Festival Of The Holidays Foodie Guide 2020

The holiday season arrived at the Walt Disney World Resort, which means we are closer to taste the delicious food from Epcot International Festival of the Holidays! 

Right now the Food and Wine Festival is still taking place around the World Showcase, but beginning November 27, it will be transformed into the holiday season filled with festive decorations, holiday music, family-friendly activities and of course tasty food and beverages.
