food IS a theme park
It’s officially December, and that means we’re about to have one of the busiest months of the year in Disney World!
Happy Holidays from Hollywood Studios!
We’ve already seen crowds in late November for Thanksgiving break, but the holiday season is just beginning. And because so many guests will be coming to Walt Disney World, there are some exciting offerings and big things you need to know if you’re visiting in the month of December!
When you’re in Disney World, there are LOTS of different delicious things to eat and it’s easy to just walk up to a spot, pay for your food, and devour it.
Time to Eat!
At home, the food options can seem a little bit less exciting at times since (1) you’re not eating it in the Most Magical Place on Earth; and (2) you have to do the cooking. If you’re looking to jazz up your holiday table this year and struggling to find any ideas, allow us to provide you with some magical inspiration. Here are 10 recipes from EPCOT’s many festivals (some recipes from the past and others from the present) that NEED to be on your holiday table!
We’re having the BEST time at the 2021 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays today!

We’ve tried a bunch of food, watched some phenomenal entertainment, shopped the new merchandise, and now we’re in need of a caffeine boost. What better solution than to check out the festival offerings at Joffrey’s?!
EPCOT’s 2021 Food and Wine Festival is almost over, but the 2021 Festival of the Holidays is well on its way.
EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
Today we noticed something different about Cast Members working at the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival booths, with new Costumes that also help protect our environment. Check it out here!
The four-month-long Food & Wine Festival is slowly drawing to a close at EPCOT, but don’t be sad, because another festival is coming in its place!
EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays kicks off at the park on November 26th and runs through December 30th. Throughout the fest, you’ll be able to experience special merchandise, themed entertainment, and most of all, delicious holiday eats and drinks from around the world. We got the menus for the festival recently, and today we’re sharing the 7 returning items that you definitely don’t want to miss!
Alright, listen, we all understand that Disney World (OK, the WHOLE world!) has been through an ORDEAL in the last couple of years.
Bless you, Disney World. You’ve been having a hard time.
Park closures, health and safety measures, a bazillion and one changes to the way we do things in the parks…some days it has been nothing but pure chaos. Even though things have slowly returned to “normal” in the parks, all of the chaos of the last few years got us thinking — with all the ways that Disney has adapted to the ever-changing world around us, what would the theme parks be like in the most outlandish, ridiculous, out-of-the-box scenario we could think of? Today, we’re discussing what Disney World would do in a zombie apocalypse! (Yes, we’re serious!)
We’ve already visited and reviewed all the booths from the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival this year.

But one booth (that opened on October 1st) has already switched things up. The menu is still the same, but the booth has moved locations in EPCOT! Here’s where you can find the delicious crispy pork belly and cheesy rolls in World Showcase now.
We’re still in the middle of the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, but we’re already thinking about our plans for the Festival of the Arts in 2022!
The decorations could be pretty phenomenal.
A while back, Disney announced that the Festival of the Arts will run from January 14th-February 21st, 2022, and you know we’ll be there to experience all the excitement! Since then, Disney has revealed some of the offerings that are returning to the festival, and we’ve got the full list.
EPCOT’s 2021 International Food and Wine Festival is nearing its end, and we’re already getting excited for the next fun food event in the park — EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays!
Minnie Peppermint Cookie
The International Festival of the Holidays starts on November 26th, 2021 and runs through December 30th, 2021. It’s a celebration of holiday traditions around the world through food, decorations, music, and more! The Holiday Kitchens around EPCOT feature flavors of the holidays from different cultures. And, similar to the cheese crawl at Food and Wine, Festival of the Holidays has a Cookie Stroll you can take part in!
With all the excitement happening at Disney World in the coming weeks and months, don’t forget about the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival!
There’s so much to see!
This year’s fest started back in July and runs through most of November, and we’ve had some truly delicious eats “around the world” in EPCOT. The festival is also highlighted by exclusive merchandise, unique entertainment, and fun activities for the whole family. And now, there’s a special photo op just for visitors of Food & Wine!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
