A very disappointing change for the Muppets at Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival

Disney announced the Muppets would be coming to a special experience for Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival. However, they have since clarified what exactly we can expect, and it’s quite disappointing.

The 2023 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is right around the corner From July 27 to November 18, guests can take a culinary tour across six continents at this celebration of cuisine from around the world.

From delectable Global Marketplaces and fresh new merch to nightly live entertainment, there’s so much for guests of all ages to enjoy. As more details emerge about the event, a few changes are taking place. For example, the famous BeaverTails are actually NOT returning to Epcot.

And now, we have more disappointing news to share.

Don your lab coats and prepare to experiment with delicious flavors as Brew-Wing Lab at the Odyssey invites guests on a flavorful adventure, featuring the culinary creations – and madcap mishaps – of Muppet Labs!

The first announcement read:

That’s right – Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his faithful assistant, Beaker, of Muppet Labs will welcome you to their taste-testing headquarters, where the inventive duo are busy creating scientific snacks and mind-blowing beverages.

You’ll have a chance to sample some of their kooky concoctions like the Unnecessarily Spicy, Yet Extremely Tasty Scotch Bonnet Pepper-Curry Wings, or the Pickle Milkshake. Consider it a flavor experiment in the name of science!
