One second you're wiping away tears from that emotional aerial act, the next you're staring at a $40 notebook wondering if buying it will unlock your inner animator (spoiler: it won't, but you'll still buy it). This place has everything: shirts, hats, posters, mugs, and stuffed characters that look like they stepped out of an animator's fever dream. It's half "souvenir shop" and half "art exhibit curated by someone who just drank five Red Bulls." My favorite part is watching parents try to steer their kids past the juggling balls, because you know little Timmy is going to bean grandma in the head with them before you even make it back to the parking garage. Meanwhile, I'm over here debating if I need Cirque-branded socks (I don't, but they make me feel bendier just looking at them). Is it overpriced? Of course--it's Disney. But you can't really put a price on walking away with a piece of a show that reminded you why imagination matters. Okay, technically you can--$34.99 plus tax. Pro tip: If you don't buy anything, at least hang around long enough to watch other people try on the hats. It's its own comedy act, and unlike the show--it's free.

During our last trip to Disney World, we stayed at Disney's BoardWalk Inn (first time) and fell in…read morelove with Disney's BoardWalk. Who knew that an entertainment district themed after turn-of-the-century Mid-Atlantic boardwalks (e.g., Coney Island, NY and Atlantic City, NJ) would have so much appeal? Well for us, it did. It's really charming and intimate, especially when compared to other parts of Disney World, like the relatively gargantuan Disney Springs. So, along with the fun and unique "seaside" period atmosphere, its size and the fact that this part of Disney isn't crowded had a lot to do with our enjoyment of Disney's BoardWalk. There's a black-and-white photo inside the BoardWalk Inn of the Three Stooges during an appearance at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City in 1938. To me, that photo encapsulates the time period and atmosphere that I think Disney aspired to recreate at the BoardWalk, and I think Disney was successful, for the most part. Aside from the Inn (and the Innkeeper's Club), highlights here include the Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers, Screen Door General Store (for exclusive BoardWalk merch), and Atlantic Dance Hall (cool they have this art-deco music venue here). My wife and I would like to return and have dinner at restaurants Flying Fish (seafood) and Trattoria al Forno (Italian).

Therefore it was a no brainer that I would choose to visit the Les Halles Boutique De Cadeaux to go to the bakery inside. I had been there in my previous Disney World vacation and it did not disappoint either time. This time we actually tried some new stuff on the menu like the quiche with spinach and also the quiche with goat cheese. Mind you if you told me goat cheese was in there the first time I probably would have said sorry lets go with something else because I don't like goat cheese. Although I really stepped out of my comfort zone on this vacation and braved to try things I usually don't like and ate them for breakfast. You never know if something is good or not until you try it out. My husband of course has to have his dessert for breakfast so he got that chocolate cake I pictured. I got the creme brulee and the raspberry macaroon and I loved both. Especially the raspberry macaroon the raspberry's combined with the jelly make for a beautiful and scrumptious combination. The presentation was just to beautiful to eat, I really wanted to buy more just to take home! If your ever in the french pavilion go to the cafe in the Les Halles Boutique De Cadeaux it's the freshest and delicious bakery in all of Epcot! Don't take my word for it, try it now, like as soon as you enter the French Pavilion!

I've eaten here the last two trips to Walt Disney World - Epcot. The pastries here are to die for…read more Specifically, the chocolate brioche (my wife's favorite) and the chocolate hazelnut beignets (my favorite). On our last trip, my wife brought a 1-gallon ziplock bag with the intention of bringing some of the brioche home with us. We ate one here, one in our hotel room and two made it home with us. I heard they are actually open for breakfast, as the France Pavilion is open before the rest of the World Showcase. I had intended on doing that but I was hungry before we got there so I ate at the hotel. We did go here after riding Test Track and Mission Space. I wanted lunch and I got some kind of ham and cheese sandwich, but found the bread was a bit too tough. I wish I had tried the croque monsieur instead. But the beignet and brioche made up for it. The only complaint I have is there is not enough seating. If you have a table here, please don't loiter if you are done eating.

They have lots of options to choose from, though a little on the pricier side in my opinion. The selection is on the leaner side, but worth checking out if in the area.

A few things I liked:…read more * I was able to rent them at the last minute (like one day before I needed them). * They had a great selection and competitive pricing. I know because I shopped for comparison! * It was easy to pick a pick-up/drop-off time and communicate with the company. * They gave a discount for getting multiple strollers * The strollers came rain covers and thermal bags which was nice! Beyond that, I really appreciated the customer service. When we got the stroller, we got a quick and helpful showcase of how to use the strollers. Only took like 30 seconds but was very helpful for us! And finally, Stefon, who picked up our strollers was friendly, punctual - and going above and beyond - he ran back to me to give me back a small pair of sunglasses that I hadn't seen in the bottom of one of the strollers. All in all, a great experience and highly recommend them!
