Foodie Flights at Disney

Every foodie enjoys flights.  Most newbies relate to the common wine flight.  Others who may have furthered their education with Jancis Robinson’s wine course or who have dabbled into the unknown and out of their comfort zone may have tried other libations.

What is a flight?  A flight is a sample sized tasting comparison of three or more similar libations.  For instance, three red wines may be considered a flight.  You could also have a very specific flight such as a comparison of three red cabernet sauvignon wines from the same vintage year, from three different wineries in the same region.

Disney has them all, from wine flights, to scotch flights, to tequila flights, to even sake wine flights.  If you look hard enough beyond the teacup rides and the family vacation fun spots you will find a refine and sophisticated oasis for adults to indulge and escape from the monotony of Kodak approved picture spots.

Tokyo Dining and Teppan Edo sake flights

The Japanese pavilion offers two restaurant styles from Teppan-yaki style dining (at Teppan Edo) to a standard dining room style (in Tokyo dining).  Both offer sake flights with three samples from sweet to medium to dry.  I will post details from my next visit with regards to pricing and specifics.
