This dining experience took place on September 26, 2014

If you remember Nevie’s lamb story (here), you’ll understand why Nick tried to think of all the places we could easily get lamb during her visit (other than the marketplace booths during Food & Wine, we hit those up early in the visit). Of

Japan – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2014

Thie Epcot Food & Wine Experience took place on October 22, 2014

There was one item at the Japan Marketplace that we really wanted to try. A couple of reasons: one, the early reviews of it were pretty positive and two, it sounded more interesting to us than the Spicy Hand Roll or the Teriyaki

Backstage Safari (in Nevie’s own words)

This time the trip report is all Nevie! We did this tour a few years ago with our friends, Asta and Mrs. Asta. No photos in this post because it all happens “backstage” (and no photos are allowed backstage)…

The tour began at the entrance of the park and after checking in, we entered to

Spice Road Table – Stuffed Grape Leaves v2

this experience took place on Sunday, May 4, 2014

On Latifa’s suggestion, we ordered the Stuffed Grape Leaves with extra capers and raisins…

Craft Beers – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2014

This wasn’t our first stop at the Craft Beer Marketplace – Nick had stopped in on preview day, we stopped in with Walter and Nevie, and we stopped in again – partly to get out of the heat and because we had time to kill before our second Sake & Food Pairing.

We enjoyed the

Wild Africa Trek with Nevie (in her own words)

We had an early start today to take part in the Wild Africa Trek . When we arrived at Animal Kingdom we were warmly greeted and after a short orientation and bathroom break we were off. After entering the park, it was a bit confusing for me to find where I needed to go because

Brazil – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2014

On to Brazil!

We didn’t quite enjoy the Pork Belly from Brazil last year, we wished for a more crispiness. It was disappointing because we really like pork belly.

This year, it wasn’t disappointing at all. This may be the best thing we’ve had
