You do not need a real passport to eat and drink around the world… just a ticket and reservation to EPCOT.
While guests can dine and sip at the park’s World Showcase throughout the year, the annual International Food & Wine Festival is a months-long event that celebrates “the best in global food and drink.” This year’s celebration at Disney World features more than 25 festival food and wine marketplaces, including Spain, Brazil, India, Australia, Greece, Kenya and more!
Whether you’re planning your next family vacation or are part of the 21 and older crowd and want to get your bibbidi bobbidi booze on, there is something for guests of all ages to enjoy during the festival; from Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak scavenger hunt and concerts to, of course, attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.
