The BEST Of EPCOT's Festival Of The Arts 2023 

Hereby launching a petition to get a Disney behind-the-scenes series led by Chef Kevin showing how they develop and create the festival menus. Love his energy. Who's with me?

Ok, listen, I am a choir director and Alan’s little “trash can table time jingle” is LOVELY and made me smile. Alan, you have a delightful singing voice!

Once again - hands down the most well presented and informative of all the many videos I've watched at this festival. It's just the little things like including the chef describing the dishes and all the other facts and research along with the great food reviews you guys provide us with, as well as being wholesome and hilarious! Great job!😊

Thanks for the detailed descriptions, your professionalism and your commitment to quality. Most other Orlando vloggers rushed in, ate a few foods (look Skittles cake), got their popcorn bucket and skedaddled out of there. Love you guys. Number one (hands down) best Orlando vloggers.

Anyone else from the early squad predicting that Molly makes a beeline for the Crème de Brie?!

I live for Alan’s David Attenborough narrations. 😂

Molly describing her version of how the cold fashion was made was the laugh I needed today 😂😂😂

Watching Molly unravel in the cold is something I didn’t know would bring me so much joy 🤣🤣 Who knew “yay, it’s orange” could be so damn funny

Congrats on getting media previews. Much deserved. I’ve never gone to this festival, aiming for 2024. It looks amazing.

AN HOUR LONG MAMMOTH VID?!?!?!? YEP!!!!

Hour long videos from you guys and DFB… I’m in heaven

I just love watching Alan and Molly together! #Goals

Aww I thought "yay! It's orange! :)" was so cute like that dish just looks so delicious and it also matches Molly's outfit I think it was totally warranted.

Molly’s ears are so CUTE. I desperately need to see an ear collection.

I just love how Alan comments on food! He is so knowledgeable and makes everything sound so good

I’m going to my first Festival of the Arts in a couple weeks and I am so happy this vid is out. Not only do we get to see Molly and Alan enjoy the fest, we get a media access interview interlude that just made me so happy for them. I have all their musts and loves saved to my list for my own festival attempt and can’t wait to enjoy the fun

Loved the interview with Chef Kevin. Thank you for including this. It was extremely interesting to me as a festival fan. Would love to see more interviews like this.

With you about the changes to figment! Told my husband about the ride /light tunnel all the way to the park. I cried and was mad all day. 😂

100% on the cold fashioned--the only beverage I have ever repeated from a festival booth honestly! So glad it came back this year.

Alan having that moment when you have something so tasty that you have to just laugh a little after he put the slaw on the sandwich is so relatable to me. I love that feeling. I really enjoy both Molly's and Alan's opinions on flavors.

“I believe they are different colors!” Made me laugh out loud. Thanks Alan!! Great review MAMFam!!

“Figment having omnipresence wouldn’t be on my 2023 bingo card but maybe it is” -my all time favorite Alan line. I laughed so hard. Thank you for that.

Thank you for being such a kind and beautiful person in-person lol! We got to meet you at Homecoming at Disney Springs this past Sunday (I made sure your food hadn’t come yet 😆) It was the start of our trip, my mom and I are such fans of your content! My husband spotted Alan and he was trying not to be a super fan, be he is 🤣. While at Epcot my husband would like “Alan said that wasn’t too good” or “Molly liked that so I’ll try it” 🤣🤣. He even wanted to see where you luxuriate by the tree of life in AK! 🤣 He even gets an attitude If I watch your videos without him! Anywho! Meeting you guys was definitely a highlight of our trip! We used all your tips and tricks and we had a blast! So ready for the next trip! Oh! And I’m talking to a woman on the Disney bus and I say “watch Mammoth Club on RU-vid if you want the best tips” she’s like “I started watching them!” I’m like “I just met them!!!” She was so geeked when I showed her the pic we took! So yeah, you’re super famous lol!

Congratulations on getting invited to the media preview!! As a Figment Stan this festival is on my bucket list. As is that bucket.

Shamelessly watching this now even though I usually wait for my husband to get home. Guess Im going to have to watch it twice because I just couldnt wait 😅 I love the chef interview!

My FAVORITE, FAVORITE coverage of the festival!

Loved the information provided by Chef Kevin. Wow, it never ceases to amaze me how much I learn from your videos! This is hands down my favorite EPCOT festival! Love watching and listening to you both talk about the food and the atmosphere! Cheese Cheers!

Can’t afford to go to Disney anytime soon so I’m living unashamedly vicariously through Mammoth Club’s videos 😂😅

I love hearing from the Disney chefs!! ❤

Thankyou Molly! Yes, Aristocats *doesn't* get enough credit! 💞 Alan, that 'slaw' is kimchi. It's the Asian (og Korean) version of sauerkraut. But you definitely ended on a high note for me. Kermit always puts a smile on my face 😁😃

We're going to Epcot this Friday (01/20) for the first time in about 20 years. We didn't even know this festival was happening when we booked the tickets. I was looking forward to the visit but I'm looking forward even more now!

I love these videos, I love to watch them while I eat a meal to help me eat in general Also Molly saying "we're just white people trying to use chopsticks" cracked me up, the self awareness and out of pocket stuff is so good Also wooo St Petersburg makes the festival again 😌 my home

Coming from Iowa to WDW in 2 days! So excited for the festival, especially being an 80’s Figment kid. We visited Epcot in July 1983 and I still have my stuffed Figment from that trip. It may have to come with me…

Mollys figment is very cheeky! Enjoyed the in depth view of this festival you both did. Thank you. Mammoth club!

It was nice hearing right from the chef and learning the thought process and how far in advance they work on things! love this video. it was a different side you normally wouldnt see!

I was able to get bags of freeze dried skittles from a local baker and gave them to my kids. They loved them and so do I! Delicious!

Just got back from a 5 parks in 3 days trip. I used your videos as my study guide - yes you need to study lol! Your advice was spot on and made our trip relaxing, fun, and enjoyable! We stayed at the swan for early access and late hours. You need special paper cards for late hours if you are at the swan as apposed to other Deluxe hotels, but the Disney cast members hear swan, and didn't even ask to see the passes. We only needed them for parking in the park at magic kindgdom. We did not use magic bands. Our phones were great and we found the wifi to be excellent. We also bought the express pass for the Islands of Adventure and Universal, which was amazing! The only disappointment was not getting on the Hagrid ride. The line was insane and not included in the express pass. We did genie plus and a 2 day park hopper at Disney. We did Hollywood Studios and Epcot. It was great to stay at the swan and take the water Taxi to and between the parks. Its annoying to have to pay for a 2 day park hopper when you only need one, so it would be nice if that would change. We stayed at the swan, so we did Remy and Frozen after hours which was great. I'm surprised how often the rides break down. We did pay extra for Guardians and Rise of the resistance because we didn't want to take a chance with the virtual Q since we don't live in Orlando, and if we flew all the way, the extra money for the guaranteed ride was worth it for peace of mind. Both rides are worth the $. It's just a shame to pay so much for Disney parks, Genie +, and then still pay more for rides not included - although if I could have paid extra to get on Hagrid at Universal I would have. An interesting glitch was we did Genie plus for thunder mountain and didn't realize that you need to check in twice with Genie plus for that ride. Most rides are just a one step check in for Genie plus. My husband wanted to get a new fast pass ride, but the app wouldn't let us, so he canceled thunder mountain thinking it was a glitch because we had already signed in to the ride. When we got to the top, they wouldn't let us in because it showed we canceled. We had to get off the line and go to customer service (who were wonderful), and they added thunder mountain back to our genie. We are kosher, and in universal the popcorn, hot pretzels, and many ice cream bars are kosher. People who keep kosher should always check first, but it was nice to have something to eat at Universal. It is a shame that the butterbeer is not kosher, and none of the Harry Potter candy is kosher. I was able to buy HP chocolate frogs in my local kosher market, so it's a shame that they aren't sold in Hoggsmead. Disney the popcorn, pretzels, churros, and many Geoffrey coffees are kosher, and the dole whip is kosher, but I'm not sure about the fancier dole whip items. I love watching all of your food content, but unfortunately we can't eat 99.9% of it. There is food available at the parks for kosher, but its more like airplane food, the wait is long, and it's crazy expensive. We eat a ton of popcorn, mickey bars, and hot pretzels. They do have lots of fresh fruit and hummus with pretzels to fill in. All in all, a huge thank you for everything you do!

So excited for this - I get to go to my first ever Festival of the Arts next week!

molly saying "Yay! ... It's orange." made me laugh so hard

I love Molly so much. Your personality really makes the videos light and fun. Love the dynamic between you two!!

Really enjoyed this video.. watched it twice to prep the trip. Short rib was best of feat for me! Watched a 3rd time just now to relive it all. Thanks!

😂😂😂 What I love most about your videos is how realistic your days seem. We are UK based so cold temperatures is pretty standard but we have been there where we've just had a day and been rained on and are cold and tired and we just laugh our way through 😂 Love it ❤️❤️❤️

So many great memories from attending this festival last year! Mushroom risotto was my favorite! Didn't get to try my carne asada last year because an evil bird flew down over my head and stole if off my plate!! Rainbow connection always makes me cry when I hear it!! Thanks for the awesome video!

This fest looks like so much fun! You helped us make our decision to plan our next trip for this time in the next few years. Love both of your takes on the food and beverages. Your interactions are so much fun! I liked that you were able to include the chef talking about dishes. Your banter over the marshmallow margarita was hilarious!

Yet another insightful, informative, and fun video. I love to get Molly and Alan's takes on all the food and drinks at these festivals because I know they'll be spot on. I really enjoyed seeing the artwork and the insight from the chef too. Festival of the Arts is now number one on my list to attend!!

Can we take a moment to appreciate Alan’s reactions to delicious eats? They are the best is every video, but his Wellington and marrow reactions gave me life. What a treasure!

I would have totally put that "Velvety" bone marrow into the risotto. Genius move Molly. I bet it was amazing!

There are so many awesome foods at festivals in Epcot that it's so tough to decide where to eat at.

I love you guys together! More of Alan singing please. 😍 The "two wh*te people trying to use chopsticks" and your description of the marshmallow margarita made me LOL. Please make a shirt that says "Yay! It's orange!" How cold was it that day?

Thanks for showing some of the chalk art in the different countries that was one thing I saw while researching and look forward to seeing in person aristocats in france was my favorite you showed thanks for all the detail great video!

Oh my what fun and your David Attenborough had me in fits. Best FARTS review so far.... informative and such fun, well done guys 🙂

I get the exact same thing from a Chinese restaurant! I always get General Tso's, Lo Mein and Crab Rangoon but I also add Pork Potstickers! I am going to the Festival today and I am looking forward to all the food and the chalk art!

I have seen some of the artists actually sign those postcards. I thought that was really cool especially when you are on a tight budget but want some art. Love these videos!!

Thank you for the help in deciding what to eat! We are heading to the festival next Saturday- can’t wait. Love you both.

Love that Alan can't say the word adorable without changing it to Adorabeezle Winterpop @23:40 🤣My husband and I say that too and I always thought we probably sound like crazy people from an outsiders perspective 😆 Further proof that we need to be BFFs, you guys are my people 💗

Thanks for taking us around festival of the arts

We are heading there next week. Thanks to your video, I've narrowed down a few of the foods on my list. Not only do I find your videos informative, but all three of you are entertaining (even though Max isn't in this one). Kudos to Mammoth Club!

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME! Thank you for always providing so much helpful, honest yet lighthearted views on Festival of the Arts and heck everything in general ❤️. One of the many reasons I love you guys. And side note that I've meant to make before and have forgotten but gold stars to Alan for his pronunciation of the Spanish foods. Amazing vlog! Hugs MAM Fam❤️

Could I love y'all more ???? From Alan's food descriptions and voiceovers ( life-giving haha!) to Molly's soul-deep love for her food and drink and her ........just HER..... You guys are my favorite thing on the internet ! This was a FABULOUS video!! I'll be watching it again! I was soooooo hoping my MAM fam would do a best of the fest since I am going in a few days, and OF COURSE y'all came through! I feel very prepared and SO excited! The only thing that could make it better is to run into you guys while I am there! Thanks for the lovely work you do, it makes my world a better place❤

as someone FROM Syracuse.....when Alan made the citrus comment I was like "yes yes I have" and the Molly said it too!

Oh how cute are those chalk art characters hiding all over the place. I didn't know they did that. It would be cool to see a video on all of the chalk art. Love ya'll's channel!!!

Really appreciate you guys going to these events and trying literally everything, definitely helps people not waste their money and decide where to go

I love Alan's shirt with the Mam colours! Sometimes sleeves are good 😁

I am heading to my first FARTS in Feb, so I have been watching multiple vloggers review the food/festival. This is the best and most entertaining coverage by far. This video made me want to get more of the festival food items than anyone else’s videos!🎉

Yay Mam Fam! 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️ This is my favorite fest and I can’t wait to see Molly dig into the food! 😃 Holy moly, I may have to go get me some risotto and then a cheese bread bowl today... those looked yumma!

I could watch y’all all day long!! Love the dynamic between the two of you.

Gotta love the F.Arts. Really my favorite thing to hear about and experience. So fresh and invigorating after a long winter.

This is my fourth Festival video and I like the budget challenge and the interview portion with Chef Kevin

Great job guys! I was making a list as you were going along of all the things I would like to try when we are there in a few weeks. Oddly enough, the list ended up being all desserts! lol

I LOOOOVED the interview with Kevin! Nice new layer to the content! Great video. Can't wait to make it out there and try the festival offerings.

Alan has such a pretty singing voice. 🎶

Wonderful reviews of each booth. Molly and Alan your palates are much more refined than other vloggers. Appreciate the nuisances you share bout each dish. Even if you don’t like the choice you are gracious about it. Thank you.

Excellent job once again! You guys are great and as a proud Syracuse alum thanks to Molly for her “Orange!” Comment! 😂

I’ve been waiting for this video!! Thanks as always for providing us with all the info! Cannot wait to go on the 31st!

❤❤❤MOLLY!!!! Can you make a video about spending your Birthday at Disney?! My daughter will be turning 8 when we go in 2024 and there’s so many options from dinner ideas, firework cruises, cakes.. a narrowed down list of your top recommendations would be awesome! ❤❤❤❤

I followed Molly over from All Ears as she was my favorite on the channel for years but who knew we needed Alan in the videos too! I love his “characters” and different take on the same foods as well as the fun and jokes between them. Absolutely excellent video on the festival. Best one I’ve seen! Every minute was a great watch and also, the extra time to show stuff no one else is talking about was fantastic.

Love watching the best of the fest!!! Already excited to hear about the Flower and Garden festival 😶 we'll be there in May!

"YAY - IT'S ORANGE" - Molly, quote of the century LOL

My husband and I watch every single show you post and I must say your content is AMAZING. SO.MUCH.DETAIL. And joy. Thank you! Wonderful job ❤️

Mulan is my favorite princess too. Has been since I was a little girl!! And definitely one of my top Disney movies overall. Mulan is the OG badass

Watching this while working out was a great motivator 😂 You two do such a wonderful job at covering food, I love these videos so much! Also Molly’s nail colors are beautiful and I’m def going to take inspo from them! 💅🏻

This video makes my Best of the Fest list! I can’t wait to try some of the dishes you’ve highlighted. I use the gift card tip all the time.

Thank you Molly and Alan, all the food looked amazing.

I'm really excited that we'll be there for the last couple days of this festival! I have SO MUCH food I wanna try 😊

I just wanted to let you guys know you are the cutest couple and every video I’ve watched of you guys you can just feel the love! I hope I’ll be that lucky as you guys one day!

I went to the fest on Friday. It was so cold and so crowded. I saw you guys painting the wall. I hope to try again this Friday.

Had been eagerly awaiting this video! Heading to the festival next weekend for the first time & I have found Molly’s recommendations to be spot on for Flower & Garden and Food & Wine! So I know I’ll be eating good when I arrive!

Love that you included the head chef in your video to give a peak behind the curtain regarding the food being presented at the festival. Loved this!!!

Hate to be a Debbie Downer but I take exception to Figment being called a “fan” favorite. I am a very long standing Disney fanatic. I have a picture of me in front of the Disneyland castle in 1955 as a small child. I never ever heard of Figment until I made a trip to WDW when I was 50 and saw this strange purple creature. I just noticed him mind you but didn’t really understand who he was until I started watching Molly’s videos at the start of Covid. I think he should be called a Florida fan favorite. Other then that, the festival looks beautiful and the food fantastic! Thanks Alan and Molly!

Idk how I’m gonna feel about that Bone Marrow but I’m gonna force myself to try it. I’m with Alan I can’t believe they serve something like that in a theme park festival lol

Love the Urban Artifact Brewery representation here 🍻.Come to Cincinnati and do a brewery/food tour. I’ll show you around!

Loved hearing from the chef! That was cool! Thank you for sharing!

I love your food reviews so much! I appreciate your honesty and your descriptions of the flavors are so valuable. I would love to see you guys visit some more 'fancy' restaurants: whether it's places in theme parks like Takumi Tei or even outside of the parks!

Thanks for trusting me with all the secrets! I would love to try those beers! The food looks yummy too. Love watching, thank you for the videos ❤️✌🏼

Awesome videos guys! It makes my day when I see you have posted a new video. My wife and I are going to Disney in September and I can't wait. 😄

We will be at the festival at the end of the month! It is one of my favorites! I am looking forward to the food, the color and the art! Thanks for giving us a preview...

Have been waiting for this video. I love that you included the chef describing how the festival menu is put together. I've not seen any other channels include this and as someone who used to work in the food industry I appreciate the behind the scenes knowledge. You guys are the best!

Great video guys! We look forward to your tours of all the entertainment around Florida. We're heading to the Harry Potter exhibition in Atlanta this weekend because we saw your video 🤗

Seriously fangirling: those rainbow ears are the first ones I caved and bought! We love y'all, watch all your videos, and Molly, Alan, and Max are household names for us! Or "Can we watch 'Mahwee'?"- my preschooler. 🥰🫶

We love you Molly and Alan!! ☺️ Thanks for the great new content, you make me want to go to this festival!
