The Epcot International Food & Wine Festival kicked off on July 15th and is now in full swing! Each year the Festival includes Global Marketplaces where you can taste your way around the world, live entertainment and fun activities the whole family can enjoy. For avid collectors, there's also limited-edition event merchandise available for purchase. If you haven't visited the Festival yet, no worries! The Festival runs until November 20th so there is still time to visit. We explored the Festival offerings a couple weeks ago and I'm ready to share our review with all of you.

I'm looking forward to revisiting the Festival in October to try even more tasty treats!
