food IS a theme park
It seems like almost everything at Disney World is under construction.

If something at Disney World isn’t getting repainted, it’s probably getting refurbished, decked out, and more. And it’s all to make the parks look spectacular for the upcoming 50th anniversary celebration!
We’re back with all the unexpected things that happened in Disney World this week!
Halloween in Magic Kingdom!
This week, Disney World’s Halloween event, BOO Bash After Hours, kicked off, and we also received announcements from Disney regarding their upcoming holiday party and a new EPCOT restaurant. Let’s get into it!
We’re back at EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival for some MORE food booths!
International Food and Wine Festival
We woke up to a VERY nice surprise today! Some EPCOT Food and Wine booths that were not supposed to open until October 1st on Disney World’s 50th anniversary, decided to open today! So of course, we’re celebrating early by grabbing some food! The festival started back in July, so we’ve been eagerly awaiting the opening of these booths. One of those is a returning favorite — Spain!
The 2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is in full swing and even more booths full of delicious eats are coming on October 1st!
Alps Booth is open!
Although there are several weeks to go before October 1st, a couple of booths had a surprise opening TODAY. We headed over to The Alps booth, which is a returning booth, for its early opening!
Hello from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Time to Visit Hollywood Studios
It may only be August, but Hollywood Studios is celebrating Halloween in a big way with tons of snacks and a specialty dining experience. We’ve also spotted some new merchandise items here recently, some of which are made especially for Marvel fans. Ready to see what’s new at Disney’s Hollywood Studios? We’re breaking it all down for you here!
We’ve been enjoying this year’s EPCOT Food and Wine Festival (well, we enjoy it EVERY year)!
Refreshment Outpost
While we’ve been busy snacking on an Apple Crumble Tart, a Sriracha Chicken Donut, and Schinkennudeln, we’ve been missing one festival staple — the almighty Dole Whip. When the festival first started, Dole Whip at EPCOT was nowhere to be found! Until now… .
Hello from Walt Disney World!

So, here’s a look at all the average wait times in Disney World from this week.

Before we get into the poll results, here’s a quick rundown of what you get with your reservation aboard the Galactic Starcruiser!
