The Walt Disney World puts up an all-time favorite event every year! The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival allows guests to take a grand tour around the world by sampling food and drinks from many different countries and regions that are called Global Marketplaces. The festival officially starts on August 29 and ends on November 23, 2024! Guests are invited to visit all 6 continents or “Global Marketplaces” to try their delicious menu items. Each marketplace sets up a special spot for the event and offer small-size food items that represent that region and can be paired with their corresponding beer, wine or sparkling beverage. Pairings are encouraged but feel free to indulge in whatever catches your eye. Global marketplaces open 11:00 AM to park close, unless otherwise noted.
Although there’s plenty of time to book your Disney tickets for this event, it’s better to start thinking about where you’ll stay when you visit Orlando. The perfect location for a hotel near Walt Disney World® Resort is in Lake Buena Vista, and it puts you in the heart of everything there is to see and do in this celebrated area. When you stay at the Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa, you’ll only be 3 miles away from the Walt Disney World® Theme Parks and 4 miles away from the entrance to Disney Springs®.
