As promised in our previous blog, it’s time to unveil the Epcot’s International Festival of the Holidays Kitchens menu!  Epcot has always been one of our favorites for cuisine, but with Disney Magic and Holiday Magic as the festival's two main ingredients- these menus really take the cake. The festival starts the day after Thanksgiving and ends on December 30th , so be sure to have “Go to Epcot” on your holiday to-do list. And remember pixie dust makes the calories disappear, so be a kid with your kids and indulge in all of these Holiday Kitchens festivities!
