2020 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival - Has Now Ended.

Has anyone done the Remy’s Hide and Squeak this year? Wondering what the prize is, and if anyone has a photo of it.

currently it's a cup left from flower and garden. I wonder if it will change in the coming weeks.

Tried the impossible burger slider today. Was pleasantly surprised by it. Pretty good. The bun is the worst part of the slider. Cold and hard.

What have people thought of the food and drink kiosks?
They obviously have fewer than previous years, and some favorites are gone.
In past years, we have spent 3 days for F&W, but that also involved 2 noon food and wine pairings. It seems now 2 days would be more than enough. Is that correct?

Going by menus and reviews I've prioritized 9 or 10 booths I'd really like to hit in our two Epcot days. I think it's do-able and if I don't make it to all of them I'll get over it. We're planning to go at 11am to eat, do some rides, then try a few more booths an hour or so before park closing,

I'm just posting this information in case people are not aware of the recent change to Epcot's operating hours. Beginning on Sept 8, Epcot will open at 11:00 am and close at 7:00 PM. These hours are currently in effect until October 31, 2020. They may be extended in November, depending if the number of people visiting the park increases.

Unfortunately, Islands of the Caribbean is now closed. This is confirmed by the booth menu page on the Disney website being modified.

Ya was there Sunday, and thought it was strange at the time all the menu displays were put behind the booth, everything was closed up. Def didn't look like at the time this was just some temporary closure

Thanks for the update. Odd and interesting. I wonder if any others are on the chopping block. Or if they’ll still add the additional booths they planned to in fall.

You get to choose between a blue Mickey cup and a green Donald and spike cup. They’re both pretty cute!

Odd, it was open this past Saturday.

We really enjoyed the coconut key lime ale from citrus blossom, but I did not love the crispy chicken with orange aioli. I don’t love chicken thighs and this one was pretty rubbery. And the aioli has an odd flavor.

Opposite at Canada where the soup was grand but the blackberry beer was too syrupy sweet.

The warm carrot cake with cream cheese icing from Hops & Barley may have been my favorite bite of the day. Pale ale offering at this booth was great as well.

Sadly lines were too long and we were too hot to eat much more!

Any predictions as to when we'll see the "Coming This Fall" booths open? Alps, Spain, Flavors from Fire, Doughnut Truck. Any others?

My fingers are crossed for the Cheese studio or Chocolate studio! Maple bourbon cheesecake and liquid nitrogen chocolate truffle are 2 of our favorites!

I was thinking the nitro cake pops replaced the chocolate truffle this year.

Yeah, sadly I was thinking the same - I can’t eat gluten so I’m bummed!

@2xcited2sleep I was looking forward to asking if you were planning to attend PFTS. Maybe next year

I was looking forward to it too. And to obsessively reviewing the various event descriptions, which I'm sure would have included some extra cool experiences in honor of the 25th anniversary of the festival. At this point I even miss the debacle that is usually the day the tickets go on sale...

Oh well, hopefully it's fully back and better than ever next year.

Update on the Islands of the Caribbean booth ... it was open yesterday. I guess it is open only on Saturdays now (according to another site and based on what cast members told them).
