The 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is back, running from January 17 through February 24, and it's bringing a vibrant lineup of art, entertainment, and—most importantly—food! As a self-proclaimed Disney foodie and travel enthusiast, this festival holds a special place in my heart, especially when it comes to indulging in 
creative, delicious dishes from around the world.
Here’s a look at the highlights, including my personal favorites, must-try new menu items, and a few daring dishes I might just have to skip!
Personal Favorites Making a Return- Wild Mushroom Risotto (Gourmet Landscapes, Canada): Creamy, earthy, and elevated with aged parmesan, truffle shavings, and a zinfandel reduction—this dish is a festival classic that I’m thrilled to see again.- Mozzarella Fritta (L’Arte di Mangiare, Italy): Breaded fresh mozzarella,
flash-fried to golden perfection, and served with a palette of dipping condiments. It’s crispy, gooey comfort food that never disappoints.
New Must-Try DishesI’m always eager to explore what’s new, and this year’s lineup does not disappoint! These dishes are at the top of my list:- Tricolore (L’Arte di Mangiare, Italy): Cheese-filled ravioloni served 
with pomodoro, cream, and pesto sauces. It sounds like a flavor explosion and a true work of culinary art.- Hazelnut Cannoli (L’Arte di Mangiare, Italy): Chocolate-hazelnut cannoli cream, dipped in chocolate and graham cracker crumbs, and topped with toasted marshmallows—this dessert is bound to satisfy any sweet tooth.- Caprese Poutine (Refreshment Port, Canada): French fries topped with confit tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, basil pesto, and balsamic glaze. It's a delightful Italian-Canadian fusion!
- Deviled Egg Trio (The Artist’s Table, America): A playful take on deviled eggs with unique flavors like Pimento Cheese, Green Goddess, and BLT.
Adventurous Dishes I’m Hesitant to TryI love experimenting with new flavors, but there are a couple of items that give me pause:
- Charred Octopus (Connections Eatery, World Discovery): Served with crushed fingerling potatoes and romesco sauce, this dish features a full octopus leg. While I’m all for fresh seafood, the presentation might be a bit too bold for me this year.- Squid Ink Pasta (Connections Eatery, World Discovery): It’s paired with lump crab and truffle cream, but the striking black color and strong flavors might be an acquired taste.
Wonderful Walk of Colorful CuisineThis year’s Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine food stroll is another must-do! Collect stamps from select colorful dishes (🎨) in your Festival Passport and redeem them for a sweet prize at Deco Delights. I’ll definitely be checking off a few of these vibrant dishes as I eat my way around the park.
Other Notable New DishesHere are a few more standouts I’m excited to try:- Beef Wellington-inspired Croissant Supreme (Figment’s Inspiration Station): Creamed spinach croissant pinwheel topped with mustard-grilled flank steak and red wine sauce.
- Pithiviers de Canard et Volaille (L’Art de la Cuisine Française, France): A puff pastry filled with duck, chicken, onions, cranberries, and mushrooms.- Har Gow (The Painted Panda, China): Shrimp dumplings with pumpkin purée and chili oil drizzle—a fun twist on a dim sum classic.
Sweet Sips and Colorful CocktailsPair your dishes with imaginative drinks like the Imagination Lemonade with butterfly pea tea, the Frozen French Martini, or the Color Craze Latte + Donut (perfect for coffee lovers like me).
The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts continues to be a feast for the senses, and the 2025 lineup promises to be one of the most exciting yet. Whether you’re returning for festival favorites or diving 
into bold new flavors, there’s something here for everyone.

The Certified Confidant designation is earned through Hyatt's Inclusive Collection Confidant Collective program — the official training and certification platform for one of the most prestigious luxury all-inclusive portfolios in the world. Earning it requires completing ten core Confidant Learning courses, passing each with a score of 85% or higher covering the full portfolio of Hyatt's all-inclusive brands including Secrets, Dreams, Breathless, Zoëtry, Hyatt Ziva, Hyatt Zilara, Hyatt Vivid, and more — spanning Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and beyond.
For you, that means when I recommend a Hyatt Inclusive Collection property, I know the difference between brands, room categories, and experiences — and exactly which one fits your trip. Not every resort is right for every traveler, and this certification means I can guide you to the one that's actually right for you.
The Certified Sandals Specialist designation is one of the most recognized credentials in luxury all-inclusive travel. Earning it requires completing an in-depth training program covering every aspect of the Sandals and Beaches resort portfolios — room categories, destinations, inclusions, group experiences, and destination weddings.
The program spans 21 lessons across four chaptera covering everything from resort comparisons to booking strategy — and it covers both brands. Sandals is the gold standard in adults-only, luxury all-inclusive Caribbean travel. Beaches extends that same level of quality to family travel.
For you, that means when I recommend a Sandals or Beaches resort, I'm not pulling from a website — I'm drawing on specialized, brand-certified knowledge of exactly what each property offers and which one is right for your trip.
The ALGVPro certification is earned through Apple Leisure Group Vacations — the nation's #1 seller of all-inclusive vacations and the leading provider of travel to Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and the Caribbean. This specialist designation means I've completed an advanced multi-module training program covering resort brands, destination expertise, and booking strategy — and earned continuing education credits through the Travel Institute in the process.
For you, that means I'm not guessing when I recommend a resort. I have deep, trained knowledge of the brands, the properties, and how to get you the best possible experience — backed by one of the most respected names in vacation travel.
Outstanding planning and direction. Called on a whim, two days later I’m sipping a cool drink beach/poolside in another country. 1st class service brought me first class experience. The destination treated me like a king.No issues. The nice thing is, as a senior, Bre set my WhatsApp with her so I felt like , although 1900 miles away, I had a safety unmbrella over. Bre made sure I was covered for any medical emergency to have an critical path back home if needed. Bre , through general conversation my meal preference picked out for my flights! (Sliders were awesome). They already knew! That about covers a seemlessoperation. Thanks Bre, Yellowstone USA next. MFStone

When most people hear 'Disney World,' they picture strollers, character breakfasts, and children melting down in the heat. And honestly? That's fair.
But here's what those people are missing: Disney World without kids is a completely different experience — and it might be one of the most underrated adult vacations out there.
I go regularly, and I go without kids just as often as with them. Here's why adults-only Disney is something you should seriously consider booking.
Disney has also introduced an elevated EPCOT lounge experience exclusively for guests 21 and up — cocktails, culinary creations, scenic views. That's not a kids' activity. That's a date night.
Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, newly engaged, or just finally taking a trip that's just for you two — Disney delivers in a way most people don't expect.

If you love the idea of sleeping under the stars but aren’t thrilled about roughing it in a sleeping bag, there’s a perfect middle ground: glamping.
Short for glamorous camping, glamping blends the beauty of the outdoors with the comfort and style of a luxury retreat. One of the best ways to experience it is with Under Canvas, a collection of luxury safari-style camps located near some of the most breathtaking national parks in the United States.
These unique camps allow travelers to immerse themselves in nature without sacrificing comfort — making them ideal for milestone trips, romantic getaways, and bucket-list adventures.
What Is Glamping?

1. Cancun Is More Than the Hotel Zone
Pro tip: Take a taxi to Mercado 28 in downtown Cancun for shopping and street food without the tourist markup.
Must-do: Day trip to Chichén Itzá or the lesser- known (but less crowded) ruins of Ek Balam.
3. Cenotes Are Unreal—and You’ll Want to Visit More Than One
Favorites: Cenote Dos Ojos, Gran Cenote, or the Instagram-famous Cenote Suytun.
4. All-Inclusive Doesn’t Mean All You Should Do
Balance the beach with real adventure.
5. The Sun Hits Different Here—Pack (and Reapply) SPF
Hot tip: Avoid spray sunscreens—they’re often banned in eco-parks and cenotes.
6. Airport Transfers Matter More Than You Think
Avoid the timeshare pitches in the arrivals hall—walk straight outside to your pre-arranged ride.
7. Yes, You Still Need Pesos
8. The Best Tacos Aren’t Found in Your Resort
Try: El Socio Naiz, Taqueria Los Chachalacos, or a local food tour in downtown Cancun.
9. Nightlife Isn’t Just Spring Break Chaos
Ask locals or your concierge for what’s trending that week—it changes fast.
10. Respect the Culture Beyond the Resort Walls
You’ll connect more—and experience more—when you engage respectfully.
Final Thoughts
Cancun is a fantastic first taste of Mexico—but don’t stop there. The real magic lies just beyond the resort gates. Eat like a local, swim in sacred cenotes, explore ancient ruins, and let yourself fall in love with the richness of Riviera Maya.
