Around the World

     I recently checked on my Disney Dining App and discovered listings for nearly 100 different food venues at Walt Disney World.  There are varying themes like an indoor restaurant designed like an outdoor drive-in theater and another that is like eating in your own home back in the 50's, complete with formica table tops and black & white TVs.  And of course there are cuisine based restaurants to appeal to any palate.  Consider this:  during my week long stay I enjoyed Italian antipasto at Portobello's in Downtown Disney, pineapple macadamia pancakes at the Kona Café in the Polynesian Resort, Greek eggs and feta cheese at Kouzzima's on the Boardwalk, and chicken and ribs at the Flame Tree Barbecue in the Animal Kingdom.

     But if you want to make a quick visit to cuisines of the world, EPCOT is the place to go.  In their world showcase you can sample lefse flatbread from Norway, sip a tankard in the German Biergarten, carve a thick cut of beef in the Canadian Cellier Steakhouse, watch belly dancing as you eat a kabob in the Restaurant Marrakesh, taste authentic Italian gelati, have a French baguette sandwich at one of two French cafes,  quaff a pint with fish and chips in an English pub, have a Mexican quesadilla, and eat orange chicken or nihonbashi with chopsticks, all in the same day.  If your stomach permits, that is.

     There are many things to see and do at WDW.  And food is certainly one of the main attractions.  More on that in the new year.
