Starting on July 27 through November 18, guests visiting EPCOT will get to experience and enjoy the flavors of this year’s EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. There will be plenty of different flavors from around the world to enjoy during this year’s festival. There will also be a new experience that Muppet fans (and everyone else) will want to experience courtesy of Muppet Labs!
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker will be experimenting with delicious flavors at Brew-Wing Lab in Odyssey for what is promised to be a ” flavorful adventure, featuring the culinary creations – and madcap mishaps” that could only be made possible by Muppet Labs.
“Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his faithful assistant, Beaker, of Muppet Labs will welcome you to their taste-testing headquarters, where the inventive duo are busy creating scientific snacks and mind-blowing beverages. You’ll have a chance to sample some of their kooky concoctions like the Unnecessarily Spicy, Yet Extremely Tasty Scotch Bonnet Pepper-Curry Wings, or the Pickle Milkshake. Consider it a flavor experiment in the name of science!”
The arrival of this Muppet Labs experience is just the most recent entertaining offering to come from The Muppets in recent months. Earlier this year The Muppets Mayhem arrives on Disney+. In it, The Electric Mayhem create their first album after turing for over four decades. Another Muppet offering will be arriving later this year at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for Disney Jollywood Nights during the holidays at Walt Disney World Resort.
Along with the potentially interesting offerings from Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker at this year’s EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, there will be plenty of others to be found and enjoyed as well! The Disney Parks Blog gave a look at what else there is to anticipate for this year’s festival. Check out the details here:
Global Marketplaces to Satisfy Every Palate
Get ready to sip and savor at more than 25 Global Marketplaces including returning favorites such as The Fry Basket, Flavors from Fire, Canada, India and Spain marketplaces. Also coming later this fall, the culinary team will add four new Global Marketplaces to commemorate the Disney100 celebration: Char & Chop, Wine & Wedge, Bubbles & Brine and Swirled Showcase. Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog, where more details will be shared in a Foodie Guide soon.
Delectable Merchandise to Savor at Home
What would a visit to the festival be without great merch to mark the occasion? There are so many crave-worthy collections, it will be hard to choose just one. And really – why choose? Here are some of my favorite items.
The 2023 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival Event Logo Collection marries bright colors and bold graphics for a fresh new look. For the first course, get ready to swoon for new ears! You’ll be ready to “choose your own course” with this colorful addition to your collection. Look closely, and you’ll even spot Spaceship Earth! And check out this sporty Spirit Jersey track jacket, featuring Chef Mickey Mouse in his chef’s best.
A must-have Loungefly mini backpack commemorates Spaceship Earth in the pocket detail and will let everyone know that you’re a serious EPCOT foodie. Personally, I have my eye on this CORKCICLE stemless wine glass. It’s perfect for warm summer days, tailgating, and trips to the beach. And perfect for every casual occasion, these whimsical coasters are sure to be a hit at your next backyard bash.
The Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse Picnic Collection includes this Dooney & Bourke tote bag – the quintessential accessory for carrying a baguette and some wine to your next al fresco gathering.
Gathering around the table is the best way to spend quality time with family and friends, and the 2023 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival Disney Encanto Collection will help you entertain in style. Don this fashionable apron as you prepare your feast. This colorful serving platter brings the Family Madrigal casita to life in a riot of vibrant color.
