One of the easiest ways to add a little extra Disney magic to your vacation photos is returning to the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. Disney has shared a first look at this year’s lineup of PhotoPass Magic Shots, including one brand-new offering and several fan favorites returning.
Available for a limited time during the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, these digitally enhanced photos let Disney PhotoPass photographers add favorite Disney characters, oversized food items, and other fun surprises to your pictures after they’re taken. It’s a fun way to remember your day of snacking around World Showcase without having to balance a phone in one hand and a festival dish in the other.
The newest addition this year is Waiter Mickey Mouse, who will appear in Magic Shots throughout World Showcase in Mexico, China, Italy, Japan, and France. Mickey arrives dressed for the occasion, ready to serve up festival treats as if he’s your personal waiter during your culinary adventure around EPCOT.
Several returning Magic Shots are also back for another festival season:
- Giant Empanada returns with an oversized version of one of the festival’s favorite handheld snacks.
- Leaning Tower of Cheeza brings back Max Goof balancing an impossible stack of cheese.
- The Swedish Chef Magic Shot returns with the Muppet favorite and his latest culinary experiment.
- Chef Figment is also back, sprinkling a little imagination into your festival photos.
Whether you’re posing with Chef Figment, a giant empanada, or letting Waiter Mickey deliver your next imaginary course, these PhotoPass shots offer a fun souvenir beyond the festival’s merchandise.
The 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival runs August 27 through November 21, giving guests nearly three months to enjoy the festival’s food booths, concerts, scavenger hunts, merchandise, and these limited-time PhotoPass Magic Shots. Guests who purchase Memory Maker will be able to download these photos along with the rest of their Disney PhotoPass images from their visit.
