Hola Jaleo!
Disney Springs
In 2011 the James Beard Foundation awarded José Andres their "Outstanding Chef" award and in 2018, guests visiting Disney Springs will get to find out what an outstanding chef's menu tastes like for themselves.

Top Picks, Cool Sights and Last Bites for 2017!
SeaWorld Orlando
It's hard to believe there are just two more Seven Seas Food Festival Days left in 2017! I have a sneaking suspicion that SeaWorld's new Seven Seas Food Festival will be back in 2018, but why wait? The weather on Saturday and Sunday (May 13th & 14th, 2017) is going to be great and the Latin Dance Party atmosphere for the final weekend is going to be in high gear!
Pick up a Sampling Lanyard (a really good value... honest), and get one more round of your favorite bites, or try some new foodie bites ... ( read more ... )
Festival Center Walkaround
Epcot
Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival, the park's "Festival Center" is open and filled with presentations, displays and festival merchandise. The large air-conditioned space also happens to be a great place to escape the Florida sun, if you are on that side of the park. While many of the presentations are flower and nature themed, I managed to find a weekend where everything was a bit more geared to gardens and food! I spent a couple of hours strolling around ...

B'Bye BBQ... Hello Viva Latina!
SeaWorld Orlando
While it's true that two of SeaWorld Orlando's long-standing festivals (Bands, Brew, & BBQ and Viva Latina) have merged into a new, much larger "Seven Seas Food Festival", a few remnants of what once was, still remain.
The immensely popular Viva Latina Festival at SeaWorld is (more or less) still going strong and is now attached to the tail end of the Seven Seas Festival. The "featured food theme" area that began as BBQ, has been swapped out with food favorites taking inspiration from Latin American ... ( read more ... )
Saturday Stroll-Around Day Three
SeaWorld Orlando
There are just so many flavors to experience at the SevenSeas Food Festival at SeaWorld that we decided to take another walk around the Marketplace loop and try some new dishes. While it is true that some of the marketplace kiosk are open daily (for Spring Break) from March 17th, 2017 until April 16th, 2017… ALL of the booths are only open on Saturdays (until May 13th, 2017).
There's no doubt that the Food & Brew Sampling Lanyard is the way to go here, for just $40 you'll get a lanyard ... ( read more ... )
Jake's Beer Dinner featuring Kona Brewing Company
Events |
Loews Resorts at Universal Orlando
I went to a great little food and beer pairing event last year at the Loews Royal Pacific Resort called Jake's Beer Dinner. Having the opportunity to go to quite a few of the "theme park resort" special events over the course of a year, I found Jake's Beer Dinner to be not only a lot of fun, but a really great value when compared to Disney Resort-based special events. Check out my full review of Jake's Beer Dinner or peruse the photo gallery for the event.
They (whomever) have not always done a great ... ( read more ... )
Spring Breakers Get to Check Out Select Food & Beverage Kiosks Everyday
SeaWorld Orlando
We heard about this "everyday" Seven Seas Food Festival news in a SeaWorld Passholder email about a week ago, but specific information was a little sparse at that time. We now have a bit more clarification from SeaWorld on just what part of the popular food event will be going on "everyday". The SeaWorld Orlando Seven Seas Food Festival has been running on Saturdays only (and it still is), but from March 17th until April 16th, 2017 (i.e. the peak "Spring Break" period) four of the Food Booths from the ...
