We’re back with another fun review from the 2013 Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
The festival has already been going strong for over a week, and we have lots of favorites to bring you — some returning, and some brand new!
I know you are just as excited to Eat AND Drink Your Way Around the World at the festival’s Marketplace Booths as we are here at Disney Food Blog!
Today, we’re heading to two of my favorite stops on the journey around World Showcase — Hawai’i and Ireland!
Introduced only a couple of years ago, Hawai’i has quickly become a fan favorite with hearty dishes and fun drinks.

Fans of the Hawai’i booth are happy to see that two food favorites have returned in 2013! There are also some great beverage choices here.
Kona Brewing Company beers Big Wave Golden Ale and Pipeline Porter are returning. But last year’s Chardonnay is replaced by a Gewurztraminer in the wine category (YUM!). Cocktail lovers can enjoy a brand new vodka-based option!

We are looking forward to the 2013 Epcot Food and Wine Festival! Mark your calendars, as the festival kicks off on September 27 and will run through November 11.
And we know that you are just as anxious as we are to hit the ground at this year’s festival and try old favorites as well as new dishes!
Today, we’re offering a preview of two of the most popular Marketplace Booths — Canada and Ireland. While some cult classic dishes return, both locations are offering a few new things as well.
The Canada booth returns in 2013, and the classic Cheddar Cheese Soup remains on the menu, thank goodness!

Seriously, there would probably be demonstrations and boycotts if the soup didn’t make the cut!

But last year, the “Le Cellier” Wild Mushroom Beef Filet Mignon with Truffle Butter Sauce joined the lineup. The dish — which just happens to be one of my all-time favorites — ended up being THE most popular festival dish of 2012!
