EPCOT's Food & Wine Booth Signs Are Up, Naming the Marketplace Lineup Nine Days Before the Festival Opens

Walk the EPCOT loop right now and the festival is quietly telling on itself. Signage has gone up on the Global Marketplace kiosks scattered around the park, photographed Tuesday morning, and those signs name the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival lineup nine days before the event opens.

Disney has not published that lineup. The official festival page still describes the Global Marketplaces only in the abstract, as "festival-exclusive kiosks serving cuisine inspired by countries and cultures around the world," and follows it with a single line: "Check back soon for more details!" The signs outside beat the website to it.

The festival runs August 27 to November 21, 2026, a window Disney confirmed back in April and still lists on its own page. Blog Mickey reported that the kiosks themselves started appearing in World Showcase and elsewhere in July, but that first wave arrived blank. By Tuesday morning the names were on.

A teal ribbon for the ones that have been there the whole time

Several signs carry a teal banner reading "Cheers to 30 Years!" marking three decades of the festival. On the Canada sign the banner sets 1996 and 2026 on either side of a large 30. WDW News Today saw it first on the Canada booth and reported noticing it "on booths that have been around for the full 30 years of the festival." Blog Mickey logged the ribbon on China, Italy, Canada and France, and WDW News Today added Mexico and Japan to that group.

On the country signs photographed so far, the marketplace's debut year prints in small type above the name. Canada reads INTRODUCED 1996. Australia reads INTRODUCED IN 1997 and carries no teal ribbon at all. Most signs finish with a cream "Coming Soon" corner decal edged in maroon, and that decal carries the opening date in small type: AUGUST 27th.

The system is not airtight. WDW News Today pointed out that the Brazil booth, sitting between France and Morocco, "has been around since the first year of the festival" but "does not have a 30 years decoration."

Every marketplace named so far

Blog Mickey counted signage on 24 Global Marketplace kiosks: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Bramblewood Bites, Brew-Wing Lab at the Odyssey, Canada, China, Coastal Eats, Flavors from Fire, Forest & Field, France, Germany, Greece, Gyozas of the Galaxy, Hops & Barley, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Milled & Mulled, Shimmering Sips, Spain, The Alps and The Fry Basket.

WDW News Today's walkthrough documented two more that list leaves out. There is a Hawai'i booth with a light blue sign, and the kiosk at The Land, over in World Nature, is now called Earth Eats. That one is a small oddity: WDW News Today found it "actually open, just without festival food," even though it still carries a "Coming Soon" decal. Add those two and at least 26 marketplaces now have their names up.

Where to find them

Shimmering Sips is near the entrance to World Showcase. World Discovery holds Coastal Eats, Gyozas of the Galaxy, whose name tips its Guardians of the Galaxy theme, and Flavors from Fire. The Fry Basket is outside Test Track, and Earth Eats is in World Nature at The Land.

Three Harvest Hollow booths line the rose walk that connects the Imagination! pavilion with World Showcase: Bramblewood Bites first, then Milled & Mulled next to the playground, then Forest & Field. Inside World Showcase, Hops & Barley is at The American Adventure, Brazil sits between France and Morocco, Belgium is beside the Morocco pavilion, and Greece is between Morocco and Japan.

The Muppets are back behind the wings

One sign is not a sign at all. The Odyssey pavilion is wearing decals instead: "Brew-Wing Lab at the Odyssey" across its windows and doors, and WDW News Today spotted a Muppet Labs logo on those doors, which it takes as confirmation that Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker are back to present the menu this year.

What is still missing

Names, yes. Food, no. Menus for the individual marketplaces have not been released, so the actual dishes and prices are still ahead of us. Back in April, Disney did name a couple of returning items: Emile's Fromage Montage is back, and so is the Remy's Ratatouille Hide & Squeak scavenger hunt. Blog Mickey says it plans to keep checking the kiosks as decor and menu boards appear over the next few weeks.

For now, the booths are in place, the signs are hung, and the windows in these photos are still shut. Nine days to go.
