food IS a theme park
The EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is one of the biggest events Disney throws all year — and it brings in the crowds for a reason.
Food & Wine Festival
From food booths to concerts to unique merch, it’s a whole thing. And while Disney hasn’t officially released the 2025 dates yet, based on what we’ve seen in recent years (and a few other clues), we’ve got a pretty solid idea of when you can expect it to kick off. Let’s talk predictions.
One of the BEST festivals is back at Disney California Adventure in Disneyland!
Lunar New Year Festival
It’s the Lunar New Year Celebration that celebrates, well, the Chinese Lunar New Year. The festival brings in special entertainment, characters, and more, but most importantly, it brings in food booths with our favorite thing…FOOD (and drinks). So, we’ve visited the festival, and we’ve pretty much tasted EVERYTHING, so we’re now going to tell you about the best things we ate and drank there!
It’s time for one of the BEST festivals at Disney California Adventure — the Lunar New Year Festival!
Red Dragon Spice Traders
This festival brings special entertainment, characters, and more, to Disneyland, but of course, we’re most excited about the food booths with allllllll sorts of new and returning eats to try! Right now, we’re headed over to Red Dragon Spice Traders to see what they’re serving up on the menu this year.
It’s hard to believe it’s the end of the year, but here we are, deep in the holiday season in Disney World.
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival 2024
Sure, we’re still enjoying all the holiday goings-on in Disney World, including the hotel gingerbread displays, the special snacks, Jollywood Nights, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. But we’re looking forward to 2025 and MORE EPCOT Festivals. The next festival is the EPCOT Festival of the Arts, but after that, we have the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival to look forward to — and Disney just dropped the dates for that festival!
Fasten your seatbelts because things are changing in Disney World!
EPCOT
So yes, we’re getting an expansion AND a new land in Magic Kingdom, a whole new land in Animal Kingdom, and a new show AND a new land in Hollywood Studios. EPCOT has a whole new version of Test Track to look forward to in 2025. However, there’s one change in EPCOT that’s coming sooner than you think: NEXT WEEK. We’re just wanting to remind you about it so you’re not caught by surprise.
If you are in the early stages of planning your Disney World vacation, we know that this can be a super exciting yet very overwhelming time.
EPCOT
One of the very first things you will need to decide is WHEN you will be going to Disney World. There are 365 days to choose from each year, so there is no lack of options, but we are here to help you with some dates you will want to consider!
We’re just a few weeks away from the kickoff of EPCOT‘s biggest festival — the International Food & Wine Festival!
2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
In 2024, the Food & Wine Festival will take place from August 29th through November 23rd, which is actually later than it has been starting in recent years. And honestly, in those recent years, we’ve started to notice a problem with the festival.
We’re sure you’re aware of all the great festivals you can attend at EPCOT, and we bet you’re very familiar with the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, which is set to happen this year from August 29th through November 23rd.
Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin
But did you know that there’s ANOTHER Food and Wine festival at Disney World? This one doesn’t even require you to buy a park ticket! It’s the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic, and dates for this festival have officially been announced.
Hopefully, you got those taxes done earlier this week, but here at DFB, we are still celebrating that we survived the dreaded Tax Day!
Congrats, you deserve a treat!
We survived, and after all that Tax Day work, we all deserve to treat ourselves! We think that planning a Disney World vacation may be just what the doctor ordered, and we are here to help make sure your vacation is amazing!
We are eagerly anticipating the announcement of the dates for this year’s Food and Wine Festival in EPCOT. This is EPCOT’s largest festival, and this year, some new developments could make it extra exciting.
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
We’re going to do some speculating today about what those dates could look like in 2024.
