food IS a theme park
Last month we learned that on the same day EPCOT was set to reopen, a modified version of EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival would be starting!
A Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
But just how “modified” are we talking here? Now that we’ve had a chance to explore the Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, we can tell you EXACTLY how different (or not so different) it is from Food and Wine Festivals of yesteryear!
We’re back at Walt Disney World’s EPCOT today stuffing ourselves silly with all the 2020 Food and Wine Festival offerings we can fit in our mouths as the Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival has made its official debut on the same day as the park itself has started to welcome guests again!
2020 Food and Wine Festival
In what will go down in history as EPCOT’s longest-running festival, this hybrid fest is part Flower and Garden, part Food and Wine, and ALL KINDS of yumminess!
The Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival has already begun and we got to preview many of the food booths at a Cast Member soft-opening yesterday.
The Citrus Blossom
And while some food booths are still serving EPCOT’s Flower and Garden offerings on their menus such as France, The Citrus Blossom has also brought back lots of Flower and Garden favs.
It’s officially summertime, and starting tomorrow, a Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival will be in full swing when the final two remaining Disney parks reopen to the general public!

We can’t believe it’s already Food and Wine season at Disney World since our chompers normally have to wait until the Fall to enjoy this annual celebration! But a Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is a totally unique new offering that incorporates elements of Flower and Garden and Food and Wine. Plus, it will be the longest-running festival in EPCOT’s history.
Disney World’s EPCOT will reopen to guests again starting July 15th, along with Disney’s Hollywood Studios. (Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom reopened over the weekend).
Epcot Entrance
Wednesday is a big day for guests at EPCOT for another reason, too… it is also the day that the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival kicks off! And even though the Festival will run well into the fall, guests at the Festival will also experience aspects of the park’s SPRING event, the Flower & Garden Festival!
With major Disney news seeming to drop every single day lately, it’s been tough to keep up with everything that’s going on! While there are plenty of things we’ve managed to wrap our heads around, we STILL have quite a few unanswered questions.
Cinderella Castle
Today, let’s look at nine things we’re still unsure about when it comes to the Disney Parks.
Disney World’s theme parks will begin their phased reopenings starting with Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom on July 11th followed by Hollywood Studios and Epcot on July 15th.

Epcot’s 2020 Flower and Garden Festival
Since we sadly can’t explore the festival with the parks being closed, we thought we’d stop and smell the roses (virtually, of course!) and join us on a quick stroll around Epcot’s 2020 Flower and Garden Festival!
