The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival is just around the corner, and this year there are a few meals with celebrities planned as part of the fest. In October, guests can choose to rub elbows and break bread with the likes of Cat Cora, John Lasseter, Andrew Zimmern and the Voltaggio brothers this October.

First up is a five-course dinner with Cat Cora at her Disney Boardwalk restaurant, Kouzzina by Cat Cora. Guests can sign up for either the October 2 or October 4 meal. Cost is $170 per person.

New Buffet Trialed at Disney's Coronado Springs

Guests going to grab a bite to eat at the Pepper Market, an eating destination in Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, may have noticed a change recently. A new buffet concept has been rolled out and trialed with guests there in place of the Market's food court.

While the Pepper Market looks much the same, the change comes in that guests will pay a set price for an all-you-care-to-eat buffet filled with many food dishes instead of paying for different items at different stations.

Reservations for this new experience began September 15.

Meals With Character – The Crystal Palace and The Garden Grill

Some people might think "Oh, character meals are just for kids!" but we think otherwise. While there may be a few character meals geared more toward kids (think: Hollywood and Vine at breakfast and lunch), the majority of character meals at Walt Disney World are just perfect for "kids" of all ages!

Columbia Harbour House in the Magic Kingdom's Liberty Square

On a recent visit to the Magic Kingdom it was about 3 p.m. when I realized (1) I was starving and (2) I wasn't going to get anywhere near Casey's because Main Street was a mass of humanity thanks to the parade. As disappointed as I was to not be eating corn dog nuggets and fries with cheese, I had another less hectic location in mind. So, in an attempt to avoid the crowds my friend and I headed through the castle, walked past the very long lines at Peter Pan's Flight and it's a small world, turned the corner and then it hit us.

Disney Cruise Line: Escape to Serenity Bay

In the middle of this winter cold, there's nothing more that I would like than to be lying on a Caribbean beach in the sun on a quiet beach. A short Disney Cruise with a stop at Disney's private island, Castaway Cay sounds like just the break I need! No need to worry about the kids because I'll be headed straight to Serenity Bay.

Epcot's Morocco Offers a Romantic Respite

Walt Disney World's Epcot theme park offers many great spots to take time out for a little romance. The Moroccan Pavilion is one of my favorite places to spend some time with my husband. Full of twist and turns you can almost imagine getting lost in the streets of the city. From the sweet smells of orange when the tangerines are in bloom, to the splash of the fountain, this pavilion's design was overseen by the King of Morocco's personal architect to be sure that Disney got it right. The Moroccan Pavilion offers a mystical world to be lost in, and is a delightful escape.

Disney's Yacht Club Resort Crew's Cup Lounge

Nestled in the halls between the Beach Club and the Yacht Club Resorts sits the inconspicuous little Crew's Cup Lounge. The fact that it's so easy to miss may make it one of Disney best hidden gems. Adjacent to the Yachtsman Steakhouse, the Crew's Cup can be busy at dinner time with snappily dressed diners waiting for their tables to be called, but during the rest of the day it's a special, quiet retreat.

Liberty Tree Tavern Lunch Review

One of the aspects of Disney World dining that often frustrates me is the inconsistency of the food. What is my favorite restaurant one trip will often be mediocre the next trip and terrible the next. This is one of the reasons I always think of Liberty Tree Tavern as one of my all-time favorite Disney World restaurants. I have never not enjoyed my meal there.
