The festival begins August 27, which means we now have less than two weeks to study the menus, make our lists, change our lists, argue with ourselves about our lists and ultimately order way too much food.

Basically, we’re ready.

The Menus Are Finally Here

Disney’s official Foodie Guide gives us the full lineup of food and beverages coming to this year’s Global Marketplaces, along with specialty offerings around EPCOT.

And there are quite a few things that immediately caught my attention.

Some returning favorites are back, while Disney has also added plenty of new dishes that could become this year’s must-tries.

But There’s a Catch

Here’s the part that may have some Food & Wine fans scratching their heads.

Not every festival offering will be available when the festival opens on August 27.

Disney is staggering the opening of some of the Global Marketplace offerings.

Which means you could show up on opening day with your carefully researched Food & Wine checklist, only to discover that some of the things on it aren’t actually available yet.

Because apparently making a spreadsheet wasn’t enough of a challenge.

Gyozas of the Galaxy Has My Attention

One of the new offerings coming to Gyozas of the Galaxy is the Street Corn-style Dumplings.

The dish features chicken dumplings with tomatillo salsa verde, street corn salad, cotija cheese, lime crema and cilantro.

And honestly?

That sounds like exactly the kind of ridiculous little EPCOT creation I want to try.

It’s a dumpling.

It’s street corn.

It’s covered in cheese and crema.

Someone at Disney clearly decided that subtlety was overrated.

Australia Is Bringing a Shrimp Skewer

If you know me, you know I’m always going to notice when shrimp shows up on a Disney menu.

Australia is serving a grilled bushberry-spiced shrimp skewer with sweet-and-sour vegetables and coconut-chili sauce.

That combination sounds like it could be a serious contender for one of my first festival stops.

And yes, I’m already making room for it.

The Alps Are Bringing the Dessert

Then we have the Kirschwasser Torte at The Alps.

It’s a cherry-brandy dessert featuring buttercream, fondant, sugared almonds and cherry compote.

I’m not saying you should eat dessert before dinner.

I’m just saying nobody at EPCOT is going to stop you.

There Are Plenty of Returning Favorites

Of course, Food & Wine isn’t just about the new stuff.

Part of the fun is seeing which familiar dishes make their way back onto the menus.

Those returning favorites are often the items longtime festival fans immediately start looking for when the menus drop.

Because once you’ve found something you love at Food & Wine, you don’t forget it.

You wait.

You hope.

And then you celebrate when Disney brings it back.

Emile’s Fromage Montage Is Back

Cheese lovers, your annual mission continues.

Emile’s Fromage Montage is returning for 2026, giving guests a chance to sample a selection of cheesy creations throughout the festival.

Complete the challenge and you’ll get the reward that makes every bite of cheese feel even more justified.

Not that we needed an excuse.

And Then There’s the Giant Question: What Is Actually Worth Eating?

This is where the menus get interesting.

There are a lot of choices.

And unless you’re planning to spend your entire vacation walking around EPCOT eating one tiny plate at a time—and honestly, I wouldn’t judge you—you’re going to have to pick and choose.

That’s why I don’t think the best Food & Wine strategy is trying to eat everything.

Instead, look at the menu before you go and figure out which dishes genuinely sound good to you.

Then leave some room for the spontaneous “Oh, that looks good” decisions.

Those are frequently the dangerous ones.

When Does the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival Start?

The 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival runs from August 27 through November 21.

Admission to the festival is included with valid EPCOT admission, although food, beverages, merchandise and special experiences cost extra.

And if you’re visiting early in the festival, pay attention to the individual menu availability dates.

Because that carefully planned food crawl might need a little adjusting.

My Early Picks

I’m going to need to spend some serious time with these menus before I declare my official must-eats.

But the Street Corn-style Dumplings and the Australia shrimp skewer have already made their way onto my mental list.

And that’s before we’ve even started talking about all the desserts.

This is going to be a problem.

Get Your Foodie Checklist Ready

The 2026 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is almost here, and now we finally know what we’re eating.

Well…

We know what we’re planning to eat.

Whether our stomachs, wallets and questionable decision-making skills cooperate is another story.

The menus are out.

The festival starts August 27.

And I’m officially ready to start planning my lap around World Showcase.

Let the snacking begin.

The post EPCOT Food & Wine Festival 2026 Menus Are Finally Here appeared first on Magical Planning Made Easy.

I’m going to try to keep this professional.

I’m going to try to write an actual news article.

But Disney just announced that Dreamfinder is coming back to EPCOT, and honestly, all bets are off.

After 28 years without him, Disney has confirmed that Dreamfinder and Figment will be reunited for a new journey into imagination at EPCOT.

And yes, there may have been some tears.

Dreamfinder Is Coming Back

During the closing moments of the Horizons: A Carousel of Progress Disney Experiences showcase at D23, Disney Experiences Chairman Thomas Mazloum made the announcement Disney fans have been waiting decades to hear.

Disney is taking guests on a new journey into imagination at EPCOT with Dreamfinder and Figment.

That’s it.

That’s the announcement.

And somehow, it was enough.

Disney hasn’t revealed an opening date or provided many details about exactly what the new experience will look like.

But there was one very important thing missing from the announcement that suddenly doesn’t matter quite as much as it used to.

Dreamfinder isn’t missing anymore.

For Younger Disney Fans, Here’s Why This Matters

If you weren’t visiting EPCOT in the 1980s or 1990s, you may be wondering why everyone suddenly lost their minds over a character in a top hat.

Fair question.

Dreamfinder was the central character of the original Journey Into Imagination attraction, which opened at EPCOT in 1983.

He was an eccentric explorer of imagination who traveled through a fantastical world with his little purple creation, Figment.

Together, they introduced generations of guests to the idea that imagination could take you just about anywhere.

And then Disney took him away.

The Day Dreamfinder Disappeared

The original Journey Into Imagination closed for refurbishment in 1998.

When the new version opened in 1999, Dreamfinder was gone.

Figment was barely there.

And Disney fans were not exactly thrilled.

The attraction eventually became Journey Into Imagination With Figment, which brought Figment back into a much larger role, but Dreamfinder never returned.

For nearly three decades, he remained one of those pieces of classic EPCOT history that fans could remember but never actually experience again.

Until now.

One Little Spark Just Got a Whole Lot Brighter

There’s something particularly fitting about Dreamfinder returning to an attraction about imagination.

Because for years, bringing him back was something Disney fans imagined themselves.

Fans talked about it.

They hoped for it.

They begged for it.

And Disney finally said yes.

We don’t know exactly what form Dreamfinder will take in the new experience yet, but Disney has made one thing very clear: he and Figment are coming back together.

And that’s the part that matters.

Disney Says It Heard the Fans

During the announcement, Mazloum specifically acknowledged how important Dreamfinder and Figment are to Disney fans.

He told the D23 crowd that Disney had heard them and that the new journey was another way of putting fans at the center of what the company is doing.

Well, Disney.

We have notes.

And apparently, for once, somebody actually read them.

What We Don’t Know Yet

There are still plenty of questions.

Disney hasn’t announced exactly what the new Journey Into Imagination experience will include.

We don’t have an opening date.

We don’t know how much of the existing attraction will remain.

We don’t know whether we’ll see a completely new adventure or a reimagining that incorporates elements from the original attraction.

And we certainly don’t know whether One Little Spark will return in the way longtime fans are hoping.

Although, Disney, if you’re reading this…

You know what to do.

Welcome Home, Dreamfinder

For all the questions that remain, this announcement doesn’t need much explanation.

Dreamfinder was part of what made early EPCOT feel different.

He wasn’t simply a character.

He represented the idea that imagination was something worth exploring.

And after almost three decades away, he’s finally coming home.

So yes, I’m excited.

Yes, I’m nostalgic.

And yes, I absolutely cried when Disney made the announcement.

Because sometimes a Disney announcement isn’t about a new coaster or a new land.

Sometimes it’s about getting a little piece of your childhood back.

Welcome home, Dreamfinder.

We’ve been waiting.

The post Disney Finally Brings Dreamfinder Home to EPCOT appeared first on Magical Planning Made Easy.

We apparently weren’t done getting emotional yet.

After Disney announced the return of Dreamfinder and Figment, the company also confirmed that another EPCOT icon is getting a major update.

Spaceship Earth is being reimagined.

And considering that giant geodesic sphere is basically the symbol of EPCOT itself, that’s kind of a big deal.

Spaceship Earth Is Changing

Disney announced at D23 that Spaceship Earth will be reimagined as part of the company’s ongoing work at EPCOT.

The attraction will continue exploring humanity’s history and our ability to communicate, but Disney says the new version will put a greater emphasis on human connection.

That sounds like a pretty natural direction for an attraction that has always been about how humans communicate, share ideas and connect with one another.

But anyone who has been riding Spaceship Earth for years knows that even small changes to this attraction can feel enormous.

This Isn’t Just Another Disney Ride

Spaceship Earth isn’t simply an attraction inside EPCOT.

It’s the attraction inside the giant ball.

That’s important.

For millions of guests, the first thing they see when they enter EPCOT is Spaceship Earth.

It’s been there since EPCOT opened in 1982 and has become one of the most recognizable structures in any Disney park.

And the attraction inside it has taken guests on a journey through human history for generations.

The Story Is Getting a New Focus

Disney says the reimagined attraction will continue telling the story of human communication and technological progress while putting more emphasis on the connections between people.

That’s an interesting choice.

Because technology has changed dramatically since the attraction was created.

When Spaceship Earth opened, the idea of instant global communication was still something that sounded futuristic.

Now we’re walking around with computers in our pockets that can translate languages, video chat with someone on the other side of the planet and tell us exactly where we left our car in a parking lot.

Technology moved pretty fast.

Spaceship Earth is going to have to keep up.

But Please Don’t Lose the History

This is where longtime EPCOT fans are probably going to get a little nervous.

Updating Spaceship Earth makes sense.

But the attraction’s history is part of what makes it special.

We want the ancient civilizations.

We want the printing press.

We want the Renaissance.

We want the giant animatronic scenes that somehow made us feel like we were traveling through thousands of years of human history inside a giant golf ball.

That’s a pretty high bar.

EPCOT Is Having Quite a Moment

What’s particularly interesting is that Spaceship Earth’s announcement came during a D23 presentation that also included the return of Dreamfinder and Figment.

Those two announcements together feel significant.

One looks toward the future of EPCOT.

The other brings back a beloved piece of its past.

And maybe that’s exactly what EPCOT needs.

A little bit of both.

What We Still Don’t Know

Disney hasn’t provided every detail about the Spaceship Earth reimagining yet.

We don’t have an opening date.

We don’t know exactly which scenes will change.

We don’t know how extensive the refurbishment will be.

And we certainly don’t know how Disney plans to update the attraction’s story without losing the elements longtime guests love.

Those details will matter.

The Giant Golf Ball Is Getting a Makeover

Okay, technically, Disney doesn’t call it the giant golf ball.

But you know what I mean.

Spaceship Earth is one of those attractions where change is going to get people talking immediately.

And that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

EPCOT has spent years trying to figure out how to balance its original identity with the realities of a modern Disney park.

A reimagined Spaceship Earth could be an important part of that conversation.

As long as Disney remembers that sometimes the best way to move forward is to remember what made the attraction special in the first place.

We’ll be watching this one very closely.

Dates

January 8 – February 22

You can enjoy the 2021 Taste of Epcot International Festival of the Arts with your admission to EPCOT.

Dining Packages

Unfortunately, due to all the COVID restrictions, there will be no dining packages for this year  

Entertainment

At the America Gardens Theatre, you can watch the Voices of Liberty perform classics from the Disney Songbook. From “When You Wish Upon a Star” to “Let It Go,” you will enjoy watching these musical artists celebrate the creativity of Disney composers. Mariachi Cobre is also performing and bringing their thrilling performance to the America Gardens Theatre.

Throughout the World Showcase, performers and artists rotate during the festival. You can see feats of strength with Art Defying Gravity, the high-energy Art in Performance features guest artists painting your favorite Disney characters, or listen to pianists playing your favorite tunes.

The popular JAMMitors adds to the festival atmosphere as they perform on the Mill Stage in the Canada Pavilion  

There are plenty of other ways to express your artistic style throughout Epcot, including:

A step by step character drawing lesson with a Disney animator at the Animation Academy at the American Gardens  

The Expression Station brings back the popular paint-by-numbers art project. All you have to do is grab some paint and add to the masterpiece.

Along the bridge from Future World to World Showcase, you can see the imaginative and creative works of a few chalk artists.

With the help of a stationary bicycle, create your own art by spinning them to life at Spin Art.

Enemy Ink allows you to express your own fashion sense by choosing a design, color, and style as a custom t-shirt is created before your eyes.

Extras

The Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine is the perfect way to sample the festival’s best eats. Grab your Festival Passport and use it as a guide to purchasing five specific food items. At the end of your walk, you will receive a complimentary, tasty technicolor treat.

Figment’s Brush with the Masters invites you to hunt for very Figment-y paintings around the World Showcase. You can purchase a map and stickers for $7.99. Once you are finished, you will receive a special prize at World Travelers or Disney Traders.
