Guess what?!?! News about the 2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is starting to trickle in … and I’m starting to get excited!
We all know that eating around the World Showcase during Food & Wine can be a thrifty way to enjoy lots of little bites for a small price, and this year will be no different … except you’ll be able to enjoy a taste of Scotland, too!! Read more
Your car needs a new motor. Your husband lost his job. The IRS has slapped you with a giant fine. Life costs money. Sometimes more than you have. And at that point, a flight to Orlando (not to mention on-site lodging and daily Park tickets) simply isn’t an option.
When money is tight and a visit to the Mouse House just isn’t in the cards, I like to make a little Disney magic in my kitchen. It’s easier than walking to Orlando, cheaper than eating out, and more fun than eating the same old brussels sprouts and dry chicken breast. Read more
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:
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.
