food IS a theme park
We’ve found some really cute merch in EPCOT since the park reopened — like these super colorful Minnie Ears!
New Minnie Ears
And today, we spotted some ADORABLE new MagicBands that allow us to celebrate holidays and milestones all year long!
All four Disney World theme parks have finally reopened after their longest closure in history.
Magic Kingdom
We’ve spent the better part of the last two weeks exploring the parks to show you all the changes that have been implemented while guests were away. From seas of social distancing markers to newly installed plexiglass barriers and temperature screening checkpoints, there’s certainly been a lot of new ground-breaking procedures to cover!
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.
The 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is upon us! We’ve got an extra-long festival season in store this year to take in the sights, sounds, and TASTES of this new hybrid EPCOT festival!
Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival
No surprise here, but we’re most concerned with the TASTES! This year, the festival features 20 Festival Marketplaces, each with a menu full of specialty eats and drinks. We’ve eaten our way around the World (Showcase) and back again — and we have some thoughts.
After four months, EPCOT finally reopened today to guests!
Future World Construction
In addition to the launch of the Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and ALL of the delicious food booths, there’s more new stuff to see at EPCOT. Oh yeah, baby, we’re talking merch!!
The Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is finally here!
Joffrey’s Coffee in EPCOT
We’ve been working our way around the festival’s marketplaces to see what food and wine we can find! But now we’re heading to Joffrey’s to see what special offerings they’ve got in store for us!
Greetings from A Taste of Food and Wine, the modified EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival for 2020!
a Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
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 tasting our way around all of the booths at the 2020 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival!
Africa
From Mac & Cheese to Desserts and Champagne, we’re on a mission to taste all the eats the 2020 Food & Wine Festival has to offer! And now, we’re headed to the Africa booth to see whether the options are as delicious as last year!
Today was the grand reopening of EPCOT! After a week of exploring Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom, we’ve been busy tasting our way around World Showcase for the first time since March. And there is PLENTY to taste, with “A Taste of Food and Wine” officially kicked off!
La Cava del Tequila
And when we visit World Showcase, one of our favorite gems to stop at is La Cava del Tequila. So once we knew EPCOT was reopening, we immediately penciled in a trip to the Mexico Pavilion to see how the new health and safety measurements would be implemented.
