What new homeowner isn’t a huge fan of HGTV? When my husband and I purchased our home, I was obsessed with watching the channel’s tips on how to decorate, so you can imagine how excited I am that HGTV personalities are now giving home entertaining seminars each weekend throughout the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. This weekend’s speaker is Erin Loechner, a featured blogger for Design Happens on HGTV.com, who writes about remodeling her home in the Midwest.


Erin is sharing simple homemade gift tips with guests in seminars today, Saturday and Sunday. After her first session this morning, Erin made this video to also share some ideas with Disney Parks Blog readers.


HGTV seminars are included in the price of Epcot admission. Here’s the list, which is always subject to change:

  • Oct. 21-23 – Taniya Nayak, “Designed to Sell” and “House Hunters on Vacation”

  • Oct. 28-30 – Kim Stoegbauer, “On-line Party Inspiration”

  • Nov. 4-6 – Lisa LaPorta, “Designed to Sell”

  • Nov. 11-13 – Emily Henderson, “Secrets From a Stylist” and “HGTV Design Star” winner Season 5 “Design Star”
