There are several festival dishes that will look familiar from my last post, so I would retrace those steps again, but consider those dishes apart of my festival favorites. Many menu items, like Argentina’s beef skewers with chimichurri sauce and the Fisherman’s Pie, were also present at last year’s festival, which makes them reliable hold-overs […]

Epcot Int’l Food and Wine Festival 2011: Part 1
Epcot International Food and Wine Festival annually takes advantage of the beautiful Fall Florida weather and existing World Showcase pavilions to feature tapas-style dishes from around the world. There are several new booths this year, including Hawai’i, Caribbean Islands, Scandinavia, and Portugal, which also includes a Portugal Wine Bar. I’m a little sad that Puerto […]
Disney’s Wild Africa Trek: Taste of Africa
Adam and I recently went on the Africa Trek tour through the Harambe Reserve in Disney’s Animal Kingdom for his birthday.

We both kind of forgot there was an observation deck for the fireworks, […]

Epcot: La Hacienda de San Angel
La Hacienda de San Angel, which is Epcot’s newest sit-down restaurant, is located right on the water in the Mexico Pavilion. After some heavy rain the crowd had thinned out in the park. By seven o’clock, tired and wet poncho-clad families were filing out of the World Showcase while Adam, Kathleen, Mike, and I made […]
