Overview

  • The 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival will run from August 27 through November 21, 2026, with Disney confirming dates and headline programming in early August.
  • CommuniCore Hall will host a new interactive exhibit called “Cheers to Cheese!” but the exhibit opens later than the festival on September 18 and runs through November 8 because the space is occupied by Cool KIDS’ SUMMER until September 8.
  • Disney released an official first look at festival merchandise featuring a kitchen‑inspired palette and novelty items such as chef‑hat ears, a churro‑fold tote, drinkware and themed apparel.
  • Disney PhotoPass announced new and returning Magic Shots, including a dynamic Waiter Mickey that changes by World Showcase pavilion, and Disney confirmed returning activities like Emile’s Fromage Montage, Remy’s Hide & Squeak and the Eat to the Beat concert series.
  • Walt Disney World said some Global Marketplaces will open in phases and that the full Foodie Guide with complete menus and marketplace opening dates will be published closer to the festival’s opening day.
