Disney World is in its “self-improvement” era. You know, every few years when you go through a phase and want to overhaul your entire life? We’ve all done it!

EPCOT

The theme parks are changing at a rapid rate! A new attraction is days away from opening, new lands are being built, and that’s just scratching the surface. Over in EPCOT, things are about to look pretty different in just a few days, and if you aren’t prepared, it’ll catch you off guard!

There are so many wonderful things about the second Disney World park. The rides are standouts! You can walk around the world in just one day. Plus, we haven’t even touched on the food yet. The park is also known for its amazing festivals that rotate throughout the year, bringing different snacks, drinks, entertainment, and more.

2025 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival

Right now, the most popular festival is underway! It’s called the Food and Wine Festival, and it’s easily the park’s largest of the rotating events. This year, the festival is running from August 28th through November 22nd, 2025. That means on November 23rd, POOF! All of the Remys, food booths, and decorations will be gone for the year.

EPCOT will be looking veryyyy different in just a short amount of time. The park almost always has an event going on, but there are pockets of time every few months where no festival is taking place, and that can really throw you off your game. Food isn’t as easy to stumble on, and the park feels a bit emptier by comparison.

While we still love the park, we won’t deny we’ve gotten very accustomed to the livlines that the festivals bring! Now, you do still have plenty of time to enjoy the festival over the next few weeks, so no stress just yet. The Eat to the Beat Concert series still has 5 artists that have yet to hit the stage!

We also tried tons of amazing foods and drinks that will be worth a second (or third) pass before the event wraps up. Even if you’ll be in EPCOT after November 22nd, there are still lots of things to look forward to.

Frozen Pomegranate & Raspberry Tea

EPCOT’s next festival won’t be too far away! Festival of the Holidays begins on November 28th, 2025, and it will celebrate different cultures and holidays around the globe through food, storytelling, and more.

2024 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays

This festival is one of our favorites (honestly, they all are), but the holiday storytellers and special sweets really tend to set this one apart! Plus, this festival features ride overlays like Journey into Imagination with Figment and Living with the Land.

Tuscany Holiday Kitchen Spread

This festival is on the shorter end as it only runs until December 30th, 2025. After that, we’ll have a bit of a break before the net festival kicks off! That being said, make sure you wrap up your food and wine tasting goals before November 22nd.
