Epcot Food and Wine Festival “to try” list

As you read this I am (hopefully) having a wonderful time in Disney World, eating and drinking pretty much as often as possible.  I am super excited to be at Disney during the Food and Wine Festival – it’s my second time during the festival and Jason’s first!  When Disney first published their menus for 2017 I went through and made a list of everything I wanted to try.

It’s a long list.  I probably need about 10 stomachs this week to try and eat it all.  I doubt I’ll get to everything, and I’m sure some things that didn’t jump out at me while looking through the menus will be more appealing in person.  So who knows how many of these items I have consumed yet, or will consume.  Once I return I’ll do a follow-up blog post to see what I got to!  But at least as of right now, here are the items at the top of my list to try for the 2017 Epcot Food and Wine Festival.  All of the photos are from the Disney food blog, they are the best resource for everything Food and Wine!

Well my friends, after looking at this list I have created I see that there are 25 items on it.  Can I do it? Can I try them all?  I’ll be in Disney for 7 days (though we have a couple of other dining reservations, including Flying Fish, Tiffins, Trattoria al Forno breakfast and Ohana breakfast).  And they are small-ish portions that I will also be sharing with Jason.  Stay tuned to see just how many I am able to try!
