REVIEW: The CHEAP Canadian Cheese Soup Is BACK At EPCOT!

“O CANADA…” We are SO glad that you are back at the 2026 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival!

Canada

Why, exactly, are we so excited? Well, it’s because the Canada Food Booth holds the distinction of having both of its star menu items recognized as 30th Anniversary Legacy Items for this year’s milestone Food and Wine Festival celebration! Over the years, we’ve certainly found the dishes at this popular booth to be deserving of landing on our own list of Best of the Fest picks time and time again. So, as we continue to visit all of the Festival Marketplace Food Booths to bring you our full review, let’s see how these items are faring this year, and if they still deserve a spot on YOUR must-eat list.

Eats

By the time we started eating our food, well, let’s just say the skies opened up and poured forth their fury. So the Cheddar and Bacon Soup, which has been a longtime favorite, hit a bit differently than when we’ve had it on those hot and sunny days. For $6.29, this Festival Legacy Item is served with a Pretzel Roll. It’s that classic soup with the smoky bacon flavor and just LOTS of creamy and cheesy deliciousness. ALL the Cheese.

Cheddar and Bacon Soup

The pretzel roll, though, was a little tough. But then again, it did get a little softer once the rain hit…well…soggy. Just dip it in the soup, and it’s fine.

The other star dish (and fellow Legacy item) is the Filet Mignon with Mushrooms and Mashed Potatoes. For $10.49, this is one of the pricier items at the Festival, so it’s especially good for Disney Dining Plan participants to know that it — like the Cheddar and Bacon Soup — is eligible for a snack credit.

Filet Mignon

The filet mignon is delicious, as always, but be warned that ours was medium-rare, so if you like your meat more done than that, you’ve been warned. It has a ton of flavor with a lovely crust. The mushrooms are also a nice addition. The potatoes are also flavorful, well-seasoned, creamy, and delicious.

Now, let’s raise a glass to these Legacy dishes…

Drinks

Festbier returns to the beverage menu from Collective Arts Brewing in Hamilton, Ontario. You can try a 6-ounce pour for $6.00, or a 12-ounce pour for $9.75. We hope you love the taste of hops because this one is SUPER hoppy, so you get a lot of harsh bitterness. Unless you love that kind of flavor, stay away.

The Château des Charmes Pétales Rouge from Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario returns for $9.50.

Quite simply, this is a truly lovely wine, akin to a very light and fresh Pinot Noir. It remains one of our favorite wine pours at the Festival.

OVERALL

The Canada booth is always a must-visit at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, and we know the two menu items here are always going to be consistent. We will have to say that we wish Canada would switch things up at the next festival and maybe offer a new menu item to keep things from getting too boring. However, the filet offers a good bang for your buck if you’re using the Disney Dining Plan, while the cheese soup is a way to get some of the BEST soup in Disney World without a reservation.
