    I like the way Jay gets the names of the foods wrong often & knows it!😂 Sam's always there to correct him...what a great team! Makes it fun to watch.

    The cultural Santa's are fitting for Epcot a personal favorite 🎅. Spaceship earth show in the gingerbread &1300 tiles is awesome🍪. the donut looks interesting. Holy that noel log🥰

      @ThemeParkFoodies  Месяц назад +1

      The Santas are what make this our favorite Festival. That log was the best thing we ate here. Definitely need to go back for that. That Spaceship Earth display was needed for that space and was a great edition 🙂

    ❤ Sam... "you lost me at red beans" lol. Agreed!! I so hope someday we are able to make this festival. Croquettes looked great. Jay...you pronounce food items however you want to! The ham thing in France just looks bad. Sorry. You were very nice. Joffrey's pre-2022 was the best. No long lines... it was a "secret" lol. Going standard drinks worked better for us last trip...that and skyliner to Riviera lol. $10 for a cookie is a hard no! Once again....love the video. thank you for taking us along.

    • @ThemeParkFoodies
      @ThemeParkFoodies  Месяц назад +1

      This is our favorite Festival. Hope you can make it here one day 🙂. The ham thing in France did taste better than it looked but not by much 😕. Agree with that Joeffrey's sentiment. It's been going down hill since about 2022. Although they're still great at Disneyland. Riviera coffee trips sound like a dream. So happy you enjoyed the video. Your support really means a lot to us ❤️. Hope you're having the best Holiday Season.

    Really appreciate the effort it must have took to get this edited and out so quickly. We are coming to the festival after Christmas and have been excited to see the new food. We will look forward to your top 10 to guide us further.

      @ThemeParkFoodies  2 месяца назад +3

      We appreciate that! We try to get the festival videos out as soon as we can, while still trying to keep the integrity of the video. We hope you enjoy your trip- there are definitely better items than the ones we tried on opening day!

    My family and I will be down there next Christmas 2025 and I am so excited for these holiday eats! We did Food and Wine in 2023 and loved trying all of those foods. Now learning that there is a Holiday version, I'm so excited! Especially trying those Reuben Croquettes. Hopefully they will come back for next year.

      @ThemeParkFoodies  2 месяца назад +2

      I've had to throw out way too many Joffrey's :( The mocha cookie was fabulous though! The Gingerbread Spaceship Earth is really neat, but Communicore Hall still manages to look pretty dull.

    Love the Festival of the Holidays! The gingerbread Spaceship Earth is cute but they could still do more in that space. The grove of trees or whatever it's called looks a bit underwhelming - it's just trees set up off on the side? I adore all the storytellers, especially La Befana. I'm looking forward to your top ten. Definitely going to try those croquettes.

    • @ThemeParkFoodies
      @ThemeParkFoodies  2 месяца назад +2

      Communicore Hall continues to be underwhelming. The tree "grove" is so basic, local theme parks do a better job lol The storytellers continue to be the starts of the festival! Hope you have a great time :)

    • @ThemeParkFoodies
      @ThemeParkFoodies  2 месяца назад +1

      Joffrey's has a cult following and sometimes I worry people are going to get mad at me for being negative about them, but for me to throw out a coffee- it's BAD! I love coffee.

    Thank you for your video! I'm going on the week of the 8th and interested in what's going on with Festival of Holidays while I'm there. Have you gone to the Candlelight processional and if so did you do the reserved dining plan for seating? 😊😊

    • @ThemeParkFoodies
      @ThemeParkFoodies  2 месяца назад +3

      Of course! Thank you for watching 🙂. Hope you have the best time. Unfortunately, we haven't done the dining package but we have done the Candlelight Processional. We've done the dining Package for other Festivals though and I'd imagine itd be structured the same way. In our opinion, the package is worth it if you're not dining at the booths. You still have to get there a little early for a decent reserved seat. If you don't have the dining package it's smart to line up an hour in advance or more depending on who the speaker is. Hope that helped somewhat!

    I have tried so hard to love jofferys but the iced drinks always taste like celery to me. Has anyone else had a celery weird cold brew? Just me?

    • @ThemeParkFoodies
      @ThemeParkFoodies  2 месяца назад

      😆 that's hilarious! Not celery but we've had inconsistent experiences. Most recently their lattes tasted watered down to us. Years ago we enjoyed them but recently they haven't been great 😕. I will say, their coffee does have a different flavor than most.
