    The Walt Disney World Resort global dine-around – the 24th Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – kicked off Thursday and runs through Nov. 23 with irresistible bites, sips and non-stop family fun.

    That’s 87 delicious days of Festival-exclusive edibles and entertainment, such as a Candy Sushi-making experience, Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt, the rockin’ Eat to the Beat Concert Series and Disney du Jour Dance Party.

    Opening week is set to thrill foodies at more than 30 global marketplaces, filled with eats like the warm raclette Swiss cheese debuting at The Alps Global Marketplace, a brand-new location for this year’s event. Follow your nose to the jerk-spiced chicken grilled on site for all to savor at the Islands of the Caribbean Global Marketplace. And get ready for a taste of autumn at the Appleseed Orchard Global Marketplace near Le Cellier Steakhouse, where a chill vibe plus charcuterie and cheese nibbles pair well with fresh apple-enhanced libations plus fanciful flights with spice and kick. 

    Toast the Festival kickoff with us at Shimmering Sips Mimosa Bar, where mimosas will be served individually or as a flight for those who can’t choose between vibrant fruity flavors like key lime and blood orange.

    It’s that time of year! The days are getting shorter, kids are back to school, the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is in full swing and so is Monday Night Football. Today, Disney announced the new Food & Wine Tailgate Tasting hosted by ESPN’s Monday Night Football.

    Running on select Mondays throughout the festival, the 45-minute program will pair tailgating-inspired food and beverages. Guests can enjoy a flight of three sample size food items inspired by the cities playing in the game each week along with three different beverages, while learning from culinary experts about how to prepare these dishes.

    The Food & Wine Tailgate Tasting is a complimentary program and will be offered on September 17, 24 and October 1, 8 and 15 from 4:30-5:15 p.m. in the Festival Center.

    Guests interested in attending may pick up a wristband at the Festival Center starting at 9 a.m. each Monday for that day’s seminar. All guests must be present to receive their wristbands. Both wristbands and seating at the event are available on a first come, first serve basis.
