00:00Hey, it's Coop with Big98One live from Walt Disney World.

00:03We've talked about all the incredible parks.

00:05You know about that.

00:06We've talked about the incredible resorts that you can stay at planning your trip.

00:10We got to talk about my favorite part, which is the food.

00:12I love it.

00:13We got some chefs.

00:14We've got Sierra and Savage, which might be the coolest name for anyone ever

00:18here with me today.

00:19Some of the chefs at Walt Disney World.

00:21I want to talk about Epcot a little bit because that's where we're going today.

00:24It is my personal favorite park.

00:26Not only are there amazing rides, but, you know, you can go around

00:29and try all this incredible cuisine, delectable bites from all these

00:33different countries at Epcot, along with the beverages, the adult beverages as well.

00:37But let's talk about some of the food.

00:38I know that the the Flower and Garden Festival is going on right now as well.

00:42So in addition to the restaurants that you can go out and sit down at,

00:45there's a bunch of outdoor spots that you can eat at, too.

00:47You guys want to talk about that?

00:49So, yes, the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival

00:52will be going on until June 2nd.

00:54And we do offer more than 100 food and beverage offerings

00:58in those outdoor kitchens.

00:59And that's just for this one festival.

01:01There's three more that are coming up this year.

01:04And we also have, again, food from those 11 countries

01:07all around World Showplace.

01:10All right. Let's talk about up to today.

01:12We have our dining scheduled for the Beer Garden, which I have never been to before.

01:16I tried the and I forget the name of the Canadian Steakhouse.

01:19That's incredible.

01:20I've also done the Coral Reef Restaurant.

01:21That's incredible.

01:23I'm excited about the Beer Garden.

01:24Can you guys talk about that a little bit?

01:26So, Beer Garden is essentially Oktoberfest all year round.

01:30You walk in, you get immersed in the German culture.

01:34They have shows going on.

01:35It is an all you care to enjoy a buffet section on there.

01:39And it is extremely authentic in the fact that we have cast members

01:43come to us all the way from Germany as well.

01:46So it's a very authentic experience.

01:48That's what you're saying.

01:48Very much so, yes.

01:50Can't drop that enough.

01:51I love it. It's great.

01:52And, you know, we were talking about those other restaurants,

01:54the Beer Garden, the Coral Reef,

01:55some of the different places that you can book reservations for and sit down.

01:58But if you're in a hurry, you want to just kind of grab and go.

02:01You can do that as well, right?

02:02Absolutely. And it's still delicious food.

02:04Absolutely. We have Connections Eatery, which is actually my location.

02:08And we're preparing pizzas, burgers, chicken sandwiches.

02:12And we're doing that all fresh right in front of you.

02:15And so you can actually see us prepare like our Baumkuchen.

02:18And we can see us preparing our pizzas, all of it right there.

02:20And it is cooked fresh as possible.

02:23Can we talk about this lovely woman, Katie?

02:25Hi, Katie, who's holding these desserts here in front of us.

02:29What do we have? What is this?

02:31And where can you get this when you come to to Disney World?

02:34So this is our seasonal Baumkuchen, which will be available until June 2nd.

02:37It's going to follow the Flower and Garden Festival.

02:40And it is lavender and lemon scented.

02:44It is a German dish, Baum, meaning tree, Kuchen, meaning cake.

02:49And those layers in the cake resemble the rings in a tree.

02:52And this is one of the items that you can see us prepare over at Connections Eatery.

02:56Wow, that is incredible.

02:57You definitely have to check that out.

02:59All right. As I have two chefs, I have to ask this question to you guys, OK?

03:02I think you probably know what's coming.

03:04But we're talking about Epcot.

03:05I want each of your favorite food items at Epcot

03:09and adult beverage as well, if you partake.

03:13You got this.

03:14Sierra, you want to go?

03:15So there are so many great options throughout the year.

03:20The four festivals and then the 11 countries on there.

03:22I'm partial to Akershus Royal Banquet Hall

03:26because we have a lot of Norwegian food there and we get to dine with the princesses.

03:30So that always makes it fun.

03:32But as far as the festival, there's a lot of returning favorites.

03:36Northern Bloom that has beef tenderloins available there.

03:41Yacht and Beach Grub, which are our new kiosks.

03:43Just a lot of fun things to enjoy.

03:45Savage, you're not getting off without answering the question.

03:48You got to give me something, man.

03:49OK, so La Salle is one of my favorites.

03:52They have phenomenal steaks in-house and I'm a big protein guy.

03:55I love my steak and potatoes.

03:57So I'm going to say La Salle.

03:59Perfect. I love it, guys.

04:00And listen, you touched on the character dining, too.

04:02And we talked to Brent earlier, who's all about planning your vacation.

04:05You can do it at that Plan Disney website and get the character dining.

04:08I've done it with my kids who are 12, 11 and six.

04:10And it is a phenomenal thing to have delicious food

04:13and have the characters come around and interact with the kids.

04:16So, guys, thank you so much for all you do get here.

04:18Enjoy the food. Enjoy the drink.

04:20Plan your Walt Disney World vacation.
