For the very first time, we're expanding the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival experience to some of the Walt Disney World Resort

Keep checking the Disney Parks Blog for updates about when you can begin making reservations for these festival experiences and more.

And with 39 new or re-imagined marketplace dishes and 47 new cocktails, beers, wines and ciders on the menu for this year's festival, there will be a lot to choose from. Here are a few of our favorite new dishes from some of the more than 30 Festival Marketplaces that Epcot guests can experience this fall: elegant seared scallop with truffled celery root puree, Brussels sprouts and mushrooms at Wine & Dine Studio; the mojo pork with black beans and rice at Islands of the Caribbean (and the divine quesitos are there too!); loaded Greek "nachos" at the Greece Marketplace, and our favorite: peanut butter and white chocolate mousse from The Chew Collective.
