Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew at Disney Springs full review and reasons why you'll want to add it to your list for your next Walt Disney World Visit.

Full Review and What To Expect at Everglazed 

Forget the diet! Happiness, donuts and coffee go hand in hand. Lucky for us, Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew is now open in Orlando. With a tagline like “Happiness Glazed Here” they’re ready to bring us to our happy place with scrumptious donuts, iced coffees and more.

We definitely need more smiles in our lives right now. A few bites and sips and guaranteed you’ll be smiling – even laughing – in no time. Blame the sugar high. (I did!)

“All your worries go away when you have a donut in your hand. Donuts make people happy.”

– Mike Crave, Everglazed
Go Epicurista with Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew at Disney Springs
Happiness Found!

I was invited to a media preview of Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew a few days after their opening on January 6th to get a first look. They’re still tweaking some things and adapting to the strong demand (over 1,500 donuts sold per day on their first 2 days!) All opinions shared here are my own. As you know, I only share with you experiences and products I love to inspire you to go #MakeSomedayHappen one delicious bite, sip and trip at a time. 

Let’s dig in!

Where To Find Epic Donuts at Disney?

Looking to satisfy your donut cravings at Disney? While you can find epic cupcakes galore around Disney and they just landed the best cookies on the planet with local Gideon’s Bakehouse, Everglazed fills the need for over the top donuts in the Walt Disney World Resort.

Just head to Disney Springs West Side. You’ll find Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew right next to Splitsville Luxury Lanes, off the west entrance and exit of the Orange Parking Garage. (Note this access point is currently not used as an entrance due to Disney’s increased health & safety measures and controlled entrance checkpoints.)

Look for this bright colored window!

Time To Make The Donuts.

Stand at the window and watch the gorgeous cake and yeast donuts made fresh from scratch. They’re glazed and decorated with all sorts of sweet toppings in the open kitchen right before your eyes. Then step around the corner and inside to choose your fresh treat.

Gorgeous Donuts made every day, all day!

Everglazed is the first foray into quick service from the owners of Splitsville. It’s “Florida Born and Glazed” so you’ll have to come to Orlando to enjoy because you can’t find Everglazed Donuts anywhere else in the world!

Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew at Disney Springs full review and reasons why you'll want to add it to your list for your next Walt Disney World Visit.

Donuts are made fresh daily in limited quantities, so get there early. Orders are limited to 2 dozen per person to make sure everyone can get their hands on these sweet creations.

But don’t worry. If you want donuts for breakfast, or breakfast for dinner, the full menu including donuts and breakfast sandwiches (more about those in a bit!) are available all day. Current hours are 9am – 10pm but be sure to check schedules online for any changes.

This meaty Maple Double Bacon donut could be dinner!

Classic and Instagrammable.

If you’re a fan of classics, check out “The New Classics” on the menu. Of course there’s glazed and chocolate iced, vanilla and strawberry with sprinkles.

My advice is go bold when you visit Everglazed Donuts. The Blueberry Cake, a favorite for Managing Director Mike Crave, has received rave reviews for its classic cake texture and nuanced flavor. I will be trying that one on my next visit. 

The vibrant Purple Glazed Ube (pronounced ooh-beh) – made with the Philippine purple sweet potato – was my favorite in the classic category. Not quite “classic”, it’s more hipster with a dense pillowy texture, vegan glaze and glittery sugar topping. Compared to the other more over the top decadent creations you can say it’s got a classic simple elegance. It’s also quite Instagrammable, completely vegan, and less sweet than the others.

Look at that color. No filter!

Happiness For Cereal Lovers. 

Kids, and kids at heart, who love sugary cereals will absolutely scream for the cereal topped donuts and cereal flavored milks on the menu. You’ll find Fruity Pebbles and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Both tasted just how you might remember enjoying a bowl and slurping the leftover sweet milk while watching Saturday morning cartoons. (I know, I’m dating myself here.)

Cereal in donut form!

Fruity Pebbles has a light strawberry flavor from the strawberry icing and is fully coated with the colorful cereal. The cereal was crunchy too which was a nice surprise. A winner!

If you love cinnamon, you’ll swoon for the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. A cinnamon iced donut topped with a generous mound of cream cheese frosting, Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and cinnamon sugar. Cinnamony goodness!

Say Hello To The Funky Bunch at Everglazed Donuts

Marky Mark would approve of this sweet Funky Bunch! In this collection you’ll find donuts topped with your favorite candy bars, cookies and decadent flavor combos. 

For Oreo fans, get the Oreo Supreme, featuring a vanilla iced donut topped with crushed Oreos, vanilla frosting and an Oreo cookie. This one was quite sweet and was more cream than cookie with the flavor of the famous cookie filling being predominant. I would have liked more of the chocolate cookie notes.

Mounds Coconut Dream is for the coconut lovers! A coconut almond iced donut topped with toasted coconut, chopped Mounds, cream cheese frosting and a drizzle of vanilla icing. Loved the toasted coconut on top. This one was dreamy. A drizzle of dark chocolate on top may have put it over the top for me!

Mounds Coconut Dream!

If you think Nutella is the best spread ever! the Nutella Bella is filled with loads of Nutella cream and topped with chocolate icing and chopped hazelnuts. This was the only Funky Bunch I didn’t get to try so it’s on my list for the next visit. I love cream filled donuts.

The Most Epic Flavor Combos

If, like me, you think chocolate and peanut butter is the best flavor combo ever, then don’t miss the Peanut Butter Explosion. A chocolate iced donut topped with peanut butter chips, crushed Reese’s Cups, a huge dollop of chocolate peanut butter frosting and a whole Reeses Cup on top. Peanut butter flavors were just as predominant as the chocolate which was wonderful. This is more dessert than breakfast, it’s pure decadence and no surprise it’s a top seller.

You can also get this donut paired with a Reese’s Nitro – a nitro cold brew concoction with peanut butter and vanilla syrup, chocolate drizzle and crushed Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.  I loved the nitro cold brew but next time will ask to dial down the amount of syrup. For reference comparison, I normally do this at Starbucks also. I like to taste the coffee more than the syrups. 

Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew at Disney Springs full review and reasons why you'll want to add it to your list for your next Walt Disney World Visit.

For an epic flavor combo, get the Maple Double Bacon. My top favorite donut of the day! A maple iced donut loaded with crispy candied bacon. The bacon was perfectly meaty and had great texture. The saltiness nicely contrasted the sweet maple flavor.  

Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew at Disney Springs full review and reasons why you'll want to add it to your list for your next Walt Disney World Visit.
I tried one little piece and then promptly had another and another… it was tough to put down this bacon sweet salty flavor bomb!

The Managing Director shared they are meticulous about wanting to offer the best donuts around, so don’t be afraid to share your feedback with them if something isn’t quite right. Case in point, when they realized the bacon was making the donut soggy, one of the pastry chefs came up with the brilliant idea of making candied bacon instead. Who doesn’t like candied bacon? Truly a brilliant move.

Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew at Disney Springs full review and reasons why you'll want to add it to your list for your next Walt Disney World Visit.
Look at all that candied bacon!

Get Caffeinated with Cold Brew & Coffee at Everglazed!

Take your pick of cold brew or nitro iced coffee to turbo charge your day. Add your choice of milk, creams, sweeteners and syrups. Everglazed offers whole, skim, soy and oat milk and all the popular flavors of syrups such as salted caramel, white chocolate, vanilla, hazelnut, cinnamon bun and peppermint.

Create your own or choose a Cold Brew Classic creation. I normally drink vanilla lattes so I chose the Vanilla Hazelnut Cold Brew. It was a winning combo. Next time as I mentioned above, I will ask for less syrups to tone down the level of sweetness. That’s just my preference. I think anyone who loves those sweet coffee drinks at other national chains would really like this one.

Spiked Coffee Cocktails, Because Why Not.

While on vacation, there are no rules. If you want a little something something to boost your coffee in the morning, Everglazed serves up cold brews blended with wine based cordials for a unique coffee cocktail. They are lower in alcohol but provide the flavors you expect in rum, amaretto and other popular spirits.

Choose from Strawberry Mocha with rum cordial, Mochalada Mudslide with rum and chocolate cordials and pina colada mix. Spiked Cinnamon Toast with Irish Cream and Cinnamon cordials. Little Italy with Amaretto cordial and wedding cookie crumble (sounds yummy!). Or the house favorite Glazed & Confused with rum, vanilla and coffee syrups topped with a Maple Double Bacon Donut. (I’m definitely ordering this one next time!)

The Biggest Surprise On The Menu: The Sandwiches!

While Everglazed Donuts is undoubtedly tailor made for those with a sweet tooth, the biggest surprise on the menu are their savory options. The sandwiches do have a touch of sweetness as they’re served on a deliciously soft and lightly toasted sweet bun. And if you truly can’t resist the donuts, level up by subbing the bread for a griddled glazed donut for $1 more. 

The Breakfast Sammie, reminiscent of what you’d get at a breakfast diner, with two fried eggs topped with American cheese and your choice of bacon or chicken sausage was beautifully executed. I got it with crispy bacon. It’s available for breakfast all day long. There aren’t many options for quick serve breakfast at Disney Springs so this is a great choice.

This was so nice and cheesy too!

The Funky Chicken with a perfectly crispy yet juicy fried chicken breast topped with tangy ranch slaw, a drizzle of BBQ sauce, (not so) spicy mayo and B&B pickles was so good I didn’t want to share it. I would have added more hot sauce because I’m a fan of everything spicy. But this sandwich was packed with flavor. The biggest surprise of the day!

I don’t think I’m sharing this!

Other sandwich options include The B&G Burger,  Classic Egg & Cheese, and The Grilled Cheeeeeeese with oodles of cheese! Pair sandwiches with loaded waffle fries topped with chili, queso, bacon, scallions, cilantro and sour cream.

Where To Enjoy Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brews

Wondering where to enjoy your Everglazed creations? After you pick up your items at the counter, there are a few tables inside but it’s one of the socially distanced tables in their outdoor “donut garden” you’ll want to snag. It’s a cute area with “grass” and twinkling lights. And once the renovations at Splitsville across the way are complete, it will be much more lively.

A treat with a waterfront view!

Or, if you prefer a more open, relaxing and socially distanced spot, head over to the West Side Dock area behind House of Blues. It’s right by the water and quite peaceful, especially early mornings. Picnic perfect.

Our “Picnic” is Ready!

Everglazed is Made for Sharing! 

Everglazed donuts are pretty big. In fact, normal donuts can be 3 to 3.5 inches. At Everglazed they’re 4.5 inches and built really high! Sandwiches are also quite filling and coffees are 16 – 24oz. While prices are on the higher end compared to your typical Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts, the menu items are big enough to share (whether you want to or not is another story!)

Sharing is caring!

Donuts range in price from $4.50-$5.50, sandwiches are $6-$13. Save $3 on half dozen and $6 on a dozen donuts. Get a variety, cut them up and share.

Half a Dozen Donuts = Lots of Smiles!

Dessert For Breakfast. Any Time.

The donuts at Everglazed, especially The Funky Bunch creations, are more dessert than breakfast. Enjoy one after lunch or dinner or as a snack to power your strolling around Disney Springs. And do get some to take back home or to your hotel room. I was so pleasantly surprised the donut’s texture held up very nicely the next day.

Expect Everglazed Donuts to add new seasonal flavors for special events and holidays. As they’re still in the opening phase, menu items may be tweaked so the pictures and menu shown above is subject to change. The good news is you can see the product before you buy it so go ahead and eat with your eyes!

Positive Community Impact.

In addition to the surprising explosion of flavors, the best surprise was the positive community impact. It’s wonderful to see businesses, especially food businesses in the attractions area, opening in the midst of this pandemic. It gives me hope we will soon see more visitors safely enjoying Orlando.

Everglazed and their parent company, Millennium Restaurant Group, are committed to providing a great product for locals and visitors to enjoy. Their goal is to “stay safe and keep moving forward”. In addition to Everglazed they’re in the process of expanding Splitsville and opened a new restaurant, JOTORO in Tampa.

Adding jobs in the community is a big deal, especially with the high number of layoffs in our area due to the reduced number of visitors and events. Everglazed was able to hire some of the Disney pastry chefs who had been laid off, so you know your donuts are made by talented pros who know how to bring you magic.

So far, Everglazed has added 45 jobs but that could grow based on the demand they’ve already seen, which exceeded expectations. 

That’s something to be really happy about! 

What You Need To Know About Disney Safety Before You Go.

Disney Springs is still following strict health and safety guidelines. All visitors are required to go through a security and temperature screening check point in the parking lot. It is recommended to arrive early as parking lots have been known to reach capacity, especially on weekends. Once the parking garages are full, guests will no longer be able to park and visit Disney Springs.

Masks and appropriate face coverings are required at all times, unless you are stationary while eating and drinking. So no walking around while blissfully sipping away on your cold brew.

Lastly, social distancing markers are found on the floor in any areas where cues are required, such as standing in line at Everglazed. So don’t let your daydreaming excitement for these treats get in the way of paying attention to the markers to keep your distance from others in line.

Health and Safety Guidelines To Follow

How To Order Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew?

Currently guests will stand in a socially distanced line outside and be allowed into the store as capacity allows to pick up your order. You can scan the menu QR code with your smartphone so you can plan your order before you get to the counter. A virtual cue and mobile ordering is in the works and should be introduced soon.

⠀
🥂  Fun. Yes! Despite the challenges of this pandemic. We adapted. And we searched for joy in every turn. ⠀
⠀
✨  We got creative in the kitchen⠀
✨  We enjoyed the outdoors & went for more walks than ever before⠀
✨  We used Zoom, What's App & social media to stay connected⠀
✨  We attempted to learn new skills in the early days (remember March?!) ⠀
✨  We watched a lot of TV! (Schitt’s Creek, Ted Lasso, Killing Eve, The Queen’s Gambit, Mandalorian & even Tiger King got us thru it!)⠀
✨  We heard the words “pivot” “unprecedented” & “hunker down” way too much. ⠀
✨ “We’re in this together” has a new meaning ⠀
✨  We were distanced yet became much more aware of the world around us ⠀
✨  We had our eyes opened to the harsh inequalities that exist and the importance of speaking out ⠀
✨  We appreciated quality experiences over quantity and became much more selective of where we went when we left the house⠀
✨  Staycations did wonders for our mental health. Thank you @wyndhamgrandorl and @waldorforlando for epic "getaways"! ⠀
✨  In the year of "Take Out" we were awed by epic "At Home Experiences" Thank you @newstandardwp & @tavernaopaorl (Read about them on GoEpicurista.com) ⠀
✨  We were inspired by the tenacity & creativity of small business owners, restaurateurs & food'preneurs who worked so hard to survive & thrive (so many to mention!)⠀
✨  We were encouraged for the future of our hospitality industry by new openings like Knife & Spoon @ritzcarltonorlando & revamps like Henry Moso's @kabooki_orlando 2.0 - The Most Epic Meals of 2020!⠀
 ⠀
There were so many things on my “To Do List” that didn't get checked off. But for today, I'm choosing simply to be grateful for this moment. ⠀

Wishing you loads of abundance & joy. Happy New Year 2021!⠀

As I reflect back on this difficult year, there's still so much to be grateful for. I'm mostly grateful for the friendships that have sustained me and the continued partnerships with my favorite local businesses that have inspired me to keep GoEpicurista going. And, while we didn't travel or dine out much in 2020, we did manage to enjoy a few fabulous staycations and epic meals in Orlando that truly made our spirits bright. More than ever I appreciate now, it's about "Quality vs. Quantity."

Our dinners at Bull & Bear at @waldorforlando and La Luce at @bonnetcreek were epic! I'm still dreaming of that beef carpaccio and the pasta explosion and the perfectly cooked filet and.... all the perfectly paired wines. 

If you haven't dined at Bull & Bear and La Luce or if its been a while, add them to your list and make it a point to GO! 2021 needs all the goodness you can bring! 

Make any day a celebration. Seriously, life is too short. #MakeSomedayHappen

🎉 If you don't have plans for New Year's Eve, La Luce and Bull & Bear are serving fabulous multi course menus to help you say “Hello 2021” in style! 

👉🏼 Check out GoEpicurista.com for a full list of all the festive ways to celebrate in Orlando on 12/31.

⠀
Everyone’s asking “Are you ready for 2021?” And as much as I want to say YES and put this crazy year in the rear view mirror, I also have a long "To Do List" to get done before the year is over. 😩  Where does the time go? Am I the only one who feels like the days are just flying by? ⠀
⠀
Speaking of blink and you miss it moments, I couldn’t believe when I heard @seitobp is celebrating their 20th Anniversary! It's one of my favorite sushi spots in town and I'm sad to say it's been a while since my last visit. This lobster claw sushi is a throwback of a most epic dinner there! ⠀
⠀
If you haven't been to Seito in Baldwin Park, now's the time to visit or re-visit. They're celebrating with over $2K in giveaways! (Follow on social for details!) Plus featuring a fantastic special multi-course menu of old favorites and new flavors this week. ⠀
⠀
Congratulations to Jason and Sue Chin, the talented "pilots" of the Good Salt Restaurant Group. They've filled Orlando's culinary scene with loads of flavor with Seito, @theospreyorlando and @reyesmezcaleria with a 4th restaurant @themonroeorlando coming to give more to look forward to in 2021! ⠀
⠀
Cheers to local restaurants doing good! 🥂⠀

⠀
What festive cocktail will be in your cup of cheer this New Year’s Eve? ⠀
⠀
I loved this gorgeous sangria at Capa in @fsorlando 🍹 The bartenders at the posh resort’s restaurants are some of the best in town, and a great place to welcome 2021, whether you’re craving a Spanish feast at  Capa with a fab Gin Tonic or sangria, Ravello’s Italian cuisine with a Lavender Sgroppino Prosecco cocktail or Cranberry Old Fashioned (recipes below!), Plancha’s mojitos, PB&G indulgent Chocolate Peppermint Martini, or The Lobby Bar’s “Be Gone 2020” - You know there’s plenty of cheer! ⠀

⠀
Here’s 2 fun cocktail recipes for a delightful Four Seasons Orlando experience at home.⠀
⠀
🥃 Cranberry Old Fashioned⠀
⠀
1 oz “Cranberry Simple”: fresh cranberries, water, and sugar. Simmer one cup of cranberries with sugar (about ¼ cup or to preferred sweetness) and 2 cups of water in a pan on medium heat, and then reduce to low heat. Once cranberries are tender, strain out the cranberries, and the remainder serves as the cranberry simple syrup.⠀
⠀
1 oz Bourbon⠀
3 Drops Cranberry Bitters⠀
1 Dash Angostura⠀
1 Lemon Wedge⠀
Sprig of thyme⠀
⠀
Add all ingredients to a mixing glass and stir. Strain into a rocks glass over an ice sphere. Squeeze in and add the lemon wedge. Garnish with a sprig of thyme. Enjoy!⠀
⠀
🍾 Lavender Sgroppino⠀
⠀
3 oz Lemon Sorbet⠀
2 oz Prosecco⠀
.5 oz Lavender Infused Vodka⠀
Sprig of rosemary⠀
⠀
Scoop the lemon sorbet into a Champagne flute, and then add the vodka. Top with Prosecco. Garnish with rosemary. ⠀
⠀
Cheers!⠀

⠀
Merry Christmas Everyone🎄 Kevin may have wanted a cheese pizza but he wanted his family more. I know the feeling. Today I got both!⠀
⠀
There’s no better present than spending time with family, even if that means having a pizza party on Zoom. ⠀
⠀
So many of us are missing our families this year and so we’ve gotten creative. We may have even started a new Xmas tradition. ⠀
⠀
From Portland, Oregon to Orlando, Florida. Dominican Republic to Chicago. We all gathered on Zoom, made pizza, played trivia games, did a scavenger hunt and had an amazing time! ⠀
⠀
For our pizzas, I used @bredinbk ready made crust and topped with roasted peppers, prosciutto, roasted garlic, arugula and my favorite, local Orlando made, family owned Dicuru @freshmozzarellausa. Vladimir and his nephew Jorge are the nicest guys and their Burrata and mozzarella is by far the best in town! ⠀
⠀
👉🏼 Look for Dicuru in your grocery store or order direct from them. I love supporting family owned and run small businesses like them. ⠀
⠀
The holidays are all about family. I’m grateful to be able to spend it with mine even if it’s virtually. While some are no longer with us, their memories will always remain in our hearts. ⠀
⠀
Scroll to see my family Xmas pizza party. The best present was the last video. 💕 😊 🍕🎄⠀
⠀
Merry Christmas! ⠀

⠀
This year has certainly made us cherish the memories of great times spent with loved ones sharing yummy food, laughing and living life. They are such fleeting moments, gone too soon. ⠀
⠀
I'll tell you what else goes fast, and that's these gorgeous @dgdoughnuts 💕 ⠀
⠀
I didn't know they were named the best donut in the State of Florida on Yelp but I can see why! ⠀
⠀
They're so creative, made in small batch, hand rolled, hand cut and hand decorated daily with inventive flavors that change weekly. They sell out quickly so if there's a flavor you want, be sure to get there early or order ahead. Definitely a Must Eat!⠀
⠀
These are "Fancy Pants" Donuts! ⠀
⠀
And if you want a boozy treat to celebrate the season, check out the ones with a pipette shot! ⠀
⠀
The "Coquito" filled with sweet coconut custard, topped with a pipette of @bacardi  limited edition Coquito cream rum and Jack Daniels Caramel Winter Apple filled with spiced apple filling topped with dulce de leche rosettes and a pipette of of @jackdaniels Winter Jack Tennessee Whiskey are sure to make a fun celebration! ⠀

If you’re looking for some delicious gifts this holiday season, don’t forget to support our local small businesses. ⠀

Here’s my recipe for Christmas Cheer:⠀
⠀
✅ Creative Holiday Cocktails⠀
✅ Yummy Asian Street Food⠀
✅ Fun Playlist to Jam, Dance & Sing!⠀
✅ Outdoor Patio for Comfortable Social Distancing⠀
✅ A great friend & business partner to share it with! ⠀
⠀
Lisa @tastecooksip and I had a festive & productive work meeting at @eathawkers Mills location. Our first (masked) face to face meeting since the pandemic began in March! ⠀
⠀
Thank goodness for Zoom but nothing beats face to face meetings to spark the creative juices! We have tons of fun stuff coming up for @figdigitalmedia including new ways to help our local small businesses get social media to work for them. ⠀
⠀
We were totally jamming to the fun 90s playlist in their new outdoor patio. Maybe the new holiday cocktails had something to do with our festive mood? 😉⠀
⠀
The OG Hawkers location now has a full bar and that’s reason to celebrate!⠀
⠀
Check out these Holiday Cocktails, available until 12/31 at all locations:⠀
⠀
🔥 “Get Toasted” - a rich mix of Coconut rum, house-made Vietnamese coffee liqueur, & Bailey's Irish cream. We played mixologist and added some Vietnamese Iced Coffee to it because, coffee!!! I love anything garnished with toasted marshmallows and a Pirouline cookie!! ⠀
 ⠀
🎅 “Santa's Nightcap” with Spiced rum, house-made five-spice simple, amaretto, evaporated milk, and coconut was coconutty. The gingersnap cookies & crushed cookie rim, would make Santa 😊⠀
⠀
🎄 We loved “Christmas in Singapour” made of @hendricksgin, house-made rosemary simple, cranberry, pomegranate & lime juice. It came in a holiday ornament atop chilled cranberries and fresh rosemary for a stunning presentation. ⠀
⠀
🫖 The “Hotty Toddy Christmas” is perfect for the cool weather we’re having with Bulleit rye whiskey, Masala chai black tea & saké⠀
⠀
We dined on our Hawkers favorites: Roti, Edamame with chili, Shrimp Papaya Salad & Crispy Tofu Bites. ⠀
⠀
The outdoor patio with twinkling lights and a fun @mills50district inspired mural is perfect for safe dining.⠀
⠀
Cheers to being able to safely enjoy the holidays!⠀

⠀
It’s been a tough year to say the least so I skipped the baking and got these cookies at @ritzcarltonorlando instead! ⠀
⠀
I absolutely loved their crinkle cookies and the cranberry chocolate bark, and who could resist a gingerbread man? ⠀
⠀
They were some of the treats found along our festive lakeside walk at the beautiful resort. We paired with a glass of bubbles, Coquito and Hot Chocolate. Perfect! ⠀
⠀
Is baking cookies part of your holiday traditions? What’s your favorite cookie? ⠀
⠀
How are you celebrating the holidays this year? ⠀
⠀
👉🏼 I published an update to my “Top Orlando Hotels for Christmas Dining” on GoEpicurista.com and the Grande Lakes Resort comprised of Ritz Carlton and @jwmorlando is one my must visit favorites this holiday season! ⠀
⠀
Several resorts are offering to go options this year for those who wish to dine lavishly at home but skip all the work. Check out the Knife & Spoon To Go feast for 4-6. It’s impressive! ⠀
⠀
Happy Holidays! ⠀

⠀
What’s your favorite holiday activity tradition?⠀
⠀
I’ve been on a Xmas movie binge and never realized there were so many holiday movies out there! Scroll Netflix, Prime, and let’s not forget ALL the Hallmark Channel lineup and there’s every predictable holiday love story. It’s hilarious! I think I’ll stick to comedies like Christmas Vacation, Home Alone, and Elf and The Holiday & Love Actually for rom-coms. Of course I always watch White Christmas. It’s a classic! What are your favorites? ⠀
⠀
Speaking of favorite holiday traditions, let’s talk about chocolate treats! ⠀
⠀
One of my favorite local chocolate shops @peterbrookewp has everything you can dream of covered in chocolate. Popcorn, pretzels and Oreo cookies are my go to’s. They make great gifts for the chocolate lovers in your life. (Hint Hint 😉)⠀
⠀
And if you’re looking for a fun activity the whole family will enjoy, pre-order a Chocolate House Decorating Kit. It comes with everything you need to make the most adorable - and delicious - chocolate house! ⠀
