Fun at the Boo Bash

We had a blast at last night's Boo Bash, but now I'm exhausted. We did a lot of trick or treating, rode a few rides, and enjoyed the free popcorn, sodas, and water. It's amazing how much you can cram into three hours! 

Photo of the Week

I can't believe it has been a year since I was at Disney World for the Grand Opening Celebration of Rise of the Resistance. It was amazing!

EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Coins

The new collectible coins from EPCOT are pretty cool. I have a set from the Flower and Garden Festival earlier this year and a new set of four coins was released for the Food and Wine Festival. There are four coins in the set: Chef Figment, Chef Mickey, Chef Remy, and Chef Minnie.

All 4 have the EPCOT  International Food and Wine Festival logo and the year on the back. The coins are either $5 a piece, or $10 for 3 and the machine takes $1, $5, $10 Bill's or a credit card. While it would be cool if they offered the full set for a reduced price, I just chose 3 each time. The coin machine can be found inside Port of Entry.

Remy Is Everywhere At This Year's EPCOT Food and Wine Festival

Remy is everywhere at the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival. Our favorite little chef who proved that anyone can cook is the perfect mascot for a festival filled with treats and eats from around the world.

As soon as you enter the park, you'll find Remy on the Festival Passport. This guide to all of the foods and beverages available at the various booths has everything you need to help you keep track of your dining choices. An adorable Remy gift card is also available. The card, which hangs from the wrist, makes paying for all of those delightful dishes exceptionally easy.

For a little more adventure, pick up a map and stickers to play Remy's Ratatouille Hide and Squeak. The map is available at several locations for $6.99. Circles on the map tell you which locations have a hidden Remy, but this year, there's a catch.

In the past, Remy was always out in the open, but this year, he's inside retail locations where he can be protected from the weather. When you're searching for Remy, just remember to look up. He always likes to hide where he can't be reached.

Each Remy is holding an ingredient needed to make Ratatouille: peppers, onions, olive oil, eggplant, salt and pepper, etcetera. Place the matching sticker on your map and look for the next location. When you've found every Remy, take your map to Port of Entry to choose your prize. A cast member will stamp the back to show that you've completed the map.

This year's prize is a travel cup. There are four different designs to choose from: Remy, Figment, Mickey, and Minnie. Of course, I chose Remy.

Each cup also has the "Taste your way around the world" logo. The cups are a fun and useful souvenir of your visit to the Food and Wine Festival. 

Finally, if you want even more Remy, how about an adorable spoon straw. The plastic spoon looks wooden and has Remy in his chef's hat hanging on as if stirring. I found this Remy at Sunshine Seasons. So cute!
