Japan construction walls are up for a NEW restaurant!

Japan construction walls are up for a NEW restaurant! While in Epcot this week we are checking out what is going on. From tasty seasonal treats and delicious fall flavors to construction on a variety of attractions, excitement is in the air. Construction is moving forward, let’s take a look at Japan…

As promised, a new Japan dining location… THE WALLS ARE UP on the building that is the current home to TEPPAN EDO and TOKYO DINING heading towards the Morocco Pavilion. Not all the details are known yet, including the name, style or exact opening date. What we can tell you is the restaurant will be run by the Mitsukoshi Company, who runs the other resultants in the Japan Pavilion.

Here is a live look at the progress, recorded by Whitney a fellow writer.

Enjoy the Japanese dishes at Teppan Edo or Tokyo Dining while watching the progress of construction.

Epcot’s Teppan Edo restaurant is Hibachi dining at its best.  Family-style seating around a large grill with a personal chef that puts on a dazzling show all the while creating a custom meal is not to be missed. If you have a group this is a destination for every age. Teppan Edo’s menu allows diners to make healthy choices and not feel weighed down after. Fresh and delicious offerings abound. Here are some of your options:

The menu includes tempura, meats, chicken steak, seafood, veggies, and grilled dishes as well as Japanese soups and udon noodles. Kids will find fun items served in Monorail dishes! Enjoy a green tea or ginger flavored dessert for something sweet. Adults, don’t forget to try sake or a sake cocktail.

Churro Bites Cereal Sundae at Hungry Bear Restaurant

Churro Bites Cereal Sundae at Hungry Bear Restaurant. The Churro Bites Cereal Sundae can be found at Critter Country’s Hungry Bear Restaurant as part of the special Halloween Time menu.  Situated next to Disneyland’s Rivers of America, the Hungry Bear Resturant is known for its quick service comfortable atmosphere and menu that will satisfy the biggest of appetites.

Churro Bites Cereal Sundae at Hungry Bear Restaurant

Known for its funnel cakes, it only makes sense that Hungry Bear Resturant would feature the Churro Bites Cereal Sundae during the Halloween festivities currently taking place at the Disneyland Resort.  If you remember, and liked, the Kevin Churro during Pixar Fest, then the Churro Bites Cereal Sundae is sure to be a quick favorite.  The churro bites of this fun sundae have a dusting of crushed fruity pebbles in lieu of the traditional cinnamon sugar.  A perfect complement to the crushed cereal coating on the churro bites is the cereal milk anglaise, a French-style custard sauce, that is drizzled over the churro bites.   Adding to the simple deliciousness of the desert is the large scoop of strawberry ice cream that’s topped with a raspberry sauce and even more fruity pebbles, and no sundae would be completed without a fresh banana and this dessert doesn’t disappoint.

Churro Bites Cereal Sundae at Hungry Bear Restaurant

To simplify your life and maximize your time at the parks don’t forget that the Hungry Bear Restaurant offers mobile ordering (and AP discounts can be applied), which has quickly become a time-saving tool for my family at the parks.  So, open your Disneyland app, give it a try and order the Churro Bites Cereal Sundae and spend the extra time sitting by the River of America’s edge waving at the Mark Twain as it sails by.

The Edison Announces its October Burger of the Month

Edison

The trend-setting Edison restaurant at Disney Springs has announced its October Burger of the Month–the Triple Threat Burger.

But we see this burger as more decadent than threatening. It’s a ground pork burger served on a pretzel roll with a side of fries, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts–sliced BBQ pork and crunchy bacon. The burger is then garnished with caramelized apples. What could be better?

How about this–try pairing it with a seasonal ale, the Hallo Hooch, offered exclusively at The Edison. It’s a autumnal blend of Domaine de Canton, Cinnamon Cordial, Redemption Rye and Bailey’s Pumpkin Spice, shaken over ice and finished with ground cinnamon.

Before ordering the October burger, order one of The Edison’s amazing appetizers, like the Clothesline Candied Bacon, Fried Calamari or Electri-Fries.

The Edison is one of the newest restaurants to open at Disney Springs. It’s the perfect place for huge, hand-crafted burgers and some of the best nighttime entertainment in the area. The Edison boasts a live DJ and dance floor, an aerial contortionist, tap dancers, Burlesque dancers and more.
