Hi there, Donna, and welcome to planDisney!
As soon as I saw your question, I had to grab it. The
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is one of my favorite celebrations at Walt Disney World. What’s not to love about eating around the world, eating to the beat of awesome musical artists, and riding the thrilling attractions that we know and love? I am happy to share what I know about when we can expect the menus for the Global Marketplaces’ yummy eats.
Let’s take a look at the past. The menus for last year’s festival were released a few weeks before the festival began; however, there were years where the menus were announced two months beforehand. I choose to believe that we’ll hear something along the same lines of last year. So, it could be any day now.
In the meantime, I have good news for you! A couple of months ago, when the official 2024 festival dates were announced, the
Disney Parks Blog said that there would be returning festival favorites like the Passionfruit Cheesecake at the Hawai’i Marketplace and the Apple Strudel from the Germany Marketplace. Yes! And I’m wishing on a star that the downright quirky Pickle Milkshake makes a return—don’t let the name scare you off.
You are going to LOVE taking in the sights and sounds of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. I highly recommend that you watch the planDisney Podcast episode where my friends
Amy and
Jessica dive into all of last year’s festival’s details. There’s no doubt that many of those details will be very similar this year. Keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog to be among the first to know when those menus drop! Donna, please revisit us here at planDisney if you have any other questions about your upcoming vacation.
I’m all ears! Magic always,
LeAndra
