One of our stops today was at Funnel Cakes in the American Adventure Pavilion. Funnel Cakes have proven to be a DFB fave over the years, so we were VERY MUCH looking forward to what this stand had in store.
We took the time to stop and smell the roses at EPCOT’S Cast Member Previews and noticed something joyous on our way!

Since Disney World closed in mid-March, we had wondered how different the parks and experiences would be upon reopening. One of those experiences we had a ton of questions about was the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival.

Based on our trip today to Disney Springs, we have gained some insight on how the festival may be a bit different this fall!
The year is not even halfway over but we are already thinking about the holiday season in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle all lit up during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!
And it seems like many of you readers have the holidays on your minds TOO, because we get the same question all the time: “When does Disney decorate for Christmas?” (And whether you want the year to be flying by so fast or not, you can make those Advance Dining Reservations for Christmas day NEXT MONTH.)
So today we’re laying out a timeline of when you can expect to see Christmas decor popping up all throughout the Most Magical Place on Earth just in case it helps your planning!
We have our sights set on the 2020 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival. While the official dates and menus haven’t been announced yet, we’re already thinking of our dream food and beverage must-try list!

Unfortunately, we don’t know at this time if ANY of our favorites are returning this year. Since the festival dates and menus haven’t been announced yet, all we can do is cross our fingers, hope, and PRAY that these festival faves will return in 2020! So, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and look back on some of our most beloved Food and Wine Festival eats.
