Happiest Place on Earth

Well, for most folks.


Food & Wine 2013



Did the Kiosk & menu list come out later this year?
Seems like it to me, but then I (ever hopeful) begin looking for it in June!

Alas, this year I have some dietary restrictions. No spicy stuff. No coffee. No wine. Bummer.

But.
Terra will have fresh watermelon juice and the Refreshment Port will have Orange Dole Whip.

So here's the rest of my list (yes, I learned many Food & Wines ago to make a list - and also to get the wristband card!):

Brazil: x

Argentina: grilled beef skewer

Australia: Pavolova (sounds good)

Mexico: Taco de ribeye (yesss!) & rice pudding

Singapore: Lemongrass Chicken Curry (maybe)

China: Chicken potstickers & Silky Spun Ice in 3 flavors
(new, sounds yummy)

South Korea: x

Africa: Spinach and Paneer Cheese Pocket

Cheese: x

Brewer's Collection: x

Germany: Schinken Nudel, Roast Bratwurst & Apple strudel

Poland: Zapiekanki

Italy: x

American Adventure Coffee Cart: x

Hops & Barley: x

Florida Local: Beef Slider

Japan: Green tea Colada (maybe)

Morocco: Baklava

New Zealand: x

Belgium: 2 Belgian waffles this year! Must try BOTH:
              1 with warm chocolate ganache
              1 with berry compote
The Chilled coffee with Godiva chocolate is off my list. Major Bummer. otherwise, definitely.

France: Braised short ribs, Creme Broulee

Ireland: warm chocolate pudding (maybe)

Canada: Cheddar cheese soup, Filet mignon

Greece: Griddled cheese, spanakopita

Refreshment port: pineapple fritters (sounds interesting), fried chicken chunks with pineapple sauce (maybe), orange dole whip

Desserts & Champagne: cherry pistachio mousse (sounds good)

Hawaii: pork slider (definitely)

Scotland (NEW): vegetarian haggis, Banoffee tart (maybe)


September 27th - November 11th

Bibbidi Bobbi ...

Boo!  Boutique!

As we were walking through the always busy World of Disney store yesterday, I noticed the throng of Princesses-in-Waiting at the entrance to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique ... and could not help but wonder ... why in the (Walt Disney) World haven't the powers-that-be thought about creating a stand-alone BBB?

Because now would be a great time to do so, what with all of the new construction/development/changes planned for DTD / Disney Springs.

Unless they already have and it's in the works.
