A little vlog from my short trip to Disney World. A little vlog from my short trip to Disney World. Such a fun day with @touringplans, @millennialsonmainst, and @h.a.m.onthestreet!

What’s your favorite?

Here are my top five favorite cocktails of Festiva Here are my top five favorite cocktails of Festival of the Arts. 🎨 Damp January was fun for a moment - and these drinks were totally worth it.
These are my most skippable items at EPCOT Interna These are my most skippable items at EPCOT International Festival of the Art - the flavors were just lacking or off for me, but I will say a lot of these dishes were pretty. 

There are a few other items I wouldn’t reccomend so come back for my full review on the worst value dishes of the fest (looking at you Mozzarella Paint Palette 🎨).
Let’s talk about the best savory eats at this ye Let’s talk about the best savory eats at this year’s EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. 🎨 This festival runs daily through February 20th. 

Are you heading to this years festival?
The best of EPCOT’s International Festival of th The best of EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts. 🎨🌐🌈 I’ll be sharing all the best of the fest over the next few days - but for now, let’s take a look at some of my favorites in different categories. 

Best Dish 🎨 Tomato Soup
➡️ with Pimento Cheese, Bacon, and Fried Green Tomato Grilled Cheese
⭐️ 10/10. This is actual perfection, this grilled cheese is cooked perfectly and I genuinely could not formulate words when eating this because it was that good. The soup is also amazing, dip this sandwich in or enjoy the soup on the side - either way, it’s the best $6.50 you will spend at this festival. 
📍Pop Eats
💵 $6.50

Best Drink 🎨 Cold Old Fashioned 
⭐️ 10/10. Simply perfection. This is a great combination of coffee and the flavors you already love in an Old Fashioned. However, even the bourbon haters will adore this - think of it as your gateway to becoming a lover of Old Fashioneds (your life will never be the same once you become one). 
📍The Craftsman’s Courtyard
💵 $11.00

Best Dessert 🎨 Hummingbird Cake
➡️ Banana Cake with Pineapple, Coconut, Pecans, and Cream Cheese Frosting with Banana Sorbet
⭐️ 10/10. We all know sweets aren’t my thing - however, this cake is an exception. The flavor is phenomenal, the cream cheese frosting is perfection, and the banana sorbet makes an excellent compliment. If this doesn’t return next year, I will send Bob Iger an email every day of the festival asking for its return. 
📍The Artists Table
💵 $4.75

Best Value 🎨 Cast Iron-roasted P.E.I. Mussels ➡️ with Sautéed Tomatoes, Garlic, and Fresh Herbs
⭐️ 9.5/10. This bowl is massive and $7.50, need I say more?! The flavor is excellent, they are grilled to perfection in front of you. My only complaint is one slice of bread isn’t enough for sharing so -.5 points. 
📍The Craftsman’s Courtyard
💵 $7.50

A big thank you to @touringplans for letting me join them as they explored day one of this festival. And a big thank you to Colin and Bella aka @millennialsonmainst for pulling off the greatest Disney Surprise, and a special thank you to Colin for being a great hand model. 

There is so much more from Festival of the Arts to come!

They order the food, I pick up the mobile order, and then I’m rating everything they ordered me - including some unique and interesting eats I would have NEVER ordered myself. Also, see what item started at a 2/10 and ended as 9/10, what can I say it grew on me! 

Check out the link in my bio to watch brand new vlog over on my YouTube, and a big thank you to my friends at @touringplans for this fun day in Disneyland.
I tried everything at Enchanted Rose so you don’ I tried everything at Enchanted Rose so you don’t have to and here are my ratings! 🥀 I fully believe this is the best lounge in Disney World - the food is amazing and the drinks are phenomenal. Do yourself a favor and take the monorail over to the Grand Floridian after a day in Magic Kingdom and just enjoy! 

What’s your favorite from Enchanted Rose?
Let’s make a zero proof version of @lacavadelteq Let’s make a zero proof version of @lacavadeltequila’s famous La Cava Avocado aka the Avocado Margarita. 🥑
