Have you ever thought of enjoying a Family Fun Day at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival?  Start with amazing kid-approved food with non-alcoholic beverages, Remy’s Hide and Squeak Game around the World Showcase, Festival Play Area and a Chocolate Display.  Be sure to enjoy a visit to the glowing Light Lab before closing out your family adventure day with a child-friendly Eat To The Beat Concert and the Disney Du Jour Dance Party.

First, we are loving the addition of the Kid-Approved Menu items icon.  Look for the adorable Smiley Strawberry next to items listed on the menu boards.  For example, the Light Lab Flavor Experiments Menu and the Creme Brulee on the France Menu Board as shown above.  Our Little One’s favorite food of the day was the original Classic Poutine.

Hence, the adults in your party may be searching for something a bit more adventurous.  How about some added flavor with the Beef Brisket Poutine, Warm Chocolate Pudding, or Croissant Aux Escargots with La Passion Martini Slush?  Personally, our favorite bites of Family Fun Day were the Grilled Lamb Chop, the Spice-Crusted Verlasso Salmon and the Lump Crab Cake.  Additionally, best sips were the non-alcoholic Frozen Apple Pie and the Tropical Mimosa.

Second,  be sure to take on the challenge of Remy’s Ratoutille Hide and Squeak game around the World Showcase.  To begin, help Remy find all the necessary ingredients to complete his most famous dish.  You will need to stop at each country to determine what sticker to select for that country. Upon completion, take your map to a redemption location to pick up your prize.  I mean, what child doesn’t love the opportunity to pick their own prize?

Third, you may wish to take your young ones over to the Family Play Zone.  You will find this fun and interactive play area behind Mouse Gear. Also, there are a few Adirondack chairs available for seating as your youngsters engage in play and discovery.

Fourth, the Chocolate Display at the Festival Welcome Center in the “From Bean To The Bar” area is sure to be a hit with the entire family.  This year’s hand-crafted chocolate displays feature Toy Story Land, The Headless Horseman and Coco to name a few.

Next, no Epcot International Food & Wine Festival Family Fun Day experience is complete without the Light Lab.  This glowing fluorescent room is a great place to take fun photos.  Also, be sure to observe the lab technicians as they create some amazing beverage concoctions.  The Wall Boards contain interesting facts about our senses, thus making this a cool learning experience as well.

Lastly, be sure to close out your Family Fun Day with the Eat To The Beat Concert Series and the Disney Du Jour Dance Party.  Child-friendly music and Disney Dancing are sure to wrap up your day in a big way.

We, at Chip and Company, are a very family-oriented group.  Being that this was a family outing, we decided to take Flat Chip on his very first adventure.   He enjoyed his first ride on the monorail, the perfectly sized Flat-Chip-Friendly Food & Wine keepsake plate and his favorite Cheddar Cheese and Bacon Soup from the Canada Outdoor Kitchen.  Flat Chip took time to hydrate with the Phosphorescent Phlight from the Light Lab.  He then decided to take a nap on a bench!  A Fan noticed him and woke him up to have her photo taken with him.  Certainly, Flat Chip had a fabulous First Adventure Day.

In conclusion, we highly recommend planning a Family Fun Day at Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival.  From food, beverages and games, to learning opportunities, concerts and dance parties the experience is sure to build lifetime memories.

We wish to send a special thank you to the folks at Disney for inviting us to attend Family Media Day.  The opportunity to experience the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival together, as a family, is greatly appreciated.
