food IS a theme park
The 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is officially here!
A Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
Whether you’re snacking on some mac and cheese or sipping on a frozen drink, there are lots of ways to enjoy this festival. Some of EPCOT’s own residents are even celebrating the occasion in their own special way!
Now introducing: the greatest taste test you never knew you needed — MAPLE SYRUP taste testing!!
While it’s not as extravagant as the maple popcorn milkshake, you can find this sweet tasting experience at the Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival inside of the World Showplace.
World ShowPlace
World Showplace is a big blue tent-like structure near the UK Pavilion in World Showcase. Since they are monitoring how many people are inside World Showplace at any one time, you may arrive and be asked to join a virtual queue. Once you’re inside, head over to the maple syrup booth featuring the unique and wonderful flavors from Burton’s Maplewood Farm!
Now that all four Disney World theme parks are open this weekend for the first time since the closures, you might be wondering if guests are complying with Disney World’s mandatory face mask rule.
Magic Kingdom
We’ve been very concerned with making sure our own masks have been nice and snug since the parks reopened — even doubling up our masks when entering more enclosed queue areas, the monorail, or indoor rides. But we’re getting lots of questions from readers about how the whole mask compliance thing is progressing — and how Disney World’s staff is addressing the issue when folks AREN’T following the rules!
We are BACK in EPCOT now that Disney World has started its phased reopening! One of the biggest differences when it comes to planning a 2020 vacation to Disney World is the new rule that states all guests above the age of two MUST wear a face mask.
Orange Bird Wearing a Mini Mask
This requirement has stirred up a lot of questions regarding the logistics of wearing a mask all day in the theme parks. Despite us having the experience of what it’s like to wear a mask all day, we still had some important questions when it came to visiting EPCOT. We’re talkin’ about logistics of EATING around World Showcase, especially with the 2020 Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival now in full swing!
It’s officially Food and Wine time in Disney World now that EPCOT has reopened!
America Gardens Theatre
And even though the Eat to the Beat concert series has been canceled this year, you can still munch to some music during the Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival in 2020.
Greetings from A Taste of Food and Wine, the modified EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival for 2020!

We’ve hopped around World Showcase to check out this year’s food and beverage offerings, including Food and Wine favorites from years past in Japan (with our beloved Frothy Ramen!) and some special items from Flower and Garden Festival! Today, we traveled over to the Brazil Booth to see what was cooking!

We’re making our through all the food and drink booths EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival!
Refreshment Outpost
Next stop: Refreshment Outpost! We always like to stop by this booth at ALL of EPCOT’s Festivals, so we were extra curious to see how this booth would measure up at this year’s “Taste of Food and Wine.”
We stopped by EPCOT to see what was new since the parks temporarily closed in mid-March, and lo and behold, the 2020 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival has begun!
Islands of the Caribbean
So, now that the festival is in full swing, we had to stop by Islands of the Caribbean! This booth is returning from last year so we were anxious to see what was in store for this year!
