It’s almost time for EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival again!
We’ve gone almost THREE MONTHS without a festival in the park, which is pretty wild. We can’t wait to try all the delicious eats at all the different booths (we’re eagerly awaiting those menus, Disney!), but before the first day of the festival hits, we have to make sure we have our essentials. And no, that doesn’t mean our wallet, comfortable clothes, and good shoes (although those are very important) — no, these essentials may seem silly, but we won’t do a festival without them!
TRAYS Are a MUST!
Taking a Reusable Tray to an EPCOT festival may seem a little silly, especially when you’re walking into the park and you have to go through security with it, but trust us, it makes walking to a seating area (which are scarce) MUCH easier. You’re not juggling all your food, hoping you don’t drop it, and if you have to eat on a trash can, you’re not eating directly ON it!
No More Paper Straws That Disintegrate
We love that Disney World is being more conscientious about the level of plastic they’re putting out, so they’ve switched over to paper straws at the majority of locations. However, these straws are prone to falling apart if you don’t drink your drink fast enough (which is NOT fun because then it doesn’t work at all), so we love bringing Reusable Straws along with us! These come with their own containers and cleaners too, so you can be sure it’s not going to accidentally touch something you don’t want it to.
Reusable Utensils
These packs of Reusable Utensils are fantastic as well! They’re so easy to just throw in your bag and go, and this way, you don’t have to worry about grabbing new silverware every single time. You can use water from your water bottle or water fountains to rinse them off between uses though, in case you want to make sure they’re clean in between meals. Plus, if a plastic silverware container is out near a booth, you won’t be stuck trying to eat soup with a fork.
We’ll be at the first day of EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival to cover everything there is to experience at the festival, so stay tuned to DFB!
