Hello Lisa,
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question. Visiting EPCOT during any festival adds an extra element of fun, but the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is one of my favorites. I love sampling dishes at the
Global Marketplaces, and there are always tunes that get my toes tapping at the
Eat to the Beat Concert Series.
Guests can often look forward to returning favorites at the Global Marketplaces, like The Swanky Saucy Swine. Then there are always new booths to look forward to. Last year Lobster Landing fell into this category, and opened later in October during the festival to many guests delight (that lobster dip was delicious). Even though it was a late addition, it was included in the initial line up, along with some other booths that were also opening in October. This year it looks like the late openers will be appearing mid-August, and sadly, it's not on the list.
Although you can never rule out unexpected surprises, if tradition holds, the lineup of Global Marketplaces for 2022 is probably fairly accurate. I'm not sure how long your trip is, but Coastal Eats, opening August 15, might have some lobster treats on their menu - fingers crossed on that one. We'll know more when the menus are announced. Stay tuned to the
Disney Parks Blog for that information. You can usually find some
fantastic foodie guides with photos of all of the menu items. My mouth is watering just thinking about all of the delicious options.
Hope this helps. Have a magical vacation!
Diane
