The 24th Epcot® International Food & Wine Festival, which runs a record 87 days from August 29 to November 23. With less than two weeks from opening, here’s more details!
Two additional new marketplaces – The Donut Box and Cool Wash – will debut October 1, 2019, with sweet eats and refreshing sips. Disney chefs have harnessed their creative energies for a festival spin on the donut craze, producing irresistible marketplace goodies that include a Black and White Coffee Cocktail garnished with a fresh yeast donut sprinkled with chocolate espresso bean crumbles. And, there’s more – The Donut Box also will feature a Sweet Corn Fritter with Fresno and red pepper jelly, plus Strawberry-dusted Yeast Donut Holes. Also on the menu is a Strawberry Smoothie made with Blue Diamond Breeze Almondmilk® and an exclusive festival beer called Boston Cream Donut Ale (yes, we said “donut ale”!) from Central 28 Beer Company, located in DeBary, Fla.
Cool Wash will be a chill stop where you can create your own frozen beverages with slushy flavors ranging from Blue Raspberry to Orange Cream. Go crazy with mix-ins: Swedish Fish, Jelly Drops, Boba Pearls and Pop Rocks! Talk about a taste-bud party!
