Hey Ear Scouts! My name is Jacoby! I was the guy that stopped at talked with you outside of Guardians a couple of days ago at Epcot! Thanks again so much for your videos! You helped us have a magical 1st time, Disney World experience! Thanks so much for your content!
No culinary training, but I sure do love food. 😂 My day job is actually at a company that makes very fancy cookware. I used to be in the marketing department and we worked with a lot of celebrity chefs and hosted cooking classes with them. I definitely picked up some stuff from doing that and going to different festivals and such. Thanks for the sweet comment. 😊
Thank you for the artful descriptions! I can almost taste the festival food and drinks. It's always fun to watch all your exciting Disney adventures! Keep it up!
Thanks for another great video. They did have the stencils last year for the kids chalk but I don’t think they had as many as it looks like they have this year.
We just got back from our trip. All your Genie+ tips helped immensely! Thanks you so much for your clear and thorough explanations! I saw you at Hollywood Studios…wanted to thank you in person, but you were with family and didn’t want to bother you, but thank you for helping me make this trip the best Disney World trip my family has ever had!!! Genie+ glitched a bunch on our Epcot day, but I knew what to do to get us through every experience.
I’m sorry we missed you, but glad to hear you had a successful trip (even with a few Genie Gremlins). Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to let us know how your trip went - we really appreciate it! 😃
Thanks for the wonderful video. We watched it with the whole family and all agreed that our new goal was to make it all of the festivals at Epcot, starting with this one! The whole festival looks so fun and great along with the food!
Hi Joel! There’s so much to do - it takes us 4-5 solid days to get it all done for each festival. Glad to hear you had a great time and thanks for watching! 😃
Rob it was great meeting you and Eric several times during my time in Florida. I’m back home now. I forgot to tell you about my Segway tour at Fort Wilderness Campground. Lots of fun going off road and the guide gives you tons of Disney facts over your receiver while you ride.
You just missed the abnormally warm weekend. We went swimming at Blizzard Beach on Saturday and it was PACKED. Now it’s back to sweater weather for a little bit longer. Stinks that it’s chilly for your visit to escape the cold, but it sure is nice to have a break from the heat for those of us who live here in Orlando. 😅 Hope you have a great time at the festival!
We enjoyed time in Epcot and also used some of your tips for park hopping which helped to get additional visits in parks as per our schedule. Thanks for Capturing us (Belagali Family) keep up the good work and tips/tricks to visitors 😊
Hello! It was lovely meeting you! Thanks so much for saying hello. I’m glad to hear the trip went well. Thanks for making our channel part of your Disney vacation. 😃
Hey Ear Scouts, just gotta say your food reviews are the real MVP of the RUclips scene! 🌟 Unlike those other phony, nameless Disney reviewers who are just an arm and a hand posing with food, you bring the Magic Kingdom vibes to life. Your reviews are like a thrilling ride on Space Mountain - always full of surprises and never a dull moment. It's like you've got the culinary insights of Remy from Ratatouille combined with the storytelling magic of Haunted Mansion. Let's be real, you're not just taking us on a culinary journey, you're giving us a VIP tour through EPCOT's flavors with the fun of a ride on Kali River Rapids- without the soaking wet aftermath, of course! 🎢 Your channel is the G.O.A.T., and we're all here grazing in the greatness of your content. 100K subscribers, Let's GO! Keep flying higher than Soarin’, because with content like yours, the sky's the limit. 🚀🎉 #EarScoutsToInfinityAndBeyond
Wow! This comment was like Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride - there was a fun and surprising analogy at every turn. But in the end, it was more like Expedition Everest - it made me excited about the sky high adventures ahead. And much like Everest is my favorite ride at Walt Disney World, this was my favorite comment to read. I even performed it for Erick as a dramatic monologue and he quite enjoyed it, as well. 😆 Thanks for bringing a smile to both of our faces. 😊
Rob, another great video. Also, thanks for all of your previous tips. We used many, and things worked out just fine. Well, except for being unable to get a virtual queue for Guardians. But I quickly took care of that with a LL purchase. And wow, am I glad we did. That is one amazing ride.
That’s a bummer about the VQ. Did you try again at the 1pm drop? Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to let us know how your trip went - we really appreciate it!
@@EarScouts Yep, didn't get in the 1 pm either. But, the ride was well worth the price of admission. I'm just glad I had a death grip on my hat. I just knew that when they started talikng about the big bang, we were in for an adventure. LOL
I wish I could sneak Rob with us on our once in a life time holiday to D at the end of March early April 😂😂. If you see a mad woman from the UK running up and giving you a squeeze, it will be me😂😂😂 Your fun and informative videos put a smile on my face, never fail
Loved the video! Super thorough and it felt like we were right there enjoying it with you! For next time, would you be able to show the food on-screen a little bit longer? It doesn’t need to be the full time, just a few seconds longer to follow the visuals while you describe the dish. Thanks. 😊
It looks like we were there at the same time! Bummer that we didn't get to run into you, my girlfriend and I would have loved to be able to say hi. We spent many an evening watching your videos before the trip, and sort of joked about running into you two. Little did we know how close we were haha. Thanks for all of the content, maybe next time! =]
This was surprisingly fun! And you seem to feel the same way I do about sugar not being a substitute for flavour, so I find it easier to take your word on other dishes too. (And I liked the sound of that bone marrow sandwich when you showed the menu, well before you reviewed it; with the added bonus that bone marrow is actually very good for you). And that drinking chocolate float does sound totally delish. I can't work out why they do so many frozen drinks in the middle of winter 🤔 I'm a little bummed you didn't try any of the drinks at the French booth - I thought the first Martini sounded interesting. And that saxophonist 😍❤😍 I'd have been tempted to stay to listen to him all day Am wondering though, what time you started and how long this walk around took you? (Also, do these booths have a specific start time?)
Off topic sorry. But I have a question about Genie +. I just want to be clear I understand this. If I Book a ride at 7 AM, park opens at 9 AM and my ride is scheduled for 9:30 AM. then as soon as I swipe into the ride with GP I can immediately book another ride even though two hours after opening hasn’t occurred? Also in this scenario if my first ride is 1115, then two hours after park opening, which would be 11 AM, I can book a second ride, but then at 11:15 when I swipe into my first ride can I then book another (third) ride? 😊
We definitely missed some of our favorites like the hot chocolate flight, but we were surprised by how much we liked a lot of the items that remained - several were better than last year when we had them. There were definitely some duds and a few times where I think we just ordered at the wrong time and got a bad batch like with the risotto. Were there any items in particular you were really disappointed with? We actually got the grilled cheeses at POP again last night and the vegetarian one was embarrassingly bad. Burnt black and left under a heat lamp until the bread was hard. But when we had it before as we made the video, it was delicious. 🤷♂️
@@EarScouts Dang! As they say…the only thing consistent about food at Disney is how inconsistent it is. 😂 We didn’t like the cold salmon dish actually! I guess taste is all subjective though. Haha
Hello! I really enjoyed the video reviews this year. Just wanted to check if the festival accepts DDP? I booked a trip to Disney in August with the Disney Dining Plan, and I would love to use my snack credits at the Epcot Festival. Thank you for your videos; I really enjoy them.
Most of the items are eligible for the dining plan. When we show the menu boards in the video, just look for that little Disney dining plan icon next to the food items. Hope you have a great trip and thanks for watching! 😃
I love it so much. I got it at Disneyland Paris and I haven’t seen it anywhere here in the states. Thanks for watching - so glad you’re digging the content (and the wardrobe choices 😂)!
Man! That was a fast 50 minutes! "It's over already??" We just bought our Trevor Carlton photobooth Mickey/Minnie signed LE print online a few weeks ago. If we had the room (and the money), we'd cover the walls in Disney art. They're all so much fun to look at...and here I sit, can't draw a straight line with a ruler.
We have a ton of them. We usually hand them out to folks we meet in the parks. I’ll try to remember to ask next time I’m at the post office if there is an economical way to mail them. I’m guessing a regular stamp wouldn’t cut it. If you’ll be in the parks anytime soon, we’d be happy to give you one!
OH NO! I was just about to ask if Scooter will be back next year just as you were saying in the video that this art won't be available after this festival! His work is really cool.
He is hoping to be invited back, but this particular collection is exclusive to the festival. We definitely hope he is back next year, too! Thanks for watching! 😃
Accidentally we'll be at Epcot during this years festival of the arts and i'm not even sure what that means (we're from brazil!) so i'm here to learn, but to be honest im very worried about crowds and not being able to ride everything because of the festival surplus

Rob, do you or Erick have chef or culinary training? You evaluate food like a Food Network judge!
No culinary training, but I sure do love food. 😂 My day job is actually at a company that makes very fancy cookware. I used to be in the marketing department and we worked with a lot of celebrity chefs and hosted cooking classes with them. I definitely picked up some stuff from doing that and going to different festivals and such. Thanks for the sweet comment. 😊
Looks like some amazing food at an amazing festival. I always love your enthusiasm for all things Disney and your awesome ears.
Thanks so much! ☺️
Me watching last year's review anxiously waiting for your 2025 review.
Thank you for doing these indepth videos
Thank YOU for watching them, Aaron. We really appreciate it. 😃
Thank you for the artful descriptions! I can almost taste the festival food and drinks. It's always fun to watch all your exciting Disney adventures! Keep it up!
Aww - thanks so much! 😊 We love going on adventures with all of you, so thanks for supporting our channel!
Thanks for another great video. They did have the stencils last year for the kids chalk but I don’t think they had as many as it looks like they have this year.
I hope to make it to this festival someday, but for now, your video has filled the void. Thank you as always!
Hi Giovanni! It’s a fun one - I hope you’re able to visit when it’s going on at some point. Thanks for watching! 😀

Aww - thanks so much for getting one of our shirts. I hope we see you in the parks. 😃
It was great to meet you today!
Thanks so much for saying hello! 😃
SO excited, I'm gonna be there tomorrow. Leaving the snow and cold in NH to join the cold Florida hahahaha. Great video my Ear's.

Took a couple days to get through, but loved it! Thanks again for the great content!
So excited to experience all of this next week!
Thanks Rob & Eric

Thank YOU for watching! 😀
What do you use to film?
Seeing you upload made my day!

We thought a lot of the food was a miss this year, especially with so many missing items from last year. Hopefully they bring some back next year!

Have a question, is the festival a different ticket or is it open for everyone who's in the park that day?
Yea!!!!
