Our ULTIMATE Guide to the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays

This is our most comprehensive festival guide EVER! We're covering all the holiday kitchens, the amazing shows, the storytellers from around the World Showcase, the holiday ride overlays, the cookie stroll, the scavenger hunt - and we're packing it all into a 30 minute video. If you're planning to spend the Christmas season at Walt Disney World, you definitely want to make the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays part of your planning. We'll share our favorite moments, including Norway's infamous Barn Santa, La Befana in Italy and the Candlelight Processional hosted by Whoopi Goldberg!

I've watched numerous Epcot holiday videos this season and yours is the best by far. Your informative yet lighthearted approach is perfection and all your planning and hard work shine through. Keep it up Ear Scouts! 😀💜🤩

[@LAURENMARIE429]

Your videos are so refreshing! And thank you for the quick reviews on the food it’s so nice to not see a vlogger talk and eat and gives in-depth descriptions on food when it’s not necessary bravo to you

[@EarScouts]

Thanks so much. It's always a challenge to figure out how to best cover all the food because there is so much of it! 😅

[@jenniferhirjak2860]

Well Ear Scouts, you’ve done it again! I love everything about this video and it’s a great example of why you guys are my new favorite “go-to” when it comes to Disney info and research. This is the first I’ve seen about the GOTG pin you receive for completing the cookie stroll and you gave some great tips for the Candlelight Processional that I’ve never heard before. I feel even more prepared for our Epcot day on the 27th. Thanks so much for all you do and the time and effort you put in to your content. Wishing you both a very Happy Holiday!

[@EarScouts]

Thanks so much, Jennifer! Now you’ve got me wondering if we only got the pins because we were there before the special aired on Disney Plus 🤔 - hope they are still there and thanks for your kind words about our channel. 😃

I agree about the guardians wanting a little more to the overlay but the ride was awesome.

[@EarScouts]

Yup. Maybe they’ll add a little extra merriment next year. 🤞

[@lilyho6285]

Love your video! My mom and I are attending this festival at Epcot for the first time on the opening day and now we are even more excited!!!

[@EarScouts]

I think it’s my favorite festival now. The food was really great last year and the park looks so magical, but it’s the storytellers that put it over the top. Hope you have an amazing time! 😀

[@bevguo2175]

What a great video. Loved the food reviews and one-liners with the thumbs up or down. SO much info and can't wait for our trip and checking out the Festival of the Holidays!

[@EarScouts]

Hi Bev - you’re in for a treat. This was our favorite festival of the holidays ever. It might be our new favorite Epcot festival. Thanks for watching! 😃

I loved that bread at tangerine kitchen I never heard anyone say how good it was but holy cow it was good.

[@EarScouts]

So. Stinking. Good. And the kebabs were great this year, too. Thanks for watching! 😃

[@sarahclift5732]

Rob I love your ears for this video…any idea where you purchased them?

[@AlexR3510]

Thank you for your greats videos! Polished and to the point, thank you! Question: can you play Genie Slots with individual LL’s? Staying off site and worried about not getting Guardians LL for before we park hop at 2. Thanks!

[@EarScouts]

Hi Alex! What a great question. I’ve never tried. When are you here? I can try to find out.

[@AlexR3510]

@@EarScouts a random Tuesday in middle of January. Planned it for the least peak time possible :) just worried the LL times will be after 2pm once we can buy at 9am. Thanks so much!

[@terristravels87]

I had no idea Whoopi acknowledged Christ.

[@ceekay2390]

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannuchristmakwanzaadan, Happy Hols - whatever you celebrate - to all. And most especially to Rob and Erick; thanks for all you do here!

[@EarScouts]

Thanks so much, Cee Kay. We’re Christmas junkies. 😂 Hope you and your family have a joyous holiday season and a happy new year. 🥳
