food IS a theme park
Guess what day it is?! It’s the kickoff of the Lunar New Year Celebration at Disney California Adventure!
Let’s gooooo!
This year, the celebration runs from January 20th through February 13th and it’s celebrating the Year of the Rabbit in the Chinese zodiac calendar and the Year of the Cat in the Vietnamese zodiac calendar. We’re ready to dive into all the celebrations, including merchandise, food, and entertainment…so let’s go!
There is almost always some kind of festival going on in EPCOT, and here’s the thing – WE ARE HERE FOR IT.
EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival
Festivals bring all kinds of NEW food to try, as well as fun entertainment and activities. The next festival this year is the 2023 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival. Now that we know the dates for the festival, let’s look at everything confirmed for it!
It’s the first day of the 2023 Festival of the Arts in EPCOT!

Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure
While you may not associate theme parks with yummy food, both Disney World and Disneyland Resort are known for having some pretty spectacular restaurants and yummy snacks. In fact, both EPCOT and Disney California Adventure have food festivals throughout the year…and now we’ve got more details about one that’s coming soon!
We just kicked off the Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure, and there are all kinds of delicious eats to try!
Viva Navidad!
We visited a variety of food booths, checked out the entertainment offerings, and enjoyed a lot of festival fun on the opening days, but now it’s time to talk about a new drink option that we tried — the Caramel Toffee Horchata Cold Brew.
When it comes to festivals, most Disney World guests think of those festivals at EPCOT, like the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival. But there’s another HUGE food festival that happens at Disney World every year: The Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic.
The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin
In the past, we’ve liked this event and even consider it one of the most underrated things you can do in Disney World. So how was this year’s food? Well, let us tell you about some of our favorite eats!
The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic is almost here!
Swan & Dolphin Hotel
This fun festival will be returning to the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resort on November 11th through 12th. We were invited to a media preview of the event, so now we’re coming to you with some tips to help you navigate the Food and Wine Classic like a pro!
We’re coming to the end of the year, which means there are a lot of exciting events happening at Disney World.
EPCOT entrance
We have the holiday season, filled with special treats, over-the-top decorations at all the parks and resorts, and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. On top of that, we’ve also got two big festivals at EPCOT. First, there’s the Food & Wine Festival, which has been going on since July, but once that ends it’ll be time for the International Festival of the Holidays. Those two events are a big draw for Disney food lovers, but if you fall into that category, there’s another big offering you’ll want to check out!
EPCOT is basically festival town these days, and now we’ve got some BIG festival news for 2022!
