Holiday Shopping in Walt Disney World

Shopping for Christmas gifts in Walt Disney World is a year round activity for me. I enjoy slipping away from the group for some alone time to browse the shops or strolling and window shopping with the family, especially in The World Showcase at Christmastime. 

The decorations are beautiful with garlands, bows and lights on just about everything. The shop windows are decorated for the season too with seasonal themes and merchandise.
Perfect gifts can be found everywhere, like these "Precious Moments" Disney Princess dolls by Linda Rick (when I was there she was signing them) at Epcot in the American Pavilion for $40 each. Aren't they sweet?

For the adults on the list, German Gluhwein? I just loved the decorative bottles

One of my favorite places to shop is in the German Pavilion. The quaint little shops are a great place to browse with a stop in Karamell-Kuche, of course. The Der Teddybar shop offers Steiff bears, toy soldiers and knights, candies and German crafted dolls. I just loved this bear on the tree, not one of the famous Steiff bears. They are up high on a shelf.Do you have a Christmas Pickle on your tree? The Christmas shop, Die Weihnachts Ecke is where I found my Christmas pickle. Tradition has it that the pickle ornaments in Germany are the last ornaments parents put on the tree on Christmas Eve. The bury it deep in the tree to hide it. In the morning the lucky child who finds the pickle receives an extra gift from St. Nicholas.

Disney Parks Apple Strudel Recipe



Today I'm happy to share one of my favorite Disney Recipes ~ Disney Parks Apple Strudel
Preparing and enjoying foods found in the Disney Parks is a great way for us to stay focused on the Disney magic in between trips!
Apple Strudel, is a Foodie Fare find from the German Pavilion in Epcot. 
Served with Karamel Sauce and Vanilla Sauce, it is delicious! 
The recipe can be found in the fabulous Cooking With Mickey Volume II. It is the recipe from Cafe Villa Verde in the Disneyland Hotel using filo dough. 
In addition, I've included a fun Disney Parks video demonstration of the recipe below. 

Apple Strudel with Filo Dough


Yield: 1 strudel
Preheat oven to 400º


Ingredients:


1 pound apples, thinly sliced
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
5 sheets filo dough
1/2 cup butter, melted
Whipped cream or custard sauce
*optional ingredients:
1/4 cup raisins or cranberries
1/2 teaspoon Apple Pie Spice


Peel and core fresh apples. Cut each into wedges, then into thin slices.
 


Combine cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle with two thirds of the cinnamon and sugar mixture and mix lightly. Mix in Apple Pie Spice and cranberries or raisins. Set aside.


On a clean kitchen towel, put a single layer of filo dough. Brush with melted butter.
Place another sheet of dough on top and repeat, until all five have been layered with butter.
Keep filo dough under a moist kitchen towel after the package is opened and while working.
Place apple mixture on upper third of filo dough layers.
Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon and sugar mixture and roll dough, using the kitchen towel to lift the dough as tightly as possible around the apples.



Place rolled dough, seam side down on a buttered baking sheet and brush with remaining butter. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and sugar on the top of the roll.


Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve hot with whipped cream or custard sauce.


Now for the video demonstration courtesy of Disney Parks...
