The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is celebrating its 30th anniversary now through November 21st! The festival includes over 200 unique menu items at nearly 30 Global Marketplaces plus the Eat to the Beat concert series featuring artists like Fitz and the Tantrums, Boyz II Men, The Beach Boys.
With so many choices, it can be hard to narrow down a list of menu items from Food & Wine without completely blowing your vacation budget. Luckily, we found a Food & Wine treat that doubles as both a brunch option or a dessert. It’s also a returning favorite for the 30th Anniversary of Food & Wine! You’ll find it at the Belgium marketplace booth in-between Morocco and France. Belgium serves as an almost halfway point around World Showcase.
Belgian Waffle – with cookie butter and whipped cream topped with Specula’s Cookie pieces – $5.49
If you like cookie butter or the taste of a Biscoff Cookie, you’re going to love this sweet waffle! You can easily gobble this one down by yourself or share it to maximize stomach space. Personally, I would opt not to share! The waffle itself tastes just like cookie butter and has the perfect crispy edges and chewy inside. The whipped cream is guaranteed to immediately melt on a hot day and an unnecessary distraction to the delicious cookie crumbles and caramel sauce on the plate. You’ll definitely want to scoop up as much of the sauce as humanly possible! While the Belgian Waffle is packed with salty, caramel, sweetness; it’s not overly heavy or rich for a toasty EPCOT day.
This cookie butter-inspired Belgian waffle is a great choice for an 11 a.m. sweet when the global marketplaces first open. Especially if you’re already next door in France getting an early ride on Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.
There’s still time to book your Food & Wine Festival Disney vacation with discounted packages available and seasonal offerings like Halloween and the holidays! This really is the most magical time of year to visit Walt Disney World, with seasonal extras at the parks, resorts, and Disney Springs.
