food IS a theme park
The EPCOT Transformation is finally almost complete!
EPCOT monorail
Disney announced that this long construction project would eventually be coming to an end, we just didn’t know exactly when. Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana has opened, but there are still a few boxes Disney needs to check off its list. And now, we have a HUGE update on some of them!
As we are nearing the end of the Festival of the Arts and the beginning of the Flower and Garden Festival, we have our eyes set even further into the future.
2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
We love every EPCOT festival, but one has clearly become our favorite, for obvious reasons. The EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is literally everything we dream about — food. An entire festival for food is our forté. But we’re wondering if our favorite festival will look a little differently this year. The 2024 Food & Wine Festival might be the BEST ONE YET for four important reasons: it could be even longer than usual, it might be the FIRST to utilize the NEW festival areas in EPCOT, food and drink demos and seminars may return, and we might get some all-new entertainment!
This is a year of HUGE changes for Disney World!
2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
Park pass reservations are gone for most Disney World visitors. All-day park hopping is back. The Disney Dining Plan has returned. Even more changes are coming later in the year: Country Bear Jamboree in Magic Kingdom will reopen with a brand NEW show this summer, and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is set to open this summer, too. Things are also changing with EPCOT’s festivals, and we think this year’s Food & Wine Festival is going to be a LOT different.
This might just be the year of HUGE changes for Disney World.
EPCOT
In January alone, we saw the end of park pass reservations for most theme park visitors, the return of all-day park hopping, AND the return of the Disney Dining Plan. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open in Magic Kingdom in 2024. PLUS Country Bear Jamboree will be reopening with a brand NEW show in the summer. We’re also starting to see a lot of huge changes for EPCOT’s festivals.

EPCOT’s historic multi-year transformation has — at long last — reached completion!
EPCOT
While Disney World is always changing and updating, EPCOT has seen a MASSIVE overhaul. Walt Disney proclaimed, during the beginning ideas of EPCOT, that it would “always be in a state of becoming.” And this transformation is doing just that, bringing EPCOT into a new state of past, present, and future. But what exactly has all changed since the transformation began? That’s exactly what we’re here to tell you about.
2024 is shaping up to be a good year if Disney World has anything to say about it!

There are so many things that we’ll see by the end of this year and into the next — new fireworks shows, park transformations, and hotel makeovers, just to name a few. We’re here to talk about our “wish list” of changes we’d really like to see Disney World bring in 2024.
One of the coolest things about EPCOT is that it is quite literally always changing.
EPCOT
Each season brings in a new festival, which allows guests to indulge in a whole new assortment of food, drinks, and even activities. Currently, the festivals are spread out throughout the whole park, focusing on the 11 countries that make up World Showcase. However, that will all change soon. Let’s talk about it!
