Epcot Festival of the Holidays - Part 2

Since I couldn't quite get everything done at Festival in the Holidays in one day, I had to go back another time to try just a few more things!  The size of this festival is much more approachable food-wise than the Food and Wine Festival since there are fewer booths, but I'd only really had a half day to squeeze in everything.

Welcome back, Disney Foodies!      Ready for Round Two of some delicious reviews? Earlier this week I gave you a tasty look into the opening of the first ever Epcot International Festival of the Holidays. (If you need to catch up, click  HERE for Part One .) Today we are going to continue our little tour around the world and show you more of what this awesome Festival has to offer. Last I saw you, we were just finishing up our turkey in the American Adventure, right? Ok. Loosen that belt, and let's keep going... Tuscany Holiday Kitchen (Italy) What did we try?    Carbonara How would I describe it?    Pasta in a creamy, cheesy, bacony sauce How was the portion/value?    We didn't get a lot for $7, but holy cow, was it worth it! What letter grade would we give it?   A++     This might have been one of my favorite pasta dishes that I have ever had. And I'm Italian, so that's ...
