 Today we're taking our first look at the amazing EPCOT Food and Wine Festival for the 2016 season. As you'll see there is SO much good food and drink to take in this year that we can't even fit it into one update. So guess we'll have to do it again soon. =) Written by Renée Girard (Click on any of the pictures below to see a larger version) We're going to be eating and drinking our way around the world today at Epcot!    Signs at the entrance of Epcot with some food favorites    There are several shops and kiosks around Epcot to do some shopping for food and wine festival merchandise
You can get your own Food and Wine festival medal for $200 to wear proudly around Epcot  The Chew will be back filming at Epcot once again this year   Oooh, selfie stick at a Disney park  First stop of the day is Farm Fresh for some loaded mac and cheese.   We got the always popular pork slider in Hawaii but someone ate it before I could take a photo   They are making great use of The Odyssey building again for one of our favorite stops, craft beer!   We'll take one of everything, please!
We're skipping desserts and champagne for now, but it looks like they have one of the priciest drinks at the festival.
Islands of The Caribbean is a new booth for 2016. 
The wine and cheese sampler is delicious! Highly recommend getting this.
 We will definitely be stopping back at the chocolate studio later!
The peanut butter and whites chocolate mousse with the festival Cabernet Sauvignon is excellent at The Chew Collective
Loaded Greek nachos and spanakopita from Greece. Yum! 
 The pretzel bread is an awesome addition to the cheddar cheese soup this year!   The coffee stands have some seasonal offerings and specialty drinks for the festival too
$1 coffee at Disney? Yes!
The warm chocolate pudding from Ireland is always amazing!
We love the cheese bread from Brazil!
Another new item this year is the spicy hummus fries from Morocco. So good!
 Disappointed that a beer flight wasn't offered at Hops & Barley but we still enjoyed the Anchor Brewing Liberty Ale   Pumpkin fans rejoice, you can get pumpkin spice funnel cake at Epcot!  Escaping the rain showers and taking a break at the Chase Lounge. 
The Brewer's Collection offers an unadvertised beer flight, hooray!
RIP Mexico margarita stand.  Please be responsible at the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival . Don't drink and climb.  The Festival Center at the old Wonders of Life building at Epcot   At the Festival Center, you can attend seminars, do some shopping, and sample wine and chocolate 
Handmade chocolate displays at the Festival Center: Ratatouille, Star Wars, A Bug's Life and Expedition Everest
A look at a few of the booths we have yet to sample ... but we'll be back. =) 
 And some more... it's pretty much impossible to try everything in one day at Epcot! Editors Note: Challenge Accepted!!! 
 After eating and drinking around the world, it's time to go soarin' around the world.   The bakery in The Land at Epcot always has some really cool treats!
We stopped by the Inside Out meet and greet to say hi to Joy and Sadness 
Traveling around the world again for a few more things. Cooper's Brewery ale from Australia is yummy!  Beef brisket and Sam Adams grapefruit IPA from Hops and Barley  Los Lobos performing for Eat to the Beat  Finishing the night with some delicious Belgian waffles!  Attempting to wait for Frozen in hopes that the wait time is less than posted (75 min). Hey look, Sven is proud of his medal!   Frozen Ever After was only a 25 min wait. I have to admit, we really love this ride! Here's a rare sight, an empty queue.  Goodnight from Epcot! Had a great time eating and drinking around the world at the Food and Wine Festival!
