Hello Harriet!
Welcome to planDisney. I'm thrilled to help as you prepare to visit next October.
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is one of my favorite experiences at visit Walt Disney World Resort.
My pal Jessica and I gushed all about last year's festival on the planDisney Podcast and I'm once again preparing to enjoy the festival offerings this coming weekend. I have a long list of menu items to tackle but I'm also excited about the Eat to the Beat Concert Series lineup during my travel dates. I can't wait to sing along to Yellowcard's "Ocean Avenue" and relieve all my early 2000s memories.
The
musical lineup for this year was announced on July 1. If things stay on the same timeline, you can expect to see 2025 lineup announcements sometime next summer. Keep in mind that the schedule is always subject to change, but hopefully, you'll be able to enjoy some favorites during your 3-week visit. You can even opt for an
Eat to the Beat Dining Package to ensure a delicious Table-Service meal and guaranteed seating for the performance.
The Disney Eats: Foodie Guide is usually released closer to the festival start date so keep an eye out for that sometime next August. You can
review this year's offerings to get an idea of the flavors you might expect to see. I'm making a beeline for the Cast Iron-roasted Brussel Sprouts at Bramblewood Bites with plans to enjoy a Toasted Coconut Float from Swirled Showcase afterward.
Harriet, I hope this gives you a better idea of the timing. If you have any additional questions about the festival or your stay at
Disney's Port Orleans Resort-French Quarter please don't hesitate to come back and let us know. We're always happy to help!
Magic and memories,
Amy
