Like the Food and Wine Festival, I like to look at the booths, locations, and menus to plan for what I want to try. The menus feature small plates of foods. It looks like more desserts are featured at this EPCOT festival; there's even a cookie crawl. I am really excited to experience Festival of the Holidays and sample the food!
