I was lucky enough to visit the 2017 Epcot International Festival of the Arts when it kicked off this past January and that was pretty gorgeous too!      This popular festival will be returning to Epcot from January 12th - February 19th 2018 and Disney fans are already abuzz about all of the cool offerings and events the second year will bring.

Today we are going to continue our little tour around the world and show you more of what this awesome Festival has to offer. Last I saw you, we were just finishing up our turkey in the American Adventure, right? Ok. Loosen that belt, and let's keep going... Tuscany Holiday Kitchen (Italy) What did we try?    Carbonara How would I describe it?    Pasta in a creamy, cheesy, bacony sauce How was the portion/value?    We didn't get a lot for $7, but holy cow, was it worth it! What letter grade would we give it?   A++     This might have been one of my favorite pasta dishes that I have ever had. And I'm Italian, so that's saying a lot! The pasta was perfectly al dente, the s
