My Favorite Disney Event...It is Almost That Time Again!

     As many of you know, my daughter has worked for Disney in Florida for the past 3 years. Even before she moved to Orlando, we visited WDW at least once a year. We have been there several times for Christmas, we have been to the Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom and been to the spring flower and garden show several times. My favorite event, this year called Delicious Discoveries, is the one that begins October 1st this year and continues through November 14th.

     The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival is a food lovers dream. If you love food and/or wine, you really should try to take in this event sometime. There is more food than you can eat at very affordable prices, concerts, parties and culinary events with famous chefs. Some events are free with the cost of your ticket to Epcot, others range from reasonable to very pricey.

     Epcot has booths set up all through the World Showcase Promenade where you can try small plates of food from many countries along with wines, beers and an occasional girly drink. Each year new countries are represented, this year Belgium and South Korea will be joining the party. Food plates are generally priced around $3 or $4, with a few higher. There are cookbook signings, educational events and free concerts by famous musical guests. Last year we did a cooking class where we learned how to make a flourless, chocolate and salted caramel cake...then we got to eat it!

     The food available this year can be seen by clicking here. I have to admit to thinking about the Creme Brulee au Chocolate au Lait from France all year long. It is the best!

     The concert lineup this year includes: Taylor Dayne, Kool & The Gang, Sugar Ray, Taylor Hicks, Air Supply, Sister Hazel, Howard Jones, Expose, 38 Special, Night Ranger, Billy Ocean,  Starship starring Mickey Thomas, Boyz II Men, Roger Hodgson formerly of Supertramp, Jon Secada, Hanson, Rick Springfield and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.

     I thought I'd share a few pictures from previous Food and Wine Festivals. The pictures speak for themselves.
