 Hey friends today we are hanging out at Epcot for the International Festival of the Arts 2022. We're gonna give you the grand tour and I plan on going around and trying something from every single booth at World Showcase and also show you all the other festival activities that they have to offer this year. Any hoos let's go do this! First things first we have to grab ourselves a festival passport and other than some amazing food and some awesome art that you can purchase. There is a lot of cool activities here. One thing is the paint by number mural where everybody gets that like paint by number and it creates an awesome mural that they'll actually showcase throughout the festival of the arts and then also over here they have a little chalk area where you can make your own art with some chalk so I think we're actually gonna do some of that right now. The chalk area over here by the land is basically for kids like you get to actually draw with chalk and I think that's really fun but adults can do it too so I would like to actually make a little something maybe I'll write my name I don't know I haven't wrote on the pavement with chalk in such a long time. So you grab yourself a little caddy right here there we go I think I did good I think I did a good job but my fingers are all chalky now and there was no line to actually do that but to do the paint by number there is a pretty long line right here is the design that everybody's painting and once it's complete this is what it's gonna look like it's gonna be amazing but like I said the line is a little bit long so we might actually have to come back and do this but I do want to do it because I feel like it's a tradition here for festival of the arts. Probably the most popular thing for the festival of the arts this year is the figment popcorn bucket. People have been here since park opening and they've been waiting for several hours to get this popcorn bucket and right now I hear it's a four to six hour wait just to get a popcorn bucket but it is a really fancy popcorn bucket it is figment. The line is wrapping all the way around the front entrance of world showcase and this is almost halfway through right here and wow like I gotta say I wasn't expecting this many people but figment is kind of like the icon of Epcot and the icon of festival of the arts. The sad thing is is the popcorn buckets are being sold at an actual festival booth pop eats so if you want to get any of the food items you have to wait in the two to four hour line. Since they're selling the figment popcorn bucket at the pop eats stand if you want to get a line to get a tomato soup with grilled cheese then you're gonna have to wait in the four hour line. That is so crazy isn't it? So I don't think anyone's gonna be getting any of the food unless they're here for the figment popcorn bucket and we're gonna swing back later on to see if the line goes down. I said that they only have 300 cases so they're gonna sell out eventually and I'm sure once we come back we're gonna be able to get some food from here without having to wait four hours. Another thing that I like that they do at the festival of the arts is they have all these great like photo opportunities around world showcase and of course all the Disney fine art so I'm gonna show you some of the art we're gonna eat some of the food and yeah just enjoy a day at festival of the arts. Our first stop of the day is gonna be here at the Mexico stand and my friend Lily has her own margarita hair so I had to come out and try it and I'm so excited to see what it tastes like and we're also gonna get a couple of the food items too because Mexico is like always my first stop. I always start in Mexico and then make my way around world showcase. First things first we're gonna be getting my friends margarita the Lily and I love it. Look at it. Exo Lily that's her signature on there and I can't wait to try it so here we go. Oh that is so good. I can really taste the rose petal of the core in there. I love it. She did a great job. She actually designed this drink so I'm really happy to try it. I wanted to show you guys the ingredients to the Lily and it comes with Lily's favorite tequila and then right there is the rose petal of the core that's what I tasted like kind of off the bat and then cranberry and lime juice and it's a fire stick garnish and I don't know if the fire stick is edible but maybe we'll try a little bit later especially after we have the taco de chocolate which I'm probably most excited for. Seriously this is probably gonna be my favorite drink of the day and I don't even know if I'm gonna get many more drinks but this one right here I'm definitely gonna come back and get another one. Here is a look at all the food items from the Mexico booth and they have so many amazing things like I am pumped for the carne asada and then also the taco de chocolate and it's a little chocolate candy shell filled with Mexican chocolate mousse and a touch of chili and some seasonal fruit and it looks so fancy look it's like a little mini choco taco. I think I'm gonna dive into the carne asada and I'm gonna grab myself some steak look at this this looks so good right and a little bit of the cheese right here the griddle cheese wow I'm pumped. You guys know how much I love my steak so I'm excited to have a little steak option here in the Mexico booth so here we go mm-hmm now I'm gonna dive in to the what I like to call the choco taco and we're gonna cut it up though because I want to share it with some friends there we go that's the way teamwork make stream work yep get a little of that sauce a little of that fresh fruit all in one bite and perfect now it's time for the choco taco oh wow that is good now of course I did say I want to try the fire stick because I do believe every single flower is edible but it's whether or not it tastes good so we're gonna get a little of the lily on the top there so here we go a little fire stick hopefully it's edible I don't know it's actually really nice it is not like the lavender I like this of course hanging out at an opening day event we're gonna run into a lot of friends and it's been fun so far we have Kristen and write down Main Street then we've got Shannon with the second star collective Jojo Jojo's world and then dating in Disney so I'm so excited and we are just gonna hang out have fun all day long that's a good vibe my friend Trevor actually ended up getting a popcorn figment bucket I think I said that backwards a popcorn figment bucket should it be figment popcorn bucket but how long did you have to wait about three hours three hours but it's worth it look it you look great and you wore a purple shirt to match excellent I love it well thank you Trevor now it's time to move along and I was just talking about how I never see a festival booth in Norway they had one a long time ago but I haven't seen any recently so the next stop is gonna be China and they have some good things on the menu here is the painted panda and they have a lot of good offerings they have the General Sal's chicken shumi and at first I called it tsunami but I think I'm saying it right now and then they also have the pork bun and I think I'm gonna get myself a pork bun or maybe try the General Sal's out because I do love that so I decided I'm getting the General Sal's shumai which before I was kind of calling it shumi and also tsunami and I also got myself the pork bun so I'm excited there's a lot of good food to offer and we've only made it to our second booth oh my lord look at this thank you wow we're gonna start off by trying the pork bun here and this looks so so good and I think this was here last year I'm not too sure but I remember having something like this so we're gonna try it here this is so good but it does cost $8.50 so $8.50 for one and I feel like that's a lot like I do feel like it's expensive and it's not worth the value like it's not very I mean the price is high but you don't get a lot for it you know I mean there's a lot of better items here and I'm afraid to see what the prices are like when we get to the Italy booth those are usually the largest like price scales actually so now we're gonna try the shumai here and it looks actually really really good how do you guys like my hack with the chopsticks if you don't know how to use chopsticks just don't break them yeah if you don't break them they kind of just work as folks but I do know how to use chopsticks but I think this is really fun this also was super expensive but at least you get three of them and it was over $10 so I'm excited to try it though here we go oh wow that is amazing wow there is definitely a little spice in there but I did like it a lot and I think this is probably my preferable one I would get this again the general solution my and now I guess we're gonna try the drink and the drink looks so fancy doesn't it now it's time to try the sea butterfly and I'm not the biggest fan of boba drinks but I don't like the texture of them you know what I mean but we're gonna give it a go this is really good I like this a lot actually I sipped it from the top at first and I didn't like it but if you actually get a good sip of everything so so good this is definitely a very pretty pretty drink and a lot of people are walking around drinking it so it is popular and I'm glad we got to try it but I think we're gonna move along from here we've come across our first artist booth and it's the pop gallery and this one actually might seem a little familiar to you because it is terribly odd and he is the artist that actually does all of the Gideon's artwork how cool is that so you can buy custom Gideon's artwork right here so some of these are actually only sold here but I love it I think that is so cool and a lot of people don't even know that this exists but it even be cool to come meet him because he's actually here meeting and greeting so you can bring some of your favorite Gideon's cards and he'll probably sign them for you you guys know I'm a big fan of Gideon so it's really awesome to be able to see the artist here and I wish I could buy something right now I didn't get to look at the prices too much and I'm also very cautious whenever I show art some of the boots here they actually have a sign that says no photography or no video so we're gonna actually keep our eye out for that because we don't want people to like you know like we don't want to show off people's custom art this is like the thing that they make and it's a living so we'll look out for that but that right there is so cool the line seems so long today though I don't know if we're gonna be able to get something from each stand but I'm gonna try right here at the refreshment outpost I know they have some special things I think they have a plant-based brought worse but look at the line to actually get something from there and this isn't even in like a festival booth here is the Germany booth and they have a lot of good offerings to including the red wine braised beef short rib now this was my favorite I think last year it was so so good and then also they have the Alper cake and this is also a really good cake and it's kind of like a coffee like buttercream kind of like a Terama's soup cake and I don't know if I'm gonna get anything this time because it does look like the line is like like I said they're very very long but we're gonna assess the situation usually the lines aren't like this this is just like a opening day kind of thing I mean during peak season but as we get later into the day I'm sure the lines are gonna go down a little bit so if we have to make two laps we will and I'll try to try a little bit of everything and for now I think we're gonna hop over to Italy gonna go to the Italy pavilion which I told you before they have like the highest prices out of any of the food booths here so it'd be interesting to see what they got going on over there sadly we come upon the Italy stand and the line is worse than Germany now before you remember I was telling you that the items were the most expensive of the festival and holy moly it's not stopping people like they're here to get their stuff as you can see the air and Chinese $14 the raviolis $13 and I think you only get three raviolis maybe so you're getting three raviolis for $13 so it's it and wow I'm shocked they also have multiple registers too so it's not like just one register there's three registers there and holy moly another really awesome thing that actually happens during the festival the arts is all the joffery stands has like a special drink and this year they're doing cereal coffees and they're all different ones so we're coming up to the jofferies by the American adventure and it's called the rainbow dreams and it's kind of like a lucky charms coffee or lucky charms cold brew and I need to get it so we're gonna hop in line for that and hopefully it's not gonna be as long as Italy and Germany and then we're gonna move along to Japan and there's a lot of other good like stops to get some good food items here it is right here the rainbow dreams cold brew and it looks like lucky charms on top and I'm so excited this looks so so good and here it is look at this bad boy this is so fun looking here we go it's time to try it and I want to eventually try all the cereal coffees here at Epcot now that's gonna be something I'm probably gonna have to spread out luckily this festival is going on for some time so we're gonna have the opportunity to try them but here we go the rainbow dreams oh it's good I mean it's just like a regular cold brew coffee it just tastes like cold brew and I'm sure you just get this added benefit of like eating cereal afterwards so it's kind of like coffee and cereal just conveniently in one cup I would assume that once you actually drink a lot of the coffee and the whipped cream and the cereal gets down there I bet you it's gonna taste really good but the coffee itself don't taste like lucky charms it just is like the regular joffreys cold brew but it's still very very good and I'm excited I'm excited to get it all finished up so now we're mixing it around that's the way look at it looks like a bowl of cereal I think you're on to something here I think you unlock something wait a second I gotta do this maybe I gotta take a step first all right we're gonna try mixing it around here that was the trick I think there we go get those marshmallows down there all right now we're gonna give it a sip now we're gonna try it all mixed together much better mixed all together mm-hmm now we're coming up on our first artist photo opportunity and that's here in the American Pavilion and I think we're actually gonna do it as a big group and we actually joined up with more friends Jackie super enthused and promise promise hope so we got we got a big group growing here happy festival the art day another thing you have to be on the lookout for is some Disney art in each of the pavilions and usually has to relate to the actual movie or movies that have to relate to that pavilion so we're in Italy and they actually have some Luca art by a water fountain and I kind of think that's a little clever if you haven't seen the movie Luca I suggest you do I actually really do love this movie and they have all this artwork right here by the waterfall and I think I'm gonna take a sip I'm gonna have a little Luca water no Bruno no Bruno our next stop is gonna be here at the Japan stand and I'm gonna try the sushi doughnut now this isn't something new it's been on the menu for a while and I'm not the biggest fan of sushi but I really do want to experiment and try different things and I figured if I'm gonna experiment with sushi might as well try it while it's a doughnut so we're gonna get that and then also maybe one of the drinks I am a little bit nervous about trying the sushi doughnut but I'm so excited to try it and we're sushi but not sushi doughnut not sushi doughnut I have tried it before and I was like not the biggest fan but to get something to drink with the sushi doughnut they have the personalized wooden cups that you get talking in it so I had to do it I'm so excited there it is that's mine and it says paging mr. Maro look at that I love it oh yeah and we're gonna get this full of sake oh and here they go they're going up for sake cups I love it so is this promise that's you Jackie super enthused oh look how she put mini ears for you guys and then Mickey for me I am so excited so so cool and here's our sushi doughnut and now it's time to enjoy some sake we're drinking out of a wooden box oh this is good this right here was only $13 and you get a nice personalized box and it comes with the miso sake I think that's what they called it and I like it I'm like really excited about this I get it every single year so this is like my fifth box or how many festival the arts have there been five or four so four right or five the fifth one yeah fifth year so I five boxes I think and I will cherish every single one of them I do have to say it is a little difficult to drink out of though because like you're drinking out of a corner of a box yeah like you're yet to hit the corner yeah so you'll definitely have a little spillage all right now it's time to try the sushi doughnut and I pulled out my chopsticks but I think I'm gonna eat it like a doughnut but you kind of have a little bit of a different bite all the way around the doughnut they even have a little sesame seeds here and I was joking around and I said they should call it like a sushi bagel instead but I don't know where to start so I guess I'm just gonna Lord I'm gonna try to pick it up I don't know if this actually works like that I don't know if it works like that but we're gonna find out all right here we go I'm gonna eat it like a doughnut and I'm gonna eat sushi I think that's the biggest shocking big error kind of bite it but once they take a bite it might fall apart oh boy okay we're going for it here we go yeah I think fall apart I'm gonna try the tuna now section and I don't think I can pick it up anymore it will definitely fall apart but yeah it's a one-time pick up and now I'm gonna try some of the different sauces here what are the sauces duck sauce duck sauce and like a wasabi sauce oh wasabi sauce duck sauce okay can I do a little bit of everything and this is kind of where the festival of the arts takes in because it's kind of like painting but all the sauce there we go and also making it fall apart here we go a little bit of everything on one bite well all the sauces and so far it's not that bad like I I don't like sushi I wouldn't get it again but if you do love sushi I can definitely see people liking this a lot my favorite thing has to be though the wooden cups I would pay just for these wooden cups so cheers guys we're the wooden cup sake gang the wooden cup sake gang and this is like the traditional way to drink sake now it's time to move along to my most anticipated food booth and it's the incanto booth here between Morocco and France and if you guys seen the movie I really do love it and they have so many amazing things I'm gonna show you the menu real quick because they have tons they have a house-made chorizo and potato epinata they have some spicy soup a passion fruit mousse and then they also have a frozen pina colada and of passion fruit daiquiri and it comes in a little collectible cup so I'm excited to try these we ended up getting a little bit of everything because they have so many great offerings and I'm just gonna kind of show you it all I get this is really really awesome here is the chorizo and potato epinata and then this is the passion fruit mousse there's so many great things and then the spicy soup and I like a little spoon the festival of the arts spoon that they actually sell and then here are the drinks now I don't know are these the alcoholic version no non-alcoholic yeah here is the Epcot festival the arts cup that you get with the passion fruit smoothie and I'm excited to try it this looks so fusto like very nice now there's no alcohol on this either oh that's good that is good I could taste coconut I don't know why but I like it this is really really good now I'm gonna try the epinata and I'm excited because it looks so so good and I love chorizo too so we're gonna get a little fork full here here we go I hear great things about the epinata here so I kind of expect great things because the way it looks that is great I can honestly say I think this is my favorite food item of the festival this is so good and I'll definitely be back to try some of it the soup looks good too a lot of corn in there and yeah I'm excited and can't so really like hit it out of the park and also we didn't even touch the dessert no we didn't even touch it yet now we're gonna try the passion fruit mousse here and get a little bit add on top this looks so so good and festive it's definitely good for the festival the odds oh what's in the center there it's like a cherry or something red in the middle there that must be the dragon fruit jam so we didn't get a lot on this plate but we'll try it eventually because oh here we go hi how are you she want to know how the dragon fruit tram was heart very heart it is very moosey not so cakey definitely could use a little bit more cake but I do I mean it's okay but it's not my favorite I can tell you that I think at the end of the video I'm gonna try to recap some of my favorite things that I got to try today and it's always good coming to like the opening day of a festival because you get to try a whole bunch of different items and experiments so you know when you come back which ones you want to get and also I want to show a little bit more of the art sometimes like I said you go past the art boots and they're very busy and it's all about the art it's special the arts you know what I mean now it's time for our next booth and it's a festival classic the deconstructed dish and there is a couple of new items on the menu they have a deconstructed key lime pie a deconstructed French onion soup a deconstructed BLT no more deconstructed ruben I know that was very popular and also a deconstructed apple pie drink so I think we have to do it this is like a like classic this is a staple for festival of the arts now I think we're gonna try the deconstructed key lime pie now this one I was super excited to try I do miss the deconstructed cheesecake but this is gonna be good like it looks so so good here it is and I think the best way to do it is try to kind of construct it so we're gonna take a little bit of this a little bit of that maybe a little bit of this like you know I'm trying to I don't know how to actually dig oh this is like a moose so there we go gonna just flop that right there try to get a little bit of that on top of that and I think that'll do it I think now we have constructed a key lime pie I almost feel like I just did a magic trick I took a deconstructed pie and I constructed it back together to have an ultimate bite wow that is good too festival of the arts is hitting it out of the park with the desserts seriously oh my I don't know which one's my favorite though it is so tough something I noticed we've been missing is beer we haven't had any beer here at festival of the arts and they actually have a Neapolitan beer flight so a little bit of vanilla strawberry and chocolate and I think that is so amazing I have to try it because it's so like colorful and then also look at all the amazing desserts they have here too these are so so cool this is such a clever beer flight for the festival of the arts I really do love it a little chocolate a little strawberry a little vanilla and I can't wait to try them I'm gonna actually show you the card too here is the card itself and you can see it goes strawberry blonde nitro and then a vanilla porter and then the milk stout so this is such like I said I really really do love it so I think we're gonna try strawberry first I'm gonna guess that this is the strawberry one but I really can't tell but you figure strawberry be the clearest and the vanilla is a porter or a stout so that's gonna be a little bit darker so we're gonna try it out here well that's pretty good I like that now we're gonna try the vanilla porter of a little vanilla porter and it's gonna be like vanilla ice cream oh that is good I like the vanilla porter and now for the milk stout little milk stout the vanilla porter is a win yeah that's the one I wish the color scheming would be a little bit more like colorful but what can you do with stouts and porters you really can't really make them like a vanilla color you know what I mean but I really do appreciate this flight just of what it is you know I mean it's not like the best beer flight I've had but it's such a great concept and that's why I love it it's a great concept for festival of the arts and yeah it was fun it's really awesome being with the big group of people because it gives me the opportunity to show you guys some of the desserts and a lot of the food items that we actually had earlier without having to order them so like we can kind of share them but not like actually share them like things I wouldn't normally order I'm able to show you guys and now we can show you some of the desserts that they actually have in that food that I said looked really pretty here are some of those desserts here is the decadent one and this is a dark chocolate mousse a chocolate brownie and molasses and look at that this is so pretty this is like the prettiest dessert I think I've seen and then this is the dulce chocolate mousse and this also looks so good it actually has a little gold flake on there look you can see the gold flake kind of moving in the wind but these are really really fancy and they're kind of so pretty you don't want to ruin them we're gonna dive in and try this one right here and this like I said these look so fancy oh it's got a little crisp to it so here is the gold flake dulce and I can't wait to try it like these look so fancy wow holy moly now we moved on to the Canada booth and they actually have a roasted bone marrow and I've never had bone marrow before and it's always been something I've been interested in trying so it looks like today's a day it's served with an onion marmalade pickled mushrooms some lettuce and bone marrow snow I don't even know what bone marrow snow is but it sounds cool but bone marrow snow and paging mr. Murrow eat some marrow this is truly something else right here I have never had bone marrow before but I'm so excited to try it like look at it it is like a huge bone Sean's gonna try the bone marrow first you're gonna let me know I'm not a big fan of the feeling of me just scraping something in the bone it just feels like I'm in the variables leg or something but it's good it has definitely a good flavor to it but the texture and they're like the experience yeah well I'm gonna I'm gonna try mine now here we go I got it all scooped up on the bread and it's time to try it and I'm excited it like I'm super excited look at it it's kind of just hanging there okay I like it some people don't like the bone marrow I went looking for my bone marrow and Maria like grabbed all the bones Maria grabbed all the bones and she's like hoarding the bones over there after experimenting with bone marrow I kind of liked it I mean after like two or three times it was really really good and now I think we're gonna go catch some Broadway because they do have Broadway performances for the Festival of the Arts back in America so we're gonna make our way back there now and I think it's Aladdin tonight so this is gonna be really interesting because this is Adam Jacobs and the original Jasmine so you have the original Aladdin and the original Jasmine from the Broadway Aladdin and they're gonna be performing some of their best hits here and I'm so happy that we got to come and check it out so they were just playing the music before the Broadway actually starts and I'm getting all pumped up like look at the Disney on Broadway concert I hope you guys know this or her or maybe already know but Ariel here starred as Jasmine and Aladdin on Broadway yeah I'm ready no but Adam created the role of Aladdin truly honored to be a part of the Disney on Broadway family and excited to share a few Disney's hits with you tonight it's really awesome to see the Broadway with the fireworks look at that I can show you the world shiny shimmery splendid tell me princess now when did you last light your heart aside I can only wonder I wonder oversight on a magic musical awesome was that I love the fact that I kind of came in knowing that we'd get a lot of Aladdin songs because you know I mean they were like stars of Aladdin on Broadway but we got a little Lion King high school musical Freaky Friday it was amazing and I loved it so much and we made our way back over to pop eats at the end of the night and it looks like there's still a four hour wait to get the popcorn buckets but they're still selling them though but a lot of people still waiting I would bet it's probably like a two hour wait I wouldn't say it's four hours I'm gonna if we can ask somebody yeah how long you guys been waiting for two hours to yeah just about one hour let's not too bad so an hour wait no and it finally looks like they cut off the line right here and they didn't cut off the line because they ran out of popcorn buckets they cut off the line because the wait would exceed how long the park is open till so they said you can come back tomorrow 9 a.m. they're gonna be opened up and they still have popcorn buckets for tomorrow so it's pretty shocking I'm so happy to see this photo pass opportunity back especially with the new spaceship Earth I'm gonna try to show you guys how those pictures came out and they're so awesome look at this I love it these are my friends right here but isn't it it's the best photo pass opportunity ever so so cool I'm happy they brought it back and with that I think we are done here today I had such an amazing day hanging out with friends getting to try so many different food and drink options it was so amazing and I have to say my favorite drink probably is the lily I loved it it was so good favorite food item of the night probably the chorizo and potato empanada and we're definitely gonna do like around two we didn't get to do a lot of the boots so we did a good fair amount I think we did 50% so there's gonna be definitely a part two for the festival of the arts I'm sure this is gonna be a long video but I had so much fun and once the crowds actually go down a little bit today it was very difficult the lines were like almost 45 minutes just to get food and almost all of them like you know I mean there was a six hour wait for a popcorn bucket and eventually I might get a popcorn bucket tomorrow they said that they're gonna be still available they cut it off today just because of the wait time but maybe a popcorn bucket in the future for me who knows and I hope you enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it we'll see you next time bye
