The 2016 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival will run 62 days from Sept 14 to Nov 14. That’s 9 extra days of time to enjoy what EPCOT’s amazing chefs have cooked up for the marketplaces scattered around the park. Be prepared to add an extra notch to your belt!
2016 will see 30 marketplaces in both World Showcase and Future World. Some of the new books include: Chocolate Studio, Islands of the Caribbean, and Wine and Dine Studio. I’m also looking forward to the return of the Chew collective.
