We’ve got BIG NEWS about the 2024 !
It’s festival time!
This festival is one of the BIGGEST ones of the year, bringing tons of food booths, a concert series, and all kinds of themed entertainment to the park. Now, Disney has finally announced all of the FOOD that’ll be arriving at EPCOT for this year’s festival!
This year’s festival runs from August 29th through November 23rd, so you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy all that it has to offer. Don’t forget that EPCOT’s new festival areas — CommuniCore Hall and Plaza — opened on June 10th, so we’ll be interested to see just how they’re utilized as part of the event.
We’re also eager to check out the Eat to the Beat concert series, Remy’s Ratatouille Hide ‘n’ Squeak Scavenger Hunt, and, of course, the festival merchandise.
New Booths and Menu Items
This year, there are 5 new booths. That list includes:
- Macatizers
- Festival Favorites
- Bramblewood Bites
- Milled & Mulled
- Forest & Field
Some of these will be located in brand-new areas that were recently completed, including CommuniCore Hall and the open festival space between World Showcase and the Imagination Pavilion.
Festival Favorites will be located at CommuniCore Hall and will offer three food items — Kielbasa and Potato Pierogis, BBQ Pork Rinds served with pimento cheese, and a Key Lime Tart.
Festival Favorites!
Also in CommuniCore Hall, you’ll find Macatizers, the new iteration of a macaroni & cheese booth! The booth will serve Traditional Macaroni and Cheese with herbed panko, Cheesesteak Macaroni and Cheese, Truffle Macaroni and Cheese, and IMPOSSIBLE Chili Macaroni and Cheese.

Returning Favorites
Plenty of our ol’ reliables are returning to the festival this year as well!
We’re excited to see the Belgian Waffles returning to the Belgium Global Marketplace — they’ll have the ones with Berry Compote and the Warm Chocolate Ganache version! We LOVED these treats last year — the berries were divine, and the price was reasonable. We’ll have to wait and see if they’ve gotten more expensive in 2024.

A couple more returning favorites are the Apple Strudel with Vanilla Sauce at the Germany booth and the Dark Chocolate Fondueat the Alps booth. (Seriously, do NOT skip that fondue!)

Of course, we’re always hyped about the Canada booth, where we can find our beloved Cheddar Cheese and Bacon Soup and the delicious Filet Mignon. Yum!
