Hey 2024 flower and garden has kicked off with a bang already here taking some video of some to topiaries and wouldn’t you know a bee just slammed right into my head while I was in there so I think that was my welcome I think that was the
Bee’s welcome to this year’s flower and garden vestival we’re super excited there are as a reminder there’s nothing marked in this little pamphlet anymore for y’all so it’s pretty and you can see what the things are but I know no mockins for you so what you need to do
Is go on the My Disney Experience app and they will have an allergy friendly menu there so you can look at all the options you’re welcome to print it out from there um what I will do after today of exploring around and finding all the things that are already marked and then
Also the things with modifications um I will put on my website a free pdf you’re free to download it you don’t got to give me your email or nothing you just download it and go on about your way um and that will have all of the gluten-free items all the things that
Are marked things that are unmarked so accidentally gluten-free and then the things that are glutenfree dairyfree and the items that are gluten-free and vegan so aor is board for my gluten-free people so come along ready oh I’m so excited do you think they have a playground back this year I hope their
Playground is back this year it has been too long since we’ve had a playground now I’m just getting chatty cuz I’m getting excited I haven’t even had caffeine yet okay here we go woo welcome to our first stop over here at brunch cot where you could get the avocado
Toast without the bread if you wanted that to be gluten-free so if you’re into a pile of avocado on a plate alone do it they also have a peach bini that looks lovely I think people might be surprised with my love for pineapple prominade but
I will show you in just a minute why when we see what I got to eat on my first stop here don’t pass this up if you overlook it you might regret it First stop pineapple prominade um over here we have the spicy hot dog with pineapple chutney and plantain chips and this is always a winner for me every year it’s like my first stop plus nothing’s class like a hot spicy hot dog with no bun and a glass of pineapple
Wine am right I’m all right try this first oh yeah high class okay let try it not trying to be fancy just trying to be gluten-free I don’t know it’s a spicy dog let’s see how spicy it is plantain chips dairy free too glutenfree dairy free it’s so good
I have like very high class food taste normally and I also just want hot dogs do you know what I mean like hot dogs baloney like I want all the bottom barrel and then the top of the line in between no it has a little kick to it not too
Bad this the heck way to start got a dog and a wine I’m a dog and a wine come on let’s go another winner winner get a beer with with your dinner winter dinner something anyways go over here because they have glutenberg blonde Ale on top
That means that it does not come out in a bottle and yes they do clean the lines in between the festivals and in between beers so this is a delicious option to get every time I don’t have a stand or I think somebody going to do this by hand
So over at the Canada stand which is Magnolia Bloom I’ll check that back they have glutenberg blonde ale glutenberg is a fully gluten-free beer it’s not a gluten removed beer it’s not a gluten reduced beer it is a gluten-free beer that is all that is what that Brewery makes they
Have several different kinds I’m partial to the Red Ale myself they also have a triple which I will get at times oh no no no sorry that’s not glutenberg hey glutenberg make a triple um anyway so red Di and then blonde I just got a little sixer today because my kid has a
Soccer game soon and I need to go see that and participate like a responsible adult so I a sippy cup of beer at a festival in Epcot on top is there anything better than this there’s not there’s not tell me if there is I don’t there
Is next we have our beloved brow Market over by Germany they have the potato pancakes that we all love within House made applesauce they are gluten-free and vegan as is they did take away the non- plant-based option from last year which big tier for that but there is a
Sparkling wine with apple aor looks good okay so this has nothing to do with flower and garden but I just thought that you might want to know so if you were over in Germany um and maybe none of the selection sounds appetizing to you or you just need something a little
Bit more substantial because they do tend to be smaller things smaller plates that kind of thing um then you can go into into the Germany Pavilion itself all the way where the Beer Garden restaurant is where the entrance to that is there is a quick service stand out
There that sells brats and tricked yeah so at that brat sand you can actually ask for a gluten-free bun and get yourself a glutenfree brat with sour carut and chips sometimes the chips are okay sometimes they’re not but it’s also a dollar less if you get it without the
Chips so just that’s something good to know they do have Redbridge logger which is a gluten-free beer it comes in a bottle it’s made with Excuse me Sor gum so it’s not necessarily my favorite um but a lot of people like it and you you
Know what this is sort of the dry area is what I call it because you get to Mexico and you really don’t have anything for us until you get to Italy if you want champagne or wine and then beyond that if you want something else
So that’s a really good tip to know and they’re not too expensive they oh they also they also have vegan brats so you can ask for a gluten-free vegan BR and you can get them there as well and that tell you is worth the price of admission to this YouTube
Video nothing to see here folks nothing to see just keep on walking unless you want to get yourself a bayou cocktail that would be safe for you all of the food is not and there are no modifications sorry favorite stops for a lot of festivals tsunami over here in Japan
They have the frie this year which is strawberry pineapple and leafi wrapped in coconut rice that is glutenfree as is it can also be dairy free if you leave off the Whip and don’t forget about the couple of drinks they have here honey be honey bee so the cool
Thing about over here is that we do have a dish which I’ll show you in a moment um but much like they want us to go buzzing around like a bee I suppose they put the dessert on the other side of the walkway so you do have to leave this
Stand to get this stand’s dessert so over here at honey beasto they have a chicken and waffles not not for you they have a honey glazed cauliflower so that comes with honey roasted carrot puree wild rice pilaf vegetables honey blistered grapes and sunflower brittle so it’s a dairy free if you leave off
The brittle and the puree it is glutenfree if you eat the whole thing there wasn’t another way to say that okay and then across across the way they tricked you so it’s on that on that sign it has like the dessert there but then it’s like you got to go on a
Scavenger hunt over that yonder to get it and then over there you can get the liquid Nitro honey marscapone cheesecake it has fresh honey granulated honey and a honey me blueberry compo so I feel like it’s going to have notes of Honey um and cheese but we’ll see what happens so
That has been the biggest one the cauliflower is labeled in the app as gluten-free the other one is not labeled in the app as gluten-free okay um my father always taught me to eat my dessert first and I disagree with him so now that I’m an
Adult I don’t have to do what he says unless he’s watching sorry Dad so I’m going to do the cauliflower first cuz I’ve just been dying for this one I love carrots also they’re good for your iay like B kerot and all that stuff if you e
Enough of them I think it’s kind of a self-tanner cuz you start to turn orange oh my god oh with the brittle on top mhm here somebody else is saying it’s delicious they’re not lying oh my God I like it like we’ll talk about cheesecake in a minute but also over
Here at the stand we have ice cream vanilla peanut butter and grape jelly the grape jelly one is dairy free as well the other two are gluten-free there’s also a strawberry basil sorbet with or without a hollered Selzer and here it is here it is here it is
That’s like the grapes and asparagus in there oh sorry I just had to like Pate a little bit prate where of the day look got some cheesecake so it’s really cool cuz they scoop up like the Mars Capone cheese stuff cheesecake they put it in the L liquid nitrogen thank you
Words and then it gets all hard and crusty and then they put it on this plate and then this lady or whoever’s back there takes the Mallet and they whack and they whack it until it spreads open so I’m just saying that is an aggressive position and there are some
Days where I would like to be in charge of the mading today’s not one of them but there are days you know what I mean those days look at that all gooey let’s see Fe like honey ready for on a February day it’s very good it’s very rich like like Mars Capone
Che it’s so good look at this I don’t have anything to add to it I would say like add more of this add more of this don’t don’t add a thing it’s get it like it is dang dang let me make sure you can hear this right dang
Get both of these dises they right across the street from each other split up divide and conquer and then everybody wins yeah there’s also a um streusel here I’ll talk about that later but there’s a peach honey Peach oh jeez where’s my honey peach cobbler freeze
With strucel and I do believe that the strucel is made with cup for cup um so the non-alcoholic one would be fine there is one with alcohol in it and it has a blueberry b cup my some so alcohol because of the distillation process is gluten-free there are um rules to that
Right so if the alcohol has flavors added in after the distillation process that could mess with that and make it no longer gluten-free so whenever I see a flavored um vodka or flavored liquor I usually just sort of moonwalk myself on out of that business because there’s so
Many other things around so it’s not really like necessary if that’s what you’re into um that’s that’s my personal rule of time we can chat about it call oh laa fresa you had me at wait never mind just kidding there’s nothing here for you to eat but you can get a
White sangria or a tropical slush made with minute made grapefruit and simple syrup okay over at the permanent Festival stand that we have here in Morocco you will find the KFTA Kebab so we have grilled lamb or Trula chicken those have agreed to stick around year
Round for us so you can always get that but don’t skip out on the cider flight that they have here or the pomegranate Mimosa which is delicious France if I had a want want sound I would employ it when I talk about this stand there is a duck laurange here that looks wonderful
The only gluten containing part of it is in the sauce Unfortunately they will not modify it to remove the sauce so uh skip on by and go check out some entertainment Couple of things over at refreshment Outpost we have the seasonal fruit parfait with sweet chili sauce that is gluten-free and vegan you can remove the chili sauce if you want there’s also an ice cream flow and a lavender Martini that are gluten-free ah the soothing sounds of children beating on drums la la
La we have arrived in Mexico which is always one of the most weighted places during any Festival they have three items here this year and yes they are all glutenfree they have one that they brace pork on a fried corn shell a chimal and then the fla there have been
Times where people have been able to get the pork without cheese making it dairyfree as well though it’s not guaranteed the stand usually tells me that the Margaritas at the stand are not gluten-free totally up to you the Citrus PL awesome located in The Odyssey Center unfortunately doesn’t
Have any food options for us but they do have the orange lemon smoothie and that is gluten-free and vegan there is also a wine key lime slush here that’s gluten-free and dairy free okay and’s been throwing us some stuff for the last few festivals first we have the bakam
Chini which is a mozzarel grape tomatoes and pesto sauce this one is glutenfree and it comes in a little cup for drinks here you can get prco wine sangria margarita with lemonchello or Italian mineral Water for next we have the land card which is located by the butterfly garden here there is a strawberry fruit bar that is gluten-free and vegan there’s also an asai parfait that has yogurt berries and granola it is listed as gluten-free these are not gluten-free oats these are not oats that are safe
For celiacs but Disney labels all oats gluten-free so anyways So over at Florida fresh Florida fresh brush brush oh you can’t see my ears there you go I can see my ear um they have the lobster so it’s gluten-free as is you know soal um but it it can be dairyfree if you are willing to wait 10 minutes
For them to like make completely make one from scratch and there’s cross contamination issue because they use butter on the grill um so they’d have to like I don’t even know how to eat it oh look they cut it out of there for me but it won’t come all the way out so
Just look away if this grosses you oh that’s handy dandy that’s a lot to guys it’s good it’s small it’s $11 whatever the sauce is on top like an aoli I’m down for it it’s very good and my friend Christy I’m going to pull her on camera cuz she had the Cucumber water
Cucumber watermelon cucumber watermelon slushie with jinin M and she said I think all the Jin was on the top M oh no no it’s delicious but I think that’s where the Gin was located so it’s a shot and then the drink afterwards probably all right but it’s very good and it was
Like filled up just a little bit more like halfway to the top and you get a snack with it there’s some watermelon on top drink barg drinking a snack please here we go okay we’ve got this refreshment port which is also a permanent stand over by Canada and at
This one they do have a traditional poutine which we’ll talk about in a minute and a buffalo chicken tender poutine which is plant-based that one is not gluten-free but there is a chance that you may be able to get the sauce and something else because the sauce itself is gluten-free here’s a
Traditional poutin which is gluten-free as is nuto I know IAL reminder the refreshment pour over between Canada and the entrance to World Showcase still has a traditional poutin which is made gluten-free I don’t know why they’ll tell them that you have an allergy you know what I mean but it’s gluten free
It’s very gone it’s half gone yeah yeah well I’ll put a picture there on there the cheese curs are a little cold tonight I meanes should be cold but in there I told her to run so many and there was a whole disturbance behind you like a whole unhappy on wdw news
Yeah and so we went over to the Canada stand because oh my girl is back got 12 O do they have a bigger one no they should have a boot oh it’s Canada it’s good the draft beer it’s nice in a non creepy way I was
Like can I video record you pouring the beer and then he was smiling which is very kind and I said sir you’re not in the video it’s just the the beer you went oh not have told him that he probably just crushed his dream guy she’s the star of the show she’s the
Star of the whole festival get this beer it’s good and it’s they flush the lines and they do the whole thing and it’s perfectly fine to have get it at Farmers Feast over by test track we have three different menus they kind of alternate so we’ve got the corn on the cob which
Will say the whole festival the rest of the menu will have different things with risoto so seared scallop with tomato risoto um a tenderloin with corn risotto and then a f loin with spring P risotto which is we have here today excuse my camera for being in the middle of my
Finger anyways um so the all of those are going to be gluten-free but they do all contain dairy um this grilled street corn on the cob is a favorite although mine was teeny tiny that one is gluten-free and Vegan TR and trellis has been a hit with their dessert which we will cover in just a moment but they also have a gluten-free vegan option you do have to have modifications there aren’t a ton of gluten-free vegan options this year so we’re happy to have this one here this
One is The Impossible Farmhouse meatball if you remove the lentil bread or omit it I should say it has spinach veggies and a creamy herb oi and those are all going to be gluten-free and vegan the hit of the show is is chocolate terrarium I don’t
Know what’s in it except for uh no gluten some Dairy and lots of love it’s wonderful it just it is they also have a raspberry and lemon herbal tea with or without liquor that would be gluten-free as well so overall TR and trellis or TNT as I like to call it is a
Hip I have no idea if this will work or not cuz this music is so loud and YouTube might tell me you can’t post it so we’ll see what happens um anyways this is The Impossible farmhouse meatball it does come with a lentil bread spinach veggies and a creamy herb
Aoli so without the lentil bread it is glutenfree and also dairy free because the dish is naturally vegan as is oh so the spinach is yeah like a piece of spinach not cooked that’s true it’s just a get your leafy greens fun fact you know that spinach helps with depression so if you’re
Feeling sad while you’re watching this just take a pause make yourself some spinach and come back couldn’t bite you might help with depression couldn’t bite you’re very funny is that a mint leaf I don’t even know what’s happening in there it’s tasty it has the impossibly taste right definitely had that but the
Veggies and the aoli they all work very well together it’s a nice little fting even without the bread so they go for it okay we got one more so this is the oh dear I lost my place what is this chy this is the chocolate mousse terrarium with matcha crumble and chocolate
Soil it’s gluten-free it does contain dairy and we dove into that sucker because we can’t hold us back from a good dessert no it’s delicious yeah it’s sweet you think that was your food you think this was mine if not we’re just going to that’s what we’re doing today we’re just
Going to swap it up swap it up wait here let me give you a little light it has all that matcha on the top that looks like a crumbled burger that looks like something we don’t want to eat but it’s delicious it’s delicious it’s sweet though and maybe
Eating it at the same time as the impossible not the best would take a break see the Macha crumbles on top it tastes like a chocolate chip to me I don’t know why it’s just like is they have um some of them are bigger pieces is it chocolate chips that I’m but they
Oh it’s just Crum bigger crumbl but it tastes like choc it does I got nothing I like it it’s good the smth is a winner winner ma dinner hey hey what can I say that wraps up our trip around the world today so this Festival is a good one I
Highly recommend it and much like Tiana here we are just getting started with the magic come on back next time see you soon Cheers
