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?
I genuinely loved that bc you can see how excited he was about the festival meals which is amazing
I'd watch that on Disney plus!! Other Disney chefs, might be fun too.
Chef Kevin made me even more excited to experience the fest ! I LOVE that they put so much planning, care and artistry into every dish!
Please do this @disney
We’d watch! We loved getting the chance to chat with him and hope we get more opportunities to share BTS with the MamFam!!
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!
He really does!
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.
🧡🧡🧡
Second that. Love the detailed description of the foods.
I live for Alan’s David Attenborough narrations. 😂
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!😊
Anyone else from the early squad predicting that Molly makes a beeline for the Crème de Brie?!
Dreams come true
Congrats on getting media previews. Much deserved. I’ve never gone to this festival, aiming for 2024. It looks amazing.
Molly describing her version of how the cold fashion was made was the laugh I needed today 😂😂😂
Hour long videos from you guys and DFB… I’m in heaven
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.
AN HOUR LONG MAMMOTH VID?!?!?!? YEP!!!!
“I believe they are different colors!” Made me laugh out loud. Thanks Alan!! Great review MAMFam!!
I just love how Alan comments on food! He is so knowledgeable and makes everything sound so good
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!
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.
Molly’s ears are so CUTE. I desperately need to see an ear collection.
That would be so fun, but I feel like it’ll be in a storage building because there’s no way they all fit in a closet.
molly saying "Yay! ... It's orange." made me laugh so hard
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.
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 TH-cam 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!
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!
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?
I love it when Alan does his narrator influencer in the wild voice 🤣
@@xandramack2438 me too! It's hilarious!
I didn’t know Alan had nice pipes!
It was in the 40s and super windy!
That is legit cold, not just Florida cold. I can’t believe you didn’t use it as an excuse to get new merch! 😂
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…
Congratulations on getting invited to the media preview!! As a Figment Stan this festival is on my bucket list. As is that bucket.
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!
Oh boy. That sounds like it’s very hard to do! Eating kosher only must be quite complicated at places like Disney or Universal. I applaud you for your efforts! I don’t think I could do it myself since I do love a good ham & cheese or a good turkey & cheese. And bread is essentially its own food group with my family!
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 💗
Can’t afford to go to Disney anytime soon so I’m living unashamedly vicariously through Mammoth Club’s videos 😂😅
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
Mollys figment is very cheeky! Enjoyed the in depth view of this festival you both did. Thank you. Mammoth club!
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!
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!
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. 😂
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!
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!!
I love hearing from the Disney chefs!! ❤
I would have totally put that "Velvety" bone marrow into the risotto. Genius move Molly. I bet it was amazing!
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!
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!
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!
I love Molly so much. Your personality really makes the videos light and fun. Love the dynamic between you two!!
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!
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
I’ve been waiting for this video!! Thanks as always for providing us with all the info! Cannot wait to go on the 31st!
😂😂😂 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 ❤️❤️❤️
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❤️
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!!
My FAVORITE, FAVORITE coverage of the festival!
47:41 Let’s Go! That Rainbow cake looks delicious! I would definitely positively try that in a heartbeat! Maybe the Pop Tart too but I’m not the biggest fan of them so I dunno. The Grape Smoothie isn’t a flavor I like that much but I’d be willing to try for science (and the collectible cup). Never had freeze dried Skittles before so I imagine that would be a very interesting experience!
49:18 Painter Figment! He looks so professional with his brushes, his hat, the bowtie, the palette! I want one as a stuffed animal please!
49:52 STITCH! AT THE BEACH! Making sandcastles! I want this one SO BAD! It’s beautiful and I love him!
51:04 Those were some of my favorite things growing up! I never understood how they worked! They are hilarious what people will do with them!
53:06 That is a correct response to citrus Molly. I rather like orange myself as well. That cake looks very good and the colors are Figment esque! Almost neon!
55:26 A triple berry smoothie, a very cool collectors cup AND a huge sugar cookie artist’s palette! YES!!! Sign me up! I love triple berry smoothies and sugar cookies! We have so many collectable cups in our kitchen and always getting more!
58:38 Your guys drawings look great! I’m not a drawer myself very much but I love this idea of drawing Figment in your own style!
1:02:27 - 1:02:33 I must call this out! DOGGO! Big fluffy doggo looks so cute!
Rainbow Connection is one of my absolute favorite Muppet songs! With a rainbow lightshow makes everything better! THIS VIDEO WAS THE AWESOME SAUCE!
I could watch y’all all day long!! Love the dynamic between the two of you.
LOL, just casually walking by other influencers. :)
You guys are amazing , thank you for all you do to make the day more magical!
Also "Lets Go Orange!!!"
Excellent job once again! You guys are great and as a proud Syracuse alum thanks to Molly for her “Orange!” Comment! 😂
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!!!
I love Alan's shirt with the Mam colours! Sometimes sleeves are good 😁
Love watching the best of the fest!!! Already excited to hear about the Flower and Garden festival 😶 we'll be there in May!
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.
I just love watching Alan and Molly together! #Goals
Watching you two slowly get drunk on rainbow beer and cheese is amazing. 😭😅
Also!! Is it possible to do all of this and get on some rides at the same time???
I am glad I was not the only one who notice. It was when they got the Deco Orange Moose is where Molly lost it "It's Orange" and laughed hysterically. Molly blamed it on the cold but I think not.🍺🍺🍺
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!
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 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!🎉
There are so many awesome foods at festivals in Epcot that it's so tough to decide where to eat at.
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.
Really appreciate you guys going to these events and trying literally everything, definitely helps people not waste their money and decide where to go
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! 💅🏻
I always watch while working out too! Time flies...
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.
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 😁😃
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
My daughter's were using one of our trash cans as a table the other day and I had to call my husband in to show him and sing the jingle lol. We both cracked up!
Thanks for taking us around festival of the arts
Gotta love the F.Arts. Really my favorite thing to hear about and experience. So fresh and invigorating after a long winter.
Molly+cheese made my day 😊
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
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. 😄
Fun time. Looks like the flights are kicking in at the 50:30 mark.
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 😊
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 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.
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!
Always always always the best Epcot festival video!! And I watch quite a few😂 love you guys
Loved hearing from the chef! That was cool! Thank you for sharing!
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!
Thank you Molly and Alan, all the food looked amazing.
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 ❤️✌🏼
Thank you for the help in deciding what to eat! We are heading to the festival next Saturday- can’t wait. Love you both.
I love to watch your reactions when you eat a food you love! You do such a great job of describing the food, and I always love your best of the feasts!
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 🤗
The katsu sando and green tomato grilled cheese are top of my list!
I generally take my vacations towards the end of the year, so I’ve only been to Food & Wine and Festival of Holidays.
But Farts is one that I’m SUPER excited to go to in the future. I’m going to try my hardest to go to WDW early 2024!
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!
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!!!
@Molly and I would be living our best lives with a Chinese food order! Always order, just to get the crab Rangoon...yum..gonna have to try and make it plant based..
I really enjoy how both of you describe the food and drinks.
Festival of the Arts is my favorite festival!! Thanks for a great video!
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...
As a Syracuse student, 52:58 made me giggle
Once again one of the best reviews on the festival..I love you guys
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!
Loved the video!! So excited to go to the festival for the first time in 18 days!! Thanks to this video I've narrowed down my list of things to try, and added the orange dessert from deco delights
I’ll be there too! So excited!!
Hey that’s me! 6:42
👋🏻
Cannot wait to go! We will be there next week!
Thank you so much for this. I will be down there on Sunday, and I am so excited to try some of these dishes.
