901: Eating Around EPCOT: Food & Wine Festival Live Review, Part 1

We’re eating our way around the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and sharing our completely unfiltered reactions as each dish hits the table, or more accurately, the nearest Disney trash can. In Part 1 of our two-part live review, we try everything from basil pesto chicken dumplings and Buffalo dill pickle wings to tempura shrimp tacos, Norwegian caramel cream bread, a Dubai-style chocolate pistachio cookie, pumpkin pie funnel cake, and plenty more. Some dishes absolutely wow us, while others leave us wondering how they escaped the kitchen. Our friend and fellow food reporter Jon Self joins the fun as we discuss festival favorites, disappointing bites, value, portion sizes, and whether Italy may finally be turning things around. These reactions were captured live while filming our festival videos, so you’re hearing our honest opinions before we’ve had time to reconsider—or recover from eating quite so much. This episode features edited audio from our original video reviews. To watch the complete videos and see all the dishes and reactions for yourself, visit WonderlandCrew.com.
