Here's Exactly What to Do With Kids at the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival

Every night, Epcot's Future World comes alive with the Disney du Jour Dance Party. This is a great time for kids to run around and get some energy out while parents step back and relax for a few minutes. On Friday and Saturday nights, Radio Disney stars will make appearances and perform for guests.

Every day inside The Land pavilion at Epcot, families can enjoy the air conditioning and make some of their very own candy sushi! This is a great activity for kids to get creative with their food and learn how to make a sushi look-a-like — all out of candy. The event is $10 for each person participating and kids get to take their newly made snack with them.

Remember Remy from Ratatouille has a brother named Emile? Well, he's taking kids on a super yummy cheese tour all around Epcot! To do the tour, all your family needs to do is grab a free Festival Passport and try out five of the cheeses from the designated list. When you purchase a cheese, you get your passport stamped. After you get five stamps, your family can take the passport to the Shimmering Sips Global Marketplace to get a complimentary cheesecake!

The nice thing about this tour is that it can be done at your own pace, in one day or over multiple days at Epcot. No need to overwhelm your kids with dairy!

Each night of the festival there is a concert from bands and musicians from through the decades. While parents will love reliving the past (check out 98 Degrees on Oct 7 through 9!), kids can dance to the music, or just have a few minutes to sit and chill out over what's sure to be a long but very fun day at Epcot. The bands change every few days so be sure to check out who's going to be at the concert before you go.
