food IS a theme park
We’ve got a HUGE update on the 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival!
It’s festival time!
Before we know it, it’ll be time to start gearing up for Food & Wine. We can’t wait! This summertime festival is the BIGGEST one of the year, bringing tons of food booths, a concert series, and all kinds of themed entertainment to the park. Disney has been keeping the full list of booths and menus a secret, but we just spotted a major update in the parks.
EPCOT has FINALLY completed its massive transformation after nearly 5 years.
EPCOT
The final stage of this transformation was opening CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza, a new flex space to be used during EPCOT festivals complete with an outdoor stage to use for performances. While we won’t see another EPCOT festival until Food & Wine begins on August 29th. In the meantime though, Disney has a few different offerings to entertain guests in this space throughout the day, and we’re starting to think that these attractions could be a TEST for Disney World’s future.
We’re just a few weeks away from the kickoff of EPCOT‘s biggest festival — the International Food & Wine Festival!
2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
In 2024, the Food & Wine Festival will take place from August 29th through November 23rd, which is actually later than it has been starting in recent years. And honestly, in those recent years, we’ve started to notice a problem with the festival.
If you are reading this post while hungry, BE WARNED. Seriously, we’re not joking! But if you are willing to go on — we’ve got some DELICIOUS updates to share with you!
CommuniCore Hall
CommuniCore Hall & Plaza are officially OPEN at EPCOT! The new spaces include stages for live music, gardens, and other decorations. Inside the Hall, you can check out a new Encanto show, gallery space, demonstration kitchens, and a mixology bar. Not only that, but there is a permanent festival booth that will feature iconic dishes from EPCOT festivals — and we’re checking it out for the first time!
We love our EPCOT festivals dearly, but there’s one thing that makes us sad every time — they end.
CommuniCore Hall
Distance makes the heart grow fonder, we guess, but that still doesn’t mean we don’t long for our favorite festival eats when they’re not around. We thought this problem may be solved with the opening of CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza happening on June 10th, but now we’re second-guessing. We got a sneak peek at this new festival hub tonight, and we still have BIG questions about this new festival booth.
A NEW addition opened up in EPCOT today, and it’s something that we constantly hear people asking for!
EPCOT
One of the best things about EPCOT is the seasonal festivals that happen throughout the year. We love grabbing some gorgeous treats at the Festival of the Arts, noshing on plant-based snacks at the Flower & Garden Festival, eating as much cheese as humanly possible at the Food & Wine Festival, and taking part in the Cookie Stroll at the Festival of the Holidays. Although food and drinks are aplenty in the park during these festivals, there’s one thing that’s sadly LACKING in most areas: SEATING.
Now, a new rest/festival dining area has opened up, and we think y’all are gonna LOVE IT! [Read more…]
Can you believe we’re only a few months away from the start of EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival?
EPCOT
This year, the festival runs from August 29th through November 23rd, 2024, and while we know about some of the booths and offerings returning for the festival, we’re still waiting to hear the full list of booths, menus, and special events/offerings that will be available. However, we do already know that some major changes are expected to take place, so prepare yourselves!
We live for an EPCOT festival.
EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
The seasonal festivals in EPCOT bring scavenger hunts, art, gardens, and of course FOOD. Trying all the food and drinks at every booth is one of our favorite Disney World activities. However, since these are seasonal festivals, they’re only around for a limited time. There are four festivals that you can take part in throughout the year — Festival of the Arts, Flower and Garden Festival, Food and Wine Festival, and Festival of the Holidays. Currently, the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is ongoing, but that will be changing VERY soon.
One HUGE change is coming to the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival this year!
EPCOT Food and Wine Festival | 2022
The 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival will begin on August 29th and end on November 23rd. The event will bring lots of food booths to the park, along with the Eat to the Beat concert series, themed merchandise, a festival scavenger hunt, and more. This year, there’s one major new addition that’ll make the 2024 festival even more exciting than years past! [Read more…]
