For the foodies heading to the festival, Disney is bringing back the popular Emile’s Fromage Montage. Guests can grab a Festival Passport and purchase any five cheese dishes listed in the back of the Festival Passport to collect a stamp. Once five stamps are collected, guests can head to the Shimmering Sips Global Marketplace to redeem a sweet treat.

Disney says it’s also bringing back the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, featuring well-known musical acts and local bands. The free concerts happen at the America Gardens Theatre. More details, including the concert lineup, will be announced at a later date.
