Masquerade At The Edison @ Walt Disney World

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Dining, Uncategorized

When some people think of Walt Disney World, often they will assume that it is just for families with children. They incorrectly decide that there is nothing for the 21 and up crowd, especially since Downtown Disney’s Pleasure Island has been gone for years. While Walt Disney World is one of the top family vacation destinations in the country, there are still ways to enjoy “adult time”. One place to do that is The Edison at Disney Springs.

During the day and early in the evenings, The Edison is a family friendly restaurant. Later into the evening, it has more of a nightclub vibe. Sometimes, special events will be held in the evenings.

February 22nd marked the first annual Masquerade in which you had to be 21 years of age or older to attend.

The cost is $65. The price includes Blackened Shrimp Cocktail, Buffalo Chicken Springrolls, BBQ Shortrib, Oyster Shooters, Cucumber Canape, Scallops Wrapped in Bacon, Buffalo Meatballs, and Portobello Fries for hors d’oeuvres. The following cocktails are also included; Butterfly Effect, Cuban Carnival, The Masked Mule, Marg Me!, and Sip in Moderation.

There is also extra entertainment as part of Masquerade. There are stilt walkers, acrobats, musicians, and more. The Edison is known for its unusual entertainment, and this fit right into the theme of the night.

In order to attend Masquerade, guests were asked to wear a mask.

Masquerade started at 8:30pm, and ran until 2:00am.

Eats at The Epcot Experience Menu Now Available

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Dining, Disney Parks, Epcot

Eats at the EPCOT Experience is an expansion of the existing snack stand at the preview center attraction, serving salads, flatbreads, and more. Seating was recently expanded throughout the former photo op area of the EPCOT Experience, so guests can pick up their eats and enjoy them in the comfort of the indoor pavilion.

Signage is now out throughout EPCOT and near The Odyssey, with menus posted for guests to preview before the counter service opens at 11:00 AM.

Among the options are cheese and pepperoni flatbreads, a turkey sandwich option, a chopped salad with chicken, and of course, the coveted chicken breast nuggets. Kids options are available for the flatbreads and nuggets. Chips and fries are available as sides, plus a number of desserts like a cookie crunch brownie, Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars, and more. If these items sound familiar, it’s because they’re versions of popular items from the Electric Umbrella, which is scheduled to close soon for a massive remodeling.

Craft beers and soft drinks are also available.

Chef Arnaud Lallement of Disney Cruise Line’s “Remy” Named Top 10 Chef

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Dining

Exclusive to Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, is the adults-only restaurant, Remy. Inspired by the hit Disney-Pixar movie, “Ratatouille,” the French restaurant features stubble nods to the star, Remy. While Chef Remy from the film is simply adorable, we also have to applaud the real-life chef that brings it all together as his menu creations have just landed him on the list of the 10 best chefs in the world!

Chef Arnaud Lallement was recently named one of the world’s best chefs based upon the values of the cooking profession and the exceptional cuisine featured in their restaurants. The list was complied by “Le Chef” and the top 10 chefs were all voted on by two and three-star Michelin chefs. In addition to Remy, Chef Arnaud is also known for his Michelin three-star restaurant, L’Assiette Champenoise, just outside Reims, France. 

Did you know that Chef Arnaud collaborates with Chef Scott Hunnel from Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian to bring Disney Cruise Line’s Remy to life? The two award-winning chefs work together to offer a menu that features superior products and seasonal ingredients sourced from around the world.

Guests who dine at Disney Cruise Line’s Remy are treated to gourmet cuisine and a unique approach to wine service. Guests are invited to meet with a sommelier to taste and pre-select their wines for the evening to give diners an experience that melds classic and contemporary styles into a sophisticated new dining concept. Those who have dined at Remys know that it is a lavish and leisurely affair. The experience starts with a signature chilled Taittinger Champagne cocktail made tableside, followed by eight to nine small courses. The restaurant offers two stellar wine lists: a special French list, with 200 vintages from most every region in France, and Remy’s Vault, a separate and exclusive wine list with rare wines from all over the world.
