Walt Disney World is a foodie paradise and this Autumn sees the opening of PizzaRizzo, the Muppets themed restaurant in Hollywood Studios! Not only that, but Disney Springs is jam packed full of new eateries and retailers. From the new Frontera Cocina and Homecoming restaurants to Lacoste, Free People and Sugarboo & Co. Levi’s Store, you’ll be spoilt for choice at Disney Springs.

3. EPCOT INTERNATIONAL FOOD AND WINE FESTIVAL

If you are in Orlando between September and November, Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival is not to be missed! This mouthwatering event will celebrate global cuisine with culinary events and seminars with celebrity chefs, musical acts, marketplaces and more. This is included with your Disney park passes and is a food lover’s dream!

4. THE GREAT IRISH HOOLEY 2016

If you are in Orlando for the first weekend of September, then make sure you don’t miss the Great Irish Hooley at Walt Disney World! Raglan Road is a crowd favourite in Disney Springs and this weekend is no different. Spend the weekend singing, dancing, eating and enjoying the amazing shows from the Raglan Road Dancers. Be sure to book your table before you go as it fills up fast!

5. MICKEY’S NOT-SO-SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTY

Wear you best Halloween costume and go to everyone’s favourite family Halloween event of the year!

7. MICKEY’S VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS PARTY

Once Halloween is over, it’s time to think about chestnuts on an open fire, mistletoe and all things Christmas! There is so much going on in Walt Disney World around Christmas time you’ll be full of Christmas cheer from Thanksgiving to New Years! One of the most popular events is Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. This Magic Kingdom event runs from November and will have holiday themed fireworks, shows and parades!

Disney Channel’s favourite princess has found a new home in Magic Kingdom. Starting this month, Princess Elena of Avalor, will join the rest of the Disney Princesses to share stories and songs from her Latin inspired culture. Elena will be in Magic Kingdom for a limited time only so this Autumn and Winter is the best time to see her!
