Global Marketplaces and Emile’s Fromage Montage
No EPCOT festival is complete without food booths- especially not the Food and Wine festival! Thirty Global Marketplaces and additional exclusive offerings will be available throughout EPCOT including five new booths, new menu items, and returning favorites. The five new Global Marketplaces include Macatizers and Festival Favorites at CommuniCore Hall, Bramblewood Bites, Milled & Mulled, and Forest & Field. Additionally, the Odyssey building will be transformed into the Brew-Wing Lab featuring Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker from Muppet Labs! For a full list of all the global marketplaces at Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival, check out our blog post with every menu, photos, and (coming soon) prices! We will also be trying as much food as we can throughout the festival and sharing food reviews on our YouTube channel and on the blog.
Emile’s Fromage Montage is back! First you’ll need to pick up a Festival Passport. Then visit Global Marketplace locations of your choosing and purchase a cheesy treat for a stamp in your passport. Once you receive five stamps, present your passport to receive a free specialty prize! For a list of Emile’s Fromage Montage offerings and more information, read more here!
