food IS a theme park
We love an EPCOT festival. And can you blame us?
A Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
This morning the dates were announced for the 2021 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival and we couldn’t be more excited to get eating on July 15th! We might not know EVERYTHING we’ll be eating yet, but we do know a few booths we’ll get to visit!
Last year, we enjoyed a whole bunch of tasty treats, exciting entertainment, and more during the Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival (although it was a VERY different festival as compared to previous years).

Last year the Food & Wine Festival also lasted for OVER 4 MONTHS!!! Well, this year the Festival is coming BACK and we finally got a look at when we’ll be able to enjoy ALL the food and wine again. Will it be as long as last year’s Festival? How soon will the Festival start? We’ve got all the details here for you!
Last year, we got to enjoy the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, but a few things were different or missing.
International Food and Wine Festival
One of the biggest things that was missing was the Eat to the Beat Concert series. The concerts were unfortunately canceled for last year’s Festival. Also, other similar events at EPCOT’s festivals — like the Disney on Broadway Concert Series that usually takes place at the International Festival of the Arts — have not taken place since the parks reopened after the COVID-19 closures.
The 2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is still several months away and we really haven’t gotten details about it yet. But, we have found something that might give us a clue about the future of the Eat to the Beat Concerts at this year’s Festival!
Although Disney World might be the Most Magical Place on Earth, not everything is fantastic in the parks. Things go wrong on vacations, rides break down, and some meals are NOT what you expected.
Magic Kingdom
And, we’ve been around the block quite a few times when it comes to terrible things that we’ve seen in Disney World. Sometimes, you need to experience the good AND the bad of Dinsey World to fully appreciate everything.
When we talk about the EPCOT Transformation, we spend a lot of time focused on the BIG aspects.
EPCOT Ticket Booths
Sure, the Future World work is exciting and we’re pumped for the Harmonious Nighttime Spectacular, but what about the small details? We love the colorful new paint that arrived on the ticket booths a while ago and now there’s another little update!
The 2020 “Taste of Epcot International Food and Wine Festival” (the official name for this year’s modified Food and Wine Festival) is drawing to a close later this month. This modified festival features elements of the Food and Wine Festival as well as the Flower and Garden Festival, which was cut short by Disney World’s historic closures this past Spring.

We were thinking about all the unique aspects of this year’s Food and Wine Festival, and we realized that in some ways this is both the best AND the worst Food and Wine Festival of all time.
Come fall, we’re ALWAYS on the hunt for that perfect cider! Using a Goldilocks-like approach, we like a cider that isn’t too sweet and isn’t too tart…
Hard Cider
If you can relate to these cider sentiments, then you’re gonna want to head to Disney World ASAP because we’ve found the ULTIMATE beer for you!Â
RED ALERT! Yesterday, we shared that another booth would be opening at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! So, of course we made our way to EPCOT to check it out.

But, when we arrived, it was not at all what we expected!
We’ve been enjoying all the great food and drinks at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, and we’re always happy to see more festival merch!
Minnie Bowl
We’ve already seen some great Minnie Mouse Food and Wine merchandise, but we just found a Food and Wine MagicBand featuring both Minnie AND Mickey!
There are so many festival booths to enjoy delicious treats from all around EPCOT at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.

While some of the booths have been open since the beginning of the festival, others opened later on, and we’ve been eagerly waiting for a few more to become available. Today, our waiting ended for 2 of the booths we’ve been keeping an eye on!
