The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival  returns to Walt Disney World Resort July 14 through Nov. 19.

Teams of Disney chefs, mixologists and sommeliers have been testing, tasting and collaborating to create a smorgasbord of culinary delights, taking Guests on an epicurean journey as they discover new concepts and menu items at more than 25 Global Marketplaces located throughout EPCOT.

Returning favorites will include

• The Swanky Saucy Swine

• Appleseed Orchard

• Hops & Barley

• Earth Eats hosted by Impossible

• Shimmering Sips hosted by CORKCICLE.

Some Global Marketplaces will open a few weeks later during this 129-day event.

Beyond the sips and bites, a full menu of fun offers more ways for everyone in the family to enjoy the festival:

MagicBands were introduced in 2013 along with the MyMagic+ program, also called My Disney Experience. If you haven’t noticed, Disney likes to create multiple names for basically the same thing: Disney Genie+ / Lightning Lane and Memory Maker / PhotoPass are good examples. It’s not that MagicBands are bad in anyway, in fact they are neat little gadgets. It’s just that we don’t need them anymore, they're outdated. Today most park people are using their smartphones instead. Yep, your phone comes with a hidden MagicBand inside. Smartwatches too. Disney World MagicMobile uses the wallet feature in your phone. If you've used your phone to pay for items in a grocery store or to board a flight, you have already used your phone’s wallet technology. If you haven’t used the your phone’s wallet feature yet, that’s ok! Disney’s app will walk you through the setup process in just a few steps. 📱 See the full article here (it's free!) https://orlandoparksguy.com/blog/magicbands-magicmobile #orlandoparksguy #disneyworld #waltdisneyworld #magicband #disneyvacation #wdw #disneyparks #mydisneyvacation
