The Fog Cutter that was at Trader Sams for Halloween one year which

Was the worst drink I’ve ever had in my entire life where I think they were convinced they could serve us anything cuz we were buying the mug so we drink whatever it’s kind of awful it’s the obligatory thing when we’re in this area for every festival or go there’s a

There’s an aftertaste of chloros septic there’s some sort of like medicinal taste it tastes like everything I’ve had here for 10 years but you’re right medicinal is the word there’s like this this like artificial fruit medicinal aftertaste yeah I I don’t like the aftertaste at all like I can’t describe it otherwise

Like I can’t tell you What notes I’m getting I I couldn’t tell you this is a one now at any other Festival this would be beets it’s not bead is it by Dr Dre yeah beads by Dr Dre you get a nice cup though floral Margarita I do like the

Cup Cherry laor Mescal habiscus tea and lime juice with a sweet chili salt Rim you there’s no salt on the rim it’s okay we earlier we had a drink with no vodka in it so no salt in the rim small price I it let me guess it’s

Syrupy it’s the same medicinal thing I’m not getting that smokiness of the mcow instead I’m getting like a like I have a STP throat taste the same do time they call them different things they list different ingredients but I never feel like these are different the doesn’t that taste kind of

Like that a little bit but there’s definitely fruit in here yeah but still the overpowering after syy than in years past I will say this is a little more drinkable than usual this is way better than that though this is a three yeah I think a three is fair

It’s slightly better plus you get that nice cup which I don’t know what you do with the cup but I know take home I have home yeah people use them they last I don’t like that they’re not stackable neither are we Eric um we got

To talk about this we ate over a third of this tamale and hit nothing there’s a giant Glock of cheese in there try it with the glob of cheese it’s weird that it’s stuffed with cheese but it was all on one end you have to get past the

Halfway mark to find it I like the green chilies I’m not sure the cheese makes it a whole lot better it’s just it’s still one note even though it’s a different ingredient I’m still just like I think it’s I think I actually think it’s a little better but I don’t think it’s

Enough to improve its gra no I think it stays where it is it’s I just wanted to make sure people knew that there is filling other than the corn tortilla flavor there is a glob of cheese in there and it’s it’s it’s still not better TR and trellis nearby near the

Disney Traders uh impossible Farmhouse meatball with lentil bread spinach marinated vegetables and creamy herb aoli and that was a stamp for us not in this book another book uh but it is the garden graze it’s also vegan it’s plant-based Eric you’ve eaten so much vegan food today I’m so proud I’m like

Legitimately proud of you wait till we get to California in a couple days I don’t know how much that Festival has maybe probably less than this you would think that you know how hard it is to eat vegan especially sit down restaurant we had the hardest time at sit down

Restaurants in California it’s near impossible counter service fantastic vegan stuff very hard uh like car I’ve e at car Circle a million times only bad meal we’ve had at car a vegan D but um okay so go ahead but you know the sausage that you like they have on property it’s

Comparable it’s very spicy there’s a lot of seasoning to kind of probably mask the fact that it’s like imitation meat and I think the spices work make it easy to swallow easy to eat and it’s actually Pleasant it’s pretty different from the sausage but I do like it

Um texture-wise taste wise it doesn’t taste far off from a real meatball yeah um but you’re right I’m that spice it’s a slow burn on the back end yeah um the the Pea is great too it giv is that a pea I just thought it was like a it’s a

It’s almost like a tortilla it’s like the lentil bread lentil bread okay it wasn’t bad it’s fantastic I love it I would absolutely have this again I love it I think it’s good this is a seven yeah seven seven going to go seven Erin seven on a vegan

I went close I went close to on those tater tots right maybe I’m just tired this used the dir though I draw the line eating dirt after Mexico I’m ready um this used to be marked as plant-based it used to be marked as vegan it’s not anymore so we don’t know what changed

Put some milk in it but the chocolate mousse terrarium with matcha crumble and chocolate soil is now not plantbase I don’t think I need to eat the flour I’m trying to evalate the dish flow not the flour green stuff mix SP tummy go m no one the dishes earlier today the the

Flour kind of spoiled the avocado toast for me it’s fine there’s nothing special about this I love this really it’s it’s fine I mean you need to be a chocolate lover it is it is chocolate I like chocolate I just go get the bottom you got to get the

Bottom cuz it’s very different on the bottom the chocolate soil chocolate soil so it’s like a chocolate pudding with a you’re right with a crunchy soil on the bottom I don’t know it’s a five five but I I think it’ll please a lot of people also takes a cute picture do

Looks like dirt um didn’t I believe this used to come in the themed cup but it doesn’t anymore but also used to be vegan and it’s no longer uh but a solid chocolate dessert for sure the drinks we have the alcoholic and the non-alcoholic this will be the

Non-alcoholic since it’s in the souvenir cup no it’s opposite that’s the alcohol they put alcohol in a souvenir cup the gin’s on top so ra raspberry lemon herbal tea with twinings raspberry and lemon herbal tea and simply limeade uh kipan kinship gin kyion is what I’m going to be having after all this

Woo that’s light and refreshing and kiss wrote a song about cold Jen I know I’ve said light and refreshing a million times there’s an overall theme with these drinks I’m running out of it’s also not overly sweet so it’s it’s fairly uh like a no the raspberry and lemon are pretty

Subdued and they both uh come up together so you get both evenly I think in the in the flavor profile um refreshing light uh and despite being a cocktail I think it’ll you’ll feel it but also you won’t necessarily taste it the best cocktail we’ve had in um a couple hours yeah that’s

Fair i’ been fair to we’re also back to Disney ownership it’s not a third party it’s not an operating participant if you will and then you want to try it without alcohol if I have to I think of the non-alcoholic stuff that’s one of my that’s one of the better Juice drinks

We’ve had today I like that I would I would drink that yeah it’s weird I think this should be served in more like a a bigger cup you know because refreshing sharable this one’s nonalcoholic you don’t want to sample that you want to be refreshed by right you you could drink

This for a while I feel like this would just kind of tickled my fancy and then I would still be thirsty well now that Eric’s fancy is tickled let’s move on sometimes it’s easier than other times Well Tom these both look kind of the same they’re not

Though one’s in a champagne glass and one is in a cone oh no what do you blind it’s dripping of course it’s dripping it’s 80° swirled showcase wow that open right to the page that’s a magnificent moment um so this is a strawberry basil sorbet in a waffle

Cone have some no let me feed you weirdo open wide the whole thing I’m not traumatized that little kid is also I don’t love it no no with all the they’ve had so many creative things are the peanut butter and jelly soft Ser there’s so it’s not creamy it’s like a sorbet

It just tastes icy tastes like ice yeah all right the receipts flying away I give this a two this you want it here I just want know it matches your skin color really that bad yeah it’s look they’re the same color it tastes like if you put chalk into an ice cream

Oh it’s a two okay and this is the same ice cream but it’s going to be in a it’s a yeah so it’s the Boulevard Brewing Company Quirk strawberry banana whip hard Seltzer Quirk Kansas cers are the best Kansas City Missouri we we were just there and several people from here

Forced us to bring back like 10 cases of Quirk because it’s so good those people are in your house and then we found out they have Quirk at total one that is Jill told me she saw Quirk at on total win’s inventory yesterday online I mean it’s certainly better I mean The Quirk

Is great I mean cool same can I get just The Quirk just the just the tip of the Quirk is it like Pinnacle whip they’re not selling just The Quirk they’re better than that though don’t we have enough Quirk here oh The Quirk is that is good you

Should share some of your case with any of the quirks that have whip in the name are like have a creamy like note to them a creamy Quirk creamy Quirk Clementine cream is a flavor what decade is it 19 1910 so the saves it I’d say it makes it

Brings it up to a four Clementine Quirk my name is Clementine Quirk and I work here in theik be out of seven four Spike the be Sports Clementine Quirk do you want to eat this with your Spike the be sport oh what is that this is the Liquid Nitro honey marscapone cheesecake with

Fresh honey granulated honey and honey me blueberry compost presented by the national Honey board you would be forgiven for thinking that’s scrambled eggs and out of Disney World they’re not liquid it’s great I didn’t expect it to be it’s kind of gritty Mar Capone cheese that’s fantastic it’s really good we

Didn’t give a rating to those I said this is a four what’ you give the cone a two two yeah two a four the cork pulls it up the cork can only do so much this is like a five this is a seven for me is

It a seven I love it Mar compone is so rich that sweetness um the mix of the Beres it is very good I love it this is my favorite dessert at the festival really yeah I absolutely adore have it and it’s a nice big serving too this is heavy this is a

Heavy plate that’s a seven for me would you give it a five I could be persuaded go six I don’t know what seven to me is like you can’t improve upon it I don’t think I can improve upon that okay it’s a seven so this is kind of our last

Festival influx probably in this park um because I think they’ll finally be done over there probably by July and and uh food and wine um but uh there actually is another um they’re still working on that other pad of Festival boots out by imagination the booth is

There it’s not done yet Florida Fresh So what they’re doing in the meantime this could change by tomorrow who knows Florida fresh is temporarily on the right side of the Odyssey and so we’ll start with Florida fresh um which may eventually be out by imagination when

They finish uh but for now um and even the book says between World Showcase and Imagination that didn’t happen um grilled warm water lobster tail with key lime butter this is very calming music I need this right now wow look at the side look at that look how thick that is

Pretty good pretty big that’s a lot of lobster I think it’s fantastic it’s delicious this is one of the top things I’ve had today the butter I wasn’t sure what it was going to taste like but it it complement this Lobster really well I’m going to give

This a seven so it’s it’s a rich butter flavor like you’re used to having with probably lobster tail anyway um but there is sort of this there is a hint of that key lime flavor right um but it’s just enough this might be one of if not

The best Savory item I’ve had at a festival period at least quality-wise like a quality lobster tail at an Epcot festival I may am I actually pinch me Eric I don’t know that I’m alive right now this camp be real this is phenomenal s s yeah

Absolutely what was the price I need to know the price 1125 not bad that is an unbelievable lobster tail for 1125 it’s sharable too I mean you you had a really big chunk had a reasonable first bite I took a chunk out of it and there’s still plenty left yeah fantastic

Love it we’re not topping that today but okay we’ll keep going though cubanito tiny Cuban sandwich uh with moo uh MO is it moo or Mojo moo moo marinated pork belly ham Swiss cheese pickles and stone ground mustard sauce sorry usually I know that’s moo but I’ve

Been out in the sun the whole day I expected our ratings to go down cuz it’s the end of the day and then we’re like both like this might be the best thing I’ve ever had I don’t know what happened behind the scenes but it’s been a very

Positive day you just wore it’s all over your shirt thank God C it wouldn’t be a festival without me spilling something or a bird crapping on you again this is really good it looks like this pork is dry but I it’s juicy very juicy the bread is perfectly toasted it’s real

Crispy on the outside soft on the inside the pickles match perfectly with everything in here cheese this is this a s this is one of the best Cuban sandwiches I’ve had had at least look I haven’t had one in Miami I’ll let you know actually I think Tampa people and

Miami people argue about the origin of the Cuban sandwich yeah everyone assumes it’s Miami because Miami has this large Cuban population but there are a number of people in Tampa that say it originated with workers there I hav’t had one in Tampa either yeah can I have a napkin yeah that was

Super greasy that was a seven seven wow what is happening two sevens in a row it’s cuz we’re on the media list we have to keep it deep this is the Cucumber watermelon slushie with gin I couldn’t tell you what kind lots of gin today it was Jin

Because Jin’s like a lighter cucumber it’s a lighter liquor right it’s good for these lighter refreshing cocktails right yeah be a little bit weird with bourbon I guess bourbon we need for food and wine I think it’s good it’s hard for me to get past just that very strong

Cucumber I don’t really like that strong cucumber taste myself I know it’s very popular and in with people these days but that is strong I it’s a little sharp I like it again like drink every time you hear Tom refreshing I think it’s like a four well it’s cucumber

Right that’s the reason people drink stuff with cucumber is because some people find it refreshing other people have some of the cucumber and then they burp all day and taste cucumber and it’s off pudding I’m not saying it happened today but I’m not saying it hasn’t um I

Give it like a four I I agree with you but four is still you know over halfway drinkable I think people will enjoy it uh so the other half of this booth is what is actually supposed to be in here uh which is going to be the Citrus

Blossom right uh this is going to be the key lime wine slush oh it’s great I love festivals they’re the best this Festival the festival it’s got that nice lime flavor smooth it’s cool I can’t say refreshing is it like a fro it’s not like a fro I

Mean the texture is like a fro holy tart it is tart wow but I me you know going to be lime right I think people will love that I think it’s fantastic and for the cocktails I’m going to strong am I going to go with another seven I think it’s a seven I

Think it is on the cocktail meter I think it’s maybe the best second best cocktail we’ve had all day I I’m not a big key lime guy so but I can understand I’m not either but I’ve learned enough doing reviews that what people like about key liim is the tartness and it is

That doesn’t get much more tart than that a lot of success today but you know what folks the day is Young we have one more stop and it is a full entree hi everyone it’s Ashton brace with wdw news today we are here at the second day of

Flower and garden here at Epcot uh yesterday unfortunately the land cart did not open with the rest of the boots today it is open open and I went and got three food options three new food options to review for you guys the first thing we got was the um asai parfait

Acai parfait is acai and then uh Greek yogurt blackberries blueberries and honey Renova all mixed together it’s actually pretty okay it’s nothing that I would rush here to Epcot to go try um but if you missed breakfast and you’re passing by there or you just got off sore in I

Think it’s a really nice alternative um again it’s Greek yogurt so if you don’t like Greek yogurt skip it it is it does still have that very bitter Greek yogurt taste um but the sa does level that out I do think the uh granola reminds me a little bit of um Honey Nut

Cheerios Honey granola kind of makes sense um but that was a nice little sweetness to it the berries however were a little mushy that’s fairly typical for these prepackaged options but um all alt together it’s it’s edible it’s good it’s just nothing to write home about um next

Up we had the roasted red pepper hummus very similar to the As in that it’s nothing you need to rush here to Epcot to try it is a good alternative you miss breakfast get the as you missed your snack get the hummus it’s a Savory option it’s a healthier option than say

Your typical Mickey bar or um a churo so if this is something you’re into definitely give it a shot it does have a smokey aftertaste to it so I’ll warn you on that um the cucumbers are a little bit mushy in here but again prepackaged it’s edible it’s just a little off right

Uh everything else though was is decent I’d give it again four out of seven just because not going to rush here not going to get it again likely um but it’s good and then finally my favorite something you do need to rush to evcot for is this uh Florida smoothie it tastes like

Summertime it tastes like summertime in Florida um um it’s pineapple mango and oranges all of those flavors come through really brightly however I do think um that the Orange is the base flavor you get pineapple sometimes you’ll get mango and others A Little Bit Stronger but the Orange is consistent I

Love this drink I will get this time and time again it’s also really pretty so if you’re an Instagram person or a tick tocker this would be really fun for like those pictures that you might be taking um in your orang bird merch uh it’s just really pretty drink it is a little

Chicken sandwich this is not it is part of the festival but it is a full-on entree so this is not you’re coming in to snack you’re coming in to eat this is look at the size of this behem this is definitely what I want at the end of

This day what I will display I’m sure you can buy it from a catalog sorry the internet I’m old we three different here so I’m just saying those three years feel like a lifetime southern fried chicken sandwich with hot honey and pickles on a Brios pun would you like to try

This for being a hot honey chicken sandwich it’s not super spicy I’m not getting really a kick but the honey flavor is really Pleasant it’s a nice thick piece of chicken it’s beautifully fried the exterior the right amount of crunch it’s not hard to bite into the bread is soft and and bright

For the sandwich buttery um all the toppings work it’s it’s a nice entree I would have this really I give us a six I don’t know why but I kind of wanted to have a waffle in the top and bottom instead of bun we could make it

You want want to buy you two Le waffles we can make it right now it’s like 30 bucks let’s food blog it we’ll do a food hack right now wow it would be like a it wouldn’t be that much with Le waffles like three something four about five

Well the orange bird one’s 419 so the got be cheaper or something so you could for a couple dollars more try to do it I don’t know that a waffle is the right waffle for that do you like it yeah good I like the chicken but it’s

Good cuz that’s the main component yeah the chicken the chicken is like popey chicken but it’s good it’s not like popey’s you ever had a Popeye before I’ve had look at me I’ve had a lot of Popeyes well I love Popeyes so Popeyes is great better than KFC from the Bronx we have

[Applause] Popeyes he all right my braces are probably full of sandwich but I don’t care it’s time to finish this with you know we’re having a blood orange hibiscus Margarita Eric give me the spike to be sport which is perfect for blood orange Margaritas of course this is Tera Mana

Good I am not really drinking girl but this is good I am not really drinking girl yeah I have well hey I used to drink a lot back in like well was 10 years ago didn’t we all I still who likes Margaritas can someone who likes Margaritas try this I think it’s good

But I’d like a second opinion you don’t have to be on camera I just want to know thoughts so the margarita is actually very good it’s a little syrupy but everyone here agreed better than the Mexico one so I’m going to tell you if you want a festival Margarita that is

Not only full size that blows the Mexico Margaritas away going to give that a five five there five out of seven the the sandwich or this thought I gave a six people say six on the margarita all right I’ll I’m not a big Margarita guy
