EPCOT Installs 30th‑Anniversary Entrance Decor for Food & Wine Festival

A suitcase‑themed centerpiece ties oversized badges to the Foodie Guide’s 30 legacy dishes and signals phased marketplace openings this season

Overview

  • Park crews have installed large festival signage and a suitcase‑themed centerpiece at EPCOT’s main entrance to mark the festival’s 30th anniversary.
  • The centerpiece is a pink trunk that opens to reveal a tiered cake topped with a “30” and a luggage tag reading the festival’s boarding date.
  • Oversized suitcases around the display are covered with sticker‑style badges that name specific festival dishes, their country and the year they debuted to create a visual timeline.
  • Disney has published full menus and announced phased openings for several Global Marketplaces and the CommuniCore cheese exhibit, so not every booth will be available on the first day.
  • The entrance buildout echoes the festival’s broader retrospective theme, which highlights 30 returning or reimagined legacy dishes and includes programming such as Remy’s scavenger hunt and Emile’s Fromage Montage.
