 Hey friends today, we are hanging out at Epcot I wanted to come out and try to ride Remy's Ratatouille adventure now that it's officially open to the public and Also, I wanted to try some of the 50th anniversary snacks from around world showcase any who's let's go do this Looks like the crowds are definitely a lot smaller since the last time I was here Which was the opening night for harmonious and it was very busy then I feel like this whole past week It's just been a very busy time or crowd. So it's kind of nice to see wide open spaces The weather is also very beautiful today It's great to get out of your car and not get hit with humidity But with a nice like gust of wind as long as there's wind. I don't care if it's in the 90s or 100s It's when you get that dry humidity and it's just oh and right now in October. I'm not feeling any of that To join the boarding group for Remy's Ratatouille adventure It looks like it's a little bit different than rise of the resistance It actually tells you to tap refresh at one o'clock to launch joining process and I'm like all set up in there So I guess I'm just gonna keep trying like this. I mean, I've never seen it like this before It's totally different than rise of the resistance. I Suppose I'm just gonna keep this screen open It's 12 59 and we're just about 30 seconds away as soon as it hits one o'clock I'm just gonna hit refresh and I literally don't know what the next steps are So I'm kind of doing this blind because I want to see what it's like to do it You know, I mean if you've never seen it before and I don't know fingers crossed. I hope we get it Refresh join virtual queue. Bada bing. Bada boom done. Whoo. Okay. That was pretty easy I have to be honest. I don't like these virtual cues. They scare me I'll tell you what joining a virtual queue really gets your heart ticking like you feel so much anxiety but we did get it look at that and Honestly, it's a lot easier to join a boarding group for Remy's ratatouille adventure than it was for rise of the resistance I mean the fact that they even just say like just hit refresh at one o'clock makes it so much easier So if voting groups come back to rise of the resistance, I really hope that they actually come back in the same way Remy's ratatouille adventure is One of the things I wanted to do today was visit some of the new food and wine boots that were set to open October 1st Initially, they had nine of them that were set for October 1st And they opened up seven of them remaining only two that weren't opened yet And I came all the way over here to see if they were officially opened and I'm getting directed back to the port of entry Behind this big wall used to be the Belgium booth and the Brazil booth But it looks like they just have a sign right here that says Brazil Please visit Brazil near port of entry and the same thing with Belgium on the other side to visit port of entry So maybe we'll have to head over there and see what's going on Introduced in 2010. I like how they have the introduction date. Wow, that's really cool Introduced in 1996. I never noticed that. What a really fun detail Well, I guess I'm just gonna backtrack and head back to the front of world showcase to port of entry to see if Those boots are there. I wish I would have known this I kind of just thought they were gonna be there But I like that they put up a sign because I'm sure a lot of people were looking for them The funniest thing is is I walked right past the Belgium booth on my way over to go to the Belgium and Brazil booth how funny is that it's right here as soon as you come in from world showcase And I must have literally just walked past it and didn't realize this brand new booth right here So we're gonna have to try something. They've got beer braised beef. They've got the Belgian waffle They've got a chilled coffee drink a Belgium Abbey ale. Oh, they all sound really good. So maybe we'll have to try something I mean we have to now that it's here. I Feel like I always get the waffles whenever I come to the Belgium stand So I think this time I'm gonna try the beer braised beef with the Gouda mashed potatoes now I'm probably not gonna like the mashed potatoes because they're gonna be very good Very cheesy But at least I'm excited for the beer braised beef because it kind of looks like Denti more Take a look at that. Doesn't it look like Denti more like beef stew and it's got little carrots in there And I think like maybe two tiny little things of beef not a lot of beef. I can tell you that Where's the beef and then I got myself a little six ounce Abbey to go with it and Yeah, I don't think I've had this one before so cheers Well, that's good. Oh, yeah, Belgium's known for their good beers and oh, this is really good Now it's time to try some of the beer braised beef and I'm gonna try it without the mashed potatoes But then eventually we're definitely gonna have to scoop see potato even though like I said I'm not too sure about the Gouda mashed potatoes. I Definitely don't want any of this falling on my shirt. So I'm gonna do one of those things where you take a bite and like Yeah, yeah lean back or lean in Hi, how are you? That was delicious But it was so funny because somebody just walked by and saw me eating this in such an awkward position And they waved and they said hi So I just said hi back, but I can only imagine what it looked like I was doing in my mind I was trying to avoid sauce falling on my shirt and I just probably looked really ridiculous I'm gonna show you guys what I look like to the person that walked by and said hello And by the way, hello to the person that walked by but I had my beef and I had the thing like this And because it comes with some gravy. I was eating it like this But I do have to say it has a little spice to it or it could be like a smoked Gouda from the potatoes All right, I'm gonna try the potatoes on their own right now. Well with the little gravy on there I call it gravy, but just the stew base because it is like a stew, you know You can taste a strong Gouda in there. I don't like Gouda that much, so I'm not really a big fan But I do love the whole entire beer braised beef like that is delicious Now we just got to finish up the Abbey beer and yeah, I like the Belgium I just didn't like the mashed potatoes, but the beef was very very good And here is the Brazil booth coming up and they actually turned this into a food booth They used to be a merchandise location And I didn't see this when I first walked in because I came in through the left of world showcase, but wow look at that That is a really fancy. That's probably the biggest food booth out of any of them. It is huge Here is a look at the menu not too many options for me here They do have a Brazilian seafood stew, but I do see a crispy pork belly I wouldn't mind trying it comes with black beans tomato and onions They have a cheese bread and then a MIA beer company limo lager So I might do the lager and the crispy pork belly So I ended up getting the pork belly and the lemon lime beer. How fancy is that? It's like the sprites of beer and I'm gonna try it right now That's good. I mean I love like Bud Light lime and this is like really good This is probably like now gonna be my favorite beer of the festival actually I did like the green tea beer that's over at the noodle exchange, but oh no no the pumpkin spice latte beer Is my favorite beer here. I almost forgot about it, but nothing's gonna top that one But this comes in at a close second And here is the pork belly you can see lots of black beans under there Oh, it's definitely crispy because you can hear that little I don't know if I can repeat it Oh, there it is You hear that? I don't know if I'm gonna have to grab a knife to cut this Oh, nope. No, I can be out. I can definitely just like scoop it out a little bit. Oh wow, this looks so good. Holy moly We're gonna try a little bit of everything in one bite a little bit of the black beans and the tomatoes and onions Wow Look at this. That is so so good. I love the black beans too I was a little hesitant, but they mix very well together and it's enough for like three bites It's not that big. It's kind of like that big and yeah, I like it Out of both of the boots though. I feel like Belgium is the better booth I mean for me wise because I like waffles and I like beer braised beef The only thing I really could gotten me from here is just this pork belly I don't like the cheese bun that much and seafood stew is not my favorite either So I have to stick with the pork belly But the best thing to come out of the Brazilian booth is this lemon lime beer Seriously, number two beer out there. Very good. Much too good Finish it right up and then we're gonna move along As we make our way back around Epcot I want to point out the new Epcot map. Look at this Epcot neighborhood's world celebration world nature world showcase world discovery Water buildings you are here. I actually like the way the map looks But what are you guys saying? Give me back your feedback about the Epcot neighborhoods? I mean, I'm a little sad to say goodbye to future world. Oh look Guardians of the Galaxy cosmic Rewind is on there already. Wow Spaceship birth. I like how they actually still have a little spaceship. That's really cool. I actually like this map I like the way it looks, but I'm just not too sure how I feel about that Now I think we're just gonna keep moving along like I said and maybe do a ride and I was thinking frozen ever after I have a road in a while and it's a great ride to actually cool off to and I think the wait time is only like 40 minutes So I think we're just gonna hop right on over And I also ran into some family from out of town and we're gonna ride frozen together You're going to help the ice It was nice to actually ride frozen I feel like I haven't rode in a while But maybe I just rode it like a month ago, but it's always nice to go in there like I said It clues you off you do get a little wet especially if you sit on the sides if you sit in the middle you're pretty good and Yeah, now we're gonna actually make our way back around world showcase. I Came back to the map because I wanted to show you this strange journey that I did here World showcase and I have never been this backwards before so we came in to Epcot We walked into world showcase and we came down here looking for the Belgium in Brazil boots So we walked all the way over here to the France and Morocco pavilion And then when we found out they weren't there we walked back all the way over here to the front to actually here And then we ended up at the map and then all the way over to Norway to go ride frozen And now we're gonna actually head back on over to remy's ratatouille adventure It was a little adventure around world showcase and it was fun because I got to run into Morgan and Christian and ride frozen But like I said, we're kind of just going like ding ding ding ding and now we're just gonna make our way back To where we initially came in and went to As we make our way back over to remy's ratatouille adventure I do want to stop and get a celebratory sips over here at joffreys They have the golden stardust a creamy wild berry ackee frappie topped with whipped cream and iridescent sprinkles Sounds like it could be refreshing But also I'm a little worried that I might be super thick. We'll find out I mean, I kind of want something nice and refreshing and I definitely don't want one of these donuts if I was to get a Donut I would get one at the food and went the food and wine stand because the donut box makes their donuts Fresh like right inside there and the golden stardust Is it the only celebratory sips that you can get at the joffreys stand? They actually have 50th anniversary coffee here too, and they were selling 50th anniversary cake cups in the different shops I did get a couple of those and I think they're in your resort So if you're staying in a resort with a Keurig you get 50th anniversary cake cups. How cool is that? There's the 50th anniversary coffee right there the 50th anniversary blend and here is the stardust Wow, right? I mean the whipped cream is probably going to be like a little bit heavy, but take a look at the sprinkles on there This is super nice. Actually, I think I might like this a lot We're gonna give it a taste here It's good it's creamy not really light and refreshing it is refreshing though because it is like a It's like a creamy slushie like I don't know how to else put it, but I like it It has a really good flavor to it very good berry Yeah, I could do this I can get another one of these if I wanted to It tastes exactly like these strawberries and cream Cream savers right there I had to pull up a picture because I don't know if they make these anymore But it tastes just like a liquid version of those and I like it It kind of gave me an nostalgia feeling because I used to actually have these all the time when I was younger My grandma used to always give them to me so very fancy Don't drink it fast though because you're gonna get brain freeze I had to find out the hard way and brain freeze and like the heat is a little difficult because like you kind of want to keep on Drinking it, but it hurts so bad. So you're like Normally these drinks actually tend to like get worse as they melt But this is getting better like shockingly right it's losing that creamy texture and it's just tasting like a delicious Berry drink so yeah, I mean kudos to this actually at first I was like, yeah, it's okay But now I'm really liking it. I'm really digging it and Now we have made it back to Ratatouille and it's so funny because the last time I was here was for the annual Passholder preview so you actually had to scan to walk any farther than this and now it's just open to the public You can just kind of stroll in very cool And I noticed they have the boarding group sign over here that tells you when the boarding groups are and it's not amazing That I got a one o'clock boarding group and I'm only just a couple of groups away from my turn Like that is so it's going by so fast One of the things I was not expecting was a super long line After you get your boarding group and that's what it looks like Honestly, I don't know how long the wait would be because they don't have opposed to wait time for your return to boarding group But this is gonna be longer than any rise of the resistant lines that I've ever waited in Right here is the return sign and the line is just going all the way down and then queuing up down here Now when I came for the annual pass holder preview I kind of just was like walking on and They didn't have any like special like return time or anything like that. Look the queues full up over there Wow, this is gonna be intense. Holy moly Also be careful because they do have two separate lines here One of the lines is for the photo pass or the photo opportunity. Look at that not as fancy, right? I like it and that's actually a very long line too because it's a popular photo spot I totally forgot that a part of the queue was coming in and then going back outside So we've already scanned in but now we're going back outside and that was the huge line that I showed you earlier I wish they had a sign to let you know how long the wait time was for the virtual queue I don't think the rise of the resistance ever had a wait time either Sometimes it could be a walk-on other times you could be looking at like an hour wait I ran into Veronica and her mom and we asked if we can ride together and they said yes But it goes to the highest boarding group number So in the past you used to be able to like add family together on boarding groups and they kind of do that too But whoever has the later one that's the one you have to ride at so it's always the latest boarding group Not the earlier so just to let you know because actually it's a little bit different from rise of the resistance My second favorite wallpaper definitely has to be this remi and a meal wallpaper first be in the hot of mansion But take a look at this isn't that so pretty I love it Anyone can cook Also gusto always has different things when you're walking through here So it's a different show each time now. I was hoping to catch something special, but looks like we're about to go in I'm gonna miss it come to life Be an inspiration to me. Come on gusto Any second now I can feel it I can feel gusto in the air tonight Nope sad French music Gotta grab the glasses These are all fancy and brand new look how clean and pristine they look think I'll take this one right here Yes, that'll do. Oh, we got fresh ones coming in Wait time was just about 30 minutes. So that's not bad at all. It looked longer than it was Oh, we got this little guy right here Last time I rode this ride it broke down and we got to ride again and that would be nice if it happened again I mean, I wouldn't mind riding it twice Tim Chimini Chim Chim Chiru We want a Mary Poppins ride too It's gonna be late for a deal I asked him what to prepare What? What am I thinking? Poppins? No A simple omelet? Too simple What? That's it! I love this part with the little white side You can hide it right through the harmony Oh, yeah right here Hey guys, the boat is for them, not you Oh I'm backing up backing up backing up Ooh That was a fun ride and it still actually ranks up there and adds to my already impressive list of best-smelling rides at Epcot It takes the cake Yeah, you can smell them cooking in the kitchen and all of Epcot's rides have the best smells to them They have the most variety of rides with smells in them. That's all I'm saying and I love it Yeah, what is your favorite? Grown burning Or pirate Yeah, so you don't really mean those two but most of them are here in Epcot On our way out it looks like Mary's meeting a greeting guest And it's nice to see more characters out and about and Disney just announced some characters are coming back indoors So it's really exciting including Mickey at Town Square, isn't that awesome? I wonder if Mary will end up actually back indoors anywhere She really was never indoors anywhere here She was supposed to have her own attraction which I would love to see But look at her Awesome Bye Mary, thanks Lovely to see you Aw, thank you Mary said I was like the birds always telling people what's coming And that was awesome Isn't that so cool? I love seeing Mary Poppins, my mom does too And I want that Mary Poppins attraction to come I want it to actually happen I know they already canceled it but bring it back And like I said we are making our way back out to the exit And I didn't know what to call it because it's not future world anymore And I don't know what section is what So like over here is it a different world discovery maybe? Not too sure, I have to get familiar with the names And I think that is going to do it for me today So much fun, I wasn't able to try a lot of the 50th celebration like desserts or snacks Most of them are in sit down restaurants where you need to get a reservation But I was able to try the two new food boots and also one of the celebratory sip drinks actually at Joffrey's And got to ride Remy's Ratatouille Adventure So I'll take that as a win, anyhoo's I hope you enjoyed the video, I enjoyed making it We'll see you next time, bye
