If you’ve been waiting to book your fall Disney World vacation until the dates for the 2023 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival dropped, wait no longer. Disney has shared the schedule for the 2023 food fest, and it starts a bit later than last year.  This year’s culinary celebration runs July 27 through November 18, 2023.



There will be more than 25 Global Marketplaces (known to the rest of us as food booths), including last year’s big draws, The Fry Basket and Flavors from Fire. And, as was the case in the past, several Global Marketplaces will debut in the latter part of the festival, offering new dining opportunities later in the season to keep things fresh. 

Returning fan favorite activities include Emile’s Fromage Montage, a fun cheese crawl around the Global Marketplaces that earns you a chance to redeem a sweet treat at the end of your 5 plate cheese-eating-binge.

   
If your family enjoys scavenger hunts, there are two to choose from this year. Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak will be back, and guests can search high and low throughout the World Showcase pavilions for that Lil’ Chef, Remy.  If you are there during the Halloween season (September 29 through October 31), you can also hunt for special Disney-themed pumpkins during Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit



And though we don’t have the line-up of artists yet, the Eat to the Beat Concert Series will also be bringing the energy to the festival’s nights.

 
If you don’t want to miss any of the upcoming details, or if you are planning ahead for your dining adventures, you can check in at TasteEPCOT.com for future foodie updates from Disney. We’ll also let you know when the full list of Marketplace booths and performer schedules arrive!
