0:23

0:25
fashionably well with a collar shirt for
0:27
me that's about as fashionable as I get
0:30
for epcot's International Food and Wine
0:32
Festival which started two and a half
0:34
weeks ago join me I'm finally getting
0:38
over there I've been out of town shall
0:40
you it's about 1118 well not about it is
0:43
11:18 right now looking at my phone 84°
0:47
going to get up to about 89
0:49
today going to get a little toasty but
0:52
maybe some cloud formation a block out
0:54
the sun we'll see what happens the
0:56
archway beckons me
1:00
hey one thing I love about Disney World
1:02
not that you really even need
1:04
reservations you have to make them but
1:05
they're pretty much always available
1:07
with rare exceptions they're never
1:09
really booked up but today is a good to
1:12
go Day meaning I don't even have to open
1:15
the app I don't even have to make a
1:17
reservation all I got to show is my
1:19
annual pass when I get to the front and
1:21
I'm in we have those every so often Here
1:24
Disneyland quite isn't on that scale yet
1:26
but maybe one day maybe one day
1:28
Disneyland all right I parked over here
1:29
here in Dory
1:32
407 just like the area
1:45
clouds don't get a lot of clouds in
1:45
SoCal I was out there a lot
1:52
recently would have been really perfect
1:52
a mon rail went by right
1:55
now whoever just got to settle for Two
1:58
Tramps with there's there's one tram
2:01
it's not as great as a monel when
2:02
there's two trams I don't want to say
2:04
it's on par but
2:06
it's okay yeah still not as good as a
2:08
monreal monreal seems to be perched up
2:11
there and it's little hole right there
2:14
it's operational I just didn't catch it
2:16
on the way in and on the way out but you
2:18
can see it just hiding up there this
2:21
little cubby hole the
2:23
monil hot out here well when you're
2:26
underneath this it's not as bad but when
2:28
you're standing directly in the Sun
2:30
that's when you realize how hot it is I
2:31
get it was probably a lot warmer you
2:34
know when the last couple months I have
2:36
not been here it's kind of on the it's
2:37
not as hot it's probably 10° cooler than
2:40
it was but still definitely warm
2:44
definitely not cool by any means
2:47
whatsoever but not as hot as it was I
2:49
think I missed the cusp with the hottest
2:51
part of the summer which is kind of
2:52
planned I kind of don't want to be here
2:54
In The Heat Of Summer but yeah it's
2:55
still it's still it's still toasty on
2:57
some level and having a little cloud
2:59
form a little overcast helps
3:01
dramatically as well so kind of like get
3:04
my little uh little little uh video
3:06
selfie or video photo here in the uh
3:09
underneath spaceship earth I always
3:12
always try to do that document the
3:14
document the day here inside the mirror
3:17
oh nice look over there now I'm going to
3:19
head into the creation shop also got a
3:22
piping hot caffeinated beverage a
3:24
sugar-free vanilla latte let's see what
3:27
kind of new merch they have oh look like
3:30
they brought these back they had these
3:31
at d23 a couple d23 ago but now they're
3:34
selling them in here this one I might
3:36
you know what I might have to get this
3:38
one at some point they had these last
3:40
time I was here I think they just
3:41
brought them back haven't picked one up
3:43
yet but this might be on my radar at
3:45
some point maybe I don't know can't
3:48
decide and this is some of the food and
3:49
wine merchandise you got the little
3:51
apron right there the bib you even got
3:53
the little like pot holders the stirring
3:56
sticks all that kind of good stuff even
3:58
some pass holder exclusive of stuff like
4:00
a hat even got a little some glasses
4:03
over here and even this shirt which says
4:05
passholder on it all right here are the
4:08
here are the pins for the event I think
4:10
I might get one you got a Mickey one
4:12
here also got a figment one there maybe
4:14
I'll get a maybe I'll get a Mickey and a
4:16
figment one I like I like collecting the
4:19
Mickey and and figments all right
4:21
there's also there's quite a bit of
4:22
assortment of merchandise even like a
4:24
little cutting board now I've go down
4:25
the pen rabbit hole but I've never gone
4:27
down the little salt and pepper shaker
4:29
rabbit hole before before I don't know
4:30
if I ever will all right I'm now going
4:31
to make my way inside communicore Hall
4:34
and I got to say this is the first time
4:35
that I've seen it adorned with uh with
4:38
merchandise and all kind of different
4:40
items a lot of the same stuff that's
4:42
over in the former Mouse gears is kind
4:44
of in here it's kind of the same stuff
4:46
but on top of that they also have some
4:47
food items over here now which I haven't
4:49
seen this area used for food items
4:51
before so that's kind of neat that kind
4:52
of reminds me of what the odssey was
4:54
used for I wonder if the Odyssey has
4:55
anything in it I decided to go ahead and
4:57
head over to the Odyssey building which
5:00
for a while I believe they were using
5:02
part of it as a DVC Lounge again it's
5:04
been well over 2 months since I've been
5:06
to Epcot so kind of curious to see once
5:09
I go in here and see what kind of snacks
5:11
and foods and treats they have for the
5:14
Food and Wine Fest I don't drink wine
5:16
but I eat food I think some of this
5:17
they've had in the past I remember
5:18
having those peanut butter and jelly
5:20
sticky wings once before and I think I
5:22
even had that pickled milkshake one year
5:24
but this seems to be new a frozen
5:26
pomegranate and raspberry tea nothing
5:29
really is poping out of me here but I
5:31
will pop in and I'll pop in but
5:33
nothing's popping out at me of what I
5:36
want it's basically just all fried wings
5:38
oh it's a lab of sorts oh yeah they
5:41
definitely do not have the DVC Lounge in
5:44
the DVC Lounge I guess is back up above
5:46
the imagination Pavilion once again not
5:48
in here they moved it not having a whole
5:51
heck of a lot of luck with monal views
5:53
today I don't really like showing an
5:55
empty Montreal beam but it is so hot out
5:57
here I am not going to stand here and
5:59
weight which is rare for me but I got to
6:01
I got to find shade truthfully I've
6:03
stayed pretty spoiler-free on what they
6:05
have here I haven't really like checked
6:06
anything out about the event so I don't
6:08
even know if there is any new foods I'm
6:09
just going to do a lap see what I can
6:11
find honestly I would say probably the
6:12
worst part of this would be standing out
6:14
in the in the potent Sun waiting to
6:17
order so if I can find one that's very
6:20
shaded that's going to be my pony that's
6:22
going to be my uh my stand all right I'm
6:25
noticing over here in India there's no
6:26
one in line so I might get the chicken
6:28
Tiki solo right here with a non bread
6:31
I'll make it one of those why not let me
6:33
reiterate the sun is like scorchingly
6:35
hot I did find a little picnic table
6:37
over here in the Africa area and I ended
6:39
up getting both things from the the
6:40
India Booth over here this is a pretty
6:42
good portion but for about the same
6:44
price you can get this entire Bowl right
6:46
there the cast M was saying that it
6:48
might be one of the biggest portions of
6:50
any of the food and wine boou right over
6:52
here got a little non bread I think this
6:53
is a chicken masala and some rice
6:55
perhaps underneath it looks pretty good
6:57
pretty good size portion
7:01
I don't even know what these
7:09
are you tast of that why not you can
7:09
scoot over if you need to if you wanted
7:10
to
7:13
sit you trying different stuff today
7:15
then I'm trying to eat have you worked
7:19
your way around the world yet no this is
7:20
the first stuff I've had oh is it yeah
7:22
started on the Mexico side but look at
7:25
the size of this
7:28
portion masala oh yeah yeah we're from
7:31
the UK so we get that all the time okay
7:33
yeah so you got it yeah we kind ofed the
7:36
Friday night these are both the same
7:38
price I think if you want to be at full
7:40
this is a better better option A non
7:43
bread when did you get back from
7:44
California then was it recently few days
7:46
ago uh yeah and then I leave
7:50
tomorrow that's spicy yeah you get use
7:53
your DVC very much oh yeah yeah use all
7:56
my points riera isn't it you've got is
7:58
it I've got a few
8:00
yeah Rivier was my first home Resort
8:03
that I got definitely has some spice to
8:05
it was
8:12
it bring it's quite busy today we came
8:12
on Saturday and it was really busy we
8:13
think it was going to be quieter but
8:15
actually it's filled is it going to be
8:17
like this every day all
8:19
week I have no idea I didn't expect it
8:21
to be this busy either on a week day
8:24
yeah
8:31
I don't even remember what's inside
8:31
these I guess like some breading and PE
8:34
pee and potato pee and potato that's
8:35
right so I'm glad you guys sat down here
8:37
I would have no idea what I'm eating
8:39
it's very small yeah they very small
8:42
this this is the better deal all right
8:44
over here there's the Germany Pavilion
8:46
there's also the Alps food Booth there's
8:48
no one in that line so I am going to get
8:52
this warm swiss cheese with alpine ham
8:55
baby potatoes baguettes and whatever
8:57
cornichons
8:59
right there or maybe I'll get the warm
9:01
Swiss I don't know maybe no I'll get the
9:02
top one five 50 cents more I guess you
9:05
get the whatever the other option is but
9:08
like I like I like the ones that don't
9:09
have any lines some of them have really
9:10
long lines so I'm just going with these
9:13
short whatever the shortest lines are
9:15
and the Alps has a short line and I do
9:17
like cheese I like cheese and I like the
9:19
Alps even though I've never been to the
9:21
Alps and it's not a proper Epcot Food
9:23
fessel you do not eat on the top of a
9:25
trash can so it's got the little
9:27
baguette which is basically just like a
9:28
little piece of bread it's got the
9:30
potatoes it's got the ham it's got an
9:32
overload layers of cheese down inside of
9:36
there it's got the little folded ham
9:39
right there and then more little
9:41
potatoes underneath there yeah looks
9:44
pretty good it's pretty pretty decent
9:46
give it a quick try I mean this is
9:48
definitely a lot of cheese right there a
9:51
lot of cheese and bread and I always let
9:53
me to dip the potato inside the cheese
9:57
get a little almost get a little cheese
9:58
p right
10:08
there the cheese has a very potent smell
10:08
to it very cheesy is it swiss cheese I
10:11
think it's swiss
10:13
cheese Swiss out
10:16
cheese you can almost make a sandwich
10:18
out of the
10:19
bagette and this let me taste this ham I
10:22
think I'm just going to go in like an
10:23
animal just eat the
10:35
me I think my favorite part about it is
10:35
the cheese and these little miniature
10:46
potatoes I didn't realize underneath the
10:46
big pile of cheese is this little pickle
10:48
right here look it's like a little
10:49
little pickle on there so I made kind of
10:50
like a little half sandwich right here
10:53
with the cheese and the meat and the
10:55
baguette and the pickle and all that
10:59
kind of go in and uh let see how see how
11:02
this is let me go can I do all this in
11:03
one bite I don't know it's a big
11:09
bite I don't know if there's such thing
11:10
as a cheese quota but I think I just hit
11:11
my cheese quota got a nice view of
11:13
spaceship earth over there kind of
11:15
making it way over towards the Japan
11:18
Pavilion you can see how not a lot of
11:21
people a few people are out in the sun
11:22
but most people are commiserating and
11:25
kind of clumped together over into the
11:28
Shaded area and I can't I don't even
11:29
know why I'm walking in the sun I'm
11:31
walking brisly to get to the next spot
11:34
cuz there's no you going to have to get
11:35
in the sun either way buto it's uh it's
11:39
bright here look over here at the grease
11:41
Pavilion lot of uh look at this right
11:43
here cheese cheese lots of cheese this
11:46
looks pretty good too look it had like
11:48
spinach in that I opted not to get any
11:49
of those items but this little spinach
11:51
thing looked pretty pretty good I'm
11:53
going continue doing the the loop around
11:55
the world showcase loop as it's referred
11:58
to as I don't know if it's referred to
12:00
is that but that's what I just called it
12:01
approaching the France stand okay I
12:04
should see the tower wait there it is
12:07
there it's right over there kind of
12:08
curious to see what they have here if
12:11
there's anything different or new and
12:14
how long the line in the sun is this is
12:17
the menu some of this I really have a
12:18
hard time pronouncing like that is a lot
12:21
of words right there did you not flow
12:23
off of my tongue I know what es cargo is
12:26
that's
12:27
snails I've had snails before they're
12:29
okay okay it's not my first uh first
12:30
go-to they also have Avon water which is
12:32
kind of nice not typical Dan or smart
12:35
water but that right there would be a
12:37
tongue twister unless you are fluent in
12:39
the language right there I would have a
12:40
hard
12:41
time I would have a hard time with that
12:44
one egg goat cheese and caramelized
12:47
onions that's easier to say for me you
12:50
got the pictures is a lot easier look at
12:51
this cheese cheese cheese cheese flowing
12:55
out of the side of that one this is like
12:57
inside a little uh a little uh I don't
12:59
know what that would be like a like a
13:00
open biscuit or some sort where it's
13:02
like flowing out the cheese and the
13:04
snails out of there then you got crem
13:07
brulee down there which looks pretty
13:09
tasty I don't know if I want any
13:10
desserts but that's got to be a lot yeah
13:12
goat that's that's a lot of goat cheese
13:14
I've already hit my cheese quot so I
13:15
don't think I'm going to get that in
13:16
truthfulness I really don't have a
13:17
cheese quota it just that my belly is
13:19
full of more cheese than I've had in a
13:21
while that's what I'm meaning to say and
13:23
now over at Forest and field where they
13:26
have an Autumn chili I mean I do like
13:28
chili but again it's uh it's toasty
13:30
today the pumpkin mascar
13:34
Pony R let's just call it pumpkin
13:36
ravioli with sage Brown uh Sage brown
13:38
butter uh some sort of a cheese
13:42
peor peor Eno cheese and hazelnut
13:45
praline maybe I'll get that that looks
13:47
uh that looks pretty good the chili
13:49
looks pretty good too but man it is
13:51
again
13:53
unpleasantly warm think I'm me go with
13:56
the pumpkin you know it's a Halloween
13:57
season say Halloween like sweating your
13:59
uh sweating your backside off uh walking
14:02
around World Showcase in September no
14:05
such luck on the ravioli it's the only
14:07
item they're out of I walked to the
14:08
front cast member said we're all out of
14:10
raviola so no no luck on the pumpkin
14:12
raviola this is nice they put some kind
14:14
of shade over here again why am I not
14:17
seeing it's just what is up with the
14:18
Montreal today they're just the monals
14:21
are maybe the Montreal are having a
14:22
little uh little issue with the heat as
14:24
well I'm going to I'm going to see a
14:25
mono before I leave ooh the Bramblewood
14:28
bites I really like this take a look at
14:30
the grilled cider brine por tenderloin
14:33
but look at this Cass iron roasted
14:34
Brussels spouts and root vegetables I
14:37
love brussel sprouts I think I'm going
14:38
to get some of this didn't realize or
14:40
maybe I didn't read correctly looks like
14:41
it has some peans or pecans down in
14:44
there oh wait a second wait a second
14:45
look look at this straight up as I get
14:47
the backside of the banner there there
14:53
goes the monil over Bramble wood and
14:57
peeking up is a journey to imagination
15:00
Pavilion nicely done moal nicely done I
15:03
don't know if I never noticed this
15:04
before but there is an extreme lack of
15:07
shade at Epcot world showcas or just
15:09
Epcot in general I tried to go over on
15:12
the back side of this this water feature
15:14
is where that last last little food
15:15
stand was they did have some shaded area
15:17
little tarps that I showed but all the
15:19
picnic tables were full so I walked over
15:21
here next to the journey to imagination
15:23
Pavilion and this is where I'm going to
15:25
consume I uh bro actually the in the
15:27
picture they showed them not uh cut up
15:29
they're cut up in this bowl like they're
15:31
uh they're sliced but in the photo they
15:34
were uh fully
15:50
Sprouts oh man nice in the shade too
15:50
also got some carrots in it I don't know
15:53
about the pans I don't know I have the
15:54
nuts in there but everything else is
15:57
good I don't really like nuts with my
16:09
though the Brussels sprouts are grilled
16:19
what I take that back the nut kind of
16:19
work in this little
16:27
goulash okay also in my opinion greatest
16:27
popcorn stand
16:29
design that there is right there I just
16:31
love that retro five popcorn stand what
16:34
if there's any special popcorn buckets
16:35
right now here o I can see the monil
16:38
going by underneath spaceship earth not
16:41
a bad little view I'm going to start
16:43
heading out now you can catch it from
16:45
this way too you kind of see it around
16:47
that way too I think I'm going to start
16:48
heading out I don't know if it is the
16:50
heat is the permeating late summer heat
16:52
here or if it's just the fact that this
16:54
is my least favorite of all of the Epcot
16:57
festivals but not wasn't in here for the
17:00
whole day only for a brief amount of
17:03
time I in here a while but I wasn't in
17:05
here as long as I would normally be an
17:08
Epcot
17:09
Center yeah I would say it's probably my
17:11
least favorite of all the Epcot well
17:14
definitely without of Doubt is my least
17:15
favorite of all the Epcot festivals I'm
17:17
not saying it's a bad Festival I mean I
17:19
enjoy it I enjoy eating some foods
17:21
walking around World Showcase but when
17:23
it comes to the others it's very
17:24
lackluster in comparison to how great
17:28
the other ones flowered Garden festival
17:30
really awesome get all the topiaries get
17:32
the vibe walking around some uh some
17:35
nice you know Greenery and flowers
17:38
things like that the butterfly tent
17:40
treats nice delicious treats all of them
17:42
have foods and and things I think my
17:45
favorite is Festival of the Arts and
17:46

out for one Festival I my personal
18:18
opinion just just my opinion this is not

the one to go to cuz obviously it's
18:22
scorchingly hot I know some people only
18:24
have certain times they can come on
18:25

18:27
