The EPCOT International flower and garden festival is taking place now through the end of May, and you don’t want to miss it! This festival has been going on for well over 20 years, but it’s only been recently that Walt Disney World has introduced food booths called “outdoor kitchens” to the festival. If you are familiar with the Food and Wine Festival in the fall, this is the same concept but on a smaller scale.

L’Artisan des Glaces at Epcot

travelmagicstg2023-10-04T18:07:03-04:00February 2, 2017|Epcot|0 Comments

L'Artisan des Glaces is a French ice cream shop found at the France pavilion in EPCOT at Walt Disney World. It is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the world showcase, but is not to be missed! Choose from 16 flavors, single or double scoop, in a cone or cup for a cool treat on a hot day. This shop didn’t open until noon the day I visited, but it was well worth the wait. Not only can you get ice cream here, but there is sorbet, macaroon ice cream sandwiches, and the very popular ice cream martini. [...]

Karamell-Küche – Epcot’s Caramel Kitchen

travelmagicstg2017-01-25T06:00:14-05:00January 25, 2017|Epcot|0 Comments

Snacks. We all love snacks, especially Disney World snacks. Epcot is definitely not lacking in the snack department. I've noticed recently many Disney lovers I know are quick to name France as their favorite Epcot snack destination, but today I implore you to give the Germany pavilion a chance. The Germany pavilion is located in between China and Italy. You will be able to smell the Karamell-Kuche before you even see it! It smells heavenly! Germany's Karamell-Kuche (Caramel Kitchen in German) allows visitors to taste Werther’s signature caramel fresh off the stove! The caramel on its own is amazing, but [...]
