July 09, 2021 ,

Another week has passed and this past week Disney released quite a lot of BIG news!

Time to Head to Disney World!

Planning to visit the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and wondering what items will be available? Been waiting for news about Disney’s Port Orleans Resort reopening? Hoping for news about Halloween activities at Disneyland? This week we got updates about all of that and MORE, and now we’re breaking it all down for you!

1. EPCOT Food & Wine Festival Menus & More

The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival starts in just a few days (on July 15th) and we’ve already gotten a look at the entertainment that will be available, a peek at the merchandise, and a list of the booths that will be there. But, this week we finally got a look at the FULL menus for all of the food booths!

The available menu items include some returning favorites as well as a whole bunch of new treats to try! We’ve also gotten a look at the specialty drinks you’ll be able to enjoy at the Joffrey’s Coffee locations throughout the park, and a list of the items that will be on the Festival’s cheese crawl.

But, we noticed there’s one big item missing from the menus (hint: it’s a fan-favorite). So far, a number of booths are already up in EPCOT, and we can’t wait to see more of them up and ready to go once the Festival begins. Just keep in mind that some booths won’t open until October.

If you’re looking for Food & Wine Festival merchandise, we’ve already shared a first look at the upcoming collections. But, this past week we also got a peek at the NEW spirit jersey for this year’s Festival! It’ll be available online and in the park soon.

We’ll definitely be on the lookout for more updates about the Food & Wine Festival, and we’ll be sure to share them all with you!
