2025 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival Information & Planning Thread

Wow, really perusing the menu, a LOT looks good.

Hand to god, even the Italy booth sounds good! the picture of the pizza roll thing looked good!

And this from the Germany quick service sounds great!

• Zwiebelkuchen: German onion cake with caramelized onions, bacon, herbs, and a savory custard (New)

What the bleep did they do to my Hawaii cheesecake?! It doesn’t even look appealing, looks like some overly food dyed kids dessert.

As I'm reading this my husband is yelling in the background that he wants everything from the Hawaii booth!

The Italy menu sounds good. Hoping they can get a win this year.

My thought process for Italy usually goes something like this…

Planning, 2 months out: Looks good! WAIT. NO. That is a House of Disappointment. Stay away.

Planning, 1 month out: Bob on the internet says they’ve redeemed themselves this year!! Wait. No. Heard that one before.

Arrival: Look at the pretty photo! It kinda smells good.. look at all the people in line, can’t be that bad! I’m here to try new things after all!

End result: if I had just lit my $20 bill on fire it would have been much faster and my tastebuds would still be talking to me

after digging in...there are 6 new beers i cant wait to try

Noticed a good amount of seafood... which can be good or bad. I love trying it, but seafood is SO easy for them to mess up.

Same thoughts.

But I'm still getting that crab cake anyways!

And the seafood pot pie, the paella, the seafood roll, and the trout...

So excited to try the seafood, all the seafood!

 

[AdamsMum]

So glad they have lots of seafood. Does anyone know if you can still use a quick service meal for 3 items? I'm trying to decide on QS dining plan or not.

Can't wait for the Gyoza, i will getting every single one. I saw a bunch of beers that we will be having as well. The Crabcake looks good, I will give Italy a shot for once.
I also must have the new corksicle and the Muppetlabs shirt.
I am optimistic.

Yeah, was surprised on the Italy Booth, all need tasted.
Still had hoped for Ireland to make a return.

 

[VAtink]

Aw man, got super excited about Gyozas, only to realize that it doesn't open until after our trip. Why Disney, whyyyyyy????

 

[Minnesota!]

Some delicious looking things and, as a pescatarian....so many options!

 

[summerlvr]

Who's had that fall fruit cheesecake with the fig, etc.? They say it's a returning favorite, but I haven't been in several years, so I don't remember it. How is it? Sounds good!

It was one of my favorite things last year!

I built a little spreadsheet of all the eats options at the F&W festival. I printed it to a pdf file and have attached it.
Mama and I like to go thru it independently and see what we come up with as common interests. We're staying at Beach Club so many evenings we'll just stroll over and grab a bite at EPCOT for dinner.

Just a note....I did not include the few sites that don't open until Sept 28. We're only there Sep 12-18.

I hope this may help a few folks...

 

[pooch]

Ok maybe I missed this? Which booths don’t open until 9/28? And I’m disappointed no Festival Eats, everything from last year looked so good!

-- Coastal Eats....mostly seafood
-- Gyozas of the Galaxy....dumplings
