While you have just under four months to explore the various offerings at the two dozen or so food booths at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival (they’re called Global Marketplaces during this festival), Disney likes to keep it exciting by adding new Marketplaces along the way. To liven things up, there are three new booths opening today (September 22, 2023), and one more coming later with a date to still be announced.

To make things even more interesting, these booths will stay open throughout the next festival, the Festival of the Holidays, giving you an even longer shot at sampling the dishes at these new venues.  Or, to come back a second time if you enjoy their special menus. This year’s Food & Wine Festival runs through November 18, while the Festival of the Holidays runs November 24-December 30, 2023.
