EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

Bring your appetite and eat your way around the world (showcase) during EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival, which runs from August 28 to November 22, 2025.  There will be more than 35 global marketplaces to check out, popular artists and local bands performing at the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, and fun activities like Remy’s Hide and Squeak Scavenger Hunt.

The Opening of The Beak and Barrel

A brand new Pirates of the Caribbean lounge is coming to Magic Kingdom later this year!  The lounge welcomes guests of all ages and is set to open in late 2025 though no specific date has been released yet.  Come for the drinks and bites as well as the storytelling and sing-alongs! Disney Parks Blog has already teased that The Beak and Barrel will have some fun surprises for guests to discover.

Completion of Bay Lake Tower Refurbishment

Bay Lake Tower fans will be happy to know that the refurbishment is expected to be complete as of this September!  The refreshed rooms have undergone a full renovation and now feature new furniture, appliances, textiles, and decor.  If the work is on track, any unfinished rooms will be out of inventory by August, meaning that guests are nearly guaranteed a refurbished room.  

Fall is a great time to rent DVC points, especially with September being the cheapest DVC travel period!  Browse the confirmed reservations, or check DVC villa availability and pricing with DVC Rental Store to save big on your fall getaway.
