Candlelight Processional

If the Candlelight Processional is on your must-do list, we recommend booking a dinner package for a guaranteed seat, even at popular showings. While the price of most dinner packages went up, two popular restaurants actually decreased in price!

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?”

Why We’re Booking a 7 PM Dinner Reservation in EPCOT

By Leave a Comment

There are plenty of reasons to buy a ticket to EPCOT After Hours. Shorter waits for rides? Yes. Fewer people standing between us and another spin on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind? Absolutely. Included Mickey Bars? We have never been known to turn down ice cream. But if you’re planning to attend EPCOT After Hours, there’s one reservation we’re making before we start strategizing our ride order.

France Pavilion

Dinner. At 7 PM. That might seem like a strange way to begin an event that’s largely about squeezing as much as possible into a few very expensive hours. But hear us out, because eating dinner right when you enter EPCOT might actually help you get MORE out of your After Hours ticket.

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

By Leave a 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!

Disney FINALLY Added an Upgrade to This EPCOT Lounge

By Leave a Comment

When we’re at EPCOT, we love hitting GEO-82, the iconic bar inside Spaceship Earth! It has great drinks, tasty snacks, and an intimate, adults-only atmosphere.

Clarified Bee’s Knees at GEO-82

But just when we thought the lounge couldn’t get better, something big at GEO-82 just got a massive upgrade!
