NEW Gift Card Wristlets

This year, Disney is making it even easier to snap up items with Gift Card wristlets available at merchandise locations in EPCOT. In addition to the Global Marketplaces, they can be used anywhere Disney Gift Cards are accepted. I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing for our wallets!

EPCOT Food & Wine Festival Merch

It’s always exciting to see new designs for event merchandise, and this year’s lineup looks colorful and conspicuous – but in a good way! Featuring some of our favorite Disney characters, it’s hard to imagine these items not being popular with guests.

Let’s take a closer look at a few of them!

• Lug’s Remy Skeeter Mini Crossbody Bag

• Remy from “Ratatouille” Kitchen Timer

• EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival 2024 Measuring Cups

• EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival 2024 Trash Can Salt & Pepper Shakers and Mug

•  Figment CORKCICLE Canteen and Figment Loungefly Mini Backpack

Don’t worry, Mickey Mouse items are also available!

CommuniCore Hall Conundrum

Dusty visited CommuniCore Hall upon its debut a few months ago. The new area is exactly what it sounds like, a hall with seating areas, tables, and couches.

During festivals, the space has walls that expose little kitchens where food can be served. Disney shared that Communicore Hall would boast “exciting fresh elements” during the Food & Wine Festival this year.

Unfortunately, the results are underwhelming, with a lack of theming and randomly dispersed merchandise guests can already pick up in other areas of EPCOT.

Here’s a look at the Food & Wine Festival merchandise available in CommuniCore Hall.

NEW Harvest Hollow Area & Booths

This year a new area, Harvest Hollow, can be found between CommuniCore Hall and World Showcase, providing three new booths: Bramblewood Bites, Milled & Mulled, and Forest & Field.

We sampled Forest & Field’s Pumpkin Mascarpone Ravioli, which was delicious, but fell short with its small portion size of only 3 raviolis, made even more conspicuous by the large bowl it was served in.

Always Entertaining Eat to the Beat Concert Series 

Another fan-favorite festival feature is the Eat to the Beat Concert Series. Boasting some impressive names, guests love to capture fun moments and share them on social media. Have you seen some of them? It’s always entertaining to watch performers engage with the audience at the beautiful America Gardens Theatre. Nightly shows feature well-known artists and local talent consisting of new and returning names. Check out this year’s live music lineup:

Eat to the Beat Dining Packages 2024

Guests who secure Eat to the Beat dining packages are ensured a seat and a pre-performance meal at select EPCOT restaurants (from August 30 through November 18, 2024). The meal includes an appetizer, entrée, and dessert OR a full buffet (where applicable). It also comes with one nonalcoholic beverage (or alcoholic for Guests 21 and older). Spice Road Table’s lineup is a little different with a meal including 2 small plates, a shared tagine, a shared dessert platter, and a nonalcoholic beverage (or alcoholic for Guests 21 and older). Here’s a list of the participating restaurants and pricing (Applies to Fridays through Mondays only).

NOTE – Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue is the only location that offers same-day Eat to the Beat dining packages. Visit the restaurant during the festival to check availability.

Scavenger Hunt Shenanigans

This year, Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak returns to World Showcase, complete with cleverly hidden figures of the chef himself. Get your map while supplies last!

The stickers give you an idea of the ingredients Remy is collecting.

Look carefully! Remy can be well hidden and rather hard to see, especially for littles.

Here’s a look at the four bowl options guests can choose from for their scavenger hunt reward, featuring Chef Mickey, Figment, and Remy himself.

There’s a lot in store for EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival this year. Let the foodie fun begin!
