I saw a treat online and I was glad I remembered to stop for I needed to try the Cannoli Cupcake.
This beauty can be found at the gelato stand in Italy. It was as good as it looks, if not better. The shell of the cannoli was fresh and crisp, which is a sticking point for me with cannolis, and the cake was so dense, but not very sweet which was perfect paired with the cannoli filling and the candied fruit. Cupcake nirvana!
On our way out of the park we used our FP for Soarin'. I really wanted to stay for Wilson Philips, but it had been a long day and we were hot and exhausted and ready to get back to our room. We caught a bus right away and fell fast asleep the second we walked in our room and had a much needed hour long nap.
Now, what's in store for dinner?

Is this with all alcohol purchases? I kinda hope so after I saw them selling bottles/mason jars of wiskey in world showcase. I always thought that could be a HUGE problem with kids(college age) binge drinking thru the park.
You are my personal food and wine hero. Seriously, you live the food and wine life I would love to live but unfortunately my daughter is having very little of it ; )
All of your food today looks great! Especially that scallop and the taco. Yum!
Looks like the culinary demo was a ton of fun. How cool to meet a top chef! We're total fans and are thankful to have a few permanently in DC now. That pheasant looks and sounds awesome. Gonna see if I can get my personal chef to make me some ; )
Such an amazing start! I love your room and of course all the deliciousness!
Well you can't go wrong with WPE, I love the bacon wrapped meatloaf. I had no idea they had a sandwich. I am a huge fan of that Parisian slushy as well, it is a little bit of booze heaven for sure. Loved all of you Food and Wine updates. I can't wait for Nov 2017!! Remy is sooo cute. I am so mad at myself for not doing that.
Everything you ate (and drank) at F&W looks fantastic! I love your ears
And completely off food topic, where did you get your Minnie nail decals?
Love your food and wine pictures. Everything looks so good! Though, as an aussie, i take offense to them using the word shrimp instead of prawns
Is this a F&W thing or always in Italy now? I vaguely remember reading about it once. I LOVE cannolis!
Every time I see you WPE pictures I so want to go there and we have never been yet lol. Thanks for all your good coverage on the FW activities and of course the food and drinks you have tried.
Holy smokes we were in Epcot on the same day. Man it was hot! I wish I had a chance to try that La Passion Slushy but settled for the Pineapple Sake instead. Something about my son wanting to do Agent P Adventures, what a F&W Buzzkill, that one!
Dang, that cannoli cupcake looks so good. I wish I knew about that. I loved that shrimp taco in Mexico too! Loving your trip report!
Following along! So far everything looks fantastic.... that taco in Mexico looked so yummy!
A bit late! Love your review so far! Happily reliving our F&W memories! Love the room at SSR! I grew up outside of Saratoga Springs, NY. I have never stayed at SSR but have walked thru and it is really cool! Some day ...
Can't wait for the rest of your reviews!
Jeri, your reports make me so happy! Every time you post a shrimp taco I want one so darn bad. And that Key Limen wine that you've posted about several times!!! I'm hoping they have something like that during Flower & Garden when we go!! Xoxo
I've been enjoying yet another DR Jeri! So much happiness & fun you 2 have together! Just love seeing & reading along! We look forward to WPE, no matter what it's always good. Nice to try new things though. We are staying OKW just so we can enjoy DS food next trip & WPE is a must!
Yum! This was our first year at Food and Wine and it was awesome. Loved the filet mignon at Canada and the Kerrygold cake at the Ireland booth.
I saw a review that the cannoli cupcake wasn't very good, but since you seemed to like it I'm thinking of trying it! After all it combines two of my favorite things.
Fun updates!! I love your vacation style!! For that beverage demo it looks like there was barely a taste in each glass! I wouldn't expect 3 full glasses but yeesh! The Kevin Sbraga demo looks fun. Any interesting Top Chef tidbits he shared? I think I was there around the same time and wow was it hot and then there was that hurricane nonsense...
What a great day you had! That Cannoli Cupcake looked amazing! I would be the one to buy the wine and then forget for days to pick it up at the gate
