Foodie Guide, Special Events By July 11, 2023 No Comments

The time of year all foodies have been waiting for is just a few weeks away. And you know what it is – the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival presented by CORKCICLE! This celebration kicks off on July 27 and runs through November 18, 2023, and is filled with thrilling and delicious offerings celebrating the various cultures and cuisines across the globe.

With nearly 30 – yes, you heard that right – Global Marketplaces this year, your taste buds will go on a journey with flavors, ingredients and signature delights from various countries around the world. This year, the Festival not only welcomes new dishes, like the Dark Chocolate Fondue from The Alps and the Chilaquiles from Flavors of America, but also four brand-new Global Marketplaces – Char & Chop, Wine & Wedge, Bubbles & Brine and Swirled Showcase! Also, experiment with delicious flavors at Brew-Wing Lab at the Odyssey where guests will embark on a flavorful adventure, featuring the culinary creations – and madcap mishaps – of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant, Beaker, from Muppet Labs!

As you taste your way throughout the Festival, you’ll want to take part in a returning fan-favorite, Emile’s Fromage Montage. This delicious food stroll features several cheesy goodies from the Global Marketplaces. Simply pick up a Festival Passport and collect stamps by purchasing five of these items. Once you’ve gotten them all, head over to Shimmering Sips for a special redemption prize.

But that’s not all! As the sun goes down, the tunes come out with the Eat to the Beat Concert Series presented by Florida Blue Medicare featuring nightly performances from local and renowned musical acts. Check out the full line-up here.

Cooking up the Magic: White Corn and Mangalitsa Pork Arepas with Hogao Recipe

Cooking Up the Magic at Home By July 7, 2023 No Comments

Trying new foods is a great way to experience a country and its culture. If you’ve wanted to experience Colombia and all it has to offer, you’ll be excited to learn about the new Adventures by Disney trip to Colombia. This trip is an excellent introduction to the country’s fantastic food, friendly people, joyful music, and astonishing natural beauty. The country also served as inspiration for Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Encanto,” which introduced us to Mirabel and the entire Madrigal family!

One of the highlights of the trip is the opportunity to learn to make arepas – a traditional Colombian dish – just like Julieta Madrigal, Mirabel’s mom, did for her family in the film. Just thinking about it made us hungry for arepas! So, we had to ask Colombian-born Disney Chef Danny Contreras for an arepa recipe – a favorite from the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival recipe vault.

Arepas on plates

Arepas start with three simple ingredients: pre-cooked corn flour, water, and a little fat, such as butter, to bind the dough together. They can be made savory or sweet with meat or cheese. Chef Danny loves to make arepas with his daughter as a way to share his Colombian heritage. Chef Danny’s father was known for saying, “A meal without an arepa isn’t a complete meal.”

The recipe we have for you today is filled with pork rillettes, a cooking style for the pork, and topped with hogao, a Colombian tomato-based sauce with garlic and cumin.

Here is a delicious arepa recipe for you to get a taste of Colombia from your own home. Included on the recipe is artwork of Julieta, drawn specially for you by Disney Animation Supervisor Michael Woodside.

Chef Danny recently chatted with Thomas Mazloum, president of Disney Signature Experiences, about arepas and the new Adventures by Disney trip to Colombia.

New Updates on San Fransokyo Square at Disney California Adventure Park

News By June 28, 2023 No Comments

At Disney California Adventure park, the San Fransokyo Public Works Department has been diligently beautifying and making improvements to the local cannery district, which is home to a diverse neighborhood of eateries and businesses. In our previous update, we looked at a few of the landmarks and establishments you’ll see in the industrious mash-up city from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Academy Award-winning film “Big Hero 6.”

Today, we’re excited to share that, over the summer, the local eateries will start to introduce delicious new menu offerings! Starting in mid-July, you’ll be able to sample new San Fransokyo selections at Lucky Fortune Cookery, and the Port of San Fransokyo Cervecería will officially open. In the weeks following, additional dining options, unique shopping and more will be introduced as the transformation of this thriving seaside plaza continues through mid-August.

When the transformation is completed, locations across the area – from the Cappuccino Cart outside the San Fransokyo Gate Bridge to The Bakery Tour – will be decked out in street art and colorful banners celebrating the Big Hero 6 team after their victory over Yokai.

Let’s explore more places you’ll be able to visit in San Fransokyo Square!

You’ll have the opportunity to interact with Hiro and his huggable healthcare companion, Baymax, who will say hello outside the Hamada Bot Shop. This is where the Big Hero 6 team builds and innovates their hi-tech gear, so you may also see a few of their upcoming inventions.

San Fransokyo Maker’s Market

Near the Hamada Bot Shop will be the San Fransokyo Maker’s Market, a storefront stocked with unique apparel, homewares and more featuring Baymax and friends. In the concept art above, the market’s shelves are situated on robot storage cases, with decommissioned battle bots on display. If you turn a sharp eye to the rafters overhead, you may spot the local battlebot champion, Hiro’s Megabot!

Across the way, a vending machine dispenses collectible golden medallions featuring Baymax and other iconic images from San Fransokyo.

The diverse array of flavorful fare in San Fransokyo Square will include current favorites and new creations inspired by Asian cuisine, as well as the Big Hero 6 themselves. Let’s check out the dining destinations you’ll be able to try.

Aunt Cass Café

Aunt Cass Café, the second bakery café operated by Hiro’s loving aunt, will serve dishes, soups in freshly-baked Boudin sourdough bread bowls and more inspired by Japanese cuisine. On the outside of this quick service restaurant, you’ll find a mural of Aunt Cass’ lucky pet cat, Mochi.

An old fishing net tannery across from the café is being converted to Rita’s Turbine Blenders, a giant drink dispenser offering delicious margaritas and icy beverages. This refreshment stand is owned and named after the repair technician who maintains the floating wind turbine, resembling a giant koi fish, that sits atop the structure.

In addition to these locations, you can expect new menu items at Cocina Cucamonga and Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop. Keep an eye out for the Disney Eats Foodie Guide, coming soon, for the full list of cuisine to come.

For more than two decades, Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen has been revered for its warm hospitality, French Quarter flair, bold flavors, and famous, hot beignets! Building on this rich tradition, the iconic restaurant has evolved with a fresh new look, new name and new menu! The location is celebrating its reopening as Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill & Patio, a modern, casual and fun celebration of the Gulf and Pacific coasts, and Beignets Expressed.

Dish from Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill & Patio

The restaurant’s all-day menu features long-time fan favorites alongside new selections such as Lobster & Crawfish Sliders, Chile-Spiced Honey Glazed Grilled Salmon, Gumbo LA-LA filled with succulent seafood, the Grilled Open Faced Lobster BLT Po-Boy and the Reef & Beef, a delectable entrée of grilled shrimp and braised short ribs. This contemporary menu pairs perfectly with a newly expanded wine list from California vintners, and seasonal, seaside-style cocktails.

Beignets Expressed

And let’s not forget the famous beignets! Beignets Expressed is a fast, friendly, and fun counter-service spot, bestowing the much-loved New Orleans confection served classically (fried and topped with heaping mounds of powdered sugar) and the specialty glazed beignets, dipped, drizzled, and sprinkled in infinitely delicious flavors. Signature and seasonal glazed selections include Snickerdoodle, Fruity Crunch and Bananas Foster.

New! Clyde’s Hot Chicken

Have you had a chance to taste Clyde’s Hot Chicken yet? It’s a new cart located in the district near the Disneyland Monorail that serves scrumptious Nashville hot chicken on a stick, handmade fresh daily and available in three different heat level seasonings. If you really want to turn it up a notch, try the Hot as Cali with cayenne and habanero spices! Wowza!

Top 5 Snacks for Tweens at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park

General By June 8, 2023 No Comments

When you’re looking for refreshing ways to beat the heat, a visit to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon is a no-brainer. But did you know this rad water park is also a great place for your tween to score Instragrammable snacks that are sure to go viral?

Between catching waves in the Surf Pool, taking a plunge on Crush ‘n’ Gusher and chilling along Castaway Creek, check out these treats that aren’t just ready for a close-up, they’re guaranteed to keep you going for a whole day of fun.

1. Pineapple Upside Down Cone

If you’re looking for an explosion of flavor, the Pineapple Upside Down Cone is the one for you. DOLE Whip and vanilla soft-serve swirl served over vanilla cake pairs perfectly with caramelized pineapple and a cherry, all topped with a white chocolate-dipped cone. If this isn’t giving tropical vibes, then I don’t know what is. Find it at Happy Landings Ice Cream.

Looking for something simpler? The variety of DOLE Whip flavors that can be found all over Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon is incredible! There’s Watermelon, Mango, Pineapple, Strawberry and Raspberry. Which one will you try first?

2. The Iconic Sand Pail Sundae in a Souvenir Sand Pail

Are you and your tween up for a challenge? Gather your entire family and get ready to dive into the iconic Sand Pail Sundae from Happy Landings Ice Cream. What’s in it? Oh, you know, the usual … vanilla and chocolate swirled soft-serve on vanilla cake, then topped with waffle cone pieces, cookies ‘n cream crumbles, caramel, hot fudge, and finished with whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles and a cherry – all served in an exclusive water parks souvenir sand pail. WOW – that was a mouthful – literally!

3. Fish Tacos

Do you and your tween prefer a snack that has the perfect balance between sweet and salty? I’ve got two delicious options for you! First up is the incredible Fish Tacos. Picture this, crispy-battered fish served in a flour taco shell with pineapple salsa and chipotle slaw. YUM!

4. BBQ Grilled Chicken and Roasted Pineapple Flatbread

Where are my pizza lovers? Over at Leaning Palms, you’ll find this flatbread that features homemade BBQ grilled chicken and roasted pineapple, red onions, and cilantro with tomato sauce and mozzarella shredded cheese. It’s like 2 pizzas in one!

5. The Typhoon Tilly Sipper

Although this last one is not edible, it will help you beat the Florida heat with style. I’m talking about the Typhoon Tilly Sipper. This exclusive, limited-time sipper is available with free fountain drink refills during your thrill-packed day.

I know that all of these treats have you ready to put on your best bathing suit, grab some sunscreen and enjoy a full day of tropical adventure! The best part is that at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, there’s something for everyone. From challenging your bestie to a race on the Bay Slides to piling the whole gang into a raft on Gangplank Falls to watching your little ones play in Ketchakiddee Creek, it’s endless fun – and a delicious day – for the whole gang.
