 Hey friends today We are hanging out in Epcot and I am so excited because there are so many new things to do today I cannot wait to show you first. We have the original soren over California coming back for a short period of time and we finally get to ride it again I'm so excited for that and then also the rest of the food and wine boots opened up So we're gonna ride some rides eat some food and have a beautiful Epcot kind of night Anywho's let's go do this It's another beautiful day in Epcot today, but it looks like it might be a little bit busy So we might have to buy genie plus to ride soren. I Am so excited to ride soren over California I like to credit that ride as the inspiration for my love of Disney parks because the very first time I Wrote it. I remember getting off and I was just so stunned. I couldn't even speak it was so beautiful My dream was always to travel the world and I never thought I would be able to but I kind of got to do that on soren And I just love it and I think soren over California has better smells So I can't wait for us to go ride that Of course, I needed to pick up my handy-dandy festival passport and here are the new food stands that opened up today They've got the char and chop they've got the wine and wedge and then the bubbles and brine Looks like you've got some porcata there some grilled impossible spicy sausage over here You've got a bunch of different cheeses a jumbo shrimp cocktail Oh a crab claw cocktail. There's a lot. So we're gonna grab some of the food and just kind of hang out in world showcase Because food and wine festival is so big and it lasts longer this year They didn't open up all of the boots on opening day. They opened up a majority of them But they kept six of them not open and then they opened them up throughout the past couple of weeks And then today is the last day and all of the boots are open I don't know why Disney does that but I guess it's kind of smart because I keep coming back I think maybe we should grab some of the food now Then go ride soaring and then come back and get some more food So that way we have time to actually sit down and enjoy it a little bit Here is a closer look at the char and chop and the menu itself and actually has some pictures there They've got the roasted porcata with lemon parsley salsa. Oh and shaved fennel salad Oh, I love porcata and then they got the grilled impossible spicy sausage there, which is looking pretty good I might actually want to try that and then they got like the trio of shaved meats So lots of good stuff a couple of beers and even a Bloody Mary They're actually cooking the porcata right out back right behind the booth itself They actually have a little grill area set up. They're also toasting the bread for the The meats so that's kind of cool, but look at that porcata back there It is slowly turning and it looks amazing. I'm gonna zoom in Look at that char Holy moly I Can smell it the smell is amazing It's funny because anytime I ever get porcata I always get someone saying that I say the word wrong like a lot of people say it's supposed to say like porcetta But I say porcetta. I grew up in Pennsylvania and I went to like tons of vfw's and State fairs and like local spots where they'd have porcetta dinners And I got the firehouse and stuff like that. So let me know am I saying it right? Do I say porcetta right or is it poor shut up? Here is Everything from the char and chop we ended up getting the impossible sausage the porcetta The meats and then the little beer flight that they have and the beer flight I'm kind of excited because one of them is a midnight espresso coffee border And then they have a lager and a German pilsner there And I just can't get over the fact that I'm eating this food right here and they're cooking it back there And it just smells amazing It's such a shame that I had to give up my table because the Sun was shining right down on me And I finally got a table, but I had to move and give it up. So I made my way over here to the little Planter area and decided to live on the edge and I think we're gonna dive in maybe start with the impossible sausage here It is so funny because right now. I'm like sitting on my knees On the pavement about to eat some impossible sausage for the first time I've never had impossible sausage before but it looks pretty good. I hope I like it So here we go one of the things I always say about impossible like food items is It always tastes pretty identical to what it's trying to be but it never has the right like texture You know, I mean, I like it. It tastes good. It's definitely very spicy be prepared I'll tell you that right now and it tastes just like a sausage But after like to cheer like after like to choose it's just like mush So it's kind of strange but I do like it now. I think we'll grab ourselves the porcetta here and Dive into the porcetta and this one. I know I'm gonna love I Cannot believe that this is only $6 like that's incredible. You get so much porcetta on there That's a big amount and I can't get with the flavor. Look at the seasoning on there That's the salsa verde that they're talking about and I can't wait. It's gonna be so good Here we go The porcetta usually is a festival favorite for me And this year I am gonna have to stick with it and say that this might be one of my favorite food items again Like I love this. I would put this in a top five spot Definitely it is so good and packed so much flavor like so much flavor Especially since they added the lemon in there, but holy moly. I love it I also realize I'm probably triggering all of you by having all my stuff hanging off the edge there So I think I'm gonna dive into the beer flight now. This one looks like the porter. I didn't look but it looks dark enough So here's the espresso porter. Oh Oh Oh wow Motor works brewing right here in Bradenton too. I really like that midnight espresso coffee porter I hope that's the one. I'm pretty sure but yeah, that was good Motor works brewing midnight espresso coffee porter from Bradenton, Florida very fancy I like that one a lot and the other ones were pretty good But that espresso coffee porter was my favorite one and then I would say the Pilsner. This one was okay. I didn't like the log I'm not a bit. I mean, I do I do like a logger, but I like a yingling logger If you ever wondered what it would be like if you run into me in the parks Usually you'll find me doing something like this sitting on the side of a fence with all my food lined up drinking a beer And now here is a look at the meat assortee a trio of shaved meats with baby arugula Pickled mustard seeds truffle oil and grilled ciabatta and I love how they were grilling up that ciabatta bread over there that was actually looking pretty cool and Yeah, overall the char and chop has been knocking it out of the park like it's so good The char and chop did not disappoint the pork head out Like I said, I put it in my top five of a food and wine food items honestly, but we're gonna keep moving along I want to show you guys another booth and then I'm gonna go ride soaring over California I've been hyping it up because the hype is real with this one Up next is bubbles and brine and here is a look at the menu They don't have a big menu, but I like how the colors of this are the same colors for the Disney 100 It even has a little flag hanging off of it But the menu is pretty simple little jumbo shrimp cocktail a little crab claw cocktail crab claw cocktail Just sounds so funny and then some beverages with alcohol. Oh Dom Perignon $69. Should I get one? Should I get a box? Should I get a should I get a glass of Dom Perignon a Glass of Don Perignon, I don't know if that's how you say it But I'm pretty sure that's the fancy champagne and it's like $69 a glass and I've always wanted to try it So I'm thinking like when an Epcot like if I was gonna have a glass of Don Perignon Dom Perignon Perignon I feel like it would have to be in a memorable location and I would like that memorable location to be Epcot You had it. Oh, there it is Here it's the fancy kind That's a $400 bottle Wow, and how many glasses do you think you get out of that? About six. Wow. So the price point is actually not that far off Wow, holy moly and did you hear him say it was like a $400 bottle you're paying $20 extra to drink Dom Perignon Basically in Epcot and I'm okay with that. I'm happy. I feel like if I was gonna do it. This is the spot. I Kind of already crumbled up my receipt, but $83 for one glass of champagne and two pieces of shrimp But they did give me the cork to the bottle. Look at that. That was actually really nice Dom Perignon vintage 2013 and can you believe that this bottle costs? I think he said $400 and the price point like even though this is $69 a glass that's literally just about how much the bottle cost like if you add up all the glass He said you can get like I think he said up to maybe 10 So it's not that far off and it's time to try my first sip of Dom Perignon in Epcot on a trash can Cheers to Dom Perignon and if you think I'm crazy for buying this and was $69 I think you guys might forget when I drink the $100 bottle of water at the Grand Floridian. So here we go You know, I'm gonna be honest. It tastes like champagne I can't tell a day. I can't tell a difference between the $400 bottle in this one I'm sure there is and you know I'm sure there's a lot of different distinct taste in there and stuff like that But personally, I can't tell but I do fancy. I feel fancy. I feel like an extra I feel like there's something extra there. Just I feel glorious actually Pinky up darling Now to go with my Dom Perignon a little shrimp cocktail a little shrimp on the Bobby Look at the size of this shrimp. Oh, holy moly. That is massive That's a big shrimp there Look at how crazy this is. We're in Epcot. We're eating giant shrimp Drinking Dom Perignon about to ride soaring over California. Can things get any better? I feel like this isn't like something you would do regularly. I mean, I wouldn't do regularly It's not like I'm gonna be coming to Epcot to get Dom Perignon all the time But right now I feel good. I feel like this is actually really amazing. So now it's time for the shrimp. I Honestly never thought I would say that a shrimp is too meaty, but holy moly. That is too meaty It's so strange like that's the texture. I've never had a shrimp this big before and look at look at the tail You can just pop it out right here Look at that. Easy peasy I'm actually taking my time with this one. I actually might carry it with me to Soarin One sip at a time. You don't want to drop anything. It's like $10. You like spill a little bit 10 bucks The Dom Perignon is making its trip all the way over to the land pavilion Cheers to you journey into imagination and cheers to you monorail Cheers to you spaceship Earth Cheers to you trash can It's time to make our way into the land and ride soaring and if you've never rode soaring over California before It's basically the same thing that they have now soaring around the world But it's all shot in California And they use like real like cameras and not CGI and the smells are better because you go through an orange grove It's absolutely amazing and the only difference is soaring around the world has better transitions Like it kind of transitions a lot better this one. It's not so smooth You know what I mean, but I love it regardless like I said favorite attraction and now we're heading in so got the Dom Perignon with me We're soaring We're flying oh My lord. Look at this guys The lightning lane is so backed up the standby line is at 60 minutes. Holy moly Wow Hey, howdy. Hey look at that. Hi. Oh, yeah I'm waiting in line. Hi. I still have the champagne with me And I'll let you know how long the wait is for lightning lane even though that says 60 minutes It's gonna be much longer especially because the lightning lane is backed up the way it is But yeah, we're here hanging on the last drop still got at least two more sips in there There is definitely a cult following for soaring over California Seriously, I haven't seen this attraction this busy in forever. Look at that Last sip here we go Have to let it go So sad We also got lucky and got see which is the newest theater and I'm excited because I've never seen soaring over California and theater see before Disneyland over in California usually switches their Soaring over to Disneyland soaring over California during their Disney California adventure food and wine It's very confusing. We have Epcot food and wine. They have Disney California adventure food and wine And the past like two years Disneyland has switched back to soaring over California just for that You know festival and this is the first year that Disney World has decided to do and I'm happy for it The best way to ride soaring in my opinion is theater see Section B and row one. That's the way We are ready for take up We're with us soaring over California was amazing. I love that ride I love the different smells the orange bro's the golf scene the the helicopter It's really it's something else Hope you guys enjoyed it, but let me know in the comments. Which one do you like better? Do you like soaring around the world or soaring around California? And now we're gonna head back to the other booth that hasn't opened yet Right here is the wine and wedge and they've got an assortment of artisan cheese and compliments They've got a balsamic souffle a southern premito cheese And then a lot of other wine and cheese literally it's in the name wine and wedgie wine and wedgie But also they've got some apple brandy and another flight down there, but honest I'm too full. I don't think I can get any of this. It does look pretty good though Look at that If you like cheese or if you like wine, then this is the one I definitely feel like I've tried enough food today and plus I had a fancy champagne So we're going to skip over that one but still hang out maybe go ride some more rides and oh There's one other booth. I want to show you that didn't open up that was supposed to open up, but I don't know why For some reason swirl showcase did not open up today. This is like a soft serve stand I could pull up the menu, but uh, yeah, it just didn't open I guess I can ask somebody but I'm sure they don't know why either It's definitely got to be some technical difficulties. So technically not every booth is open yet We still got one more did they do this on purpose too? Look at that beautiful monorail changing colors Wow I also feel like it's driving a little bit slower than it usually does That's cool. It gives me more time to enjoy it We made our way down to the grand fiesta tour And uh, we're gonna head into mexico because I met up with some friends who want to stop and get some chips in guacamole from la cava This is literally the guacamole that made me like guacamole Like I never I'd never had guacamole until I had it at la cava and now i'm obsessed The guacamole and chips are always amazing like I said, it's literally the guacamole that turned me on at guacamole And then I also got a corn old-fashioned Usually I'd like to get the lily margarita or the avocado morriga avocado morriga But uh, I think the old-fashioned is fitting especially for a night tonight Don perry on Now that we've had our Little corn old-fashioned and some chips and guac It's just about that time for the fireworks. So we're gonna go get a spot Oh, it looks like it's gonna be so busy here like it's gonna be impossible to find anywhere against the Water, so we're probably just gonna be standing in the background over here But I think the fireworks are literally starting in like three minutes Oh, yeah, we have three minutes nine fifty seven I'm never Now we're taking the uh local exit leaving before the fireworks end so we don't get stuck in the uh Russia people trying to leave. Oh, hi Oh, but it's so hard to like, you know, I mean I kind of want to stay and watch the show You say out loud Here today, I had a lot of fun though. The food was great soaring over california was amazing And it's nice to just hang out in Epcot hang out with some friends enjoy The beautiful park and all of the amazing things that you get to do here We're so lucky to live so close to disney. I was just talking about this with my friend Just being able to hop in and enjoy an evening at Epcot for the night. I'm just so blessed So I hope you enjoyed the video.
