food IS a theme park
Heads up if you’re going to EPCOT next month because there are some changes headed your way!
EPCOT
From new dining locations to delayed openings, there are a few things that could affect your trip. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Here are four changes coming to EPCOT in October!
The 2025 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival officially kicked off on August 28th! The event runs through November 22nd, so you still have plenty of time to eat and drink your way around the Global Marketplaces. We ate and drank our way through the festival on opening day, selecting our best of the fest items.

But our rankings could be changing in a bit over a week, as TWO new booths will be joining the festival lineup! Beginning September 28th, you will have two more options for Global Marketplaces as the Coastal Eats and Gyozas of the Galaxy booths make their debut.
It is Food and Wine time! The 2024 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is officially here, and we’ve tried every. single. booth.
2024 Food and Wine Festival
There were some clear winners and clear losers at this year’s festival. Some returning favorites did not disappoint while new items shined bright. And of course, we could NOT get enough cheese! However, there were a few booths that almost sent us running before we even tasted their items, but they turned out to be worth our time and money. These five booths may not look like much at first glance, and may even look a little scary, but trust us, they’re worth the stop during the 2024 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival!
Seafood lovers, listen up!
Coastal Eats
We’re checking out a Marketplace Food Booth made just for you at the 2024 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival. We’re at Coastal Eats, and while you’ll find a few more seafood bites around the Festival (like the Grilled Bushberry Spiced Shrimp Skewer at the Australia Booth and the Tostada de Camarones with tempura battered shrimp at the Mexico Booth), Coastal Eats is the only booth entirely dedicated to seafood, and we’re here to bring you our complete review.
We’ve got good news: the 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has officially STARTED! Want some even better news? We’re reviewing ALLLL of the new and returning snacks so that you know exactly what to try, where to go, and how to make the most of your visit.
2023 Coastal Eats Booth
Now that the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is underway, we’ve been busy trying new snacks from all over EPCOT! (And doing a little shopping, too, because, DUH!) With so many places to eat, it can be a little intimidating! Luckily, we’re here to help. Now, we’re heading to a returning festival booth — the Coastal Eats booth — to give you the FULL rundown! Is it worth a try? Let’s find out!
It’s basically the law that August signifies the beginning of the fall season.
Oh, My Gourd Cupcake
Sure, it’s still ridiculously hot in Florida but we’re ready for all the Halloween treats and pumpkin spice! That said, there were a LOT of new foods to try in Disney World this August and not everything had a pumpkin theme. In fact, World Princess Week brought us a ton of princess treats! Find out the five BEST and the five WORST things we ate in Disney World this August.
It has been a busy week at Disney World!
EPCOT
We had a new restaurant opening, the start of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and lots of new merchandise, all within the past few days. For EPCOT in particular, there has been a lot going on, and today we’re sharing all the updates you missed if you haven’t visited recently!
The 2022 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival kicked off in Disney World about a month ago with lots of exciting and delicious food and drink items to try.
2022 Coastal Eats Booth
Disney had previously shared that some of the festival booths would not be available at the start of the festival but would instead be opening at a later date. Well, that date has finally arrived and it’s time for us to try the remaining Food and Wine Festival booths! So buckle up because we’re heading to Coastal Eats!
We have our sights set on the 2020 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival. While the official dates and menus haven’t been announced yet, we’re already thinking of our dream food and beverage must-try list!
2019 Epcot Food and Wine Festival
Unfortunately, we don’t know at this time if ANY of our favorites are returning this year. Since the festival dates and menus haven’t been announced yet, all we can do is cross our fingers, hope, and PRAY that these festival faves will return in 2020! So, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and look back on some of our most beloved Food and Wine Festival eats.
Alright, Foodie friends! We know how the Epcot Food and Wine Festival can be overwhelmingly full of choices — and this year’s no exception! In fact, is it just us, or are there EVEN MORE great options to choose from in 2019 THAN EVER BEFORE?!
Hello, Food and Wine Festival!
We’ve given you our Best of the Fest, but if you want even more recommendations, we’ve got it here! That’s right — we’ve gone through ALL OF THE MENUS for you and compiled a list of what you MUST TRY if you were only able to get ONE item from EACH and EVERY booth!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
