FIRST LOOK at the 2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Passport

It’s finally Food and Wine Festival time!

Food and Wine is here!

We’re heading around the park eating all the festival eats, and enjoying the scavenger hunt, and we can’t wait to see some live entertainment later today. But how do you know how to make your way around the festival? You’ll need to pick up a Festival Passport!

Your Festival Passport will detail all the different food booths and the menu items at each one, as well as share details about when to catch live performances and how to find additional festival activities. Let’s take a look!

You’ll want to pick yours at any of the food booths in the World Showcase. Currently, there are none at the entrances, but Disney may add stands with Passports near the entrances soon (they’re usually available there, but not today).

This is different from previous years and this could also change. If you have trouble finding them, ask a nearby Cast Member.

Find them at the booths!

When you open the passport, the first thing you’ll see is a Corkcicle ad as they are the sponsor of this year’s Food and Wine Festival. You will also find a welcome page giving some information on important pieces of the festival. It will break down what Global Marketplaces are, what the Eat to the Beat Concert Series is, and more.

Next, you’ll find some fun activities listed for kids of all ages. This includes Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak, Green Landing Play Zone and Choose Your Course. You’ll also see the festival Disney Gift Card design. These gift cards are available in amounts of $15 and up and are reloadable. A gift card could be the perfect way to budget for all of those drinks and dishes you’ll get.

Fun for all!

You’ll find merchandise items for the festival listed. This year there are 3 major collections: EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse Picnic Collection, and Disney’s Encanto Collection. There’s also an Annual Passholder-exclusive collection. You’ll see some photos of the items as well.

You’ll find the complete list of the performances for the Eat to the Beat Concert series listed as well as the times for those performances.

You will then find each festival booth listed with every food and drink option available for the festival. Here’s an example of Flavors from Fire and The Fry Basket.

In the middle of the passport, you’ll see a Choose Your Course chart. This can help you when you aren’t sure what festival item to try next.

Finally, the back pages detail how to play Emile’s Fromage Montage, which is exclusive to the Food and Wine Festival. There is also a page for you to collect the stamps for each item. If you collect all five stamps, you can head to the Shimmering Sips food booth to collect your free prize!

You will definitely want to pick one of these up before you start your Food and Wine journey around the world.
