food IS a theme park
Who’s ready for the 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival?
EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
We are SO ready to eat visit all the food booths and eat ALL the things. We’re also excited to rock out at the Eat to the Beat concert series and go on a cheese crawl. But if you’re all about the festival merchandise then we’ve got some news!
So you’re headed to EPCOT to drink around the world, but you’re on a budget…what should you do?
So you want to drink around the world?
Well, the whole concept of drinking around the world is a little daunting — especially to the wallet, but you can do this WITHOUT breaking the bank. So if you want to take that trip around World Showcase, we’re going to tell you how to do it for under $100.
When you visit Disney World, we always tell you to check things out ahead of time BEFORE your trip.
EPCOT
We tell you to check park hours. We tell you to check to make sure your favorite rides aren’t closed for refurbishment. We tell you to check those restaurant menus in case some things have changed. We even tell you to make sure your favorite restaurants or snack spots aren’t closed, but sometimes a sudden closure surprises us, and that’s what’s happened today in EPCOT.
The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is an annual celebration of global cuisine in Disney World, and this year it takes place from July 27 through November 18, 2023.
Food & Wine is almost here!
Before the Flower & Garden Festival had even ended, Food & Wine food booths started popping up around the World Showcase, and now that the Flower & Garden Festival is over, we’re looking forward to the next one. While Disney still hasn’t released the full menus or list of booths for Food & Wine — we think this may be a sign we’ll hear something soon!
The 2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival starts THIS MONTH, and if you’re hoping to reserve your spot at an Eat to the Beat concert, today is a VERY important day for you!
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
Eat to the Beat is a concert series that takes place at the America Gardens Theatre in World Showcase. Some pretty popular musicians will show up to play in 2023, like Boyz II Men, Hoobastank, and Phillip Phillips. You can attend the concerts without paying extra (admission is included in your EPCOT park ticket), but space in the theatre can fill up quickly, especially for those big-name bands. To reserve your spot, you can purchase an Eat to the Beat Dining Package, and reservations for those packages go on sale TODAY. [Read more…]
Who else can’t wait for EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival?
EPCOT
We can’t wait to eat our way around the different food booths, check out all the new merchandise, and relax while watching some amazing music at the Eat to the Beat Concert Series. If you wanna upgrade your concert-watching experience, don’t forget to grab a dining package to get the best seat in the house — they go on sale TOMORROW!
Waiting in long lines at Disney World can be tough — but we waited in one on the Fourth of July that was TOTALLY worth it.
EPCOT
Disney has been celebrating the Fourth of July with all kinds of special things — fireworks at Magic Kingdom, fireworks at EPCOT, special snacks, and even a flyover. But there’s one special experience you’ll want to wait for even if the line is long.
The work at Disney World does NOT seem to stop!
EPCOT
Construction is ongoing at Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana, there’s a whole bunch of work going on at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and other updates are underway at places like Disney’s BoardWalk and beyond. But now we’re taking a look at some new permits that could signal what other changes Disney has underway.
It’s the Fourth of July this week, and Disney is celebrating with exclusive fireworks shows, decorations on Main Street, U.S.A., and limited-time treats throughout the resort. Now, Spaceship Earth is getting in on the patriotic spirit, too!
EPCOT
Spaceship Earth is often decorated for special occasions. We’ve seen it get a new look for the various EPCOT festivals and over the holidays. If you’ve never seen its Fourth of July look, though, you’ll want to check it out!
Y’all. We have been eating a LOT in Disney World over the past few days.
Sunshine Seasons
Why? For science, of course! Also, for YOU, our DFB readers, so we can give you honest reviews on every snack that turns up at Disney World. That’s why we ate the ULTIMATE loaded hot dog, TONS of Flavors of Florida treats, and an EPIC Indiana Jones-themed cake. Well, we’re back at it again with three MORE snacks.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
