Walt Disney World: It's Not Just for Kids

I love Food Network almost as much as I love Disney, so I was thrilled when I found out that a new Unwrapped on the Disney Resorts was going to airing.  I watched it the other day.  While I think a lot of the special came from the old Unwrapped special, I still liked it a lot.

I found the discussion about the baked goods at Disney Land interesting.  I went to Disney Land during the Happiest Celebration on Earth, and I honestly wasn’t that wowed by their food.  The discussion of the printer with edible ink was pretty sad-is there a supermarket in America that doesn’t have that technology?  I did; however, find myself wishing that they had mentioned how to order a cake to be delivered-it seemed like an easy promotion or upsell for for Disney.

I liked the piece on the Mickey Bars.  I’m not a Mickey Bar fan (I can’t remember ever having one!), but I did like seeing how they were made.  The mention of them being available on the Disney Cruise Line seemed noteworthy to me, as it seems as if they are a secret feature of the room service menu on the ships.

I liked how they included Miyuki-she really exemplifies what Epcot can do well.  She brings something most tourists have never heard of, Japanese Candy Art, and makes it a do not miss attraction.  The behind the scenes shots of the potstickers at Nine Dragons and the apple strudel at Biergarden did not really wow me, I can think of many more interesting foods that could have been featured.

While I found the character dining bit dull, the piece on Goofy’s Candy Company was awesome (anyone else catch the shot of my beloved Dipped Fudge Cookie being dipped?)  They details on the make your own items were great, although I’d love to be the organization of a person with a microphone when I’m there.  The birthday parties looked awesome, do you think they’d find it weird if a 27th birthday party would be booked there?

Did you see the special?  What dd you think?
