food IS a theme park
One of the best parts of EPCOT is the four festivals that rotate throughout the year. From the Festival of the Arts to Flower and Garden to Food and Wine and the Festival of the Holidays, EPCOT almost always has a festival happening.
EPCOT
We love these festivals, but there are three things EPCOT festivals need to bring them to the next level.
We hope you’re hungry because it’s time to EAT!
2025 DCA Food and Wine Festival
The Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival runs from February 28h through April 21st, 2025, and there will be plenty of delicious food to try. However, if you’re at Disney California Adventure on February 27th, there’s a little surprise for you — the festival has opened EARLY.
If we haven’t told you lately, we LOVE Disney food!
EPCOT
We are always down to try the newest snacks, review Disney restaurants, and hit all the booths at any EPCOT festival. We do this not only for our love of food but because we want to share that love with all of you, our readers! So we had to share where in Disney World you can get one of our favorite festival snacks year-round.
EPCOT, like the other Disney World parks, is always changing.
2024 Food and Wine Festival
Year by year, month by month, and sometimes even week by week! However, there’s one big offering that makes EPCOT stand out from a food standpoint than the other parks, and that’s the four festivals the park has throughout the year. The current festival, EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival, is coming to an end tomorrow, and the park will almost immediately be very different.
You might be familiar with the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, but do you know about Disney World’s OTHER food and wine festival that doesn’t even require a park ticket?
It’s the Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic held at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. For this festival, you buy a ticket and that gets you unlimited access to all the food booths at the festival, meaning ALL the food you can eat and drink. Well, we’ve tried everything and we’re giving you our opinion on the BEST things to try at the festival.
Hold up. Can you believe it? It’s almost 2025 and that means your Disney World trip is just about here!!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
You’ll definitely want to keep an eye on the 2025 calendar so that you know what’s happening at the parks and if you need to catch any events. Also, there’s nothing like planning ahead and missing out on the crowds! To those points, we’re here with a helping hand because we want you to know about all the best times to come to Disney World in 2025!
EPCOT is known for all the various food options you can try within the park.
EPCOT
Every World Showcase pavilion has cultural snack options, each world in the park has restaurants and snack stands, and then, of course, there are the seasonal festivals that we love SO much. All throughout the year, you can try new snacks or grab your favorite go-to in EPCOT. Since the snack options vary so much and change all throughout the year, there’s always a chance that some aren’t going to be great. We asked our readers what the worst snack was that they’ve had in EPCOT, and we can’t necessarily disagree with the answer.
The game is ON at EPCOT.
EPCOT
Fall is one of our favorite times of the year at EPCOT, thanks to all the special events associated with the International Food & Wine Festival Festival. One of our favorites in 2024? Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit.
Just in case you missed it, the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is happening RIGHT NOW in EPCOT and will run through November 23rd, 2024!
EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
We love the Food and Wine Festival. We were there on the first day. We’ve tried all kinds of new foods and checked out every food booth. We’ve also had a look at all the new merchandise for the festival and even enjoyed the entertainment of the Eat to the Beat concert series. So, you can definitely tell we love the festival. Now, even though we love the Food and Wine Festival, there are some eats and drinks that have got us downright perplexed. I mean who even orders them anyway?! Let’s talk about it!
EPCOT is a beautiful theme park with lots of outdoor green space.
EPCOT
You’ll find flowers, bushes, trees, and open grass areas. It’s a really neat theme park in that way. This also means that you might find cute wildlife like ducks and other bird species, geckos, and more (and, of course, the sea creatures in the aquarium!). We love all the outdoor spaces most of the time, but there is one problem with all these plants being here that we can’t stop thinking about, and it directly affects all of EPCOT’s festivals.
