Festival of the Arts Walkabout
Epcot
My Festival of the Arts Walkabout produced around 50 photos and mostly contains food, food kiosk, and a couple of general environment shots. I have not been to one of the larger "Disney on Broadway Concert Series" shows at the America Garden Theatre yet. I do hope to see one before the festival is over. The theme of the festival on the first few days seemed to be "Oh, that starts today?". The front entrance area seemed quite sparsely decorated, but has since come to life for the second week of the ... ( read more ... )
My Current Thoughts About Festival of the Arts Food Booths (2017)
Epcot
If you have been following Mealtrip for a few years, you may remember that I used to cover ALL the kiosk food at these festivals. I would post "take a photo of every single dish" type of articles for at least five different festivals in the early days of Mealtrip.com. I don't really do that anymore. Oh sure, I still like the food at the kiosks. Maybe one day I will do that again. Over the last five or six years, the food items have become… less diverse in the number of ingredients that they use and ... ( read more ... )
SeaWorld Orlando's New Seven Seas Food Festival
SeaWorld Orlando
It seems that there is a new theme park Food Festival in town, and this time, it's not at a Disney Park. SeaWorld Orlando has smashed together what used to be the Bands, Brew & BBQ Festival and the Viva la Musica Festival, added a few more dates, even more food and more concerts and are calling the brand new festival the Seven Seas Food Festival.
We have put what we know so far into the Mealtrip.com distiller, and this is what we have…

2017 DCA Food & Wine Festival Dates
Disney California Adventure
Just a quick note for our west coast and international travel fans, the Disneyland Resort has announced that the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival has been penciled in to take place (daily) from March 10th through April 16th, 2017. It looks like there will be a few more Festival Marketplaces this year (those are the little food booths). The culinary, beverage and lifestyle seminars will also return in 2017. A few of the names that have been mentioned so far include Guy Fieri, Jamie ... ( read more ... )
2017 Food Booth/Kiosk Menu Items (Text List)
Epcot
It looks like those little food booths (that are are becoming more and more like that crazy relative, who comes to visit for a few days and stays all year), are going to be called "Food Studios". There are seven kiosks (officially) and some "extra" locations like Mexico and Japan (who will offer "special" items at their "normal" counter service locations) along with Joffrey’s who (naturally) will add in a few of their $9 "adult" drinks. There are 23 Food Items... if you don't count the partner ... ( read more ... )
Epcot's New International Festival of the Arts for 2017
Epcot
At a recent Disney event, I happened to be seated at a large table of ten guests, and was very surprised when I asked the group... "who is going to Epcot's new Festival of the Arts in a few weeks"… no one had the slightest idea what I was talking about.
There were no Floridians in the bunch. It was an equal mix of guests from the United States and the United Kingdom. I always smile when something like that happens… it makes me remember just how big the world is (the real world, not ... ( read more ... )
The NEW Monorail Dinner Party is a Real Thing & Happening Soon!
Disney Resorts
Well, it was bound to happen eventually. We finally have a Monorail Dinner Party… which actually sounds like a much better idea than the Monorail Dessert Party I predicted would happen several years ago. Beginning on December 2nd, 2016 and continuing through the foreseeable future (or at least on select Tuesday, Friday and Saturday evenings through March 2017) you can take part in the new "Highway in the Sky Dine Around". No, I'm not kidding. It's a five course, $150 (plus tax) trip around the ... ( read more ... )
Epcot 2016 Food and Wine Festival Menu Boards
Epcot Food and Wine
A few people have asked if I was going to post all of the menu boards (and therefore, the prices) for the kiosks and food booths around World Showcase at Epcot's 2016 Food and Wine Festival. Actually, I was quite surprised (and flattered) by just how many people asked if I was going to post them this year. As you may have noticed, we don't really have an "every single item at the festival" photo and rating system set up like we have in years past. That whole idea (and how it's presented) is being ...

Food Booth and Kiosk Items for 2016
Epcot Food and Wine
The food booths and kiosks located around World Showcase are now officially being called "Global Marketplaces"... however I still refer to them as food booths or kiosks.
About half of the items for 2016 are new to the festival, (or are slight variations of previous) items. We will not have pricing information until one day before the festival begins. We may not have "vegetarian friendly" and "gluten friendly" information until the day before the festival begins as well.
Here's everything we know ... ( read more ... )
