Welcome to EPCOT
Introduction to the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival 4

Introduction to the EPCOT Food & Wine The 2021 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival promises to be a
great time of new tastes, and amazing experiences! The
Festival 26th annual event runs from July 15th through November
20th. Don't forget to check out our updated EPCOT Food
and Wine Festival FAQ section featuring answers to
questions you didn't even know you had!
Note that the 2020 festival looked a little different last year
due to social distancing guidelines, and many of those
changes are carrying over into 2021. We'll note this year's
changes throughout the guide, but for starters know that
Eat to the Beat Concerts have been canceled, most special
events and seminars will not return for 2021, and nine food
booths won't open until later in the festival.
In this chapter, we also share updated information that
you'll need to know in order to plan your Walt Disney World
visit.
A Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival will
feature 32 signature global marketplaces spaced
throughout the park. There is no special admission to visit
the Food & Wine Festival – simply purchase admission to
EPCOT for the day. However, you'll now need a park
reservation in addition to your admission ticket to get
access to EPCOT.
There are separate charges for food, beverages, activities,
and event tickets.

and your festivals. We’re sharing the tips you need for your next trip to Disney
World!
Just in case you need a refresher or are attending the
festival for the first time, here's a primer on “how it works.”
Walt Disney World Vacation Planning
When the parks and resorts reopened last year at Walt
Disney World, we saw a lot of changes due to health and
safety. But we're seeing some operations returning to
normal!
While we witnessed Disney quietly eliminating some safety
procedures in the early summer, we are recently seeing the
return of some requirements such as face masks when
indoors.
This new mask requirement applies to everyone ages 2 and
up, even if you’re vaccinated.
Still, we’re seeing issues that we’ve never had to manage
before, and we’re gonna keep you up to speed on what you
need to do to have a smoother vacation. Stay tuned to DFB,
and note that all dates are highly subject to change.
The name of the game is to stay flexible!

International Marketplace Booths 47

International Marketplace Booths The Marketplace booths, also known as the World
Showcase booths, are the centerpiece to the 2021 EPCOT
Food & Wine Festival. Enjoy food and wine from all over the
globe as you eat “around the world” in EPCOT!
Start by reading our 2021 reviews.
Intro to the booths
If you're new to the festival, or if you haven't been in a
while, it might help if we go over a few tips for visiting the
kiosks.
The Marketplace booths are small, stand-alone structures
situated mostly around the World Showcase Lagoon. There
are over 30 of these booths and dining stops, and each one
offers small, tapas-sized plates of food, and/or small
servings of alcohol that are associated with the region or
country represented by the booth.
The booths open at 11AM every day, and close when the
World Showcase closes – 9PM most nights.
Avoiding Lines/Queues
The booths around the World Showcase (and now in Future
World) are very popular at the Food & Wine Festival, which
means you need to be cunning to avoid the long
(sometimes very long – upwards of 20 minutes or more)
waits to order. Here are our top tips to avoid lines at the

EPCOT Food and Wine Fest Touring Strategies 133

EPCOT Food and Wine Fest Touring If you're new to the festival or are trying to figure out how
to fit it all into your schedule, it's easy to get overwhelmed.
Strategies
We've created customized touring strategies that point you
in the right direction. These offer suggested activities and
enhancements based on what's important to you.
With over 30 food booths and additional locations (i.e.
Joffrey's stands!), it’s not unreasonable to think you can
enjoy them all -- even in a single day. That said, prioritizing
what you must enjoy versus what you’d like to enjoy is still
important. And we'd also like to share some ways to can
enhance your Festival experience with all the options
available to you throughout the park.
One Day Strategy
You only have one day to attend the EPCOT International
Food & Wine Festival? No problem. With a little planning,
you can experience several of the incredible options
available this year and still work in plenty of classic EPCOT
attraction fun!
How to start: In the opening months of the Festival, EPCOT
is slated to open at 11AM daily (10AM in October), as of
press time. We recommend that you save your attractions
for later in the day, since hitting the booths as soon as they
open means spending less time waiting in lines to get those
must-eat and must-drink items (especially on the
weekends). Lines are less likely to form that early in the

Afternoon Advisory: Something to keep in mind for To aid in your plans, note the locations of Festival Markets
carrying the exclusive merchandise. These include markets
in Mexico, Germany, Japan, Canada, and the World
Showcase entry promenade. And when your ‘round the
world travels take you near The American Adventure
pavilion, be sure to catch a performance by the Jammitors,
the Voices of Liberty, or Mariachi Cobre in the American
Gardens Theatre! They will offer several performances
throughout the day, so you can catch some great live
entertainment no matter when you arrive in the area.
If you're enjoying the Festival on Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
or Monday evening, be sure to stop by the Theatre for the
America Gardens Bandstand. This series brings live local
musicians to the park for some rockin' concerts!

additional locations) and just a few extras like Flower &
Garden Festival displays and lively entertainment on the
America Gardens Stage, so you may very well be able to do
-- and eat -- it all!
Still, any good strategy requires some planning, and we
suggest enjoying most of your must-haves on Day One if
you can.
DAY ONE
Start at the booths right when they open. Then, as you
spend your day touring, look for ways to create a food
experience beyond what’s on your plate. (Check out our
