Taste of Epcot Preview

With less than a week away from all four Walt Disney World properties being open, Disney snuck the menus for the A Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival into the My Disney Experience app. Cinderella Castle may be currently getting all of the attention with her new makeover but we’re already charting out our game plan for EPCOT’s opening day on July 15th, 2020!

This year’s festival will be the event’s 25th anniversary and will feature food and drink offerings from over 20 destinations. Along with previous Food and Wine Festival favorites, a handful of Flower and Garden Festival offerings will also make an appearance (sadly, the spring festival was cut short due to Disney’s COVID-19 closures). 

Let’s take a trip around the World Showcase to enjoy these mouth watering offerings!
