With heavy hearts, Josh’s parents would like to let his friends and readership know that he passed away quietly March 10th. We know that many of you came to love him and rely on his expertise and humor during his 10 years of blogging all things Walt Disney World on his easywdw.com website. He will […] The post A Sad Message To easywdw.com Readers From Josh’s Family appeared first on easyWDW ..read more

Josh’s Note Begin (Easily Skippable Nonsense): Things may appear to be even wonkier than usual here for a week…or two…or three…or until Marvel  unravels the true meaning of the multiverse that I hope we are on the cusp of escaping. However those portals work. I’m ready to jump through whatever, especially if Alligator Loki is […] The post Touring Disney’s Hollywood Studios with Genie+ Part One of Forty appeared first on easyWDW ..read more

We continue from Bavaria. Welcome to Italy, where even the beer has managed to form some kind of crust that probably shouldn’t be there. Or at least when you typically order a Peroni, you don’t expect to be asked if you want it served flat or well-done. Not everything has to be microwaved. The booth […] The post Tuscany Italy EPCOT Festival of the Holidays Review appeared first on easyWDW ..read more

We continue from Refreshment Outpost. Editor’s Note: This is complete nonsense until you get to “Pork Schnitzel with Mushroom Sauce, Spätzle, and Braised Red Cabbage – $6.25” Bavaria returns to the left of Germany with the same food menu as last year. “Prost!” I exclaimed at the news. I don’t know what the word means, […] The post Bavaria Germany EPCOT Festival of the Holidays Review appeared first on easyWDW ..read more

We press on from Cheesy Wontons and Las Posadas. The Refreshment Outpost gets into the spirit of the holidays with some number of Festival Offerings this year. I don’t mourn a whole lot. There was the paralyzing disappointment of the 2021 Washington Football season. And the crushing disappointment of the inaugural Seattle Kraken hockey season.

We continue from Las Pasadas. There was a time (2020) when China offered an ambitious holiday menu of previously-frozen (baked, kind of) egg rolls, microwaved (too long) bao buns, and a (gummy) meat of questionable origin. In a somewhat surprising move, the China booth is not open for this year’s Festival in any capacity. Instead, […] The post Shanghai Lotus Blossom Cafe EPCOT Festival of the Holidays Review appeared first on easyWDW ..read more

We continue from Chestnuts and Good Cheer. Las Posadas, which is a reference to the Inn in the story of the birth of Jesus, takes up residency in the usual spot before arriving at the pyramid on the lagoon side. Those nuts are located at a kiosk down to the right of this picture. Either […] The post Las Posadas Mexico EPCOT Festival of the Holidays Review appeared first on easyWDW ..read more

We continue from The Donut Box. The Chestnuts and Good Cheer Holiday Kitchen takes over for what I generally refer to as Corn Smoke Cough Alley. For whatever reason, Disney has decided that putting giant smokers along the water with no barriers to shield guests walking along the promenade is healthy, so long as the […] The post Chestnuts and Good Cheer EPCOT Festival of the Holidays Review appeared first on easyWDW ..read more
