2026 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival

The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival is one of the most popular and longest festivals at Walt Disney World. Its focus is on celebrating culinary arts across six continents. Most of the eleven countries in the World Showcase offer a festival booth where guests can purchase small plates to sample some of their most popular cuisines. In addition to those countries, you’ll find global marketplaces throughout the park, including countries like Brazil and Australia. Below, we’ll preview everything you need to know to plan a visit.

Cheers to Cheese at CommuniCore Hall

This year’s festival will offer an all-new interactive exhibit at CommuniCore Hall. Starting September 18th, guests will be able to celebrate one of the world’s most beloved foods: cheese! The exhibit promises to offer fun facts about the fascinating history of cheese.

Please note that GoofyCore will remain open at CommuniCore Hall through September 8th, which is the end of Cool Kids Summer. The location will then close as Disney prepares the space for the Cheers to Cheese exhibit.

Scavenger Hunts

Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival offers two unique scavenger hunts. They are as follows:

Remy’s Ratatouille Hide and Squeak

Scurry Around EPCOT and search for Remy statuettes on a Ratatouille-inspired scavenger hunt—and receive a festival keepsake!

Here’s how it works:

  1. Purchase your scavenger hunt map and stickers—available while supplies last at Disney Traders, Creations Shop, festival markets, and other select shops for $11.99 plus tax.
  2. Search for statuettes of Remy around World Showcase and the Global Marketplaces, then add a sticker to your map after each discovery.
  3. At the end of your journey (even if you don’t complete the scavenger hunt), you can bring your map to Disney Traders, Creations Shop, or World Traveler and receive a special prize!

Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit

This scavenger hunt is available for a limited time during the Festival (September 25th through November 2nd). It allows guests to embark on a journey to find hidden decorative pumpkins inspired by favorite characters. Receive a spooky festival keepsake with purchase.

Here’s how it works: 

  1. First, purchase your game board and stickers—available for $11.99 plus tax while supplies last at select merchandise locations, including Creations Shop, Disney Traders, festival merchandise kiosks, Gateway Gifts, and World Traveler at International Gateway.
  2. Have fun hunting for Disney-themed pumpkins hidden around the festival, then add the corresponding sticker to your game board after each discovery.
  3. At the end of your hunt (even if you don’t find all the pumpkins), you can bring your game board to Creations Shop, Disney Traders, Gateway Gifts, or World Traveler and receive a spooky festival keepsake!

Pro Tip: We always pick out our prize at the time of purchase. That way, we don’t forget to return and pick it up later! The scavenger hunts are a wonderful way for children to feel like they’re participating while touring the World Showcase.

Emile’s Fromage Montage

Be sure to grab a Festival Passport when you enter Epcot. It serves as the guide to Emile’s Fromage Montage. Inside, you’ll find a few pages that feature the qualifying cheese-based items for the foodie challenge. Buy any of the eligible items, collect a stamp for each one, and then take it to Shimmering Sips Marketplace to redeem it for an exclusive treat!

Living with the Land Festival Overlay

Located on the lower level of the Land Pavilion, this classic attraction features seasonal displays highlighting ingredients used during the Food and Wine Festival. Each festival offers a unique overlay, and it’s always a fun treat to see how they change from one festival to another.

Festival Merchandise

Each year, the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival debuts a new line of exclusive merchandise. These items range from themed apparel and kitchenware to drinkware and collectible pins. Items often reflect fun, food-inspired designs. It’s common for several collections to be released each year that feature popular Disney characters reimagined for the event. Whether you’re a casual shopper commemorating your visit or a dedicated collector, the festival merchandise offers something you won’t find any other time of the year. You can preview an example in the article below.
