Less than a week ago, Glow With The Show ear hats debuted at Walt Disney World during a Fantasmic performance.

Kid-friendly foods at Epcot International Food and Wine Festival

Posted on
Although my elementary-school-age kids are like most others, a little bit of Disney magic this time of year turns them into discerning foodies.
