The Epcot Food and Wine Festival is one of the most popular events at Walt Disney World<\/a>, and with good reason. Who wouldn’t want to eat their way around the world? We asked Kelly Stilwell to share her strategy for fitting it all in, including a few of her favorite bites from the Festival.<\/em><\/p>\n

From now until November 12, the Epcot Food and Wine Festival is the featured foodie attraction at Walt Disney World. With the Festival growing in size and offerings each year, epicureans from around the country flock to Orlando to try the latest and greatest creations from the Walt Disney World chefs.<\/p>\n

2018 marks 23 years of the Epcot Food and Wine Festival, and partygoers have 75 days to celebrate. And though tasting their way around the world is always the biggest lure, guests will also have the opportunity to learn about food, wine, and cocktails in interactive sessions, attend concerts from internationally acclaimed music artists, as well as take in the rides and other attractions Epcot offers year round. Even on a cloudy day, the view is spectacular.<\/p>\n
