BREAKING NEWS!!! 2019 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival BOOTH MENUS!!!

Hey there Disney Food-Lovers!!!

     Well it's time for my favorite post of the year! The official announcement of the 2019 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival booth menus! If you love Food and Wine Festival, like I do, you have been checking Disney blogs and webpages for weeks now in anticipation, so you can start planning out which drool-inducing snacks you'll be enjoying this fall. If you are new to the Food and Wine Festival scene, don't worry... you'll catch on very quickly!

    Epcot has become very well known for their epic festivals. There's Festival of the Holidays at Christmastime, Festival of the Arts in the late winter, Flower and Garden in the spring, and the mother of all festivals... Food and Wine Festival... in the fall (August 29th-November 23rd). This festival centers on all things edible and delights guests with culinary surprises from all around the world. In a previous post, I covered what events and activities are being offered this year, but now it's time to get down to the deets and talk about the food and beverage offerings at the individual Global Marketplaces around World Showcase and beyond. I cannot wait any more, so without further ado.... Ladies and Gentlemen, start your tastebud engines!
