Disney Cast Honor Black History Month Creating Soulful Dishes

News, Special Events By February 9, 2023 No Comments

This February with Celebrate Soulfully, we are commemorating Black History Month with experiences that honor Black heritage and culture through music, food, art and more.

Meet Kima and Twon, two Disney Springs culinary cast members who are sharing a piece of their heritage with dishes they have created for this celebration.

Cast Member at Poutine stand

Growing up in Colorado Springs, Kima always looked forward to her family gatherings on Sundays, when Grandma took over the kitchen with the spices of her Jamaican and Puerto Rican roots. Kima’s favorite was the jerk chicken and that’s what inspired her to create the Jamaican Jerk Chicken Frites at The Daily Poutine. Made of sweet ‘n’ hot jerk marinated chicken, pineapple salsa, scotch bonnet aioli and fries, the dish is a nod to her grandma – a tribute to the person that shaped her love for food.

“I started cooking when I was about 5 years old,” remembers Kima. “The first thing I learned how to cook was mac and cheese and collard greens and I’ve been cooking ever since.”

Poutine close up

Food has always been an important part of her life and her culture, and that’s what drove her to pursue a career in the culinary arts.

Being an only child, Kima appreciates her Disney family, who have contributed to her growth over the past 14 years of her Disney career and celebrate her accomplishments. And this is only the beginning for Kima, who has many more goals to conquer here at Disney!

Cast Member at BB Wolf's

As the oldest of 12 siblings growing up in Orlando, Florida, Twon spent a lot of time in the kitchen. With so many siblings, his parents worked, sending Twon to the kitchen at the young age of 10 to cook for his family. One of those family dishes of his youth inspired the Chicken Jambalaya Dog he created for B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co.

“As I got older, I added my own flair to it, and I found out that it’s a generational thing. My grandmother made it for my mom, then my mom made it for us, and now I’m so excited that guests at Disney Springs get to try a piece of my heritage.” His version of the dish is a combination of smoked sausage, roasted corn and lemon caper aioli served on a Tuscan roll.

Cast Member chef cooking

One of the things Twon enjoys the most about cooking is watching people’s reactions when taking that first bite of a dish he has prepared. And serving his food to guests who visit Disney Springs from around the world, has given him the perfect stage to hone his craft.

“To be honest, Disney refined me in the culinary field. I’ve learned how to be organized, make sure that my flavors are on properly and how to build new flavors. I’ve grown so much with this company, and I feel my skills are at a place I never thought they would be.”

Join us in celebrating cast members like Kima and Twon during Celebrate Soulfully and all year long. If you haven’t tried the Jamaican Jerk Chicken Frites at The Daily Poutine or the Chicken Jambalaya Dog at B.B. Wolf’s, make sure to stop by Disney Springs soon – you won’t regret it!

Deliciosa comida and More for All to Enjoy at EPCOT International Festival of the Arts

Special Events By February 7, 2023 No Comments

The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts presented by AT&T is a lot of people’s favorite things to do with mi familia. It is colorful, interactive and has delicious food inspired by Latin flavors.

Vibrante & Vívido: Encanto Cocina

Can we tell you how excited we are that the Vibrante & Vívido: Encanto Cocina Food Studio is back? With lively, rich and colorful dishes full of flavors, this is the place to experience different cuisines inspired by South America and the Disney animated film “Encanto.”

Chorizo and potato empanada and Coconut and Passion Fruit Smoothie

Located between Morocco & France, this Food Studio features a chorizo and potato empanada with turmeric and annatto aïoli; a spicy ajiaco soup with guajillo and árbol chili-spiced chicken, potato, avocado, corn and crème fraîche (gluten/wheat-friendly). For dessert, there’s a passion fruit mousse with dragon fruit jam. Yum! In addition, you can find beverages like a coconut and passion fruit smoothie (non-alcoholic), a frozen piña colada and a passion fruit daiquiri.

Carne asada with chipotle-marinated beef sirloin

Another favorite Food Studio is El Artista Hambriento near the Mexico pavilion. It’s a fiesta of flavors and features one of my favorite desserts: coconut flan! You can also enjoy dishes like carne asada with chipotle-marinated beef sirloin, sweet potato purée and crispy-fried onion; huarache de champiñones made with guajillo chile and corn masa huarache with pinto beans, oyster mushrooms, nopales, queso fresco and pea tendrils; and of course, my favorite, the flan de coco with guava sauce and whipped cream.

To drink, you have great options like Cielito Lindo artisanal Mexican craft beer; the Bombon Margarita “Marshmallow” with Ilegal Mezcal Reposado, marshmallow cordial, lime juice, agave nectar and a hint of coffee and elderflower served with a toasted marshmallow; and Las Californias, made with Tromba Blanco tequila, strawberry-lime purée and Las Californias Citrus Mexican Gin.

Besides the culinary arts, the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts also showcases the performing arts. On select dates, you can catch performances by Mexican-American Broadway star Mandy González (“Aida”) and L. Steven Taylor (“The Lion King”) as part of the amazing DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series. In addition, Peruvian harpist Victor Espinola performs at the festival. Check the My Disney Experience app for daily show times.

The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is included with valid theme park admission and a park reservation for the same date. And remember, there’s still time to enjoy the Walt Disney World Resort 50th Anniversary  celebration now through Mar. 31, 2023.  Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog for more news as we continue to share more of what the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts has to offer.

New Additions Coming to the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, Sprouting March 1

News, Special Events By January 19, 2023 No Comments

There is nothing lovelier than springtime at Walt Disney World! The days get longer, the weather warms up, and colorful flowers bloom across the landscape. And one of the best places to experience spring for yourself is at the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. Beginning March 1 and continuing through July 5, this stunning festival features alluring gardens, whimsical topiaries, lively entertainment, beautiful merchandise and delightfully fresh cuisine.

Today, we have exciting news to share. For the first time, topiaries of Mirabel, Antonio, Isabela and Luisa from Disney’s “Encanto” will make a grand appearance at the festival. Located near the EPCOT main entrance, these new topiaries are sure to be a must-do photo moment to mark your visit. (But remember: We don’t talk about Bruno.)

And that’s not all. A new Princess Tiana topiary will grace The American Adventure. Plus, we also have returning favorites such as Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs; Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook and Tick Tock Croc; Figment; Anna and Elsa; and more.

The popular Garden Rocks Concert Series is back, featuring favorite tunes at the America Gardens Theatre. More details about the musical lineup will be released soon on the Disney Parks Blog.

Treat from the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival

Get your taste buds ready; you’re in for a treat! More than 15 Outdoor Kitchens will offer specialty menus of scrumptious cuisine and beverages. One of my favorites is The Citrus Blossom which will move to a new location at Odyssey. With fresh new menu items, you’ll want to sample all the mouth-watering delights.

Of course, you can commemorate your visit with official ‘70’s inspired Orange Bird merchandise, including apparel, headwear, drinkware and much more.

Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration will have people abuzz again. This springtime scavenger hunt is fun for all ages. Follow Spike the Bee on his pollination trail, where he will “bee” busy collecting nectar and pollinating gardens at EPCOT. Once you find him in each garden on your map, add the corresponding sticker of the plant he is visiting.

EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival

On the bridge to World Showcase, you can enjoy the sights and scents of spring with Blossoms of Fragrance presented by Scentsy. Surrounded by vibrant butterfly topiaries, guests will be invited to follow their noses to six scent stations—to form lasting memories with the help of unforgettable aromas.

To experience the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, you must have both valid admission and a park reservation for EPCOT on the same date. Keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog for more details!

Downtown Disney District Welcomes Back Earl of Sandwich this February, More District Updates

News By January 10, 2023 No Comments

This year is set to be another full of magic here at the Disneyland Resort with so much to see and do. In just a few short days, the Lunar New Year celebration kicks off at Disney California Adventure park (Jan. 20 – Feb. 15, 2023), followed by the Disney100 Celebration at the Disneyland Resort beginning Jan. 27, 2023, and so much more! Over in the Downtown Disney District, they’re also gearing up for some amazing projects on the horizon.

Earl of Sandwich

For those of you who crave delicious, handcrafted sandwiches, you will be delighted to learn that the fan-favorite Earl of Sandwich will be returning to the Downtown Disney District this February! Soon you can once again look forward to one of their hot sandwiches on artisan bread, with grab-and-go options at Earl of Sandwich or table service options at Earl of Sandwich Tavern, both of which will be temporarily located at the La Brea Bakery location. La Brea Bakery is exiting the restaurant business after two decades of partnership in the Downtown Disney District. Keep your eyes peeled for Earl of Sandwich opening in the coming weeks!

And that’s not all for the east side of Downtown Disney District – as we previously shared at D23 Expo, Porto’s Bakery will be bringing their famous Cheese RollsCalifornia-Cuban cuisine and more to the district. Plans are underway to design and construct an all-new Porto’s location near the Esplanade on the footprint of the La Brea Bakery location. We look forward to sharing more about these exciting plans in the future.

As we look to the heart of the Downtown Disney District, Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen continues the evolution of their location into Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill & Patio. Soon, you’ll be able to enjoy the open, warm and welcoming ambiance across the outdoor patios, veranda and dining rooms. In fact, recent diners have already begun to enjoy the updated second floor space! Jazz Kitchen’s “all-day” menu will feature the popular Pasta Jambalaya and Gumbo Ya-Ya, plus fresh riffs using coastal-inspired ingredients like the new open-faced Grilled Lobster BLT Po’ Boy, pictured above. Signature hand-crafted beignets will continue to be a staple, with an expanded menu including specialty glazed beignets that are dipped, drizzled and sprinkled in jazzy signature and seasonal flavor combinations. Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen is closed for a short time to accommodate continued work in the first floor dining space and will debut its exciting new look and menu soon!

Disney Home and WonderGround Gallery are temporarily closed to accommodate some behind-the-scenes interior construction. But don’t worry, you can easily head over to World of Disney to pick up some favorite home decor, and enjoy a temporary pop-up WonderGround Gallery location near Star Wars Trading Post for fantastic artwork and prints!

Concept art for the Din Tai Fung restaurant coming to Downtown Disney District

And to end this Downtown Disney District update on one more delicious note, we’re super excited to reveal another look at concept art for the Din Tai Fung restaurant, which will open on the west side of the district in the future. I for one can’t wait to enjoy some dumplings in this incredible new space!

The Downtown Disney District continues to evolve and add amazing new locations and exciting offerings. Stay tuned for even more tasty treats and big reveals later this year!

And not only that, but you can bring home Figment with the brand-new Fruity Fig Bar Figment Disney Munchling. This adorable, limited-edition Disney Munchling features the sweet smell of berries and can be found both at the merchandise locations at the festival and on shopDisney. And the Figment Premium Popcorn Bucket is back, but this year with a new EPCOT 40thAnniversary strap! As you can see, there’s plenty of Figment to go around.

Can you believe that 2022 is already coming to a close? This year has been filled with delicious goodies and even the launch of Disney Eats! It should come as no surprise that Walt Disney World Resort is ending the year in style – foodie style that is – with plenty of treats to ring in 2023 with a satisfied stomach.

We don’t know about you, but we think the best way to celebrate is through food. All across the resort, there are multiple delights for you to indulge in. From the Clock Strikes 12 dessert from Toledo – Tapas, Steak & Seafood to the 2023 Celebration Mickey Piñata at the All-Star Resorts, and the Champagne Beignet at Scat Cat’s Club – Café, your tastebuds will be so excited to welcome the new year.

And if you don’t have a dining reservation at a table-service restaurant, there are plenty of quick-service locations at the Disney Resorts with delicious dishes and sips to enjoy!
