Festival Picks: EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival EP.127

The 2026 EPCOT international Food & Wine Festival is underway, and we definitely have some favorite foods to try. From returning classics to brand-new bites, this year's festival is stacked with some tasty menu items! Join CJ and Danny for a circle-tour around World Showcase as they discuss highlights (and some low lights) from this year’s foodie fest.  We join CJ in the middle segment for a special new “CJ in the Parks,” where he takes us on an early-morning character walk through World Showcase. While that section of EPCOT may be slow to fully open, there are plenty of reasons to enjoy an early morning stroll around the world. Did CJ and Danny unlock the secret for the least-expensive character breakfast in WDW? Drop a listen to find out.  The show kicks off with another mail call that tackles one of our more viral questions: “Who is BILL?!” Andrew from Vegas sends the email that sparks the conversation. Our resident Canadian, Danny, leaves mail call well-informed on the American tall-tale hero!! It’s definitely a mail call you won’t want to miss if you’re all for Parks Pod lore!
