food IS a theme park
Believe it or not, the 2025 edition of EPCOT’s premier event — the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is just about two months away, and we’re feeling…anxious.
2024 Food and Wine Festival
As always, the 2025 Food and Wine Festival — which is scheduled to run from August 28th through November 22nd — will be a “culinary adventure across 6 different continents.” However, as stoked as we are for the festival — and the FOOD — some elements have us a bit worried.
The 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is almost here, and Disney fans everywhere are already planning their return to the park’s most mouthwatering event of the year.
2024 Food and Wine Festival
This year’s festival runs August 28th through November 22nd. From international marketplaces to the culinary options and exclusive merch drops, this festival transforms EPCOT into a paradise for food lovers and Disney die-hards alike. Whether you’re a seasoned EPCOT foodie or a first-time visitor, this year’s event promises new flavors, fan-favorite dishes, and a few surprises that are sure to make it unforgettable. But there’s one rule we are encouraging people to follow this year.
Big news from EPCOT!
EPCOT
While the 2025 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival doesn’t begin until August 28th — and runs through November 22nd, it looks like the park is beginning preparations a little early. We were walking around the park today and noticed that certain stands are already going up!
Can you believe we’re pretty much halfway through 2025 already?! Time has been flying, and some BIG things are happening at Disney World in July!
EPCOT
This year has been rough with goodbyes, as we’ve started to say “farewell” to DinoLand, U.S.A. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom and now Muppets Courtyard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. HOWEVER, it’s almost time to say “hello” to some new and returning offerings, such as the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival!
Disney World’s next festival, the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, is right around the corner, and August 28th can’t come fast enough!
Food & Wine Festival
This is often EPCOT’s most popular festival of the year, which means the largest crowds on opening and closing days, as well as on weekends. If you’re preparing to head to the festival this year, while we’re still waiting on lots of information to come out, based on what we do know, here are the changes you may want to prepare yourself to see!
One of the best parts of EPCOT is the four festivals that rotate throughout the year. From the Festival of the Arts to Flower and Garden to Food and Wine and the Festival of the Holidays, EPCOT almost always has a festival happening.
EPCOT
We love these festivals, but there are three things EPCOT festivals need to bring them to the next level.
We hope you’re hungry because it’s time to EAT!
2025 DCA Food and Wine Festival
The Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival runs from February 28h through April 21st, 2025, and there will be plenty of delicious food to try. However, if you’re at Disney California Adventure on February 27th, there’s a little surprise for you — the festival has opened EARLY.
If we haven’t told you lately, we LOVE Disney food!
EPCOT
We are always down to try the newest snacks, review Disney restaurants, and hit all the booths at any EPCOT festival. We do this not only for our love of food but because we want to share that love with all of you, our readers! So we had to share where in Disney World you can get one of our favorite festival snacks year-round.
EPCOT, like the other Disney World parks, is always changing.
2024 Food and Wine Festival
Year by year, month by month, and sometimes even week by week! However, there’s one big offering that makes EPCOT stand out from a food standpoint than the other parks, and that’s the four festivals the park has throughout the year. The current festival, EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival, is coming to an end tomorrow, and the park will almost immediately be very different.
You might be familiar with the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, but do you know about Disney World’s OTHER food and wine festival that doesn’t even require a park ticket?
It’s the Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic held at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. For this festival, you buy a ticket and that gets you unlimited access to all the food booths at the festival, meaning ALL the food you can eat and drink. Well, we’ve tried everything and we’re giving you our opinion on the BEST things to try at the festival.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
