BIG Changes Confirmed for the 2027 EPCOT Festival of the Arts

By Leave a Comment

Disney World is already making plans for 2027, and one of our favorite EPCOT festivals is getting some BIG changes! The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is returning in 2027, bringing back the incredible food, Disney artwork, Broadway performances, and interactive experiences that have made this festival a favorite among Disney fans.

Festival of the Arts!

While we’re still waiting for the full menus and entertainment schedules, Disney has confirmed some interesting changes for next year’s event. One gives us MORE time to enjoy the festival, another puts a popular Disney trading card game in the spotlight, and the third makes us ask questions about our beloved Food Studios. Let’s take a look at what’s changing!

Here’s Exactly How We Cover All 30+ EPCOT Food and Wine Booths in a Single Day

By 5 Comments

Every year, thousands of people walk into the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival with a beautiful, reasonable goal: eat a few things, drink something fun, maybe complete a cheese crawl, and make it back to Spaceship Earth without needing to loosen their waistband. We are not those people.

Food & Wine Opening Day

On opening day, the DFB team arrives at EPCOT with phones charged, portable batteries packed, assignments made, spreadsheets open, food trays ready, and the collective determination to eat, photograph, film, review, and document essentially the ENTIRE festival. And then, while our reporters are sprinting around World Showcase carrying six plates and a rapidly melting dessert, there’s another team at home downloading photos, editing video, writing reviews, updating pages, building social posts, and sending increasingly frantic messages asking, “DID THE CHEESE PHOTO UPLOAD?”

REVIEW: We Have Just One Word To Say About This EPCOT Food & Wine Festival Booth: Perfection

By 1 Comment

We are eating our way around the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, and there is one food booth where Disney apparently looked at last year’s menu and said, “Yep. Keep it.”

Australia

We’re heading to the Australia food booth, located near Disney Traders. Australia has been part of the Food & Wine Festival lineup since 1997, and over the years, a few of its dishes have become genuine festival fixtures. This year, the entire food menu from 2025 is back, including one dish Disney has officially designated a 30th Anniversary Legacy Item. So, are the old favorites still worth precious stomach space when there are dozens of other booths competing for it? Let’s find out.

REVIEW: We Are Begging You Not To Skip This EPCOT Festival Booth

By Leave a Comment

Somewhere in EPCOT, Disney is serving apple cider, sweet potatoes, squash, and an Old Fashioned while Central Florida is still sitting comfortably in the 90s. Why? Because Bramblewood Bites tends to serve food that feels more like an actual meal than a tiny festival snack.

Full spread

We’re back at Bramblewood Bites for the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, and this booth continues to operate as EPCOT’s little pocket of fall. You’ll find it along the walkway between World Showcase and the Imagination! Pavilion. The booth first joined the festival in 2024, and it has quickly become one of the places we watch each year closely. This year, two dishes we really enjoyed last year are back, and we’ve got a brand-new sweet potato creation that sounds suspiciously like Thanksgiving got dressed up for EPCOT. Let’s dig in!

REVIEW: If I Could Marry an EPCOT Food & Wine Festival Snack, You’d Be Calling Me Mrs. Brazilian Cheese Bread

By Leave a Comment

There are a few EPCOT Food & Wine Festival foods that have reached the point where removing them would probably require paperwork, a public hearing, and several strongly worded emails. Brazil’s cheese bread is one of them.

2026 booth

The Brazil food booth is back for the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, tucked between the Morocco and France Pavilions in World Showcase. And while our beloved Pão de Queijo has once again survived another menu change, Brazil isn’t simply rerunning everything from their previous hits. There’s a brand-new shrimp dish. There’s a new beer. And one of last year’s heartier favorites has disappeared entirely. Let’s see what Brazil is working with this year.

REVIEW: This EPCOT Food & Wine Festival Booth Proves Sometimes Keeping It Simple Is the Way To Go

By Leave a Comment

There are certain things we expect from the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. Tiny forks. A concerning number of receipts. And a stop at Belgium for something involving waffles, beer, or smoked Gouda mashed potatoes. Preferably all three.

Belgium booth

The Belgium food booth is back for the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, which runs from August 27th through November 21st. You’ll find the booth in World Showcase between Morocco and France. Belgium is usually one of those booths that doesn’t feel the need to reinvent itself every August. Last year, the entire menu was made up of returning favorites. But Disney has rattled the waffle iron for 2026. There’s a brand-new waffle, a significantly different beer lineup, and one very familiar bowl of beef and mashed potatoes waiting for us. Let’s eat!

We Tried 8 Snacks Coming to the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival in 2026

By Leave a Comment

The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is almost here, and Disney has FINALLY released the menus. The 2026 festival runs from August 27th through November 21st, giving us nearly three months to roam around World Showcase carrying tiny plates, tiny forks, and increasingly complicated opinions about cheese.

EPCOT Food & Wine Festival

And this year is a big one. Food & Wine is celebrating its 30th anniversary, with Disney bringing back or reimagining 30 dishes from festivals past. Naturally, we went straight to the menus to see what was new. But we also noticed something very important. A LOT of things we loved in 2025 are coming back.

Starting Tomorrow, EPCOT Will Be Very Different

By Leave a Comment

EPCOT, like the other Disney World parks, is always changing.

2024 Food and Wine Festival

Year by year, month by month, and sometimes even week by week! However, there’s one big offering that makes EPCOT stand out from a food standpoint than the other parks, and that’s the four festivals the park has throughout the year. The current festival, EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival, is coming to an end tomorrow, and the park will almost immediately be very different.
