Looking for a little peace and quiet in the midst of a busy day at Epcot? Look no further (and you WILL have to look) than Katsura Grill. As you enter the Japanese Pavilion, you will notice a few steps on the left leading up to what appears like a tea house. You have to look carefully but once you find it, you’ll be rewarded with a lovely spot to relax away from the crowds, where you can enjoy some delicious Japanese food. Read more

Thrifty Thursday: Grazing Your Way Around Epcot’s World Showcase

 

IMG_0515When traveling to Walt Disney World we seem to go against what so many other people do: while I love all the different restaurants Disney has to offer, filling our days with ADR’s, Advance Dining Reservations for the novice, takes more time then we want to spend and doesn’t always fit into our budget. Fast food restaurants in World Showcase have so much more than the typical hamburger fare.  While these counter service locations do not have the fancy silverware, the linen napkins, or the attentive server; we find the more relaxed atmosphere suits us just fine.  We can choose where we eat and when, since most days, two meals is the norm.

One of my favorite Counter Service locations in Walt Disney World Resort is the Boulangerie Patisserie located in World Showcase – France. Past the Bistro de Paris and the Chefs de France entrance is an absolutely awesome pastry shop with a variety of tarts, mousse, eclairs, quiche and croissants. There is also ham & cheese croissants, quiche and sandwiches available. As you pass through a stone entrance you’ll find one of the best counter services available with such a variety you’ll find yourself stopping by here often. Read more
