But even “pretty perfect” can come with mistakes if you’re doing the park the wrong way!
Now that the holiday season has officially arrived at Disney World, we’ve been busy enjoying a lot of the holiday foods.

We ate our way around the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, as well as tried out many other holiday snacks around the resort. But while we were eating our way around Disney World, we were also keeping a close eye on restaurant menus to see what’s changed.
Happy holidays!
Holiday snacks have arrived!
Sure, we just said goodbye to Halloween, but the holiday season has officially started at Disney World — the decorations are up, the merchandise is out, and the first Disney Very Merriest After Hours party starts soon! And Disney World restaurants are still busy changing up their menus, although more often than not, those changes include price increases.
One of the most wonderful things about going to Disney World is the food — yeah, we’re biased, but that’s what we do!
Time to Dig in!
And when folks in the know think food in Disney World, chances are their thoughts drift to EPCOT.

But did you know that you can eat around the world at other parts of Disney World without ever stepping foot into EPCOT?
There’s a LOT more than meets the eye in Disney World restaurants!
