 Hey friends today. I am at Epcot for the festival of the arts. I am so excited They have some of my favorite food during this festival, and I'm just excited to try some new ones as well So let's go do this First things first grab ourselves a festival of the arts passport Celebrating five years. This is the fifth year of festival of the arts. How amazing is that? I remember actually coming for the first year of festival of the arts and thinking wow This is really nifty, and I hope they keep on doing it and look at us five years later Here we are. It seems like every time it's an opening day for a new festival The attraction wait times kind of dropped down a little bit Spaceship Earth is at five minutes, but I think that's because most people are spending their time in World Showcase And that's exactly what I'm doing I'm gonna head right on over to World Showcase because I want to eat some food And I also just want to take in the festival of the arts itself One of my favorite things to do for the festival of the arts is the paint by number mural And they're definitely doing it this year. It makes me so happy, and they have little markers So like it's socially distance seven five four and they'll mix it up so that there's always a big space in between It's very clever I'm a little shocked because I thought that this was gonna be a super long line Normally not during socially distance times. It was actually a long line, but it looks like we're gonna probably wait for ten minutes Not too shabby Welcome Wow so you get the picnic color yes, I think I'm gonna do blue There you go luckily Jackie's here with me because I Just built paint all over my up cut spirit Jersey shoot and that's how the cookie crumbles Well, I was actually gonna try to do this on my own But after I've already spilt blue paint all over my black spirit Jersey I've asked Jackie super enthused to actually Hold the camera, which is very important at this point because I paint all over me. So we're doing six. Oh Boy, I should have looked first. Yeah I'm gonna do this. Oh, yeah I'm not good at getting it in the lines. I am so sorry to the people who have five To come behind me You did good I did good Maybe I'm not so good. You're great another little quote. You did a Tetris piece. Yes Looks like plenty of other people have spilt their paint This is a very very tough thing. I got paint on my hands. Look at my hands. I have yellow I have yellow paint. I didn't even paint with yellow Once this is actually all completed This is what it's gonna look like and it's so awesome because they're gonna actually like pretty much just put it somewhere that we can Actually visit it and see but that is really nice. Isn't it? As you could tell I'm not very good at art or painting in general So that's what I'm gonna focus a lot on probably the food and also some of the beverages But we are gonna check out some of the very good art by professional artists Not people who can't even do paint by numbers like myself and end up getting blue paint on their shirt But then a mysterious yellow paint as well on their shirt. I don't even know how that happened Amazing photo opportunities Including right here, and it's kind of like out of nowhere. You can just kind of stand in front of it and become figment Pretty awesome So you just kind of put your back into it like this a little bit and it kind of oh wow look at that it does I Love the figment wings on the wall, but these are my absolute favorite when it comes to festival of the arts It's beautiful right here too. Isn't it? Oh my gosh. What a background. I know I mean, I wish you could see through it, but I mean, oh, what if a monorail was coming right now? That would be perfect Look at the look at the thing. It tells you what to do We got Oh, yes, very seductive Very good. Oh Even you haven't proved upon the art I'm gonna keep my eye out for any of those awesome photo opportunities But right now I need to get something to eat I am so hungry and there were some things that I've seen already Like that they actually like pre-released that I was like I cannot wait to try that So we're gonna try to hunt them down one by one One of the things I seen and I knew I was absolutely gonna love is the vanilla rose water and pistachio Panna cotta because I love pistachio Oh my lord, what is this? It looks so beautiful I am so excited to dive into this. Look at this. Oh, oh, oh, it just breaks open. Oh, wow So I want to make sure I get a little bit of everything So I'm gonna get a little of that pistachio a little bit of the crust All in one bite Before I take off my mask. I need to tell you guys something. I had a slight Shaving accident and I accidentally grabbed the wrong Size clipper and I shaved my beard down way too much. So be prepared because I was shocked Shocked but we're trying this. Oh boy. I'm excited Wow, that is absolutely amazing I feel like this was a very unfair thing to start off with because this is so amazing It's so beautiful and so amazing You know what I mean? I feel like everything I tried from now on is going to be downhill The bar is set high. It is set high Like I said, it's going to be hard to top that but I'm sure there are going to be other amazing things I'm a big fan of pistachio. So once I seen pistachio in the title of that I was like, I got to get it But there is another pistachio like kind of dessert that I have to track down And that is the one I've also been eyeing on The cool thing about the taste of Epcot International Festival of the Arts is the actual entertainment and artists change sometimes weekly So you can come here and see one thing and then it's gone the next and there's always something new And this year the show place is actually housing some pretty amazing entertainment. So we're definitely going to go in there This is also the busiest. I've actually seen it in world show place since it opened back up They added so much more tables. They extended the whole entire venue all the way down They just opened it up a lot more And it being Epcot and the festival of the arts the most anticipated dish I feel like is going to be remi's Ratatouille. I am so excited to try this. Can you even believe it? Like we're going to have ratatouille here this year and now we're going to be able to have some ratatouille And then also I hear the lemon blood orange cart is very good So we might get both of those Other than the ratatouille and then the actual blood orange tart I think we're going to get ourselves some drinks because they have some amazing selections A three-daughter strawberry blonde air A nitro vanilla porter and then even a cold-fashioned coffee cocktail Wow They actually have a whole flight So you can actually get the three-daughter strawberry blonde nitro and then you can get the vanilla porter And then the milk-style nitro. Wow. I think I'm just going to do the flight This is why I love coming to festivals with friends Jackie went over there and got things that I wanted from that one So I'm going to get things from this stand that I want for myself and her and then we like divide and conquer And also we can take photos of each other Especially with all those different cool photo opportunities And this is what I was talking about when I said divide and conquer I said the same thing Divide and conquer right look at all of this. It's a feast and it's so beautiful. Isn't it everything looks just so unique We have two ratatouilles because we're gonna have one each two of the pistachio cakes You've got the steak tartar and then I got the blood orange lemon tart I got the flight which is three different beers Including the strawberry blonde nitro the milk start nitro and the vanilla and then the coffee espresso Cocktail I figured Jackie's not going to want that stout So I'm going to drink the stout and then I'm going to use my stout cup so that we can share the other drinks So we can all try it right Yeah, uh-huh How awesome is it that they actually made the ratatouille look like it was in the actual movie So like if you had ratatouille before it does look all like different But this is exactly how they use it and how they make it in the movie So that is so festive. I'm just going to dive right in If you have seen the actual movie ratatouille You know that when the food reviewer or the food credit actually takes a bite of the ratatouille for the first time His whole childhood rushes back because it's like identical to how his mom made it And I kind of feel that same way Whenever I take a bite of something and it goes black and white You can see the zucchini in there real nice. I just love the way it's presented Very delicious. I mean, I've always loved ratatouille. I've only had it twice on disney property. I've had it here obviously and then at a Citricro's at the grand floridian But I don't know which one's better. Honestly, I don't I can't really compare So I went and I actually got the stout Jackie's drinking on the strawberry No, it is a beer all right. It's really good. It's not a cider Wow I'm good good I'll fancy you The three different beers inside world show plays the strawberry like literally tastes not even like beer It is beer. I first I thought it was a cider because of the color But I got a stick with the milk stout. I mean, this is very good The coffee. I mean the vanilla nitro That one has like a strange taste to it, but this is amazing. I can't wait to get to the coffee cocktail the coffee old-fashioned Now I am all done with my ratatouille. I loved it. I think I'm gonna get some dessert But I don't know which one I'm gonna do the pistachio Or the blood orange lemon tart both of them look amazing Or maybe I should try the coffee drink. Oh boy I'm also loving the piano player like he is playing some very like But yeah dramatic music right now as I drink my coffee old-fashioned The old-fashioned is very very strong and very delicious But now I think I'm gonna do the pistachio cake and it actually comes with cherry mousse And morello cherries very fancy I'm having a dilemma here though I really thought we couldn't get better than that rose Is it better? This is phenomenal At first I tried the pistachio cake on its own, but then I mixed the cherry mousse and the pistachio cake And I'm like kind of like what is this weird combination of flavors happening? I really might have to say this is better. I don't know I think it's equal equal Can we call it a draw? Let's call it a draw The search to see if anything can beat those two is on Jackie has opted out from trying the uh coffee old-fashioned So I'm gonna finish it up, but she did get two drinks For well one for her and one for me of something else because the beer like flight was okay Yeah a little disappointing, but I mean this is still a very decent drink. It's not like Not too overbearing on the bourbon, but you can still taste the coffee, but the other drink I think that's gonna be a winner This is the drink that Jackie actually got the rusty nail, huh? Well cheers cheers now we think the nail is edible, but we're gonna find out It looks edible Oh very strong I'd really taste a bourbon in this and a little bit of cinnamon a little bit of apple, but Majority is bourbon with a coffee old-fashioned. It was like a good blend and you really couldn't taste much I think this is a stronger drink. I really think I think this is the the stronger drink actually at the show place Oh, it's edible. It's edible. I'm glad you tested it out It's chocolate nice Still got one more dessert to try the blood orange lemon tart I don't even know how to kind of like go about Eating these because you want to try to get everything in one bite I'm thinking this is all the blood orange and maybe the center part is the lemon. So we're gonna try to Oh, oh, it's really soft. I thought it was gonna be hard. Okay. There we go So this seems like a a pretty good first bite right here I don't think it actually compares with the pistachio or the rose but It's still very good and it can actually it can hold its own I mean, it depends if you love lemon and blood orange and tarts. I just love pistachio So I feel like they both have an unfair advantage because they both had pistachio in them One of my favorites is coming on trevor carlton Oh man Pop art his work has been exhibited across the globe Please welcome to the stage Disney final artist trevor carlton He is my favorite artist here. I absolutely love it He did that in 15 minutes and you can actually go buy that exact micky painting out at his booth Like you can go buy that right now the one that he just made Unbelievable. Thank you so much trevor carlton. You're the man I think I think we are done The world show place Yep We were in world show place for quite a while because there was so much happening in there Right. So we had so many different food offerings so many drink offerings and then all the different entertainment Obviously art defying gravity and then trevor carlton rocked that stage Overall, I absolutely can hang out in there, but we need to move along We need to make our way around world showcase There are so many different amazing things at festival of the arts and the trouble that I have is Because normally I would go up to a booth and look at something and be like, okay, I like that I'll get that but like there are things that I'm excited to try that I haven't even gotten to yet And I'm looking forward to it. So like I don't want to eat too much like I know I want to get the short rib I'm very excited for that and then some of the other drinks that are actually around So it's like you kind of pick and choose and you have to come multiple times one time will not cut it After having the haku beer in japan, which actually I think is probably the best beer in the festival I think we're going to actually sit down and watch the voices of liberty because they're doing a special festival of the arts show So this is going to be really nifty to see As we step into the disney song book We are yes When they were hitting melana and then ending it with wish upon a star Bravo, bravo voices of liberty was so amazing. I know we didn't get to talk about the transition from Day to night, but now it is night time in world showcase We've made our way halfway around world showcase probably going to stop at germany next because that's where the short rib is And I've been really eyeing that up all day But then we're going to keep on going long. We want to do a full lap and get as much as we can We've already we've already done so much. This is such a great night And I also have to say that the temperature dropped to the 50s So I'm glad I'm wearing my spirit jersey, but holy moly. I wasn't expecting a chilly night. I'll take it though I'll take it And here is the germany menu and we got the red wine braised beef short rib I'm so excited to try that they also have so many other amazing offerings including some good drinks including a three Daughters brewing rose hard cider. So they have a rosé hard cider and then also a rose blonde ale I might get the blonde ale and a beef short rib And there it is the rose blonde ale with strawberry hibiscus very fancy Look at this. This is that short rib. Isn't it amazing guys? I'm going to try to focus in on it But unbelievable. I was so excited to try this a little bit of potato some broccolini And then it looks like a red wine vinaigrette right there. This is amazing As it gets darker in the night, it's harder to eat on camera because it's so dark So I'm panning an audience to actually show you guys this bite on camera Like if I went over here It would be oh, yeah If I if I if I did it like here would be a little bit darker and it would like get out of focus So we're gonna face the good lighting Hey guys, how are you? And uh, try the short rib I'm excited for this Favorite festival food not dessert or food right here. I absolutely love it so delicious. Definitely worth it The short rib was so amazing. I'm definitely gonna be coming back to get more of it Absolutely, I could probably eat a dinner of it So like if I come and get like two orders of short rib, I think that's like a dinner size And the rose beer the blonde ale is really good. Still not as good as the haku beer in japan though We are gonna move along from germany, but that short rib. I don't think anything can beat it for me It was so amazing And I want to show off some more of the art boots that are actually here Some of them actually have signs that says please don't record So I don't want to show a lot of them. I will ask permission before I actually film it though Just in case One of my favorite boots of festival of the arts is the whiskers and wine booth I remember coming here probably uh, four years ago And I got one of these actual whiskers and wines and she actually colored out The eye on my one cat Rita because she was missing her eye and I thought that was amazing So it's just cats drinking wine. I mean you can't go wrong with that, right? But now we are almost finished and we need to move along I know that pop piece is still on my list and then also the festival of the arts Mexico stand That one would be a good one to stop at I feel like maybe we need to stop and take a grand fiesta tour It's been a while since I've been even done the grand fiesta tour. So I'm happy to be back here. Oh boy Who can forget these narrow passageways? I feel very claustrophobic when I'm walking through here There we go Donald is missing and they just replaced him with a sombrero Oh Well, that was absolutely fantastic. How about Donald missing from the grand fiesta tour? I was a little shocked I did see rumors, but you think they could have put like a topiary there or something Why did they just put a plant with a sombrero on it? Anywho's we did get stuck in there a little bit and now the park is officially closed So we're not going to be able to make it to pop eats, but we're coming back And like I said, the best thing about festival of the arts is it changes weekly and there were so many amazing things I have to say the japan beer was my favorite beer of the festival The pistachio two desserts were number one and the short rib was the best food food item So pistachio and the rose The haku beer and the short rib my favorite things of festival of the arts so far I will make another video though. I will be back and I'm just happy to be here So I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time Bye
