One Big Reason You Need to CHANGE Your EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Strategy

It may be time to change your EPCOT game plan.

EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival

The 2024 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival kicks off on August 29th, and longtime festival-goers are already pouring over the list of booths and entertainment this year to plan their festival experience. However, it might be wise to keep in mind that the festival is going to look a wee bit different than in years past.

The heart of the Food and Wine Festival will always be the food booths spread throughout the park. At these booths, you will find food and drinks from around the World. Each booth offers unique bites and oftentimes desserts along with beer, wine, or a cocktail!

In previous years, most of these booths have been centered around the World Showcase. In fact, this has led many to skip the front of the park entirely and spend their festival day entirely in World Showcase. However, things are bit different in 2024.

This year, there are several new and revamped returning locations spread out through World Celebration, World Discovery, and World Nature (AKA the three neighborhoods that make up the former Future World). These include two booths in the new Communicore Hall (Macatizers and the Festival Favorites Menu), Coastal Eats near Mission Space, The Fry Basket and Flavors From Fire near Refreshment Station, and Brew-Wings Lab at the Odyssey.

In addition, Sunshine Seasons and Connections Eatery will also feature some festival-exclusive offerings.

If your usual plan for the Food and Wine Festival is to head straight to World Showcase, you’re going to miss a TON! So, we suggest switching up that game plan.

We have all of the booths and menus on our sites. So you can plan ahead and figure out which booths you want to hit.

Check out a FULL LIST of the booths HERE!

We will also be reporting LIVE from the festival. So you will be able to follow along here and on our socials. On top of all of that, we will released our annual BEST of the FEST so you know exactly what is worth your time in money. All of this should help you plan out what booths you need to hit and will help you make sure you don’t miss something special that isn’t in World Showcase.
