While we’ve already shared this year’s booths and menus (yaaas!), as well as some new merch for the year, we had the opportunity to check out a few of the NEW booth items.
If you’re celebrating any part of the holiday season at Epcot, then you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays from November 29th through December 30th!

And a HUGE part of the Festival of the Holidays is the global cuisine available throughout the park at Holiday Kitchens — also known as Food Booths.
Welcome to Festival of the Holidays!
This year, the Holiday Kitchens will once again be found around World Showcase and throughout the rest of Epcot. These kitchens will continue to offer tastes of the holidays representing seasonal traditions around the world.
There are 13 Holiday Kitchens this year along with a few additional offerings.
If you’re already missing the Cheese Fondue from the Bavaria Holiday Kitchen at the 2018 Epcot Festival of the Holidays, we have GREAT news! You can now order Beer Cheese Fondue at Disney’s Blizzard Beach!

We’re paying a visit to the Train Village and seeing how the miniature town is celebrating the park’s current Festival — the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays — with its own itty bitty Festival of the Holidays banners! [Read more…]
We brought you to the first day of Epcot’s International Festival of the Holidays LIVE here on DFB, and today, we’ve got even more details about one of the Festival’s new experiences: the Cookie Stroll!

The Epcot International Festival of the Holidays is ON!
This annual Epcot Festival just kicked off today and runs through December 30, 2018. And in addition to over a dozen international food booths, guests will be entertained by Holiday Storytellers and the Candlelight Processional, which share cultural traditions for the holidays around the world.

Returning this year is Chip & Dale’s Christmas Tree Spree — a festive kid-friendly Scavenger Hunt similar to Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt from the Food and Wine Festival. Only for the holidays, we’re helping Chip & Dale collect ornaments to decorate their Christmas Tree.
As I was taking in the sights, sounds, and tastes of the Epcot Festival of the Holidays, I took a little detour into Epcot’s Germany Pavilion.

I was passing through the Weinkeller when something caught my eye: a small grouping of Glühwein Chocolate Bars by Schwermer.
It’s a global Celebration of the Season at the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays!!
Epcot International Festival of the Holidays
This new Epcot Festival just kicked off today and runs through December 30, 2017. All of the elements of Holidays Around the World (the previous name for Epcot’s annual celebration) have returned, including International Holiday Storytellers and food booths around World Showcase.

The Candlelight Processional will begin nightly performances starting November 24th as will the expanded Peace on Earth holiday version of IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth.
Brand new this year is Chip & Dale’s Christmas Tree Spree — a festive Scavenger Hunt similar to Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt from the Food and Wine Festival. Only this time, were helping Chip & Dale collect ornaments to decorate their Christmas Tree.
But BEST OF ALL… the HOLIDAY FOOD BOOTHS are back! Better yet, these yuletide Food Booths (similar to the Food and Wine Festival’s Marketplace Booths), which debuted in 2016, have expanded greatly from last year’s seven booths.
So we’ve got LOTS to see and TASTE as we check out the Best of the FESTat the Epcot Festival of the Holidays! And you might as well get your stretchy Thanksgiving pants out NOW, is all I’m sayin’…
In case you had any doubt, the Disney Holiday Season is ON! We spent yesterday at the soft opening for the Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure on the west coast. But today, the elves on the east coast are getting ready for the celebration, too… because the MENUS are up for the Holiday Kitchens coming to the 2017 Epcot International Festival of the Holidays kicking off on November 19th!
