food IS a theme park
“Aloha” from the 2020 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival!
A Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
From the Funnel Cake Stand to the Islands of the Caribbean booth, we’ve been tasting our way around the Food & Wine Festival booths in the now reopened EPCOT! And we’re not finished yet! We stopped by the Hawai’i Booth to see what they had to offer!
SURPRISE! The 2020 Epcot Food and Wine Festival, which is starting earlier than ever before, opened even EARLIER during Cast Member Previews (and we’re not even the slightest bit mad about it).
Germany Food Booth
While we’re gearing up to bring you the foodie news of your dreams with reviews of ALL the booths at the festival this year, we’re taking a trip around the World Showcase to the sweet corner of the Germany booth!
Just before Disney’s Riviera Resort reopened, we learned its character breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace would be the ONLY returning character meal at Walt Disney World and would include a few modifications.
It’s Minnie!
Other traditional character meals such as Trattoria al Forno‘s Bon Voyage Adventure Breakfast would resume, but not have any characters for the time being. Even though Disney World had told us all character dining would resume at a later time, we were SHOCKED when we learned that EPCOT’s Garden Grill would be reopening — with characters!
Can you believe how many food booths we’ve already tried at A Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival?
2020 Hops and Barley
Neither can we, but our pants still have a little give to them, so we must keep movin’ on! Now we’ve just arrived at the American Adventure pavilion to see what patriotic foods and drinks we can spot at this star-spangled food booth, Hops and Barley!
We’re making our through all the food and drink booths EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival!
Refreshment Outpost
Next stop: Refreshment Outpost! We always like to stop by this booth at ALL of EPCOT’s Festivals, so we were extra curious to see how this booth would measure up at this year’s “Taste of Food and Wine.”
We stopped by EPCOT to see what was new since the parks temporarily closed in mid-March, and lo and behold, the 2020 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival has begun!
Islands of the Caribbean
So, now that the festival is in full swing, we had to stop by Islands of the Caribbean! This booth is returning from last year so we were anxious to see what was in store for this year!
After being closed since mid-March, today Disney’s Hollywood Studios officially reopened for guests!
Woody says, “Howdy!” at Toy Story Land!
We snagged a Disney Park Pass reservation so we could see what it’s like to spend a day in the park with the new health and safety measures in place. And that includes experiencing the rides and attractions! Here’s what it was like to ride Toy Story Mania in the recently reopened Hollywood Studios.
Walt Disney World’s EPCOT reopened to guests today, and along with the reopening of the park itself came the kickoff of the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival!
2020 Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
And as we’ve been eating our way around every single Festival Marketplace in World Showcase (and World ShowPlace — which you can check out here), we couldn’t help but notice a couple of additional food booths that are NOT serving guests or even mentioned on the list of this year’s booths… yet.

Morocco
We finally made it to the Morocco Pavilion which featured one of our FAVORITE dishes of the day, if not the entire festival. Keep reading…we’ll fill you in!
We’re back at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge during the grand reopening of Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Line
We’ve been checking out what’s new and different since Disney World reopened. We kicked back with a Carbon Freeze at Oga’s Cantina and battled the First Order on Rise of the Resistance. Now, we’re ready to pilot the fastest hunk o’ junk in the galaxy and tell you all about it. [Read more…]
