Cast Member’s Corner: Cast Member Conversations

Having just been in Disney I’m having such a hard time deciding what to write, besides having the post-Disney blues.  After warring with myself for quite awhile I figured I would share some information I attained while on vacation.  In the past I have written about conversing with the Cast Members, it never disappoints.  Between kind-hearted teasing about someone’s “First Visit Again” pin to their knowledge of the parks and what is going on,  I made conversation with several Cast Members while waiting in lines and learned some fun new things.

Thrifty Thursday: Epcot International Food and Wine Festival 2012

Epcot International Food and Wine Festival: six words that are sweet, delicious music to every Disney foodie’s ears. 

Walking around the World Showcase, sipping and snacking, is a great way to spend an afternoon (or two … or three) during Food and Wine, but it’s not exactly the most cost-effective way to get your Disney dining done. 

But never fear! I’ve been to the Food and Wine Festival, and I’ve got you covered. Here are my top five picks for the thriftiest treats at this year’s festival: 

Pumpkin Mousse from Hops and Barley (Mouse on the Mind)1. Pumpkin Mousse from Hops and Barley (American Adventure) 
Not only is this the cheapest eat on my list at $1.50, it’s also my all-time favorite Food and Wine snack. Yes, it’s small, but there are four or five good bites here, and every one of them is delicious. It’s got cool, creamy pudding,  chewy craisins and a little bit of crunch from the oat crumble topping. Perfect, delicious and thrifty.
