food IS a theme park
We LOVE a good sale. Spirit Jersey sale? We’re there. Loungefly sale? Obsessed. A sale on airline tickets? We’re packing our bags and going on vacation!
Southwest Plane
If you’re planning on jetting off to Disney World soon, then this sale on flights is definitely one you’ll want to check out. There’s truly nothing better than going on vacation and saving those big bucks (in case there really is a spirit jersey or Loungefly sale!).
We’re still making our way around all the food booths at the 2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival! And we just stopped by Flavors from Fire hosted by the NFL on ESPN!
2021 Flavors from Fire Booth
This booth has been one of our favorites in past years, so we’re excited to see it back!
It seems like there’s always something special happening at Disney World!

But even though some three-day weekends and holidays tend to bring heavier crowds to Disney World, you really need to know about these more unique events if you’re trying to avoid lots of people!
Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival
kicks off on August 29, 2019, and continues until November 23, 2019. That’s 87 days of food, wine, demos, seminars, and more! With the Festival getting bigger and more complex with each passing year, we figure it’s time to get back to the simple truths — seven, in fact — about Food & Wine.
Epcot’s Food and Wine begins August 29, 2019!
Food & Wine at Epcot has reached epic proportions, with more than thirty booths in 2017 and 2018 — and over 30 again in 2019! [Read more…]
Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival
is a fabulous opportunity to eat lots of great food and to drink lots of great drinks. And while we know we’ll be putting some of our returning favorites on our must-eat list — we also make a second list: New Stuff We Can’t Wait to Try! (Yeah, we’re all about lists here at DFB!)
2018 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival
And this is that list — including a few items we got the chance to sample recently!
The new Guinness Bailey’s Shake from the Ireland booth got us all kinds of excited when we saw it on the menu! We were expecting a frozen, creamy drink with a powerful hit of Guinness and Baileys — and that’s just what we got when we tried it during a preview! PLUS it comes with the glass! We can’t wait to try it again!
Guinness Baileys Shake
The Shimmering Sips Mimosa Bar is brand new this year, and the offerings sound incredible! Mimosas include varieties like the Tropical Mimosa and the Madras Mimosa (which we have tried!), and there’s a tasty-sounding, kid-friendly drink called Frozen Apple Pie!
Madras Mimosa
But aside from those intriguing drinks, the Mimosa Bar is also serving up pastries like an Almond Croissant and a Cheese Danish with Sweet Icing! One of each, please! [Read more…]
