Disney4me Posted August 27 Report Posted August 27 It’s finally time, festival day is HERE! Welcome to the Food & Wine Festival! That’s right, folks, we’re live from the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, the biggest festival of the year in Disney World. For people who cover Disney food, this is like our Olympics, and we’re here to bring you all the reviews of eats and drinks, as well as cover the rest of the fun that Food & Wine has to offer. Let’s head on in! Festival Passport Before you start your day at the festival, you’ve got to grab a festival passport! We snagged ours from the stands near the front entrance, but you can also grab them at many of the food booths around the park. Inside, you’ll find all the booth menus, the entertainment schedule, information for Emile’s Fromage Montage, and more. Passport time! This year’s passport also has a showcase of the 30th Anniversary legacy menu items at the festival, noting which decades they come from. These are marked on the menus, so you can make it a challenge to try all 30 items if you’d like! Inside To see the full passport, check out the link below. Click Here to See the Passport! Crowds When we arrived at the park, the crowds were already in full swing! At the entrance, folks were eagerly anticipating rope drop. Crowds lined up at the entrance Surprisingly, the crowds inside Creations Shop for the merchandise were not bad at all! We had plenty of space to move around inside the store and check out the new collections. Hardly any people in here! We’ll let you know more about the crowds throughout the day, especially as food booths begin to open. Merchandise Now it’s time to do some shopping! You can find the festival merchandise at Creations Shop, but it’s also scattered throughout several other locations around the park. 2026 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Merchandise This year’s collection has everything from kitchen essentials to Minnie ears to Spirit Jerseys to Loungefly bags. Being the festival that it is, there are lots of chef motifs throughout the collection. 2026 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Minnie Mouse Ears To see the full list of merchandise (being updated throughout the day!) check out the link below.
