You may be sad that Food and Wine Festival is winding down, but I have exciting news for you today: It's time to whet your appetite for the holidays with the just announced menus for the Holiday Kitchens! If you're not sure what I am talking about, this year, Disney is officially turning the holidays into one of Epcot's famous and hugely popular festivals, The Epcot International Festival of the Holidays. As part of the celebration, Guests will be able to indulge in holiday treats from all around the world, as they stroll World Showcase, checking out the holiday decor and entertainment. The Festival will run from November 19th-December 30th, and it will be packed with scavenger hunts, holiday shows and so much more! I am SO excited to preview this event, so let's get to it!
