food IS a theme park
The 2019 Epcot Food and Wine Festival is less than two weeks away and we can hardly believe it.

Today, we got a chance to take a sneak peek at the merchandise we can expect at the Festival. Take a look at what we found!
In case you missed it, the final showing of IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth will take place on September 30th before Epcot Forever makes its October 1st debut. And in celebration of Epcot’s iconic fireworks extravaganza, Farewell IllumiNations merchandise will soon be arriving in the park.

Though we previously brought you a peek at the limited-time merchandise, we wanted to remind you that the collection will officially launch at select merchandise locations in Epcot on June 17!
Epcot’s International Festival of the Arts begins on Friday
, and today DFB popped into a media preview to give you the scoop on some can’t miss merch — including Figment Ears that are absolutely a must buy! We also got to try several of the eats and see a lot of the other fun secrets coming to Festival of the Arts, so stay tuned for that post later today!
But first say hello to the boss. I love his new short pants so much. FYI, this new “Celebration Mickey” will be seen everywhere coming this Friday when the parks start fully celebrating his 90th birthday with new shows, new food, and new experiences! Stay tuned for that — we’ll be reporting on all of it!
Hello, Celebration Mickey!
And now ears. Beloved Figment — star of the updated and oft-maligned Journey Into Imagination in Epcot’s Future World — has finally gotten his due in Mickey ear form. And you’ve just got to see them.
We popped into Epcot to see what was happening in addition to the Food and Wine Festival. We found quite a few updates around the park!
Welcome to Epcot
We’ll never tire of seeing this sight — especially on a sunny day!
The 2016 Epcot Food and Wine Festival is officially underway!
We spent the better part of last week taking a look at all there is going on this year, and shared with you our Best of the Fest so far. And we aren’t finished yet!
We’ll be sharing our reviews of Marketplace Booths as well as impressions of some of the Special Events taking place throughout the Festival.
And speaking of special events, many of them take place in Festival Center, which serves as the headquarters for the Epcot Food and Wine Festival. But there’s more to the space than just stages for Culinary Demos and Beverage Seminars.
We are eager to share with you all that the Festival Center offers this year. Let’s head in and take a tour of the space. Along the way, I’ll also share with you some merchandise we spotted for 2016.
You’ll find the Festival Center located to the left as you enter Epcot and pass beneath Spaceship Earth. Head toward the old Wonders of Life Pavilion in Future World East, and you’ll be going in the right direction.
Entrance
Enter and head left or right down the easily accessible ramp, and you’ll come to the Information Desk. This is your first stop if you have questions, but it’s also where you’ll pick up tickets for events taking place in Festival Center. These include Culinary Demos, Beverage Seminars, and several other special events. [Read more…]
