2009 Epcot Food and Wine Festival
Hi, DFB friends! It’s been quite a week in Disney World.
This week we got a refurbishment update, a surprising character experience, new Star Wars merchandise, and more! Let’s get into it.
We’ve already visited and reviewed all the booths from the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival this year.
But one booth (that opened on October 1st) has already switched things up. The menu is still the same, but the booth has moved locations in EPCOT! Here’s where you can find the delicious crispy pork belly and cheesy rolls in World Showcase now.
To end EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival, runDisney will be holding its annual Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend! This year’s event is Disney villains-themed and features a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and a Two Course Challenge.
Today, we got some more details about the Wine and Dine Weekend, including a way to ride Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and more after the park closes!
This past week has been a BIG one for Disney World, specifically EPCOT! The park celebrated its 39th Anniversary on October 1st (the same day as the big 5-0 in Magic Kingdom), and its anniversary was greeted by new fireworks, new dining experiences, and much more!
A lot has happened in EPCOT since we last checked in on what was new, including the premiere of a NEW fireworks show, Harmonious! Let’s recap what else is new in EPCOT this week.
This past month has been one to remember when it comes to Disney World dining! From new restaurants opening to new menu items STILL showing up at the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, it feels like this has been one of the most jam-packed foodie months of 2021!
Of course, with all of that food we’re trying out, there are going to be some winners…and unfortunately some losers. Today, we’re revisiting some of our top and bottom picks for what we had in the month of September around Disney World!
We hope you’re ready for October because Disney World is changing BIG TIME.
There are nine big changes happening at Disney World this month, so if you have a trip planned, here’s what you need to know.
The 2021 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has been going on for quite some time, but a number of booths just opened recently!

The Brazil booth has opened!
While many of the booths opened back when the Festival began in July, and more followed in August, some booths just opened on October 1st, the day that marks the start of the 50th Anniversary celebrations in Disney World. One of the booths that just opened recently is the Brazil booth, and it’s FULL of returning items and some big fan favorites!
One of the best parts of EPCOT in Disney World is World Showcase, where you can enjoy “visiting” countries from around the world.
In the Canada pavilion you can generally find shopping, maple popcorn, the Canada film, and the Le Cellier restaurant. During the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Canada is also home to the Canada Booth and the Appleseed Orchard Booth. One Canada feature has been missing over the past few months, and now it looks like we finally have a return date!
Have you gotten the chance to enjoy EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival?
If you haven’t yet, don’t fret! The fest runs through November 20th so you’ve still got several months to get in on the fun! When you go, don’t forget that the fest isn’t JUST about food. It’s also about entertainment and we’ve got some rockin’ news!
Well, August was a BIG month when it comes to Disney news.
