food IS a theme park
If you think you can go a week without any big or unexpected Disney news, you’d be wrong.
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
Another week, another round of surprises straight from the most magical place on Earth! We’ve got some exciting announcements, big changes for Genie+, and several openings coming SOON. Are you ready for all this news?
Sorry, EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival — you’re old news. We’ve moved on to the 2022 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival!
Festival Passports
Okay, okay, Flower and Garden is still running through July 4th, and we know the Food and Wine Festival doesn’t kick off until July 14th…but there’s nothing wrong with planning ahead, right?! And if you’re traveling from far away to attend this festival, there are a lot of things to keep in mind when planning your trip — including when the booths open. (As we saw in 2021, not every booth opens when the festival begins.) This year FOUR booths are opening late, so we’re sharing the list of booths that will not open until August 15th!
This week, Disney gave us tons of news about the 2022 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, and we couldn’t help but notice what was missing from the announcements.
2021 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
While there’s a lot to be excited about (Eat to the Beat is BACK!), there are still some classic events and experiences that weren’t included in any announcements (yet). We haven’t seen most of these missing events since 2019 but it’s still possible that some of them may be back for 2022! Let’s go over everything not yet confirmed to return!
The EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival will be starting before we know it! It kicks off on July 14th this year, and we’re SO EXCITED.
Food and Wine!
We know about the booths at the festival, as well as some returning activities, like the legendary Cheese Crawl! The Eat to the Beat Concert Series is also returning to the festival this year, and along with it, dining packages are coming back, too. So get ready, because you’ll be able to book these dining packages VERY soon!
We’re already thinking about what new eats await us at the 2022 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival!
We’re ready!
Disney just announced the food booths for this year’s fest and we’ve spotted some returning favorites and exciting new ones, too. And now, we know exactly what dishes will be part of the 2022 Food & Wine Festival cheese walk!
Nobody panic but…Boyz II Men are coming back to EPCOT soon!
Festival Passports
That’s right folks, Disney had already confirmed dates for the International Food & Wine Festival for 2022, some returning booths, and the return of things like the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, but today we got a look at part of the Eat to the Beat Concert line-up and we have a feeling some of these acts are ones that fans will be THRILLED to see!
We are SO excited for this year’s Food and Wine Festival in EPCOT!
Food and Wine!
And luckily, we won’t have to wait until the fall, because the festival is starting in the summertime again like it has in the past few years. All of the fun will kick off on July 14th, 2022. And, we have some exciting news, because the FOOD BOOTHS were just announced for this year’s Food and Wine Festival!
If you’re a Disney World fan, you probably know about the wonders that are EPCOT Festivals. There is a festival running in EPCOT almost every day of the year at this point!
EPCOT sunsets are EXTRA beautiful!
The year starts with EPCOT Festival of the Arts, then EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, then EPCOT Food and Wine Festival (the BIG one), and ends with EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. No matter the fest, there are a lot of food and drinks to try and that can get EXPENSIVE — so, how should YOU budget?
It might only be May, but EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival is coming up sooner than you think!
Food and Wine 2021
The festival begins on July 14th and runs all the way until November 19th, 2022. We already know about some of the returning food booths, and we know that the Eat to the Beat concert series and Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeek will be coming back. While July might seem far away right now, Disney will be getting ready sooner than you think, and one of those preparations includes closing an attraction!
