Overview
- The 30th annual EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival opened Thursday, August 27, 2026, and runs through November 21 with free physical Festival Passports handed out at park entrances and booths to guide menus, entertainment, and stampable activities.
- Walt Disney World released an Annual Passholder‑exclusive collection available at Creations Shop and select festival kiosks while supplies last, and Cast Members enforced purchase rules requiring the linked Annual Pass ID in the My Disney Experience app and a government photo ID at checkout.
- The Passholder lineup includes character pins and drinkware tied to Snow White, Luca and Remy plus passholder‑marked apparel and accessories, with trading pins listed at $21.99 and other observed retail prices for apparel and kitchenware across the festival shops.
- Disney PhotoPass rolled out new Magic Shots and themed photo props across World Showcase and World Celebration, with examples such as Waiter Mickey, Chef Figment and a Giant Empanada available at specified pavilions for guests to purchase or capture through PhotoPass.
- Several Global Marketplaces and CommuniCore/The Wedge remain on a phased opening schedule into September and October, which restricts some Emile’s Fromage Montage cheese‑crawl stamp options that guests must collect to redeem a prize at Shimmering Sips.
