Disney has made some calls about what to expect in the months following the park reopenings.

We just got some serious clarification for the future of Disney World’s 2020 special events. To our delight, the 2020 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival will occur, but in a new form — A Taste of Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. Unfortunately, one popular offering will not be available; the Eat to the Beat Concert Series has been canceled.

Eat to the Beat Concerts are extremely popular and typically draw large crowds. In the interest of physical distancing and the safety of guests, performers, and Cast Members; Disney has announced that they will not be hosting these concerts this year.

They have, however, introduced a replacement. Local Epcot entertainment like Mariachi Cobre, the JAMMitors, and more will be performing at the America Garden Theatre in lieu of the concert series. Performances will be spread out over the course of the day so that guests have more of an opportunity to see them.

We will be learning a lot more about what a reopened Disney World will look like in the coming days — especially with the reopening of some Disney World resort hotels on June 22nd. Keep an eye on DFB for all of the latest updates and tips to navigating Disney’s new normal.

We’ve been keeping an eye out for any updates about the 2020 Epcot Food and Wine Festival.

Epcot Food and Wine Festival

Epcot is set to reopen on July 15th, and we’ve been wondering how the Food and Wine Festival could be different this year. Disney hasn’t yet released information regarding the festival dates, menus, or special events, but we noticed something interesting regarding the Eat to the Beat Concert Series.

Recently, Mickey Thomas from Starship tweeted about the Disney World’s Epcot Food and Wine Festival Eat to the Beat concerts potentially being canceled. The tweet has since been deleted. So we wanted to do some investigating.

While Disney World has not released the lineup for the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, we did know of several confirmed performers based on their published tour schedules. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, .38 Special, Tiffany, and Taylor Dayne all had Eat to the Beat performances listed on their tour schedules earlier this year.

Now previously, Taylor Dayne’s tour schedule listed Eat to the Beat performances on October 9th and 10th.

Taylor Dayne Tour Schedule as of February 2020

However, when we checked her tour schedule today, we noticed that the Eat to the Beat performances have been removed.

As of now, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Tiffany, and .38 Special do still have Eat to the Beat listed on their tour schedules. We’ll continue to keep an eye on their schedules to see whether any other changes are made.

Do you think the Eat to the Beat Concert Series will return to the Food and Wine Festival this year? Let us know in the comments!

One of Our MANY Questions About Disney World’s Food and Wine Festival Might Have Been ANSWERED!

Since Disney World closed in mid-March, we had wondered how different the parks and experiences would be upon reopening. One of those experiences we had a ton of questions about was the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival.

2019 Epcot Food and Wine Festival

Based on our trip today to Disney Springs, we have gained some insight on how the festival may be a bit different this fall!

We stopped by the Daily Poutine (because we obviously needed cheese and gravy after all these months inside!), and as we went to grab our fork to dig into our delicious boat of french fries, gravy, and cheese curds, we noticed something a bit different about the utensil dispenser!

Daily Poutine at Disney Springs

The utensil dispensers are set up now so you do not have to come in contact with any surface that another person may have touched. Before, the utensil dispensers commonly had a lever on the side that everyone needed to push to receive a new utensil. Here’s the old style:

Old Style Fork Dispenser

And the NEW:

New sanitary utensil dispenser at Daily Poutine

Now, you just pull out your individual utensil and off you go! The ONLY thing you will be touching is the handle of the utensil that YOU will use! After you pull out your fork, another handle pops out!

The utensils themselves look a little different too and are designed in a way to fit in these new dispensers.

Looking ahead to the Food and Wine Festival, we wouldn’t be surprised if these new dispensers were placed at each one of the outdoor food booths! We can probably expect to see these at counter service locations when the parks reopen, too.

Check out some of the other health and safety procedures we’ve witnessed at Disney Springs here!
