Just a few more updates from yesterday to post, the first one a snack update from DisneyMamato4.


She and her family were at Epcot and headed to France...


























Here's what they chose...




Chocolate Eclair, Napoleon, and Duo Au Chocolate


I was curious about the Duo au Chocolat so I found this fairly detailed description: The base is a chocolate cake, which has a small heap of chocolate mousse dolloped on top of it in the middle. Surrounding the cake and mousse is a dome of white chocolate custard, it was also described as a mousse, but it definitely has more of a custard texture. To top this chocolate, chocolate, chocolate dome, the Duo au Chocolat is dusted with cocoa powder, given a drizzle of chocolate sauce, and decorated with a chocolate ring.





"She loved the cream out of the Napoleon!"

"All of the kids had the grilled chicken. They all devoured the chicken, which I tried and was very good. The rice was good too but none of them touched the green beans and carrots."












Here's what they chose...




I think this might be the Bananas Foster Cheesecake with Candied Walnut Tuile and Rum-Caramel Sauce?






This is maybe the Hazelnut Gianduja Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel Sauce and Chocolate Crispies?

Kids Make your own Sundae


"Dessert was so good! The best though was the chocolate hazelnut cake...amazing. The s'mores tart and banana cheesecake were very good also and the kids loved making their sundaes."

...you make a fork tower."

"The Crunky bar! Has anyone ever tried one of these?"



Yes! I bought the sardines on our last trip to give to my dad. He tried about 3 and then said I could keep the rest.. lol. I tried a few, they weren't horrible but definitely had a fishy taste to them and very crunchy. The amount of sodium in them was absolutely insane. I ended up throwing them out after they sat on our counter for a few days..​
