So this is the official place you go to before you embark on your International Food and Wine…read moreadventure. around the world. Formerly located at the old Wonders of Life Pavilion, and now will be in the Forest World of Epcot ( formally part of Future World). I recommend going to the Festival Center before the food booths open up at 11 AM, the festival center opens at 10 AM. At the center, you can pick up your passport, the ratatouille scavenger hunt, artwork, some cool merchandise, and those coveted 250 dollar VIP gift card laminates. Yelp! Tip- the gift card in those laminates fall out easily, and mine FLEW-OUT during Test Track. The Festival Center was extremely accommodating to helping me get a new one since I DID NOT have my original receipt. It took them about 15 minutes in the back, albeit the longest 15 minutes of my life, to find my original purchase in the Disney database. I also took the Mix It, Make It, and Celebrate It! class which I loved, an interactive class with the Chef were you make the food together. The Beverage Seminar with French Champagne was TOP NOTCH. My only complaint was the Food Demo class, as usually Disney ALWAYS gives you a glass of wine with your food, and they cheaped out this year by not doing that. However, guests do notice these little changes, and for the same price as last year, bring back the glass of wine with the class please since this is an International FOOD and WINE festival. Don't forget to check all the Ghirardelli chocolate sculptures, and to get your free piece of chocolate, and that word FREE doesn't come often at Disney!!

We stopped in here for mainly two things: ghiradelli liquid chocolate and commemorative merch. There was plenty of other things to see and do here though! Several informational videos were playing on loop with seating for viewers. There were regular talks and demos happening, most of which were complimentary, you just needed to wait in line. They also gave a small Cafe for food and drink refuel. The art shop was an especially cool shop. They have all the art for the festival in one place. Overall: A Great space to check out food and wine jazz ... Plus it has air conditioning! ;))

Of all the gifts shops on Disney Property (there are hundreds), this is one of my favourite. I'm…read moregiving it 5 stars not only because I love Aerosmith, but also because it's unique. There are two ways to get to this shop. Unfortunately, many people who do not actually ride the Rock 'n Roller Coaster do not even know this shop exists. When you get off the ride, you have no choice but to go through this shop to exit. You can't miss it. If you'd like to visit this shop without riding the coaster, simply go through the exit doors of the ride, go up the ramp, and you'll then be in the shop. This shop is so unique because the majority of the items sold in it do not scream Disney. Yes, they have some of the obligatory Disney items like trading pins, keychains, magnets, Goofy snacks, Chip and Dale snacks, and a few other odds and ends, but that's about it. This shop is mostly dedicated to Aerosmith, the coaster, and all things rock and roll! You'll find many items here sporting the Rock 'n Roller Coaster logo such as t-shirts, tank tops, shorts, shot glasses, caps (for men and women), drum sticks with various designs on them (they even have clear drumsticks that light up when you tap them), and many more items. There are also really cool rocker items that have no logos on them. When you get off the ride, I know your adrenaline will be pumping, but make sure you take a few minutes to check out the items here. You may be surprised at what you find. If you're not riding the coaster, make a point to stop in and check this shop out.

They are very realistic looking and it's kind of kitchsy but cool. I first came here over 10 years ago and they definitely update most of the figures. Taylor Swift is featured prominently in one of her costumes from the Eras tour and she was not there dressed like that the last time I visited. However, there are some that they do not. I have a picture of me and the Ryan Reynolds figure in the exact same jacket in the exact same spot 10 years apart. They have a DC comics area and that was probably my child's favorite part. They also have kung fu panda and Shrek and Fiona so those characters kept him entertained. The price to visit is a little steep however you can buy a combo ticket where you can visit numerous sites at icon park and that is definitely a better deal if you're planning on visiting multiple sites like the Orlando eye or sea life . We have Legoland annual passes and so a visit here is included with our Legoland annual pass. They are all a part of Merlin entertainment. A visit here last anywhere from 30 minutes to maybe a little over an hour. It definitely depends on how crowded it is and how much time you want to spend taking various pictures.

My husband and I attended Halloween Horror Nights for the first time. From the scare zones and…read moreentertainment, haunted houses, food, and drinks, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I am not big on "scary" things, but this was not terrifying at all. However, it was cool to see all the work and effort that goes into the setup of the houses and the actors. This was the 35th Anniversary of HHN, and you can tell they went all out. There were ten haunted houses and plenty of food stations throughout the park. I will say that we had an express pass, and this made our experience even better. If we did not have the express pass, I don't know if I could say our experience would have been the same. The wait times can be extremely long, but fortunately we were able to go through all the houses and ride all the rides, except Transformers, because they closed early. We didn't have a favorite house, but all of them offered something different. We did get most of the scares in each house, which was nice. However, the least favorite house was definitely Stranger Things. It was underwhelming and lackluster. We were really excited for this one, and it let us down. Our favorite foods were located in Gramercy Park at Jack's Surplus Food Booth and Oddfellow's Menagerie. The Carn "Evil" Smash tacos, Deathbringer Tempura Shrimp, and the Burnt Sando were 10/10. At the Club Horror Bar, the Caramel Apple Splash Punch was delicious. The Death by Cheesestick was our least favorite. We went on a Wednesday night and felt like it wasn't overly crowded. However, the express pass definitely added to our great experience. While it's expensive, it was good to be able to walk right up and enter the houses and get on the rides. We also found the food station lines not long at all. Overall, 10/10 experience for our first HHN! * Haunted Houses (10 total): * Stranger Things 5 * Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness * Evil Dead Burn * Hellraiser * Sinners * Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control * Cybergoria * H.R. Bloodengutz Presents: A Halloween Fright-Tacular! * MADLANDS: Caged Cannibals * INVASION: Alien Abduction

I lost my cup, and they were able to replace it for me. The team also helped me find the Club Juke food stand so I could try Chow's Southern BBQ egg rolls, which were delicious! Although the park was packed and the lines were long, we still managed to enjoy four houses, explore the scare zones, and try some fantastic food. Overall, it was a fun experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a spooky night out!

It has set times each day but I never plan on seeing it in my schedule, then bam! Next thing I know, I'm in the middle of the dance party. It's part parade, part dance party and tons of fun for the kiddos. It's incredibly high energy and fun to watch & bop along to. Bright, colorful, loud and fun - try to catch this in the Hub for ultimate dance partying. 35 minutes in length and most of the action takes place right by Cinderella Castle. It does parade around a bit but that's where most of the dancing with the characters happens. In terms of characters, you'll actually see some random ones you might not catch in other parades and definitely won't see in Meet & Greets or walking around the parks, so that's cool! They also encourage social media interaction by using #MoveItShakeItPics on Twitter or Instagram, you might get your photos on the floats during the party!

The Dancers and the characters invite you to come out into the street for a dance party, and everyone joins in the fun for a good 10-15 minutes. A chance to get up close to a few of the costumed characters and break out some of that extra Energy that Disney produces in every kid and adult (And burn off all that extra sugar you know you've consumed.) This parade is a lot of fun to watch and participate in. Be sure to find out what times it rolls out, It's usually 2-3 times each afternoon. And if you see Leo, tell him his haunt momma said hello.

The Orlando Auto Museum is a classic car museum that opened at Dezerland Park in Orlando, Florida…read morein December 2020. It was founded by Israeli-American real estate developer and long-time car collector Michael Dezer. Growing up in Tel Aviv, Israel, Dezer was very interested in motor vehicles. As a teenager, he purchased a Vespa followed by a Harley Davidson motorcycle. This would spark a lifelong obsession to collect more motor vehicles. The first car Dezer purchased was a 1949 Plymouth. After relocating to the United States in 1962, he continued to purchase more and more cars. By 2012, Dezer had opened the Miami Auto Museum which featured more than 1,000 cars that he collected. To add to his growing collection, he purchased the collection from the Cars of the Stars Motor Museum in England, its sister site The Bond Museum, and other various movie cars. In 2020, Dezer moved his entire collection to his newly built Dezerland Park Orlando. The current museum spans over 250,000-square-feet and features over 2,000 motor vehicles that are valued at $200 million across more than 20 themed rooms. My family and I recently visited the Orlando Auto Museum while we were on an East Coast Road Trip. We've visited a few different automobile and motor vehicle museums over the years, but this was overwhelming to say the least. We have never seen so many cars and vehicles located under one roof. Cars and vehicles were grouped into various rooms themed by country of origin (Israel, Italy, Germany, U.K.), type (Art Deco, Chryslers, Hot Rods, Military), and screen-used movie cars ("Hollywood Cars of the Stars"). There were even rooms devoted exclusively to Batman and James Bond vehicles. The collections of motorcycles, Vespas, scooters and bicycles were equally impressive. I spotted four of my five all-time favorite movie cars: the Ghostbusters' Ecto-1, the Back to the Future DeLorean, the 1989 Batmobile, and James Bond's Aston Martin DB5. The only exception was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. We ended up spending nearly 5 hours at the museum. If you're a fan of classic cars then I highly recommend a trip to the Orlando Auto Museum.

This is probably the best auto museum I have ever attended. I actually thought this was only a car…read moremuseum but it ended up being a lot more. Each and every vehicle you could imagine. Very large museum. Expect to be there about 60-90 minutes. Depending on how long you observe each car. If you like antique vehicles you will love this place. I love that they have the foot steps telling you which direction to go to next. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes because you definitely will be getting those steps in. I enjoyed every moment. Plenty of parking available outside of the mall.
