Disney World Unveils New Developments Ahead of Busy Season

Disney World has been abuzz with new developments in recent weeks. Among the most exciting updates is the return of the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, which kicked off in August. This annual event brings a wide range of limited-time snacks and drinks, as well as exclusive merchandise to the EPCOT park.

For those looking for guidance on what to try during the festival, Disney Food Blog has created a comprehensive guide detailing the top eats and drinks at the 2026 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival. Visitors can use the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Passport to track their culinary adventures and discover new favorites.

On a related note, the eagerly anticipated Lakeshore Lodge is set to open on July 1st, 2027. Disney has shared a first look at the hotel rooms, which will feature Waterfront Lake Houses, Nature-Inspired Studios and Villas, and Elevated Resort Rooms and Suites.

Another area of interest for fans of Tiny Train Town is its revamped town square, which now bears a striking resemblance to the real-life Germany Pavilion. The festival decorations have also been taken to new heights with miniature booths that mirror those found at the actual festival.
