2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival – Basics and Tips

The 2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival is almost upon us. As I mentioned in our Food and Wine post from last year, having a game plan or strategy is crucial to making the best of the Fest.

The 2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival begins August 30th, and runs through November 12th.

Going into the Food and Wine Festival without a plan of attack is like going to the mall, pulling the first thing you see off the rack, and buying it, without checking the size, or if something that suits you better is right around the corner.

With over 30 marketplaces, it can be overwhelming, not to mention needlessly expensive, unless some planning is done.

This Month at Disney World April 2018

This Month at Disney World – April 2018

There are always new and exciting things happening at Disney World. Here are some things we are looking forward to this month.

Animal Kingdom’s 20th Anniversary Celebration (April 22-May 5)

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Animal Kingdom. Does that make anyone else feel old? No, just me. Okay, moving on.

The anniversary celebration begins on Earth Day, April 22nd, so Disney is expanding their Party for the Planet to include a welcome celebration, special PhotoPass opportunities, special merchandise, backstage experiences, and festival food and beverages (rumors are there will be kiosks like the Epcot festivals).

There is also a new behind the scenes tour that includes getting up-close and personal with elephants. Or if fancy food is more your style, Imagineers, animal care and conservation cast members will be hosting dinners at Tiffins.

The Party starts on April 22nd and continues through May 5.

Curious about what a Disney anniversary looks like and tips to enjoy it, check out the recap of Epcot’s 35th here.
