We were blown away by this. It’s fantastic. The thick serving of lobster is perfectly paired with the butter, which offers just enough hint of lime to make it unique. This is one of the best savory dishes we’ve ever had at an EPCOT festival.

The two new dishes here are both huge successes. This is the best Cuban sandwich we’ve had. Everything was balanced and fresh.

Florida Strawberry Shortcake – $5.00

The shortcake proved to be much harder than we thought it would be. It’s very crunchy, because it’s far too hard. It tastes like a stale cookie. The whipped cream is almost flavorless. It has too much salt; we don’t even feel like we’ve eaten a dessert. Salty but sweet can work, but this is on the opposite end of the spectrum.  It’s stale, hard, and gross. This is one of the worst items we’ve had in all our years of reviewing festivals. We could make this better at home.

Cucumber Watermelon Slushy (Non-Alcoholic) – $5.00

There are a lot of cucumber-heavy drinks this year. Those who enjoy cucumber drinks may enjoy this, but our group wasn’t partial to any of the cucumber-forward options.

It has a strong cucumber flavor. It’s a little sharp but refreshing. The gin gives it a slight improvement over the non-alcoholic version.
