The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is one of the best times of year to visit Disney World, but it can also be one of the most exhausting.
The EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
Between crisscrossing the World Showcase for global marketplace booths, standing in line under the Florida sun, and juggling small plates while trying to keep your hands free, having the right gear can make or break your day. We tested a stack of products to see which ones actually earn a spot in your Festival bag, and these four came out on top.

Reusable Travel Utensils Set
The Reusable Travel Utensils Set with Case is a must-have if you’re hopping from booth to booth sampling everything the Festival has to offer. With so many small plates and shareable bites at each marketplace, you’ll go through a lot of disposable forks and spoons fast. This set gives every member of your group their own color-coded utensils that tuck neatly into a compact case for your bag or pocket. It’s an easy, eco-friendly swap that cuts down on waste.
This tray makes carrying food around EPCOT easier!
We always bring a tray!
The PATIKIL Plastic Tray 2-Pack solves one of the most common Food & Wine struggles: sharing. Festival portions are designed for sampling, which usually means splitting dishes with your travel companions on the go, often while standing. These lightweight, reusable trays give you a stable surface to divide up dumplings, empanadas, or dessert bites without balancing everything on a flimsy paper boat, and they wipe clean in seconds for the next booth.
We love this waist fan to keep us cool on the go!
It worked great for us!
The AMKEN Waist Fan is the hands-free cooling solution you didn’t know you needed for a Florida festival day. Food & Wine means a lot of time standing in booth lines and walking the Showcase promenade in the heat, and this rechargeable, clip-on fan keeps the air moving without taking up a hand you’d rather be using for a drink or a plate of food. With a 24-hour runtime and multiple speeds, it’s built to last an entire day of festival hopping.
And finally, a solid pair of comfortable shoes!
We love HOKA!
Finally, your feet will thank you for the Hoka Women’s Kawana 2. The World Showcase loop is over a mile around, and a full Food & Wine circuit easily adds up to several miles of walking as you track down every booth on your list. These cushioned, lightweight sneakers are built for exactly that kind of all-day distance, making them a smart pick if you want to stay comfortable from Mexico all the way around to Canada.
