food IS a theme park
Ready to celebrate a bit of Christmas in July?
Festival of the Holidays!
Today, Disney is celebrating Halfway to the Holidays with lots of big holiday news! So far, we’ve shared an update about a NEW After Hours holiday event coming to Disney World that will replace Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and an update on Candlelight Processional. But, what about the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays? Well, we’ve got some news on that too!
Whether you’re a first-timer at EPCOT or you’ve been dozens of times, there are still some things there that a lot of people seem to miss out on!
What a Beautiful View!
Sure, you’ll want to ride Frozen Ever After and Soarin’ and see all the World Showcase pavilions! But there’s SO MUCH MORE to do at EPCOT, including a lot of unique and fun things you might not even know about. Are you sleeping on some of the best gems in EPCOT?!
It has been wonderful hearing the Voices of Liberty singing together once again as they present “Voices of the Season” during the 2020 Taste of EPCOT Festival of the Holidays!

This year’s EPCOT Festival of Holidays is a little different from previous years.
EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
One big change is that the Candlelight Processional was canceled this year.
We have been tasting our way around the Holiday Kitchens at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT Festival of the Holidays since it kicked off just last week.

The Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays has officially kicked off for the season!
Bûche de Noël
We’ve been busy trying all the new treats and sweets at each Holiday Kitchen in World Showcase. Now, other EPCOT locations have joined in the festivities! Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie bakes up some beautiful desserts and French pastries throughout the year. The bakery is currently serving a traditional Bûche de Noël aux Trois Chocolats for the season!
We’re all about the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, and we’ve already been busy trying out all the tasty snacks and drinks at this year’s booths!

And it looks like we’re getting an extra day to enjoy all the festivities!
It just wouldn’t be the holiday season without some festive music!

And even though EPCOT’s Candlelight Processional is canceled this year, there’s still music at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays in the America Gardens Theatre courtesy of the Voices of Liberty and Mariachi Cobre!
Well, well, well, Citrus Blossom…do you come here often? The answer is YES. YOU DO COME HERE OFTEN.
The Citrus Blossom
In fact, Citrus Blossom has been at the last THREE (count ’em, THREE) EPCOT festivals. That’s gotta be a new record or something. So, yes, even though we reviewed it at the 2020 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival AND the 2020 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, we’re back for the 2020 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays.
It’s a busy busy day in Walt Disney World — all the Disney Park Pass reservations for all four parks are booked!
Magic Kingdom
When the opening day of an EPCOT Festival intersects with the Thanksgiving holiday break, we get higher-than-normal crowd levels and wait times. Today, we’re on location at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT to see JUST how busy the parks are, and we’re looking at wait times for all four parks!
