The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is upon us and you know what that means — time to EAT!

We’ve already seen the booths popping up around the World Showcase, poured over the menus to find out what we can’t wait to try, and have already figured out which concerts we can’t miss. But, this year, things will be different and we want you to be prepared. That’s why we’re sharing the biggest changes announced for this year’s EPCOT Food & Wine Festival.

We can’t wait to check out all the 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has to offer, but we’re especially stoked for everything new coming to the fest! We’re in store for four major changes, and if you’re heading to the festival anytime between July 27th and November 18th, 2023, you might want to know about these changes!

Muppets Lab

Disney shared a fun little preview of a NEW experience coming to the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival. Per Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker, guests can look out for the smartest pair of Muppets we know over by the Brew-Wing Lab at the Odyssey. There, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker will join the festival as the taste-testers in residence, where they will be taste-testing the flavors of tomorrow and today! That’s right — Muppet Labs are coming to EPCOT!

At The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival presented by CORKCICLE, the future of food is being made today with Muppet Labs! Join Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker as they experiment with tasty flavors at the Brew-Wing Lab. 🧪 🍽️ pic.twitter.com/dmUbfFTT9j

Get ready to experiment with tasty flavors at the Brew-Wing Lab at the Odyssey! Disney is calling the new Muppet Labs an experience with “flavorful adventure, featuring the culinary creations — and madcap mishaps — of Muppet Labs!” Look out for some interesting new snacks, like the Unnecessarily Spicy, Yet Extremely Tasty Scotch Bonnet Pepper-Curry Wings and the Pickle Milkshake. We’re intrigued — and you know we’ll be checking it out on the first day of the fest!
