2025 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival Information & Planning Thread

Has anyone tried to book the dining package for The Beach Boys for Nov 16 or 17? I was on at 6AM each day and several times throughout the day and it keeps saying nothing available.

It could be that the packages for those dates have not been downloaded into their system. Have you tried calling 407-WDW-DINE?

I try to avoid calling, have usually been able to book online. I was just wondering if anyone else was able to book.

I think there must be a system glitch (shocking, I know ) But the dining reservation alert service I use is showing a lot of availability but then when you get to the Disney system, nothing. So, something is broken somewhere. Definitely keep checking!!

Just gotta say, for a weekend at Food and Wine, yesterday seemed pretty low crowd. Shocking being a Sunday and absolutely gorgeous weather. Was at Epcot all day and never had a line more than one or two people ahead of us the entire day at the food booths. Booths that are usually popular, like Canada, had zero line at around 5:45 last night! Made for a great day of trying out all the food! Can't wait to try more today!

Is there information about food allergies at food and wine?
Someplace to see ingredients?

Communicore Hall is currently closed for re-imagining.

Maybe something new is coming for the Food & Wine Festival!

Somehow, I know I will be disappointed. Probably wont' be anything exciting until they do it up for Christmas with Santa!

In the MDE app, you will see the allergy guide when you find the Food & Wine section.

Yay for the frozen s'mores being back!!!

I hate that the 2 new booths don't open until just before my trip. I want to know if I need to add any items to my list!

Yes - you need to add the pierogies and the guiness shake!

Sadly no alcohol for me so no shake. I love the pierogies but I have one day at the fest and am trying to focus on new items and a couple favorites.

I originally was not planning to go this year, but added a day to my HHN trip. One day is better then no days!

So now that we've gotten a taste of the weekend and weekdays, I gotta say this is the quietest food and wine fest we've ever been to. Still haven't had any lines longer than 3-4 people, most booths have had no line at all. Tons of available tables too, it feels weird not having to eat off a trash can! Can't complain though, this is awesome!

So far our favorites have been the trout from bramblewood bites, the cheesecake from Hawaii, the pumpkin ravioli from Forest and Field, and the seafood roll from America.

Hopefully it stays that way around Halloween, but i have a feeling it won't.

Hope the low crowds hold out, I'll be there in a few days!
