The 2026 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival has opened with the return of the Festival Favorites booth, featuring thirty legacy menu items from past years. The food offerings include potato pierogi with kielbasa, pork belly lettuce wraps, and a pumpkin cheesecake trifle that received mixed reviews for texture and flavor balance. While the frozen s’mores drink was praised as kid-friendly, the new frozen apple blossom cocktail drew attention for its strong appeal despite melting quickly. Overall impressions of the food were lukewarm compared to other festival booths, though the beverage selections stood out as crowd-pleasers. The booth continues to serve three different beers available in a flight option for visitors. Despite some disappointments with certain dishes, reviewers noted they would return specifically for the frozen drink offerings.
