Yes, the highlight of the annual Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is all the food and beverage samples available to purchase. But I’d have to say the fest’s Eat to the Beat nightly concerts are also a big draw.
This week, Walt Disney World released the line-up for the 2013 Eat to the Beat concerts, and there are some new names, as well as favorites from past years.
