Many Disney visitors are familiar with a brand that can be found several places around property: Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company. We have been known to regularly enjoy coffees, teas, and frozen drinks while visiting the parks and Joffrey’s has become a familiar brand. As part of Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival, Joffrey’s has created several specialty beverages only available during this time at Epcot. Each Joffrey’s location in the park offers a featured drink and we have taken a trip around the world to sample these new creations. Read on for our review of these limited edition recipes…

This Year’s Special Beverage Offerings
1. Near Mission: SPACE – COCOA COLD BREW $6.39
Kona Mocha topped with Whipped Cream and drizzled with Chocolate.
(Also available with Jameson Cold Brew Whiskey for $12.99)
The Kona Mocha is one of Andrew’s go-to drinks being a nice frozen coffee drink. The Cocoa Cold Brew takes it up a notch with more chocolate! We also added the alcohol shot which made this drink so yummy. It was a great balance of coffee and chocolate, and being frozen was perfect for a hot September day. The whipped cream and cookie were a nice touch too.

2. Near Disney Traders – DOUBLE TROUBLE CHAI $6.39
Tantalizing Iced Chai with a Single Shot of Espresso topped with Whipped Cream and Cinnamon.
(Also available with Jameson Cold Brew Whiskey for $12.99)
Julie loved this drink with a unique twist featuring both chai tea and coffee. Being iced we found it the perfect combo of being cold and refreshing but also the chai spice made it feel like a perfect fall drink. The whipped cream and cookie were a nice touch, but it didn’t feel as dessert like as the Cocoa Cold Brew.

3. Near Canada – TROPICAL TEA BREEZE $6.39
Iced Tea and Frozen Lemon with a splash of Coconut Syrup.
(Also available with Tito’s Vodka for $12.99)
Now this drink was perfect to add to a day drinking around the world. We added the vodka option which reminded us of a long island ice tea but with a tropical twist. The frozen lemonade and coconut flavor added a lot to this drink and we could certainly enjoy several on a hot day.

4. The American Adventure – CINNAMON CHAI $6.39
Refreshing Iced Chai Tea Latte topped with whipped cream and cinnamon.
(Also available with Cinnamon Whiskey for $12.99)
Another chai based drink (and one Andrew really loved). Being more milk based with lots of cinnamon it reminded us of a liquid milkshake. While the chai flavor was there this was sweeter and more dessert like too. Loved the addition of whipped cream and the cookie.

5. Available at All Booths – TART & TANGY $6.39
An exotic blend of refreshing ice tea, frozen lemonade, and mandarin syrup.
(Also available with Tito’s Vodka for $12.99)
This seasonal pick was similar to the Tropical tea above but instead of coconut has a citrus twist. We tried this one with vodka as well and it was refreshing. We didn’t like it quite as much as the Tropical version as the mandarin wasn’t as strong as the coconut. But still a good refreshing drink on a hot day.

Final Thoughts
There are so many food & beverage options to try at Epcot this time of year, it was nice to learn about these. As fun as it is to get a little 5 oz beer pour here and there sometimes a larger iced drink or a frozen coffee really hits the spot during the hot transition to Florida Fall. We liked being able to try the options ranging from iced and tropical to spiced flavors perfect for Fall. We highly recommend trying out a Joffrey’s drink on your next visit to Epcot. And make sure to try these particular ones before they disappear after November 20th! (Thank you Joffrey’s for letting us sample these delicious drinks!)

The holidays are officially here! We love visiting the parks during this season and one of our favorites to see is Epcot for the International Festival of the Holidays. With festive decor, cultural entertainment, and lots of holiday goodies this festival always put us in the holiday spirit. A fun activity during this time is the Holiday Cookie Stroll. Read on to learn more about this fun tradition…
One thing that many people love to enjoy while visiting Walt Disney World is food. We hate to admit it, but over the years we have usually ranked the Magic Kingdom at the bottom of the list for finding great restaurant options. But a few years back a new addition to the park quickly became a must do for us: Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen. This spot checks all the boxes for us: theming, good food, and great service. Read on to learn more about this must do spot that is perfect for adults dining in the Magic Kingdom…

At the very top of the Contemporary Resort you will find an award-winning restaurant that is arguably one of the most sought after dining reservations on Walt Disney World Property — The California Grill. This signature dining restaurant offers Pacific Coast inspired fine dining and unbeatable views of the Seven Seas Lagoon and the Magic Kingdom. We have been lucky enough to dine in this establishment a few times over the years, and it has always been a special occasion for us. Since the menu and ambiance makes for a romantic date night we decided to book a dinner here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Read on to learn more about one of our favorite spots for a magical meal…
When thinking of bucket list experiences at Walt Disney World one can top the list for most Fairytale loving fans: seeing iconic Cinderella Castle. Now imagine a chance to dine INSIDE the castle. Sounds like a dream right? Cinderella happens to be Julie’s favorite princess and we were lucky enough to dine at Cinderella’s Royal Table years ago for a special occasion. We decided to return once again to celebrate our anniversary last month. Read on for a review of the restaurant and see if this Signature Dining experience is as magical as it sounds…
One big event that draws crowd every fall is the Food and Wine Festival. This year marks the 25th year of this special event, but with 2020 being the year of change we knew this year’s festival may look a little different. While there is still a festival planned this year it is scaled back from previous versions and being called Taste of Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. So come along as we explore what a “mini festival” at Epcot is like…
While we find Disney’s Animal Kingdom to have some of the best dining options in the parks (like Tiffin’s!), on our last visit we decided to try something a little different: a pizza joint. Pizzafari is located in Discovery Isle and offers a dinner option that is a cross between quick service and table service. We were in the mood for carbs and the price seemed reasonable so we ventured over to try out this spot. Read on for a full review of the Family-Style Dining offering…
Do you remember when Planet Hollywood used to be a big blue planet with “The Jenny” boat from Forrest Gump parked outside? We sure do and we have to admit we probably haven’t actually visited since then. With the redo of Disney Springs the restaurant received a facelift in 2017 to fit the new theming and we were definitely due for a visit to see the remodel. Last week we had a hankering for some American food and went to go check out the redone Planet Hollywood Observatory which included a different menu too. We have always been big movie fans so were also excited to see the memorabilia inside too. Read on to hear about our dinner at this fun themed spot…
Andrew loves a good steak dinner and a certain restaurant at Disney Springs had been on our list for awhile: STK Steakhouse. STK describes itself as a chic and modern steakhouse offering a fine dining experience. This location happened to be participating in Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining promotion which offers a special three-course prix-fixe dinner for only $35. With Andrew’s brother Chris, wife Kelly, and niece visiting us in Orlando we decided to book a reservation for us to enjoy a nice dinner together. Read on to hear more about this unique spot at Disney Springs…
While we love strolling Epcot’s World Showcase and sampling food and drink along the way, once in awhile we love booking a table service meal in one of the countries. Morocco has always been one of our favorite stops for flavorful cuisine. The menus can seem a bit more adventurous for some, which we find can actually lead to less kids and a quieter atmosphere. Having opened in 2014, Spice Road Table is a newer addition to the pavilion and has quickly become one of our favorites. Read on to hear more about this great dinner spot…
Throughout the year there are a few different seasons that bring some extra magic to Disney parks. One of those times happens to be in the spring when Epcot hosts the International Flower & Garden Festival. We had been to this festival years ago, and boy has it grown! (Food booths didn’t even exist back then!) While the 2020 festival season was cut short we were lucky enough to visit a little bit in the beginning and wanted to share the offerings this year. From beautiful gardens, to fresh food, and springtime merch, read on to hear what this festival has to offer…
While celebrity Austrian-American chef Wolfgang Puck is not new to Disney property, we personally had yet to dine at any of his locations. The newest Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill location opened at Disney Springs in 2018 and has been on our list of restaurants we had wanted to try for awhile now. When making some plans with friends we decided the comfort food menu and variety of drinks sounded like a crowd pleaser so we finally decided to make a reservation. And lucky us, our dinner date also happened to fall during Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining promotion. With a special three-course prix-fixe dinner for only $35 this dinner was an even more perfect excuse for a night out. Read on to hear more about this modern dining option with fresh classic dishes…
This past Christmas we tried something new and booked a visit to Disney’s Magic Kingdom on Christmas Day (make sure to check out our recap article on 5 lessons learned). We knew we wanted a cozy holiday meal, and decided to book a mid-day reservation at Liberty Tree Tavern. This colonial-style table service restaurant is known best for family-style Thanksgiving meals. More recently they have also added some a la carte options too which we decided to explore this time. Read on to hear about this hearty dining option…
When it comes to deciding on whether or not to get the Disney Dining Plan we are usually a hard pass. But on a recent trip to Walt Disney World we decided to do a little experiment. We saw an opportunity to be strategic and took on the challenge of seeing how much we could save with the priciest option: the Disney Deluxe Dining Plan. We are proud to say that we absolutely slayed this challenge and far surpassed our expectations of coming out ahead. And we felt like we were drinking champagne on a beer budget (even if it was a Disney priced beer budget lol.) So let us break it down and explain exactly what we did to “hack” the Disney Deluxe Dining plan to save nearly half the cost of what we consumed…
Many people ask us what is our favorite restaurant on Disney property and the truth is there are so many that we love it can be hard to pick just one. But today we wanted to write about one of our favorites that we think is a perfect spot for a special date night out. At Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, one of our favorite resorts, you can find Narcoossee’s. This casual elegance restaurant features coastal cuisine dishes. We recently dined here on Christmas Eve, read on for a full review from that night…
This month a new adult experience has officially launched on Disney property. Introducing: Sangria University at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. Offered exclusively at Three Bridges Bar & Grill, this fun class is a unique opportunity to both learn, and get your drink on. So read on to hear all the details on this activity that is perfect for adults to enjoy while on Disney property.
Last year a new fast casual restaurant launched in Disney Springs: Chicken Guy! We have had this on the list of places to try and were thrilled when we were recently invited to come by and enjoy a variety of menu items. We showed up hungry and ready to learn more about this new popular concept that is starting to expand to new locations across the country. Read on for all the juicy details…
On our recent visit to Walt Disney World we were extended a gracious invitation to dine at Wine Bar George, the only Master Sommelier-led wine bar in Florida, which happens to be located in Disney Springs. This new-ish dining location opened earlier this spring and we were very excited to finally go check it out. We stopped by for a late Sunday afternoon lunch to try some drinks, share some plates, and decide if this is a must visit location for foodie Disney loving adults.
If you haven’t heard already, a brand new land is opening at Disney’s Hollywood Studios later this month: Star War’s Galaxy Edge! This past weekend we were lucky enough to be able to explore this new world before the official opening on the 29th as part of Annual Passholders preview days. We scored a reservation on the very first day for a 1-5pm time slot to be able to enjoy the area with lower crowds. So come along as we give an overview of the new land as well as share five tips to help you enjoy your first trip to Batuu…
One of our favorite spots on Walt Disney World property by far is the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. It holds so many romantic moments and special memories for us. During our wedding week Julie and the ladies had “tea time” at the Grand while the guys had “tee time” next door at Disney’s Palm Golf Course (see what we did there?). Since then, we have both had the pleasure of being back to visit a few times over the years for Afternoon Tea at the Garden View Tea Room. On a recent visit we enjoyed the experience once again and wanted to capture the details and share our reasons why this is a must do in our books.
The last time we stayed at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge we had enjoyed visiting Boma - Flavors of Africa. This restaurant resembles a lively African marketplace and features bountiful buffets at both breakfast and dinner. On non park days we tend to enjoy getting up a bit later and enjoying a later and larger breakfast. We decided on a recent trip to dine at Boma once again and wanted to share the unique offerings of this establishment. Read on for some more details and pics…
For many years Disney’s Animal Kingdom had been known as just a partial day park. Even so it had grown on us over the years with the exotic theming and the ability to explore nature trails had become a very relaxing and enjoyable experience for us. Recently there have been some newer additions to the park to include some offerings that have even extended the park hours longer than before. On our recent trip to the world we were excited to check out some of these newer offerings and for the first time stay in Animal Kingdom later than a 5pm close time. We decided to book a dining package to experience the River of Lights night show for the first time. Read on for a review of our meal and the show…
Every year as part of the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays, the American Gardens Theater hosts the traditional Candlelight Processional. On select nights, this hour long performance includes the telling of the Christmas story by a celebrity narrator, a 50 piece orchestra, and a full choir. This is a free event for anyone with park entrance, however the standby lines can get crazy long. This year we decided to book the Candlelight Processional Dining Package to avoid lines and get reserved seating to the show. Keep on reading for a review of our experience and our thoughts on if the package purchase was a good value.
On our recent visit to Walt Disney World we were extended a gracious invitation to dine at Wine Bar George, the only Master Sommelier-led wine bar in Florida, which happens to be located in Disney Springs. This new-ish dining location opened earlier this spring and we were very excited to finally go check it out. We stopped by for a late Sunday afternoon lunch to try some drinks, share some plates, and decide if this is a must visit location for foodie Disney loving adults.
After all the years visiting Walt Disney World, we had actually never made it to Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival. Recently some work travel popped up for Andrew in Orlando, and we decided to plan a quick weekend trip. After a late night at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party we woke up on Saturday to head over and check out the festival. It was an unusually hot day, but beautiful and sunny. We weren’t sure what to expect but made sure to show up hungry. Read on for a recap of our day, plenty of foodie pics, and five main lessons learned...
When traveling to Disney’s Vero Beach Resort last month, we decided to spend a few hours at Disney Springs to do some shopping and dining. We had heard a lot of buzz about a newer restaurant The Edison. We were excited to book a reservation here and grab lunch. Read on to hear more about this spot and a review of our dining experience.
On our last trip to the World we decided to explore more of the resorts and do some activities outside of the parks. We love the hotels close to the Magic Kingdom and how the Monorail connects them all. Because really who doesn't love riding the monorail? We decided it would be fun to bar hop and sample something from each spot. So we planned a night of circling the Seven Seas Lagoon by monorail and picked a spot at each resort to grab a drink and a bite. The rules were to order a drink and a food item at every stop...
It’s time once again for one of our favorite Foodie events of the year: SeaWorld’s Seven Seas Food Festival! This event is a foodie paradise that features over 190 flavors inspired from around the world, plus other entertainment and fun to round out your visit. We had the opportunity to attend a media preview event for this year’s festival, and we’re excited to share everything you need to know! Read on for all the info and our food picks of what we would recommend to try…
