Walt Disney World has unveiled details for the upcoming 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, which will run from August 27 to November 21. The event highlights a new interactive exhibit called Cheers to Cheese at CommuniCore Hall, opening on September 18 and closing on November 8. This experience focuses on cheese history and fun facts rather than food tasting. Returning Global Marketplaces include Gyozas of the Galaxy and The Alps, with full menus expected soon. PhotoPass Magic Shots feature new characters like Waiter Mickey Mouse alongside classic empanada and Swedish Chef themes. Merchandise displays colorful designs including apparel, kitchenware, and novelty items like pastry-topped mugs. The Eat to the Beat concert series returns to America Gardens Theatre with live music and dining packages available. While CommuniCore Hall remains underutilized compared to past festival spaces, organizers hope this year brings improvements over last year’s disappointing iteration.
