Mark your calendar! Dates for the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival have been released! This is one of the most popular events Walt Disney World Resort offers, so let’s take a look at what you need to know now so you can enjoy all the food and fun later!
What used to just be a 30-day festival in World Showcase has upgraded over the years to a three month celebration all around the entire park. It’s a delicious way to usher in the fall in Orlando!
The 2025 dates run from August 28 to November 22, giving you solo travelers and park goers without kids plenty of time to check it out while school is in session and fewer children are at EPCOT!
You’ll want to get your tickets and make your plans early, so here’s everything we know so far about the 2025 festival.
Festival Marketplaces Across the Park
Over 35 Global Marketplaces will be located all over EPCOT. Each will offer themed food and drink items you can’t get any other time of year. While full menus haven’t been released, we know each Marketplace will include kid-friendly and plant-based options.
Emile’s Fromage Montage Returns
Another fan favorite, Emile’s Fromage Montage, gives cheese lovers a “gouda” way to collect Food & Wine passport stamps and earn a treat specific to the 2025 festival. Some of the menu items you’ll want to spend your “cheddar” on are the Fig & Balsamic Cheesecake, the Brazilian Cheese Breat and the Griddled Cheese with Pistachios and Honey.
Free Concerts With Eat to the Beat
As a lover of live music, this makes the ticket price totally worth paying for me. Not only do I get to enjoy food and drinks from around the world, but I get a FREE concert!
The full lineup with dates is out, with a full range of artists from multiple genres.
Since the concert is included with your admission, the America Gardens Theatre will get full in a hurry. You can circumvent that one of two ways…
The dining package lets you choose from breakfast, lunch or dinner at one of EPCOT’s table-service restaurants. Then you have guaranteed seating at the concert that evening. The reserved seating is first-come, first-served with the others who purchased a dining package, so you’ll still want to get to the theatre a little early.
Prices for the dining package will vary by restaurant and mealtime, and the reservations normally open up in July. You can book your package through the My Disney Experience app. OR if you’re using a Travel Advisor with any level of customer service, they’ll make the reservation for you! (I’m one of those Travel Advisors who helps you strategize your day and makes your dining reservations for you, so email me here and put “Food and Wine” in the subject line when you’re ready to start planning!)
That’s what you need to know (for now) about EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. We only have the appetizer for now, but lots more information will be released soon. Full menus, passport pricing, map and more should start coming out before July. Be sure to check back here and my Facebook page for updates, and pin this blog post so it’s easier for you to find next time!
Whether you’re a foodie, music lover, solo traveler or Disney adult, there is always plenty to see and EAT at Food and Wine! What are you most excited to check out? If you’ve been before, what was your favorite food or drink item? Comment below!
