So, are there any particular Walt Disney World events you are interested for the coming year? Leave a comment and I will happily expand!
Good to know about these events in advance. I haven’t been to Disney since my kids were young. However, some of these events sound appealing and more targeted to adults. The food festival sounds interesting. Will have to check it out.
There is so much more to the Disney parks now than Dumbo the Flying Elephant. The Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is my must-do every year!
Do you know when the Halloween celebration will start in 2020? Thank you
