  • In today's vlog we head to the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival media preview where we were able to sample some of the food menu items as well as get a sneak peek at some of the all new festival merch! The merch is really cute and is centered around Spike the bee and Minnie Mouse. Then we tasted a few food options in the EPCOT test kitchen! We couldn't show the area we were in for the event so we gave our thoughts about the food when we got home. I enjoyed the new menu items, they were delicious for the most part! I hope you enjoyed joining me at EPCOT today! Thank you for watching and we'll see you tomorrow with a new vid!

    The dragon at Japan was originally in China in years past. He got redone and “Japanized”. I personally helped with Ms Piggy and Kermit, Beauty and the Beast, Remy, and some other beds and topiaries not shown in this video.

    People who go to the flower and garden festival must try the boudain balls and sausage. As being an native Texan they are a staple in our life. All the food looked great. Can not wait to see Jackson’s reaction to all the topiaries. This is one festival I would want to go to. The flowers are beautiful.

    We will be there for 10 days in May... Hubbs just asked me "What characters do you really want to meet this trip"... my response, of course, immediately was "Jackson Tracker and those 2 other folks he hangs out with"... Fingers crossed!! Met Adam last Spring on Main Street... You guys are on my bucket list!

    @OhYeahItsAmy Před 4 lety

    I love that everything for Flower and Garden festival is either made fresh (like the oysters that will be grilled and handed to guests right when they finish cooking) or made from fresh garden ingredients (I saw a lot of vegetables). I think it really speaks to what a festival featuring flowers and garden related stuff is all about.

    Good bit of Louisiana representation on the food, even though he said you can get boudin balls at a local gas station...yeah we don't do that so much, unless it's a mom and pop you trust. They are common though. The thought of crawfish boil smell at epcot makes me chuckle though.

    @ginagreen1202 Před 4 lety

    Sounds like the Louisiana food was a big hit! Boudin is a favorite here, you can even get it in convenience stores for breakfast lol. Pralines are basically boiled sugar and cream so chocolate chips would melt in there, but I bet you could dip them in chocolate. I have also heard of chocolate pralines but they are not traditional. Flower & Garden is my favorite time of year at Disney and I can’t wait to go this year! Thanks for the preview.

    @adriennegilliland7179 Před 4 lety

    Hi Tim. Great video. I’m from New Orleans (New Aw’lins). If you put chocolate chips in a praline (praw-leen) it just becomes a chocolate praline. The temperature to get the sugar to melt and become right to harden again is so high that chocolate chips would just melt into liquid chocolate and mix in. The creaminess of the chocolate then messes up the sugar being able to harden again which is what the praline is all about. They do make chocolate pralines, but it is a chocolate extract that is used. The seafood boil looks interesting, but I have never know it to be in a beer boil. A must try. Can’t wait to visit and try all the great food.
