Disney World's Ultra-Sophisticated Champagne Flight (And Where To Find It)
When you're a kid, the magic of everything Disney is pretty hard to beat, and when it comes to Disney Parks — "The place where dreams come true" — even adults are awe-struck. NPR reports that Disney World's Magic Kingdom opened back in 1971. This Orlando, Florida-based theme park features more attractions than can be experienced on a single visit. For many, it encompasses a lifelong dream destination, and the number of visitors the park receives each year highlights its massive appeal.
Statista reports that over 12 million people visited Disney World in 2021, thereby making it the world's most popular amusement park. That same year, Magic Guides notes that the park averaged 57,000 guests every single day. Of those guests, 34,000 took the time to check out EPCOT, a globally-minded theme park that is among the most beloved attractions in Disney World. EPCOT is well known for its Spaceship Earth building, the spherical structure that has since become an iconic image. Spaceship Earth also serves as a gateway to many incredible dining and drinking experiences perfect for adult guests at the park.
Take a trip to France without leaving the country
As explained by Visit Orlando, EPCOT first came onto the scene in 1982 and features an array of rides, attractions, and experiences. EPCOT is also home to the World Showcase, which consists of 11 countries. Along with the United States, visitors can experience the rich and interesting cultures of the United Kingdom, Norway, Morocco, Mexico, Japan, Italy, Germany, France, China, and Canada. In addition to the many great attractions, the World Showcase also features a variety of authentic cuisines and drinks that utilize tasty ingredients from their home countries.
Among the many restaurants and eateries sits a wine-lovers paradise, according to The Disney Food Blog. Les Vins de France exemplifies a genuine French experience thanks to its impressive wine selection. This quaint spot also offers champagne flights, which consist of three six-ounce servings of Nicolas Feuillatte, Moët & Chandon Imperial, and Veuve Clicquot Demi-Sec for $32 (as of February 2022). Visitors can also take home their favorite bottles or purchase wine by the glass. This wine shop is really just the tip of the iceberg, as the France pavilion is replete with many unforgettable dining establishments.
