food IS a theme park
Since Disney World closed in mid-March, we had wondered how different the parks and experiences would be upon reopening. One of those experiences we had a ton of questions about was the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival.

Hey, Disney Food Blog friends! We know that A LOT goes into planning a Disney World vacation and that it can get pretty confusing and overwhelming at times. There are Advance Dining Reservations, Disney Genie+, hotel options, festivals, Extended Evening Hours and Early Morning Entry, special ticketed events…and that’s just the tip of the iceberg!

So here are answers to your BIGGEST Disney World Planning Questions right now!
Disney World has been dominating the poutine game recently!
Beef Bourguinon Poutine at Le Cellier
We take our love for poutine VERY seriously! This quintessential Canadian dish is traditionally served as a plate of french fries topped with brown gravy and cheese curds. And we love it so much that we’ve shared our very own poutine crawl, because we want to make sure you know alllllll the hot spots to score this delicious french fry dish! Today we’re sharing six more poutines we can’t stop dreaming about.
While last year we helped you answer, “Should I even go to Disney World with all this construction?” Now we’re asking the same question for a much different reason.

As much as we adore eating and drinking our way around the booths, we’re also jazzed about the Eat to the Beat concert series! So we were pumped to hear about another performer we can rock out to this year!
There are few things we are looking forward to this year as much as the 2020 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival! Epcot is often seen as the “adult park” in comparison to the other Disney parks, so some families struggle with the idea of bringing children along.
