Disney has announced that the 2024 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, presented by CORKCICLE, will take place at Walt Disney World from August 29 through November 23, 2024.
There’s always something to celebrate in EPCOT’s lively neighborhoods, whether it’s the beauty of nature, exciting discoveries, diverse culture, or delicious food. While the park offers a lot every day, here are some highlights you won’t want to miss at this year’s festival.
Global Marketplaces
The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival wouldn’t be complete without the delectable FOOD! Food enthusiasts can anticipate the return of numerous mouthwatering favorites.
Once again, the Belgium Global Marketplace offers Belgian waffles with berry compote, whipped cream, or warm chocolate ganache.
In Germany, say “guten tag” to Apple Strudel with Vanilla Sauce, while just over the mountain, The Alps will feature Dark Chocolate Fondue with Berries, Pound Cake, and Meringues.
Looking for tropical flavors that will whisk you away to paradise? Passionfruit Cheesecake with Toasted Macadamia Nuts will breeze back in the Hawai’i Marketplace!
Emile’s Fromage Montage also returns in 2024. This fun food stroll encourages guests to sample a variety of delicious cheeses served in inventive ways. Purchase any five cheese dishes from the official Global Marketplaces list in your Festival Passport and make sure to collect a stamp for each dish purchased. Once you’ve collected all five stamps, bring the passport to the specified location for a specialty unique item to enjoy!
