Hi there Michell! Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel. Pull up a chair and have a snack while we chat about my all-time favorite Walt Disney World event!
Ever since my first taste of the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, I've been back every year to nosh on the amazing cuisines from around the world. My life just isn't complete without a cup of Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup and a Creme Brulee from France. I can almost taste it now...
So while we're both dreaming of our favorite morsels from the Festival, let's get down to details. The dates for this year's event have been announced as September 25 through November 16, so mark your calendar!
Last year, the Eat to the Beat Concert Series lineup was announced in mid-May. While I haven't found any listings on the Walt Disney World websites, I did find a partial list on the Disney Food Blog. Just go there and search "Eat to the Beat," and you should find it. The schedule for premium events like Party for the Senses came out in July last year, so we probably have a bit of a wait for that.
Keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog, since any new information that comes out will be announced there. I also love the Disney Food Blog for all things Festival related. They'll have a full overview of the Marketplace booths once they're announced.
I hope this helps you plan your epic culinary adventure at Epcot, Michell. And if you see someone there with Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup in one hand and Creme Brulee in another, it's probably me!
Have a magical day,
Kathy K.
