And there’s other entertainment too. Allow me to introduce the JAMMin’ Chefs.
While there are many, many things I love about Disney World, EPCOT’s yearly Food and Wine Festival is probably in my top five favorite things to do. Because really, who wouldn’t love to eat (and drink) your way around the “world”?
