2025 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival Information & Planning Thread

So excited to see the exhibit! DS is a musician on Broadway, and I enjoy seeing exhibits from musicals.

Updated exhibit coming to Communicore Hall for Festival of the Arts (however, no exhibit was developed for the Food & Wine Festival!)

It’s probably all down to money. The Arts exhibit is a static exhibit of costumes and props. It doesn’t require any CMs once it’s set up. A Food and Wine exhibit would most likely involve demonstrations or sampling, both of which would require CMs to be working the area daily.

I miss the live food and wine demonstrations they used to have. It really added value to the festival outside of simply drinking and eating your way around World Showcase.

Sounds great for Arts (my new favorite festival) but also seems like a big middle finger to Food and Wine. That makes me sad. F&W started it all.

Even if they didn’t have the staff to do demonstrations during Food & Wine they could’ve at least given that space some sort of effort. We stopped by last week and it’s just a barren space with a few tables and chairs. Such a waste.
