October 1st will have it all — 2 new fireworks shows, a new ride, a new restaurant, new EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival booths, and MORE! Want to try and tackle it ALL in 1 day?

The Taste of EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival may be going on right now, but we’re already starting to prepare for EPCOT’s 2021 International Food & Wine Festival!
2020 Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
The Food & Wine Festival will start on July 15th, 2021 and last ALL the way through November 20th, 2021. Earlier today, we shared a look at the NEW Corkcicle that will be available during the Festival, and a list of all of the new booths that guests will get to enjoy this year. Now we want to put a special focus on some booths that will be at the Festival this year, but they’ll be a bit late to the party.
EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival may still be going on, but we’re already starting to plan ahead (a bit) for the International Food & Wine Festival!
A Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
We’ve already shared a look at the dates for the Food & Wine Festival, 5 booths that have been confirmed so far, and a look at the entertainment that will be coming back. But, one of our questions that still hasn’t been answered is whether the Eat to the Beat Concert Series will be coming back. Today one fantastic reader shared a potential clue with us to solve this mystery!
The 2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is on its way!
A Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival 2020
Today, we learned that the Festival will run from July 15th through November 20th, 2021. That’s 4 months of tasty eats! And while Disney hinted at some food booths that would be returning to the Festival, they also gave us a peek at some of the entertainment offerings.
Last year, we enjoyed a whole bunch of tasty treats, exciting entertainment, and more during the Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival (although it was a VERY different festival as compared to previous years).
2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
Last year the Food & Wine Festival also lasted for OVER 4 MONTHS!!! Well, this year the Festival is coming BACK and we finally got a look at when we’ll be able to enjoy ALL the food and wine again. Will it be as long as last year’s Festival? How soon will the Festival start? We’ve got all the details here for you!
The EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival has officially begun once again in Disney World.
EPCOT
For the past several years, EPCOT has generally been celebrating 4 different festivals throughout the year — Flower & Garden in the Spring, the International Food & Wine Festival in the Fall, the International Festival of the Holidays in the winter, and the International Festival of the Arts right at the beginning of the new year. And with news about ticket prices in 2022 and other things, we started wondering — are the EPCOT festivals getting more expensive? We did some digging, and here’s what we found.
We’ve been enjoying ALL the tasty things at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and, we’ll just say, our stretchy pants have gotten a LOT of use lately!
International Food and Wine Festival
We heard that one of our favorite booths would likely be joining the festival today, so we made our way to EPCOT today to take a peek!
Now introducing: the greatest taste test you never knew you needed — MAPLE SYRUP taste testing!!
While it’s not as extravagant as the maple popcorn milkshake, you can find this sweet tasting experience at the Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival inside of the World Showplace.
World ShowPlace
World Showplace is a big blue tent-like structure near the UK Pavilion in World Showcase. Since they are monitoring how many people are inside World Showplace at any one time, you may arrive and be asked to join a virtual queue. Once you’re inside, head over to the maple syrup booth featuring the unique and wonderful flavors from Burton’s Maplewood Farm!
Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom is newly re-opened and operational. Now, it’s Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot’s turn to welcome back guests. Epcot is kicking off the theme park’s re-opening with a modified Food & Wine Festival on July 15th!
Epcot’s Spaceship Earth
The new version of Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival will be serving up old favorites like the Frothy Ramen and Teriyaki Chicken Bun and soon-to-be favorites like the booth that’s dedicated ENTIRELY to mac n’ cheese! The festival may be modified, but there’s still plenty to eat. We’ve got a free printable checklist that will help you make sure that you’re not missing a single thing!
