LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Disney World on Tuesday announced dates and details for its 2024 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.
The popular festival will take place this year from Aug. 29 through Nov. 23, according to a post on the official Disney Parks Blog.
Disney World's Food & Wine Festival had started in July in recent years following the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, it is closer to its previous schedule.
Park-goers can enjoy returning festival culinary favorites this year — including Belgian Waffles with Berry Compote and Whipped Cream or Warm Chocolate Ganache at the Belgium Global Marketplace, Apple Strudel with Vanilla Sauce at The Alps and Passionfruit Cheesecake with Toasted Macadamia Nuts at the Hawai’i Marketplace. Emile’s Fromage Montage will also return this year, where guests can sample an array of cheeses with a unique twist.
A new year at Food & Wine Festival also means new themed merchandise. Guests can look forward to merch featuring their favorite characters, such as Figment the purple dragon, Remy from “Ratatouille” and Mickey Mouse.
Merchandise selections will include themed kitchen supplies, drinkware from CORKCICLE and more.
Disney also stated that CommuniCore Hall, which is set to open on June 10 in World Celebration, will also include elements new to the festival.
The Eat to the Beat Concert Series presented by Florida Blue will return this year, according to Disney, with nightly performances in the America Gardens Theatre. The lineup for the concerts has not been announced yet. Dining packages will also be available.
Park-goers who are interested in participating in a scavenger hunt can buy a map (while supplies last) for Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak to find the character hidden throughout World Showcase.
