Indulge in a flavorful feast

A party is never complete without tasty treats and sensational sips. There is plenty of that and more at the EPCOT International Food & Wine International Festival running until Nov. 18.

Hispanic and Latin American cultures are full of art of all types – paintings, pottery, graphics, film and more. Each country has its own art forms that weave together to form a tapestry of diversity. Here are some of the ways Walt Disney World will celebrate these rich traditions:

The 2023 EPCOT International Food & Wine Disney Encanto Collection features fun merchandise, including a colorful serving platter and apron in vibrant colors.

Disney Skyliner will decorate gondolas with the Familia Madrigal from “Encanto” and Walt Disney World transportation will be adorning buses with beloved characters from “Coco.”
