One of the best parts of EPCOT is the four festivals that rotate throughout the year. From the Festival of the Arts to Flower and Garden to Food and Wine and the Festival of the Holidays, EPCOT almost always has a festival happening.
We love these festivals, but there are three things EPCOT festivals need to bring them to the next level.
1. More tables
With all the food and drinks you want to try, you’ll want to sit down for a moment to fully enjoy your food. Unfortunately, there are not many tables and chairs to relax in. Some even turn to eating on top of trash cans to have some sort of table!
We love the new CommuniCore Hall, which has indoor tables and chairs to sit and cool down with our food, but we really wish there were more options around the World Showcase.
2. Better menus in the Italy and Morocco Pavilions
Yikes. Italy and Morocco are always at the bottom of our Best of the Fest lists, and honestly, that’s sad! We love their permanent restaurants like Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria and Spice Road Table, but festival booths have not been a favorite.
We would love for these booths to get all-new menus with some foods that we’re excited to eat! Instead of bringing back the same food every year (like Tangierine Cafe) or not updating the quality of the food (hello, Italy), a whole overhaul would be awesome for these booths.
3. A Food Pass
All the way over at Disneyland, there are festivals including the Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival, which offers this amazing Sip and Savor Pass. For around $63, you can purchase a lanyard with eight redeemable coupons for select food and beverage offerings (or grab four coupons for $32). It doesn’t include alcohol or souvenir items, but the ability to go from booth to booth without pulling out our wallets is awesome!
Since EPCOT festivals are usually a lot bigger, they could offer bigger passes or more tiers with a different number of redeemable coupons. Whether you’re going to the festival one day or multiple throughout the season, this convenience would make our EPCOT trips so much easier.
If we were in charge of EPCOT festivals, these are the changes we would make right away! At Disney Food Blog, we go to every festival to bring you the best details, so make sure you’re following us for the best festival experiences.

For the Food & Wine Festival.
Bring back the signature dinners & party for the senses!!!
They NEED to bring back the cooking & mixology demos as well as Party for The Senses. And the special dinners. Those were the things that made the Food & Wine Festival for me
