Today the Epcot® International Food & Wine Festival at the Walt Disney World® Resort kicks off its six week celebration of all good things from around the world.  In addition to the amazing attractions and pavilions, visitors can purchase regional foods and wines in appetizer sizes from the marketplace which features culinary delights from Athens, Buenos Aires, New Dehli, Bangkok, Mexico City, New Orleans, Paris, Shanghai, Vienna, and other major foodie destinations. Renowned chefs and winemakers will also be presenting special programs and demonstrations throughout the festival.  Some of the culinary events and/or meals may require a reservation and additional fee, but will be well worth it! 

While this is technically a Food and Wine Festival, there is much more to this popular event.  The "Eat to the Beat" concert series presents incredible musical acts for every "taste" at the American Gardens Theater each day at 5:15pm, 6:30pm, and 7:45pm.  These concerts are included with your regular theme park admission.  Check out the schedule* below:
