Table is Set for Exciting Dining Additions Coming to Epcot

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Two exciting additions are coming to Epcot World Showcase, with culinary expansions under way at the Italy pavilion and Mexico pavilion.

In Italy, an authentic Neapolitan pizzeria is under construction with opening planned for fall 2010 in time for the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival.  Operated by Patina Restaurant Group, the same restaurateurs who run the pavilion’s Tutto Italia Ristorante, the 300-seat pizzeria is inspired by Naples 45, another Patina Restaurant Group pizzeria on East 45th Street in New York City.  

The casual pizzeria will feature wood-burning ovens – and will import water from a source that most resembles the water in Naples, Italy, home of some of the world’s best pizza dough.  The menu also will feature pastas, salads, sandwiches and Italian wines.

The 14,000-square-foot space will include indoor and outdoor dining.  

At Mexico, the popular Cantina de San Angel restaurant is expanding, and will feature 400 seats with al fresco seating for lunch and a perfect place for viewing “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth,” the nightly Epcot fireworks spectacular. 

The restaurant will feature south-of-the border creations from the culinary team at San Angel Inn LLC, who have run both the outside eatery and the pavilion’s San Angel Inn for more than 25 years.  Opening also is set for fall 2010.

La Nouba by Cirque du Soleil Adds ‘Happy Hour’ to the Party

World-Renowned Juggler Joins the 90-Minute Show at Downtown Disney
 
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (Jan. 29, 2010)La Nouba by Cirque du Soleil announced today that an incredible new act featuring world-renowned juggler Anthony Gatto will be added permanently to the 90-minute spectacle at Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World Resort beginning Feb. 5, 2010.
 
Anthony Gatto comes to La Nouba from the tour of KOOZA by Cirque du Soleil and holds 11 world records in juggling.  In the nine-minute act, Gatto juggles balls, hoops and clubs in unprecedented numbers at amazing speed with seemingly impossible accuracy.
 
Gatto joins the ranks of professional athletes, dancers, vocalists, musicians and comedic performers in the cast of 67 artists in the incredibly creative and dynamic gem La Nouba
 
“Anthony is a true showman and we are pleased to have him join the dedicated and talented cast of La Nouba.  The juggling act is fast-paced and will add to the energy on stage,” said Neil Boyd, company manager.  “This act is an amazing new addition for our fans that come to see the show year after year.”
 
Time magazine calls Gatto, “simply the best juggler ever.”
 
The new act is entitled “cinq-a-sept” which means “five-to-seven,” generally known as “happy hour.”  This fits well with the meaning of La Nouba – “to party” or “live it up.” 
 
This new act replaces the chair balancing act in the show.
