Epcot's World Showcase is known as Walt Disney World's premier destination for guests looking for unique culinary experiences (and, yes, plenty of booze). While it boasts a huge variety of fine dining, fast casual and quick service restaurants at each of its 11 pavilions year-round, Disney recently added a slew of new menu items at pop-up kiosks across the park as part of its annual International Festival of the Arts. In the spirit of the event—which takes place through Feb. 21, right in the midst of the 18-month-long Walt Disney World Resort 50th Anniversary Celebration—each specialty dish is not only meant to be delicious, but visually stunning. Here are some can't-miss foods should you find yourself eating around the world in the coming weeks.
