food IS a theme park
Hello 👋 to all our DFB friends from EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
We walked around the park on Halloween to see if we could spot any new stuff, so here’s what we found!
We’ve been munching on tasty Halloween treats all season long in preparation for the spookiest day of the year! Now that it’s officially “All Hallows’ Eve,” we’re able to try even MORE limited-time snacks, available today only!
Candy Corn Cupcake
So far, EPCOT has had the least to offer in terms of spooky treats this Halloween season. But overnight, the park added a few new items, including a Halloween Sugar Cookie, Nemo & Squirt’s Noggin Concoction, and even their own Halloween Cupcake to take part in the celebration!
We were treated to a surprise at the EPCOT Cast Member Preview today — some of the festival marketplaces for the upcoming A Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival were OPEN!

So, of course, we took advantage of the chance to snag all the festival eats we could get! After a hiatus, the Desserts and Champagne marketplace has made its way back to Food & Wine — and we couldn’t wait to taste all of the sweet treats they’re serving up!
We’re with some friends at the Cast Member Preview for the reopening of EPCOT AND EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival. We’re reporting on the new procedures for old-favorites like Spaceship Earth and experiencing new processes like the Digital Guidebook.

Disney has now integrated virtual lines for gift shops to reduce crowding and will continue to use a modified version for Rise of the Resistance in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We just learned that four Food and Wine booths at EPCOT will be accessed using virtual queues at Food and Wine Festival. [Read more…]
Happy 20th Anniversary of the Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
We’re celebrating the best way we know how, with a trip all over Epcot to bring you the best of the best from the 2015 Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
It was a tough job gathering all of the goodies and pricing for you at each of the Marketplace Booths for this year’s festival, but hey… somebody’s gotta do it. Of course, we needed a little sustenance along the way ;). What better excuse to Eat and Drink our Way Around the World again this year!
Then, come on back to see our must-buys among the new items at the 2015 Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
Well, whaddya know… along with the Le Cellier Beef Filet and Cheddar Cheese Soup, the Canada Booth can claim even more bragging rights with the return of the Chicken Sausage with creamy polenta and Minus 8 Onion Jam.
Chicken Sausage with Creamy Polenta and Minus 8 Onion Jam
This was a favorite of mine back when it was on the menu at Le Cellier, and I was super excited to see it make its way to the festival back then. Sweet, savory, and with just a bit o’ heat, we’re glad it made its way back after being on hiatus for a couple years! [Read more…]
We’re almost through all of the 2010 Epcot Food and Wine Festival booths, but here are a few more food pics to share! As always, if you want to see full coverage of each booth — including food pictures, menus, and pricing — check out our Epcot Food and Wine Festival Booth Pages!

Argentina
Argentina’s roasted corn and cheese empanada smells incredible and tastes even better. So far, it’s one of my winners from the festival! You can see more pictures, the full menu, and prices on our Argentina Booth Page!
