Ever since Disney World reopened to guests in 2020, the parks have seen shorter wait times, smaller crowds, and lower capacities.

But one major thing is still pretty different in Disney: many international guests haven’t been able to visit Disney World since reopening. Soon, though, that will change.
EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival isn’t the only food festival in town! The Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic, which runs on October 29th and 30th, is a food fest that highlights delicious fine dining and a wide selection of wines and beers with 20+ food stands and 100+ drink options.
