WHAT A DAY! It’s the very first day of our favorite time of year at Disney Food Blog: ’tis the season for the 2024 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, which is running now through November 23rd, 2024!
But even as we’ve spent the entire day bringing you full reviews of ALL of the Festival’s Global Marketplace Food Booths, checked out the scene at this year’s Eat to the Beat Concert Series, ate ALL. THE.CHEESE. and more, the day is not over yet, my friends. It’s time to cap off this terrific day with a special show that takes place nightly at Spaceship Earth throughout the Festival!
You see, when Walt Disney World celebrated its 50th Anniversary in October 2021, Spaceship Earth was enhanced with nighttime lighting that ended up as a permanent addition to the park. What isn’t permanent, however, is that the nighttime shows change right along with EPCOT’s seasonal Festivals!

Over the past few years, Spaceship Earth’s Food & Wine Festival show has been inspired by Beauty and the Beast, featuring the beloved song “Be Our Guest.” It’s EPCOT’s way of inviting you to partake in all of the flavorful fun that the Food and Wine Festival brings. This year, the show is filled with fun designs and plenty of bright colors! And yes, that iconic “Be Our Guest” song is BACK for 2024.
During our visit, “Be Our Guest” played as Spaceship Earth lit up in different colors and patterns in sync with the memorable tune.
To catch the show during your Festival visit, you don’t have to worry about being in World Celebration at a specific time. The show begins when it gets dark outside and plays several times throughout the evening through park close.
