Travel with the Whitakers

This past weekend the kids and I were at Epcot for the first weekend of the 2021 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival. We had an amazing time and had some amazing food, too. The festival started on July 15 and runs through November 20, 2021.There’s LOTS of time to enjoy all of the amazing dishes. Throughout World Showcase there are locations to get festival merchandise. As the name of the Festival implies, there are TONS of amazing food and beverage options throughout Epcot. At the moment, there are a few festival marketplaces that aren’t open yet, they will open on October 1 st . Once all of the marketplaces there will be more than 30 locations offering Food and Wine Festival eats and drinks. During our time at the festival we tried 13 different food items.

 Last week we talked about where to get sweet snacks at Animal Kingdom. This week we're going to continue on with the topic of sweet snacks at the Disney Parks, but this time we're going to talk about where you can find sweet snacks at Epcot.  If you don't already know, Epcot is my favorite of the four Walt Disney World theme parks. It is also the park with the most places to eat - after all, World Showcase has eleven diffetent countires, cultures, and cuisines represented. You can also find tasty treats in Future World.  Future World  Sunshine Season - Pre-covid, Sunshine Seasons had a great bakery case. Hopefully, as the world works its way more and more towards normal, that case will return. As the time of writing, you can get a plant-based cookies and cream chocolate mousse cup and strawberry shortcake.  Traveler's Cafe - Enjoy pastries and your favorite Starbucks drinks at this in-park Starbucks location.   Joffery's - Enjoy coffee, pastries, donuts, and more
