News From the Epcot Food and Wine Festival Preview!
We’ve got great news for Disney Dole Whip lovers!!
Dole Whip Debuts at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
Dole Whip Is Coming to the 2013 Food and Wine Festival!
That’s right! It was such a huge hit at the Flower and Garden Festival earlier this year that it’s back by popular demand.
There’s one major change, though — this time around, the Dole Whip will be orange!
And there are plans to serve with a liqueur once more. While the flavor profile isn’t finalized, I can tell you it’s going to be a very delicious addition to the enhanced Food and Wine Festival Menu at the Refreshment Port!
Sneak Peek! New Epcot Food and Wine Festival Menu Item PHOTOS!
I did get the chance to try a couple of the new (and returning) items for this year! Take a look!
Scotland Booth — NEW this year!
The Scotland booth will be debuting at this year’s festival!
We now know the menu, and we are also getting a sneak peek of the new Scotland Passport Stamp design (in the bottom right corner)!

This was incredible and had the whole table raving! I have a feeling it will be a big hit at this year’s festival!
Poland Booth
The guest-favorite Poland Booth introduces the Frozen Szarlotka (Frozen Polish Apple Pie) this year, featuring Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka.

This drink will be the perfect “Fall in Florida” cocktail. You’ll have the flavors of Autumn, but in a refreshing, frozen state!
Desserts & Champagne Booth
The Desserts and Champagne Booth is back with another yummy trio of desserts, including a Chocolate Orange Cupcake, Hazelnut Chocolate Cheesecake, and Morello Cherry Pistachio Mousse combination.

Other Epcot Food and Wine Festival Updates…
As always, there were a few details that came out through the course of the evening. A couple of booths that we’ve seen in the past couple of years — Scandinavia and Caribbean — will not be returning in 2013. Additionally, the complimentary wine tastings at the Festival Welcome Center’s wine shop are also not likely to return.
