    Is the Florida Blue lounge at Epcot going to be open this year during the Eat to the Beat Food Festival?

    Hello, Walter, and thanks for stopping by planDisney! You'll arrive for your Walt Disney World Resort adventure in just a few days, so I hope your Mickey suitcase is packed. It sounds like you plan to enjoy the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, so let's do some digging to see what offerings you'll find.

    My first tip is to keep an eye on the festival landing page online or in your mobile app for the latest details on experiences such as the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, Global Marketplaces, and more. I browsed the different tabs on this page but didn't see any mention of the Florida Blue Lounge, so I decided to dig a little deeper.

    I chatted with a helpful Cast Member who confirmed that there's no information to share about the lounge at this time. She mentioned it has also been used for Disney Vacation Club Members in the past, so it sounds like we'll have to sit tight for now and wait for those details to emerge.   

    I still recommend heading over to check out the space in the Morocco Pavilion while you're at EPCOT. The Cast Member wasn't sure what the exact entry criteria would be, so it's worth a try once it opens. And policies are always subject to change, so I'm sprinkling pixie dust to help us both relax in this space during the festival!

    If the lounge doesn't open at all this year, my tip is to relax in the comfy, air-conditioned seating at Sunshine Seasons in The Land Pavilion. My friends and I often meet in this spacious area to relax and regroup. And we always ride Living with the Land while we're there; it's iconic!

    Walter, I wish I had more concrete news about the lounge to share, but maybe we'll get a magical surprise, and it will be open to all guests soon. Have a fabulous visit and reach out to us here at planDisney again!

    Magic awaits,
    Elaine
