Disney World sure knows how to do snacks — but one park, in particular, stands out above the rest.
EPCOT is known for its many festivals throughout the year, and they happen to be some of our favorite events. While the Flower & Garden Festival may still be underway, it looks like EPCOT is already preparing for the next one — Food & Wine! We’re not talking menu sneak peeks and merch drops — nope. There’s an even bigger sign that Food & Wine will be here before we know it!
Hey EPCOT — you okay?? We’re still in the midst of the Flower & Garden Festival until July 5th, but it looks like Disney has already jumped the gun and started setting up for the 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival! The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is an annual celebration of global cuisine in Disney World, and this year it takes place from July 27 through November 18, 2023.
But, before the Flower & Garden Festival has even ended, Food & Wine food booths have started popping up around the World Showcase! This seems pretty early to us, especially since we’re over a month from the start of Food & Wine and booths are still up for Flower & Garden! We’re certainly not complaining, though, as Food & Wine is one of our favorite festivals of the year (though, let’s be real, we love them all).
So far, we’ve spotted what looks like Ireland…
…Belgium…
…Spain…
…Kenya…
…The Alps…
…and India!
Disney has yet to confirm the food booths that will be available at this year’s festival, though we did already know that India and Spain would be returning based on an earlier announcement. Of course, we’re waiting on the edges of our seats for those booths to be revealed, and will likely have to wait even longer before we get the full list of menus.
The Eat to the Beat Concert Series is also returning to this year’s festival. The concerts take place on select nights during the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival at America Garden Theater. Showtimes will take place at 5:30PM, 6:45PM, and 8PM on Fridays through Mondays. Read more here!
