The Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is rapidly approaching! We are only two months away from opening date, which has been moved up this year to September 19. And the Festival lasts until November 10! That means that guests who enjoy this event will have 53 full days worth of delicious delicacies and wonderful beverages!
Of course, the most popular part of the Food & Wine Festival has to be the International Marketplace booths, which are scattered throughout World Showcase. This year there are more than 25 different booths you can choose to stop at to try a cornucopia of cuisines. The event is a food lover’s paradise.
Today, I share with you the menus of each Marketplace. I’m starting to figure out my list of where my must-stops will be, and I bet you will be too!

It’s always interesting to look at the list each year and see what’s new and what remains. It looks like quite a few booths are trying some new stuff, but, of course, you’ll still be able to grab some favorite standbys.
One of the best tips I have for the Festival (because I go every year, and this year will be there twice) is to purchase a special Festival gift card. It comes on a bungee cord that you wear around your wrist, so when you go from booth to booth, it’s super easy to spend your money. You can purchase one of these gift cards at the Epcot Main Entrance ticket booth, Guest Relations, and various other locations in the Festival Center. What’s great about this card is that you don’t just have to use it on Festival treats and merchandise; it can be utilized anywhere on Disney property.
