Where to find it: Coral Reef Restaurant in Epcot

What is it? A phyllo pastry with mashed potatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, squash, carrots, and red peppers. It is accompanied by a tomato compote with basil oil.

Why you want it: This is a new addition to the menu at Coral Reef and a welcome one in my option. Our server said it had been getting great reviews and it gets another one from me. I wasn’t a fan of the tomato compote but overall the flavors worked well together and it is one of my new favorite vegetarian options at Disney.

Ex-Disney Star Shelby Cobra Receives DUI Sentencing

Last month, 18-year-old Shelby Cobra from past Disney girl group KSM was arrested for suspicion of a DUI. She registered a blood alcohol level of .15, which is almost twice the legal limit of .08. (But because she is a minor, her legal limit is .00.)

Cobra was sentenced Thursday to enroll with the LA County Hospital and Morgue program. The program requires participants to visit morgues and possibly witness autopsies. Cobra is also required to complete a three month alcohol education program and attend 16 AA meetings. In addition to those punishments, Cobra must pay $1,738 in fines.

Disney has released a new trailer for the upcoming second season of Disney XD’s ‘Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes’. The second season will see The Avengers and their search for the remaining members of Masters of Evil, and fighting to protect the world from takeover. If you’ve never seen it, I highly recommend the show. It’s one of the best comic book adaptions I’ve seen in a long time, and is one of the best shows on Disney XD. Hit the jump for the trailer.

Epcot‘s “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth” delights revelers with a salute to the new year at 7 p.m. and 11:42 p.m.

At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the 25-minute spectacular “Fantasmic!” that combines water, fire, lights, lasers, fireworks and music will be presented at 6:30 and 8 p.m., with the popular “Lights! Camera! Happy New Year!” fireworks display at midnight.

At Cirque du Soleil, all guests attending the Dec. 31 performances will receive a limited-edition Walt Disney World/Cirque trading pin. Shows are at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. For pricing contact 407/WDW/SEAT.

Festival of Masters Welcomes Artist Graham Knuttel

The works of Irish artist Graham Knuttel have found homes among Hollywood royalty like Sylvester Stallone, Whoopie Goldberg and Robert DeNiro. On Nov. 11, 2011, one of the renowned artist’s works will find a home at Walt Disney World Resort.

His latest commission — a painting for Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant at Downtown Disney — will be unveiled during the opening day of Festival of the Masters, one of the Southeast’s most highly regarded juried art festivals since 1975. While the painting will be on permanent display at the pub, Knuttel will exhibit a collection of many new pieces at the Nov. 11-13 festival and will appear at Raglan Road “Meet the Artist” events Nov. 12 at 2 and 3:30 p.m.

Known for his bold, bright canvases of stylized figures, Knuttel’s Raglan Road painting is based on a poem, “On Raglan Road,” written in 1946 by lovesick poet Patrick Kavanagh and recorded in song by Ireland’s greatest folk musician, Luke Kelly. The pub scene in the painting pops with more than two dozen unconventional Knuttel figures that include Kavanagh, Kelly, Irish rockers Bono and The Edge and writers James Joyce and Brendan Behan. Looking closely, admirers may discover a photo of a child wearing mouse ears.

Nearly 150 award-winning artists who create paintings, jewelry, sculptures, photographs and more will show off their works at the festival. There’s also live entertainment and family-friendly activities each day. Hours are 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Sunday. Admission and parking are complimentary. More information: disneyworld.com/artfestival.
