food IS a theme park
EPCOT is going to see some major changes in November. One of the park’s most popular annual events is set to end… only for another to begin just days later as Disney World barrels headlong into the holiday season!
EPCOT
Don’t fret if you’re heading to the park next month, though. We’ve assembled every date you’ll be able to wine and dine, rock out, stay late, and even get festive at EPCOT in November!
YIKES! The crowds have shown up again in ONE Disney World park, and for the second weekend in a row, they’re intense.
LOTS of people
We hoped that the crazy EPCOT crowds we saw last weekend were a fluke, but after visiting the park yesterday, we are worried we might have just found a new pattern.
EPCOT‘s World Showcase is full of some seriously awesome hidden treats!

You don’t have to stick to the Mickey bars and the churros at this park, because you can wander into gift shops and find some of the most interesting snacks you’ve ever eaten, not to mention the offerings at the dozens of restaurants and snack stands. And if you’re heading to the park soon, there’s a limited-time snack that you might want to add to your to-do list!
EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival kicked off at the end of August with a massive array of new and returning food and drink options for guests to enjoy! And although it’s been ongoing for over a month now, there are STILL things that have yet to come, but that all changes this week!

EPCOT’s premier annual event still has more to offer, as an additional FOUR food booths debut October 2nd! Let’s take a look at what’s opening this week!
Believe it or not, October is almost here! Fall — with all its pumpkin spice and spooky season and spooky goodness — has officially arrived, with the holiday season and the end of the year on the horizon, but that doesn’t mean the perks stop there!

Those visiting Disney World during October can find several perks tied to the season, a few of which are disappearing before the calendar flips to November!
The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is one of the best times of year to visit Disney World, but it can also be one of the most exhausting.

Between crisscrossing the World Showcase for global marketplace booths, standing in line under the Florida sun, and juggling small plates while trying to keep your hands free, having the right gear can make or break your day. We tested a stack of products to see which ones actually earn a spot in your Festival bag, and these four came out on top.
In the lead-up to the 2026 edition of EPCOT’s iconic International Food & Wine Festival, Disney introduced a potential GAME-CHANGER! No, this wasn’t a new snack or cocktail to be enjoyed around the world — though there are plenty of those in 2026 as well –but rather something much simpler: Fence Tables!
Full Spread
Did these new eating stations live up to the hype? Is dining at the Food & Wine Festival easier this year? Or was this a case of something overhyped and underdelivered? This is what our team thought.
EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival kicked off at the end of August, and we were there to try all of the booths and offerings, old and new. However, just because opening day has passed doesn’t mean we’ve seen everything EPCOT’s premier annual event has to offer, as there’s still MORE to come.

September 9th will see the debut of another booth at the festival. However, this isn’t just any Food & Wine Festival booth; it’s this year’s version of Festival Favorites!
Can you smell that? The smell of frying oil, salt, and sweets? That’s the smell of the Food & Wine Festival starting in EPCOT!

The festival runs until November 21st and turns EPCOT into a wonderland of new snacks and drinks to try. This is DFB’s favorite time of the year and when we really bring it all out for the festival. We’ve gone every year since…forever! While we’ll talk about the best food and flavors to try, we also need to talk about prices and the best dishes you can get with a snack credit at the festival.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
