EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

Fall & Halloween

EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

EPCOT, Walt Disney World Late Jul - Nov

The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is one of Walt Disney World's most popular annual events, running from late July through November. Unlike many Disney events, this one is included with regular park admission -- no separate ticket required.

The festival features over 30 Global Marketplace booths around the World Showcase lagoon, each offering small plates and beverages inspired by cuisines from around the world. Think: braised beef from Canada, freshly made sushi from Japan, and truffle mac and cheese from the USA pavilion.

Beyond the food, the festival includes the Eat to the Beat concert series (included with admission), cooking demonstrations, food-themed merchandise, and special dining experiences that require separate reservations.

Insider Tips

Plan Like a Pro

Visit on weekdays in September for the smallest crowds -- the festival is busiest in October and November

Set a food budget before you go -- small plates add up quickly at $5-$12 each

Grab a festival passport at the entrance and plan your route around the lagoon

The best dishes sell out by evening -- hit your must-try booths before 5:00 PM

Tables near the booths fill fast -- consider eating standing or finding seating near the water

Combine this with a Halloween party ticket at Magic Kingdom for the ultimate fall day
