Explore Tinker Bell's Magical Nook

 

 

tik485422SMALL

The Nook is a new character meet-and-greet area created by Tink and her friends, who brought a cutting from the Home Tree in Pixie Hollow and planted it here in Adventureland. The cutting took root and – with a little pixie dust – grew to become a place that’s nothing short of magical.

Take a step inside and you’ll queue through an area lined with pictures that celebrate the gang’s favorite pixie pals and places. Be sure to look for a picture of the Home Tree here, which transforms to reveal different images of Tinker Bell and friends. 

Next, you’ll head through a porthole of glittering grass that shrinks you down to fairy size, then into an area that’s filled with flowers, trees and leaves – not to mention a few “lost” items the fairies have collected from the human world, including a full-size tea cup.

Tinker Bell will regularly greet guests here, and help them discover their inner fairy talent. One of Miss Bell’s friends, Vidia, Rosetta, Silvermist, Fawn, Iridessa, and Terrence also may stop by to join in on the fun. 

For the most up-to-date information on Tinker Bell’s Magical Nook visiting times, pick up a Magic Kingdom Park Times Guide at the theme park entrance.

16th Epcot International Food & Wine Festival: A Passport to a World of Flavors September 30 to November 13 2011

Exotic cocktails will pair like a tropical daydream with fresh new tastes from more than one island paradise at the 16th Epcot International Food & Wine Festival September 30 through November 13, 2011, at Walt Disney World Resort.

 

The one-of-a-kind 45-day festival serves up international cuisine, culture and entertainment from six continents, with more than 25 international marketplaces featuring tapas-sized portions paired with beer, wine and inventive new cocktails.

 

Marketplace tasting menus offer variety and adventure for guests on a mission to tantalize their taste buds during a scenic stroll around the 40-acre World Showcase Lagoon. The adventure can take them to the festival's first Hawaii marketplace, which will cook up Kalua pork sliders and tuna poke with seaweed salad and lotus root chips to team with a refreshing Seven Tiki Mai Tai or a Kona Longboard or Pipeline beer.

 

A new Caribbean Islands marketplace will serve ropa vieja with rice and jerk-spiced chicken with mango salsa. A beverage menu featuring a frozen Dragon Berry Colada and frozen Rock Coconut Mojito is sure to conjure steel-drum fantasies.

 

With a swing across the Atlantic, guests will be transported to the new Portugal marketplace, where the Portugal Wine Bar will offer best sips to pair with calamari salad with olives and smoked paprika. The Scandinavia marketplace will return after a hiatus with a fresh new Xante Sunshine cocktail made from Xante pear and cognac liquer. And the Canada marketplace will introduce a sweet treat: apple ice wine.

 

Disney and celebrity chefs will team with winemakers and brew masters from around the world to get the party started Sept. 30. During the six-week festival, guests will discover:

Three new tasting marketplaces -- Hawaii, Caribbean Islands and Portugal -- plus new menu offerings at popular returning marketplaces

 

Celebrity chef appearances starring top culinarians like Jeff Henderson, Cat Cora, Alan Wong, Gale Gand, Suvir Saran, Jamie Deen, Rock Harper, Celina Tio, Robert Irvine, Andrew Zimmern, Buddy Valastro, Warren Brown, Art Smith, Keegan Gerhard and more.

 

First-ever HGTV home entertaining seminars each Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

 

The Cranberry Bog display by Craisins telling the story behind the venerable cranberry's rich agricultural heritage.

 

Daily wine seminars, bottle signings, author events and culinary demonstrations at the Festival Welcome Center.

 

Eat to the Beat! concerts three times nightly at America Gardens Theatre
