No, that’s not a typo in my title — this is my preview of the Tables in Wonderland preview of “Taste Your Way around the World,” the17th Annual Epcot International Food and Wine Festival.

Tonight’s event is a buffet reception followed by a plated dinner, and it’s been inspired by offerings that will be featured at this year’s festival. Included will be dishes from several of the new marketplaces that will debut around World Showcase, such as vegetarian chili from the new “Terra” location and Florida Shrimp Ceviche. I’m also hopeful that they’ll reveal more details about the signature dining experiences and other highlights of this year’s festival.

I spoke to Food and Wine Festival Program Manager Marianne Hunnel the other day and plan to share her news, along with what I learn at tonight’s dinner, with you all in the next few days. Until then, I’ll leave you with a few images of the new food items that Disney has released so far.
