Jingle! Jingle! The holidays are almost here at Walt Disney World. The Epcot International Festival of the Holidays, which runs from November 18 through December 30, 2018 is one of the best times to fill your belly while visiting the parks. The festival returns to Epcot once again with festivities including the ever-popular Candlelight Processional (starting Nov. 22) as well as festive decorations and unforgettable entertainment. Take a look below of some great info about the festival from Disney Parks!
There will be 12 Holiday Kitchens as well as additional locations throughout the park to grab small bites. New at this year’s festival is the Feast of the Three Kings as well as a WHOLE NEW HOLIDAY KITCHEN! The new L’Chaim! Holiday Kitchen features traditional Jewish dishes such as Pastrami on Rye, Chicken and Matzo Ball Soup, Egg Cream, and more. Check out more from Disney Parks!
Holiday Cookie Stroll! Purchase any 5 cookies from any of the official cookie stroll locations noted in your Passport, making sure to collect a matching stamp for each cookie purchased. Once you’ve collected 5 stamps, bring the stamped Passport to Holiday Sweets & Treats for a complimentary completer cookie! How fun is that?
