food IS a theme park
Do you remember…that an EPCOT celebration is just around the corner?
Crowds at Cosmic Rewind
We’re already in the middle of the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, and it feels like Festival of the Holidays is almost here, too. While those are both great, there’s a secret holiday at EPCOT that is only for one day that you won’t want to miss.
EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival is kicking off shortly with tons of exciting eats, drinks, and entertainment.
2024 Food and Wine Festival
The festival, which starts on August 28th, 2025, is sure to bring back tons of favorites along with some brand new bites. While we do love this festival, there’s one little secret we have that makes it better every time. We’ve talked as a team and decided it’s time to let you in on it!
The 2025 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival kicks off August 28th and runs through November 22nd, and there’s a lot more to it than just strolling around World Showcase with a drink in hand.
2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
From exclusive eats and returning fan-favorite booths to live music and limited-edition merch, the Festival is PACKED with options — and your day can get overwhelming fast if you show up without a plan. Before you start mapping out your booth-hopping strategy, here are a few things you’ll want to know so you can hit the ground running when the Festival opens later this month.
We are LESS than a month away from the start of the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. In fact, we are 24 days away to be exact (and yes, we are most definitely counting the days!) We are getting more and more excited for the start of the festival — and we are also still eagerly waiting for Disney to release the menus for this year’s festival. Any day now, Disney, any day now!
2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
While we wait, though, there are 5 major changes we are expecting at this year’s Food and Wine Festival, and they might matter more than you think! So, let’s take a look at these changes so you can be as prepared as possible.
Disney has announced the Eat to the Beat concert series line-up for the 2024 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival! Several new bands will be joining Eat to the Beat this year, but that’s not the only update — prices for the event’s dining packages have gone UP.
Eat to the Beat
The Eat to the Beat Concert Series is part of the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. The concerts take place on select nights at the America Garden Theater (in the American Adventure pavilion), with shows on Fridays through Mondays throughout the festival.
The shows are free to watch, but if you want to guarantee your spot in the theater and enjoy a meal just before or after the show, you can purchase one of the Eat to the Beat dining packages. Now, we know the prices for the 2024 dining packages.
We’re just a few weeks away from the Dining Plan returning to Disney World, and we’re trying to collect all the information we can before it launches!
Full spread at Geyser Point
When the Dining Plan was announced to return on January 9th, 2024, Disney World started updating its website with all the important info about how it will be used. But one section was left blank — the details about how to use the Dining Plan with concert dining packages at EPCOT!
EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival is in full swing!
Food and Wine Festival is here!
We ate everything at this year’s festival so we could give you a full review, but the food isn’t the only exciting part of this event. You can also experience the Eat to The Beat Concert Series, which provides live music from many different bands every night of the festival. You can grab dining packages for these concerts, but here’s why we don’t necessarily recommend them.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
