EPCOT Food & Wine Kiosks Go Up as Park Begins Festival Build-Out

Early installation of Global Marketplace booths signals Disney is progressing on site work with menus, signage and theming due in the weeks before the August 27 opening.

Overview

Reports Wednesday and Thursday show crews have started delivering and installing temporary Global Marketplace kiosks across EPCOT, including World Showcase.
The visible booth assembly marks the customary first physical milestone in the festival build-out and signals on-site preparations are now underway.
Disney previously confirmed the festival will run August 27 through November 21 and has announced returning offerings such as Emile’s Fromage Montage and Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak.
The company has already released the full Eat to the Beat concert lineup while specific booth menus, merchandise and decorative theming remain pending and will be revealed progressively this summer.
The festival traditionally progresses from kiosk installation to added signage, menu boards and themed displays, so guests visiting EPCOT in coming weeks can expect the park to take on its seasonal look before opening day.
