Cheery Eats and Treats Coming to the 2019 Epcot Festival of the Holidays

Festival of the Holidays cookies

The 2019 Epcot Festival of the Holidays is fast approaching and we know what’s on your mind: what do I get to eat? Prepare to be dazzled by returning favorites and new creations this year as we show you a sneak peek of this year’s Festival food fresh from a live preview at Epcot!

Cheery Eats and Treats Coming to the 2019 Epcot Festival of the Holidays

The thirsty park-goer will have lots of options, starting with ”Hanukkah Pass the Beer” from L’Chaim! Holiday Kitchen, house-made mulled wine at the Bavaria Holiday Kitchen, and several varieties of Icewine from Yukon Holiday Kitchen.

Cheery Eats and Treats Coming to the 2019 Epcot Festival of the Holidays

Of course lots of booths will be serving Christmas classics, such as eggnog, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. And if you’re tea-totaling this season, another festive option will be the Chocolate Peppermint Shake, available with or without Whipped Cream Vodka. This frozen treat will be at the Holiday Sweets and Treats booth.

Cheery Eats and Treats Coming to the 2019 Epcot Festival of the Holidays

Once you’ve satisfied your thirst, fill your belly with savory options such as Canadian Wild Rice and Ham Soup with a Pretzel Roll. This was a personal favorite from the preview, a warm and filling choice with a surprising crunch from the slivered almonds on top. Be sure and dip that pretzel roll in the soup or use it to clean the bowl; they compliment each other perfectly. This dish will be at the Yukon Holiday Kitchen.

Cheery Eats and Treats Coming to the 2019 Epcot Festival of the Holidays

Another favorite will be the Smoked Salmon Potato Latke from L’Chaim! Holiday Kitchen. A refreshing departure from turkey-centered holiday foods, this salmon married well with the fresh sour cream on top and the warm potato on the bottom. For younger or pickier palates, plain potato latkes are also an option.

Cheery Eats and Treats Coming to the 2019 Epcot Festival of the Holidays

No Christmas trip around the World Showcase could be complete without a stop at the Bavaria Holiday Kitchen, which will be serving a Pork Schnitzel with Mushroom Sauce and Spaetzle. Spaetzle is always a fantastic choice, but combined with forest mushrooms and schnitzel, it becomes a comfort food.

Cheery Eats and Treats Coming to the 2019 Epcot Festival of the Holidays

It would be a mistake to talk about the food at the Festival of the Holidays without making mention of the main event: Christmas cookies. The Cookie Stroll is back this year with lots of holiday favorites to pick up around the World Showcase. There will be a Gingerbread cookie at American Holiday Table, a Linzer cookie at Bavaria Holiday Kitchen, a Chocolate Crinkle cookie at Feast of the Three Kings, a Black and White cookie at L’Chaim Holiday Kitchen, a Peppermint Pinwheel cookie at Yukon Holiday Kitchen, and of course the Santa Mickey Sugar Cookie, which is complimentary at Sweets and Treats Holiday Kitchen upon the final Cookie Stroll stamp in your Festival Passport. And if you end up doing the Cookie Stroll, you might be interested in the official cookie jar of the Festival of the Holidays; it’s got a couple of familiar chipmunks on top to guard your stash!

Whatever you end up eating and drinking while you celebrate the holidays, make sure some of it is at this year’s Festival of the Holidays at Epcot. There’s something magical about imagining Christmas around the world and taking part in traditions that others cherish as their own. Whether it’s a meal shared with family, or a simple cookie as you take in the Christmas decorations, delicious merriment will be waiting for you this season at Epcot.

Anna and Elsa Look Especially Royal in Their ‘Frozen II’ Inspired Dresses at Epcot

anna and elsa have new frozen II dresses

Princess Anna and Queen Elsa sure have been busy lately, especially with the release of their new movie! However, they always make time to meet their friends over at the Royal Sommerhus in the Norway Pavilion at Epcot. And they even decided to switch up their look.  Just like their movie has a more intense storyline, their outfits have definitely morphed into looks we have never seen before on these two iconic Disney women.

Anna’s dress consists of dark green, purple, and blue hues, all tied in perfectly with gold detailing along her shoulders and right below her neckline. This dress makes Anna look much more mature, as if the challenges they faced on this big journey has caused her to grow up. Her hair is also in a sophisticated crown braid, topped with a jeweled crown.

Elsa, on the other hand, has seemed to go bolder with her new outfit. She sports an elegant white gown complete with colorful crystals on the bodice. She skips the braid this time and goes for a simple, yet classy, half-updo.

We love the new looks, ladies! Make sure to check out your favorite Frozen friends the next time that you find yourself traveling around the world in Epcot!

New Movie Poster Gives Us a First Look at Mushu in Live-Action ‘Mulan’

New Movie Poster Gives Us a First Look at Mushu in Live-Action 'Mulan'

New Movie Poster Gives Us a First Look at Mushu in Live-Action ‘Mulan‘. Though marketing has been scarce for Mulan, high anticipation releases of several big name blockbusters such as Frozen II and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker are to blame for stealing the spotlight as of late, but soon we will get a closer look at the next live-action remake from Disney set to premiere in Spring 2020.

Internationally, efforts are being made to market Mulan in a better light after harsh backlash against the film and its leading lady for comments she made about the riots in Hong Kong in support of the Chinese Government. The surprising comment from Liu Yifei sparked outrage from moviegoers who have been spreading the hashtag #BoycottMulan to help raise awareness to the current political climate in China and boycott the film when it is released.

Part of those efforts to increase positive responses to the films debut was the release of an official movie poster for the film that features the newly imagined Mushu, who no longer takes on the form of a dragon, but now is featured as a phoenix in the film. It is currently unclear if ‘Mushu’ will be a speaking role in the film or will merely act as a symbol and guide for Mulan along her journey.

Original voice of Mulan from the 1999 Disney classic and Disney Legend, Ming-Na Wen, had shared her love for a new kind of Disney Princess that the animated feature first introduced, during a convention appearance and how she thoroughly enjoyed getting to portray a strong female character who thought outside the box to care for the people she loved.

“I really believe that Mulan was one of the first Disney princesses – I mean, she really wasn’t a Disney princess if you think about it. She was just a girl in a village and she became a woman warrior. Which is also the trend, I think, of Disney princesses at the time. They were more or less damsels in distress. And it was really wonderful to have a character that was able to not need a man to save her – in fact, she saved the guy – and came into her own discovery of what her self worth is and what she was capable of doing,” said Wen.

Though the poster shares April 17th as the films release date internationally, Mulan is set to premiere on March 27, 2020 in the United States. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co for all things Disney!

UK Photographer Has Disney Photoshoot With Special Needs Children

Uk photographer has photoshoot with special needs children

Isn’t it amazing when just the idea of Disney can propel someone to do something that truly makes a change in the world? Nicole Louise Perkins, a photographer from the UK, can answer that question for you. Perkins works full time at a school for special needs children and has a great love of photography and Disney.

Through working with these amazing children all the time, she wanted to show the world that their disabilities don’t define them- and she decided to show them through her own lens. Perkins had her first photo series in 2018 called “Down Right Beautiful” and it showcased many wonderful special needs children. Their parents also included advice about raising kids with disabilities. It was a huge success!

Because of how popular her first photo series was, Perkins decided to create another one in 2019 and include her love of Disney as well.

Perkins decided to call her new photo series “Down with Disney” and recreated looks from Peter Pan, Toy Story, Brave, Frozen, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Aladdin, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, Monsters Inc., The Jungle Book, and the Little Mermaid.

Perkins wanted to create a more fun photo series this time around instead of the more serious underlying tones of her 2018 collection.

And didn’t these just come out swimmingly? This photographer and lover of Disney (and these beautiful children) even hopes to continue her photo series next year!
