food IS a theme park
The 2024 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is here and we couldn’t be happier!
2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
This year, we’ve been gushing over all you can do like the food booths you can visit, the merch you can pick up, and the concerts you are able to watch, but on top of that there’s this one secret that if you didn’t already know about, well, we’re here to tell you all about it!
Let’s face it — when you’re in Disney World you’re surrounded by tons of snacks seemingly everywhere you turn. But while Disney’s busy churning out some funky, cute, and downright bizarre snacks where do you turn when you’re just looking for something familiar that stands the test of time?
Funnel Cakes!!
Luckily you’ve come to just the right Disney World food experts! It’s true we’ve tried it all, and when we’re really looking for something that we can count on, there’s one place that comes to mind first!
We’re extensively covering the 2024 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and reporting everything we see and taste — which includes a festival secret!
2024 Food and Wine Festival
This year’s Food & Wine Festival is PACKED with tasty goodies, cute souvenirs, and tons of fun. It also has some hidden gems and we’re ready to spill the beans!
One of Disney World’s once-bustling restaurants has been sitting abandoned for months and no one seems to care at all!
No sign of Big River Grille
One of the highlights of becoming a Disney World expert is when you can recount the park and hotel histories, and closures, and even impress your friends with abandoned places hiding in plain sight. There’s one particular abandoned Disney World hotel restaurant that’s patiently waiting its turn, yet no one seems to know what to do with it!
When it comes to dining in Disney World, how do you choose?!
Disney Springs
Between the parks and hotels, there are so many restaurants — not to mention the plethora of options at your disposal at Disney Springs. Speaking of which, it happens to be one of our favorite places to grab a bite to eat on a Disney World trip — and we’ll be RUNNING to try these new menu items just announced at a fan-favorite spot!
Just when you thought living out your princess dreams around Disney World couldn’t get any better — it just did!

Everyone visiting Disney World needs to take time for a snack break every now and then, and what’s better than a sweet treat to reward yourself for all those long days in the parks! We’ve been trying out Disney World’s exclusive princess treats around the parks and hotels and we couldn’t wait to snag the newest to release over at Storybook Treats in Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland.
Something new is coming to Batuu, and these may be the treats you’re looking for!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland
We’re fresh off the news that the Hungry Bear Barbeque Jamboree is getting rethemed and gearing up to welcome several new treats and eats for the Halloween season. It’s safe to say that the menus at Disneyland Resort habe been seeing some big changes recently. If that wasn’t enough to tide you over, though, there’s one more place you’ll want to add to your list if you’re visiting Disneyland soon!
After months and months of waiting, Disney finally dropped some exciting news about the 2024 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! We’ve got festival menus, people. We’ve got merchandise previews. We’ve even got the full Eat to the Beat concert lineup! We’re all set, right? Well…yes, and no.
EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
This year’s festival runs from August 29th to November 23rd, 2024. We know that some of the most popular food booths will return, along with the Eat to the Beat Concerts each evening. But the announcement we have been most eagerly anticipating? Well, it didn’t happen. Hey, Disney? We’re here to gently poke you. Pssst. Can you bring back this classic EPCOT Food and Wine Festival event?
Welcome to a tropical hideaway, you lovely people! We recently had the chance to visit one of the most popular lounges around Disney World’s hotels, and we’re here to tell you alllll about our experience!
A Zombie and a Hippopotomai-Tai
Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is one of the most talked about spots when people mention unique experiences to be had at Disney World, and it seems to stand the test of time. Admittedly though, it had been a while since our last visit here, so we were due a trip to see if it still is as good as it once was!
We say it all the time, and we won’t stop because it’s SO true — choosing where to eat in Disney World is BEYOND hard.
Cinderella’s Royal Table
First, you’ve gotta figure out what your budget for the trip is, and how much of it is allocated to dining, and THEN you need to decide what table service restaurants to book (up to 60 days before your trip begins) and what meals you’ll stop at quick service restaurants for. On the Disney World website and My Disney Experience App, you’ll find that each restaurant has a number of dollar signs that can help you get a quick picture of how much it costs. However, it’s easy to make a mistake at a select few of these restaurants, and we’re BEGGING you not to fall victim to it!
