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!
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!
This year has flown by and we’re already well past the halfway mark of 2024. We’ve already attended TWO major EPCOT festivals, and now it’s time to turn our attention toward a third!

EPCOT is home to several events and four big-time festivals each year, and the next scheduled festival happens to be the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! Taking place from August 29th through November 23rd, 2024, this fan-favorite festival usually offers some amazing booths and entertainment, and we can’t wait to experience it all! With that said, we have noticed that this year’s festival will look a lot different than the Food & Wine festivals of the past.
EPCOT’s 2022 Food & Wine Festival officially starts on July 14th, 2022, and we’ve got ALL the details you need to know.
EPCOT Festival Passports
We’ve already shared the FULL menus for all of the booths, given you a peek at the Festival merchandise you can get online right now, and even given you the information you need to create a realistic budget for the Festival. But now we’ve got MORE details — food booths with PRICES have started to appear for the Food & Wine festivities!
To end EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival, runDisney will be holding its annual Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend! This year’s event is Disney villains-themed and features a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and a Two Course Challenge.

Today, we got some more details about the Wine and Dine Weekend, including a way to ride Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and more after the park closes!
Hey, guys! We’re back with another DFB Video and today we’re talking the HUGE week that just took place at Walt Disney World!
2019 Food and Wine Festival
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is now OPEN and the 2019 Epcot Food & Wine Festival has begun!
DEVELOPING STORY. RETURN FOR MORE UPDATES THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
Today and yesterday, we have been following a developing story across Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort. The topic? Price hikes to Disney food and beverage items around both properties.
These price changes, as it turns out, have also affected some food and beverage items at the 2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival Food Booths….in the middle of the festival. (???)
2017 Epcot Food and Wine
For example, Refreshment Port‘s food and beverage offerings now show pricing up to $1.00 more than it was at the beginning of the Epcot Food and Wine Festival on nearly every single item.
Great news! We reported last week that the Epcot Family Play Zone had been shut down and dismantled. But, since it was still on the Times Guide, we promised we’d be watching to see if they reconstructed the kids’ play area later in the festival.
Sure enough, it’s back! Though some of the equipment has been changed out, and the sign is different with this incarnation.
Family Play Zone at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival
We’re not sure why the temporary closure happened or why changes were made, but it’s great to have the play area back for families at the festival!
It’s almost here! The August 30th start date for Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival is getting closer! And guess what we found in Epcot today…….
2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival: Hawaii Booth
Yep — the Epcot Food and Wine Festival food booths are HERE!
While we don’t have a full list of booths or menus yet, we can tell many favorites including Hops and Barley in American Adventure Pavilion, Canada, Ireland, Mexico, France, Thailand, Hawaii, and more are returning.
Keep your eye on Disney Food Blog 2018 Food and Wine Festival Menus Page! As soon as the menus are released we will post them there for you.

Now let’s take a little look at these food booths shall we? It’s like we’re seeing old friends again after a long absence… [Read more…]
It’s time to head back to one of my most favorite spots in all of Epcot’s World Showcase — Les Chefs de France!
Even though I’m happy to dine at this bistro anytime of the year, today we’re bringing you a review of a brand new special event from the 2013 Epcot Food and Wine Festival — the Parisian Breakfast.
When this new event was announced for this year’s festival, I jumped at the chance to add it to my busy opening weekend schedule! It’s one of the lower-priced special events available, and I’m always looking for a value.
As a special bonus, the event took place before most of World Showcase was fully opened. I always love it when I can have any part of the park (mostly) all to myself. 🙂
The Parisian atmosphere of Les Chefs shines through at this new breakfast special event.
Seating and Setting the Table
After all, if you look at the pic below, it even kind of feels like you’re in Paris, eh??
Beautiful Morning Sunlight
I was seated at a table looking out onto the World Showcase promenade. This event (along with most other special events at the festival these days) had assigned seating.
This is relatively new for festival events, so be prepared if you’re hoping to sit with a friend who booked separately from you!
Our Table with a View
Luckily, I got to sit with an awesome group of Disney food fans and we chatted the morning away! It was a great time!
Now, as beautiful as the morning surroundings are, I know you’re anxious to see [Read more…]
