To attend the festival, all you really need is a ticket to get into EPCOT! Those with date-based tickets do not need to make park reservations. Everyone else, however, will need an EPCOT park reservation to enter the park.
Note that the World Showcase and the vast majority of food booths will not open until around 11AM ET.
Festival Passport
Everyone attending the Food & Wine Festival should pick up a Festival Passport, which is a free guide that includes everything you need to know about the festival.
2025 Festival Passport
You can find the Festival Passport in a variety of locations around EPCOT, including food booths. Use the Festival Passport to look up booth menus, festival merchandise, entertainment, and even a food scavenger hunt — aka Emile’s Fromage Montage (we’ll get to this soon!).

Emile’s Fromage Montage
Emile’s Fromage Montage is a scavenger hunt created especially for cheese lovers. Basically, Disney designates a list of qualifying cheese dishes that allow you to win a special prize!
This year, you need to purchase at least five out of a possible eight menu items, including both sweet and savory options. You can opt to try five different dishes or purchase five of the same!

Each time you make a purchase, all you have to do is collect a Festival Passport stamp from the Cast Member at the booth.

Once you collect all five stamps in your Festival Passport, visit Shimmering Sips for a free treat. This year, it’s a Key Lime and Vanilla Dole Whip with pie crumbles on top!

Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt
If you’re looking for a little non-food fun at the festival, Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt tasks guests with finding Remy statues hidden around EPCOT.

You can play the scavenger hunt on your own or purchase a gameboard for $11.99. Gameboards can be found at Port of Entry, Creations Shop, or World Traveler, and they come with a map and stickers.

As long as you’ve purchased a gameboard, you technically don’t have to complete the scavenger hunt to earn your prize! This year’s prize is a bento box! Choose from four different colors while supplies last.
