Full Booth Menus for 2025 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival

Walt Disney World has released Global Marketplace menus for the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. Here are all new & returning food booths, full list of snacks, desserts & drinks, plus photos of every item. We wrap things up by offering commentary about which dishes have us most excited, and the balance of adventurous versus crowd-pleasing cuisine.

As a reminder, this year’s EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival at Walt Disney World starts on August 28, 2025 and runs through November 22, 2025 for a grand total of 87 days. It’s beginning and ending one day earlier than last year, reflecting a return to 2019 normal after a few years of an expanded event. See our Guide to the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival for everything you need to know, including savvy strategy for beating the crowds, saving money, and best enjoying the event.

The Global Marketplaces will span six continents and be located throughout the World Showcase pavilions and spill into the former Future World, with the booths open most of each operating day. Note that every Global Marketplace will not be open when the festival kicks off–there are two that have delayed openings in late September 2025.

Aside from the shortening, the biggest change last year was the end of construction and opening of CommuniCore Hall. Unfortunately, this venue underwhelms. It’s inferior to the retrofits done with Wonders or World ShowPlace, the past festival centers. Both are much larger, allowing for multiple booths, tons of seating, areas to decompress, and indoor entertainment. Walt Disney World got creative and put both to use brilliantly for events.

CommuniCore isn’t creative on any level–the only amazing thing about it is that a venue created specifically for festivals is worse at hosting them than the ones above. Never mind the fact that it’s not really even functioning as a festival center, but rather, a glorified food & merchandise booth. We had hoped this would change for 2025, and there’s now a flicker of hope that it might!

This is because no booths have been announced for CommuniCore Hall during the 2025 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival! Last year, it was home to the Macatizers (Mac & Cheese) booth as well as Festival Favorites. It’s currently serving as GoofyCore Hall for Cool Kid Summer, and maybe that’ll simply be extended. But here’s hoping that Walt Disney World has bigger and better unannounced plans for CommuniCore Hall. We’ll keep you posted!

Part of the reason we’re pleased that no booths have been announced for CommuniCore Hall is because we are hopeful for a return of other offerings like culinary seminars, demonstrations, meals with celebrity chefs, and other special events. As explained in EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival Is Stale. Here’s What We Want Disney to Change, the event really needs a shot in the arm.

This is supposed to be EPCOT’s flagship festival, but has become the weakest event of the year with the least substance. Thus far, the only one of these to be announced for 2025 is the Parisian Breakfast at Chefs de France. Better than nothing, I guess–but still a small fraction of what was offered back in 2019.

Although also unrelated to the full menus of Global Marketplace booths, Walt Disney World has announced the entertainment and other offerings that’ll return for the 2025 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. Namely, they released the full performer lineup for the Eat to the Beat Concert Series and dining package restaurants and pricing. Those are now available for booking, and Walt Disney World also revealed the final TBA acts within the last week or so.

Cheese lovers will want to check out Emile’s Fromage Montage, where you can sample a variety of delicious cheeses served in inventive ways. Purchase any five cheese dishes listed in the Festival Passport and collect a stamp for each cheese dish purchased. Once you’ve collected all five stamps, bring the stamped Festival Passport to Shimmering Sips for a specialty souvenir.

As you embark on your flavorful adventure, you’ll want to check out Emile’s Fromage Montage. Start planning your cheesy stroll with the menu items designated with a 🧀 below.

The return of this fan-favorite food stroll features several cheesy goodies from the Global Marketplaces. Simply pick up a Festival Passport and collect stamps by purchasing five of these items. Once you’ve gotten them all, head over to Shimmering Sips for a special redemption prize.

Our Commentary

The last 5 years of the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival have been hit or miss. As mentioned above, last year’s event was incredibly underwhelming as a whole. Even though the park was wall-free, the event still was not back to “2019 normal” in countless ways. Not only that, but the park didn’t even utilize its space for a fresh decor package–it was actually scaled back as contrasted with prior years.

However, this is a post about the Global Marketplace menus, and in that regard, last year was a nice bounceback year for the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. The event had a fantastic lineup of booths, particularly in the Harvest Hollow area between Journey into Imagination and World Showcase. The trio of brand-new booths here was the highlight of the entire event.

By and large, this strikes me as a continuation of that. The Harvest Hollow booths–Milled & Mulled, Forest & Field, and Bramblewood Bites–all look to be about on par with last year. There are menu updates to each of them, but they all look to be comparable in quality. Same goes for other former Future World booths, which should again be the high point, with the new Gyoza of the Galaxy being especially intriguing.

I really wish we could ditch the french fry and chicken wing booths, but the long lines at both suggest I’m a vocal minority when it comes to those. Another positive is Coastal Eats. Oh, and improvements to both the American Adventure (no longer all hot dogs!) and Japan are welcome, even if it’d be nice to see updates to some booths around World Showcase that haven’t changed in years.

All in all, the culinary lineup at the 2025 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival might just strike the right balance between crowd-pleasing and envelope-pushing. While I’d personally prefer a lot more of the latter, I’m also cognizant of the fact that this event is “more mainstream” than the other festivals. Even though it’s the one ostensibly dedicated to food, Walt Disney World still needs to be responsive to what actual guests actually want—this probably strikes the right balance. Either way, I cannot wait—there’s a lot that looks good, between now dishes and familiar favorites!
