food IS a theme park
Well, we survived the first day of the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival.
2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
We managed to eat ALL the food, and even made our way through Emile’s Montage Fromage (the cheese crawl). We chased a rat all over EPCOT for a scavenger hunt and enjoyed a concert and a special Spaceship Earth lighting show at the end of the evening. Well, we went back to EPCOT on the first Saturday of the festival (July 29th), and well, we’re going to warn you to NEVER do that.
HUGE changes are coming to EPCOT, and we’re not even talking about all that EPCOT construction going on right now!
Big changes are coming to EPCOT
Yes, EPCOT is still in the middle of its big transformation. Yes, the Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana attraction is coming in the fall. Yes, the CommuniCore Hall and Communicore Plaza Festival Area will open later this year. But we’re talking about something MASSIVE that’s happening on September 22nd and it will change a LOT around EPCOT.
If you thought we were done eating our way around the 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, think again!

But how will this attraction actually work? Will there be a Lightning Lane? What about a virtual queue? Here’s what we know so far. [Read more…]
We’ll just say it — we are BIG fans of the Skyliner in Disney World.
Skyliner
Sure, there are times when it’s down (usually for refurbishment, but also during bad weather), and it sometimes comes with its unique challenges, but it’s still one of our favorite methods of transportation in Disney World. There’s another reason, though, we love the Skyliner, it’s made getting to and from EPCOT a LOT easier!
It’s been a long day full of tons of food reviews, all kinds of entertainment, and even a pickle milkshake. But the 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has one more trick up its sleeve!

Spaceship Earth (the icon of EPCOT) is known to put on quite a show in the evenings, with colorful lighting and themed music, and now it has a NEW look for this year’s festival! Come with us to check it out.
