Behind the Scenes: Adding ‘Fantasia’ Magic to the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival

From Jennifer Fickley-Baker, Social Media Manager, a little behind the scenes video in getting Epcot ready for the 2014 International Food & Wine Festival.

The Epcot International Food & Wine Festival features the creative talents of many different departments here atWalt Disney World Resort, including our excellent Food & Beverage team. But did you know that Walt Disney Imagineering and Horticulture also play an important part in getting the park ready for the festival?

Check out this video, in which our Walt Disney Imagineers and Horticulture cast members work together to transform the park’s Entrance Planters with “Fantasia”-inspired graphics and topiaries – in just eight hours.

Drawing inspiration from the film, the graphics and horticulture designs illustrate Chef Mickey orchestrating “magical forks” to spread flavor throughout the festival. This theme is carried out throughout the park’s other graphics and horticulture displays.
