The EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is just around the corner ,and we are getting so excited to try all of this year’s yummy treats as well as getting to experience all the other fun this festival has to offer!

EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival will take place from August 29th to November 23rd. In previous years, this festival started in July, but it seems that Disney is trying to get the festivals back on their normal schedule that they followed pre-pandemic. If you are planning on visiting the festival this year, we did some research for you and found the cheapest dates to visit the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival!

We love all EPCOT festivals, but we can’t lie, this one is one of our favorites. From the food to the entertainment and even a cheese crawl, we want you to experience all that this festival has to offer without having to break the bank!

The following dates are based on a single-day ticket to EPCOT. As expected, dates near the weekend and toward the end of the festival are more expensive. During the festival’s run, the cheapest ticket to EPCOT is $119, whereas the most expensive ticket is $174.

August and September are the only two months with tickets costing $119, which is again the cheapest ticket offered during these months.

Our 2024 Guide to EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival

Make sure to pick up your festival passport on your way into the park! During the festival, you can try an array of different foods and wines at the outdoor kitchens around the park. 

You can even partake in a CHEESE CRAWL! That’s right, inside your festival passport, you will find a page for Emile’s Fromage Montage. Collect your stamps at each of the participating booths to redeem them for a prize! Last year’s prize was a yummy strawberry cheesecake dessert!

If cheese is not your thing, you can participate in a different kind of scavenger hunt! Remy’s Hide and Squeak Scavenger Hunt maps can be purchased at various gift shops throughout the park. Simply look for Remy around EPCOT, place the coordinating sticker on your map, and then redeem your map for a prize! This scavenger hunt is a great way to explore the festival and is perfect for kids and kids at heart!

It would not be an EPCOT Festival without entertainment! At the America Garden’s Theatre, the Eat to the Beat Concert Series takes place! While the full concert list has yet to be released, we know that Sheila E. will be playing at EPCOT on September 20th and 21st!

CommuniCore Hall will also be open during the festival and used as the festival headquarters. While it has not been announced yet, we hope this space will be used for the popular Food and Wine seminars and demonstrations!

And, of course, this festival will have its own merch line-up, and Disney gave us a sneak peek!

This festival is a must-do, and we highly recommend exploring it during your trip between August 29th and November 23rd!
