Minty Minnie Mouse Ears Are Fresh and Cool For Spring

Ever since the Disney Parks began their color trend Minnie Ears, I’ve been wishing for mint colored ones! It looks like my wish has finally been granted, because new Minty Minnie Mouse Ears have made their debut! These cute ears are in one of my favorite color trends, and even have a splash of rosy pink for contrast.

These minty fresh new ears are showered in tons of lustrous micro sequins, for a ultimate sparkle! The bow is a gathered flat ribbon bow with glitter of all sized packed on, so it stands out with the shiny ears. inside the band is lined with a soft pink velvet, which is not just cute, but keeps them comfy too!

We got to take a sneak peek at these, and other upcoming Minnie Ears earlier this year, and have been eagerly awaiting their debut ever since. We’ve already seen the “it’s a small world” ears, Castle Ears, and Flower Ears, next we hope to see the Lollipop Minnie Ears! You can find the new Minty Minnie Mouse Ears throughout both Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts now.

What kind of Minnie Mouse Ears do you hope we see next?

Traditional English Meat Pie Is New At Yorkshire County Fish Shop

Something new and delicious is coming to the United Kingdom Pavilion in EPCOT.  The Yorkshire County Fish Shop, known famously for it’s Fish & Chips basket will add a new traditional option to their menu.

Starting March 6th, you’ll be able to try a traditional English Meat Pie.  This hand pie is made with pie crust dough that’s filled with chicken, mushroom, bacon, leeks, thyme, and nutmeg.  All of those fillings are mixed with a creamy gravy and the crust is crispy and golden, all served with a side of “chips”.

This is definitely a great addition for meat-lovers, as well as a new option for those that love the traditional flavors served-up here daily.  For the most authentic experience, be sure to pair your meat pie with a pint of Bass Ale or Harp Lager.

I’m looking forward to trying this one on my next trip ‘around the world’.

Celebrate St. Paddy’s Day All Month at Disney Springs and Downtown Disney

 

Celebrate St. Paddy's Day All Month at Disney Springs and Downtown Disney

March has arrived and spring is around the corner! Soon we will all be wearing, eating, and drinking all things green as we hope for the luck o’ the Irish. St. Patrick’s day is just around the corner! This year you can celebrate St. Paddy’s Day All Month at Disney Springs and Downtown Disney. Both The Edison at Disney Springs and Uva Bar and Cafe at Downtown Disney are celebrating the day all month with special menu offerings.

In Florida, head over to The Edison for a “The Luck of the Irish Burger”. This burger is a big bite with a beef patty made from the restaurant’s special blend of sirloin, short rib, and brisket ground beef. The burger is accompanied on the bun with corned beef, coleslaw, crispy potatoes and a slather of whole grain mustard. The Edison’s March drink special is the perfect accompaniment to the burger. The beverage, dubbed “Paddy’s Coffee” is black coffee that is spiked with Bushmill Black Bush Irish Whiskey, St. George Nola Coffee Liqueur, and for a touch of sweetness Agave. The drink is then chilled over ice and strained into a glass. “Paddy’s Coffee” is then served with Peruvian coffee beans that have been smothered in dark chocolate.

On the west coast, Uva’s Bar and Cafe is offering the “Irish Pub Burger”. This burger is made of certified Angus Beef, with sliced corned beef, Swiss cheese, braised cabbage, pickles, and then drizzled with Russian dressing. All of this yumminess falls in between the two halves of a potato bun. House-made potato chips are served with the burger and the whole meal pairs nicely with a Guinness.

So whether you find yourself on the east or west coast this March stop by The Edison, or Uva Bar and Cafe and enjoy St. Paddy’s day all month long with some awesome burgers.
