We don’t know about you, but we are READY for the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, so it’s a good thing that it just kicked off!

The 2026 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival runs from August 27th through November 21st and brings a ton of fun activities, entertainment, souvenirs, concerts, and, of course — FOOD — to the park. There is a TON to see and do at this festival, so how are you supposed to keep track of it all?! Well, in addition to following us here at DFB, you need to pick up a Festival Passport, and we’re bringing you a first look at this year’s!

When you visit EPCOT during the Food & Wine Festival, you can pick up a passport at a display just after passing through either of the park’s entrances or at any of the Festival Food Booths in the park. If you have trouble finding them, just ask a nearby Cast Member, and they should be able to help you out!

Once you open the passport booklet, the Welcome section breaks down a few specifics about the Festival (like all you need to know about the Global Marketplaces and the Eat to the Beat Concert Series).

Next, you’ll find an overview of a few Festival activities that anyone can enjoy!  These include brief overviews of Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt and Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit (which is available for a limited time for the Halloween season).

The Passport will also let you know where you can find this year’s Festival merchandise collections. We’ve got our eyes on the new Minnie ears — anyone else? (Oh, and psst: Disney World Annual Passholders are also eligible to purchase exclusive items!)

Okay, NOW we’re getting to the good stuff. The bulk of the passport contains each festival Food Booth, complete with its full menu. You can check out some of these pages below!

It will tell you where each booth is, along with all the food and drink offerings at that booth. There are even a few pictures for you to get an idea of what to expect.

And if you are planning to participate in the Festival’s beloved CHEESE CRAWL  — Emile’s Fromage Montage— then you’ll definitely want to pay attention to these pages. (In fact, the passport is REQUIRED for Fromage Montage participants, so be sure to store it in a safe place in your park bag so you don’t lose it!)

You see, whenever you purchase an item that is eligible as part of the Crawl, a Cast Member will stamp your passport when you place your item order as proof that you have purchased an eligible item. If you collect five stamps, then you can head to the Shimmering Sips booth to collect your free prize!

So, be sure to grab that Festival Passport, my friends, and get to eating, sipping, and ENJOYING everything this year at the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival!
