The One Thing I’d Get at Every 2026 EPCOT Festival of the Arts Booth
The 2026 EPCOT Festival of the Arts is underway from now until February 23rd in Disney World! One of the main draws of this festival is definitely the food, and we can understand why — it’s delicious!
El Artista Hambriento spread
But, there is SO much food available, and it can be hard to decide what’s worth your time, money, and stomach space. So, I’ve made a list of the ONE item I’d get at every single booth at the festival. Let’s go!
The One Thing I’d Get at Every Festival of the Arts Booth
Opening Bites
Opening Bites is located in CommuniCore Plaza! Here, I’d get the Soft Shell Crab Slider for $7.49.
It’s green papaya slaw and mango ketchup on a sweet roll. This is a super unique and tasty dish, so it’s a great thing to grab at the festival!
The Deconstructed Dish
The Deconstructed Dish is over near Test Track and specializes in deconstructed food items. My item of choice over here is the new Deconstructed Key Lime Pie for $5.29!
This is Key lime curd, Key lime gelée, toasted meringue, and graham cracker crumbs with waffle cone triangles. It’s like a Key lime pie dip and it’s also on the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine!
Figment’s Inspiration Station at The Odyssey
Inside the Odyssey, you’ll find Figment’s Inspiration Station! My pick for this spot is the new Popcorn, Popcorn Chicken and Waffles with rainbow popcorn, popcorn chicken, mini mozzarella, and maple syrup for $6.79.
Popcorn, Popcorn Chicken & Waffles
It’s a colorful and fun dish that combines sweet and savory for the perfect balance! This one is also on the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine.
El Artista Hambriento
Over in the Mexico Pavilion is El Artista Hambriento! All of the items are delicious here, but if I had to choose only one, I’d get the new Chile Relleno Taco.
This is a flour tortilla filled with seared beef tenderloin, poblano pepper, black beans, and salsa roja for $8.75. The flavors just combine to make the perfect savory taco!
The Painted Panda
The Painted Panda is in the China Pavilion and is a great place to stop for a snack. I’d get the new General Tso’s Chicken Shumai for $10.75 here.

These are dumplings filled with chicken, asparagus, onion, and water chestnut, topped with General Tso’s sauce. If you’re a dumplings fan, this one is for you!
Pastoral Palate
In Germany is the Pastoral Palate, and it has some great options for both food and drinks! The food here is good, but if I could only get one thing, I’d get the A Play on Rosé Flight for $13.50.
This comes with the 3 Daughters Brewing Rosé Hard Cider, the 81Bay Brewing Co. Rosé Blonde Ale, and Frozen Rosé. All of these are absolutely delicious and refreshing, especially if you’re a rosé fan.
L’Arte di Mangiare
The Italy booth always struggles during EPCOT festivals, but they actually have a good item at this one — the Mozzarella Fritta! This is flash-fried breaded fresh mozzarella with artist palette condiments for $9.50.
It’s literally a giant thing of fried cheese with a bunch of dipping sauce options. How could you go wrong?
The Artist’s Table
The Artist’s Table is in the American Adventure Pavilion and has a bunch of new items this year! They all are pretty good, but I’d go for the new Peppercorn-crusted Striploin for $9.29.
This comes with grilled asparagus, potatoes au gratin, and au poivre butter. Just make sure your striploin is cooked to your preferred temperature!
Goshiki
Goshiki is in the Japan Pavilion and is a popular spot for this festival. Here, I’d get the returning fan favorite dish — the Sushi Donut for $8.75.
This is a doughnut-shaped sushi with salmon, tuna, shrimp, cucumber, and sesame seeds over a decorated plate of wasabi aïoli, sriracha aïoli, and eel sauce. If you’re a sushi lover, then you will love this one!
Tangierine Café: Flavors of the Medina
Tangierine Cafe in Morocco is technically a booth during the festivals, as it gets new beverages and desserts sometimes. I’d get the Hard Cider Flight here since it changes for every festival!
For Festival of the Arts, it comes with the Rekorderlig Strawberry-Lime Hard Cider, Keel Farms Blueberry Lavender Hard Cider, and Blake’s Hard Cider Co. Pomegranate Fizz Hard Cider.
Vibrante & Vívido: Encanto Cocina
On your way to France from Morocco, you will find Vibrante & Vívido: Encanto Cocina. This booth is themed to Encanto and the food is delicious!
Here, I’d get the Passion Fruit-filled Mango Cheesecake with coconut-pineapple cake, dragon fruit gelée, and dragon fruit-strawberry sauce for $5.29. It’s the perfect mix between a refreshing and rich dessert.
L’Art de la Cuisine Française
In the France Pavilion, you have L’Art de la Cuisine Française. This is home to one of the most popular dishes at the festival, the Crème de Brie en Petit Pain!
This is warm creamy brie in a house-made bread bowl for $10.25. Melted cheese inside a bread bowl? Yeah, it’s perfect.
Gourmet Landscapes
Gourmet Landscapes is in the Canada Pavilion and has some great dishes to choose from during this festival. But my favorite is the Wild Mushroom Risotto with aged Parmesan, truffle shavings, and zinfandel reduction for $9.79!
This is actually a plant-based dish, and it’s SO good. Like, I’ve gotten it twice in one day before, that’s how good it is.
Fictional Victuals
Fictional Victuals is an Alice in Wonderland-themed booth near Disney Traders! For this booth, I’d go with the new Chapter 2: Plate of Impossible Bites.
This is roasted turkey breast, onion and bacon custard tart, cherry gel, brown butter toast milk foam, and pineapple-toffee butter for $7.49. It might sound strange and unusual, but all of the elements actually work really well together!
Deco Delights
Deco Delights is near Port of Entry and only has one food item this year, along with a bunch of drinks. I’d go with the food item — the new Sparkling Spectacle Gâteau!
This is vanilla bean mousse with a golden caramel center and apricot jam on a hazelnut cookie for $5.99. This is also a dish on the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine.
Pop Eats
Pop Eats is located on the walkway between the front of the World Showcase and the Imagination! Pavilion. You have to get the new Croque Monsieur-inspired Grilled Cheese here!
It comes with Black Forest ham, Gruyère, and béchamel sauce served with tomato soup for $6.79. I’ll take an elevated grilled cheese any day!
The Craftsman’s Courtyard
Finally, we have The Craftsman’s Courtyard, which is also located on the walkway between the front of the World Showcase and the Imagination! Pavilion. At this booth, I’d get the Beef Wellington-inspired Croissant Supreme for $8.49!
It’s a creamed spinach croissant pinwheel with mushroom-gorgonzola ragoût, mustard-grilled flank steak, red wine sauce, and pickled mustard seeds. YUM.
Stay tuned for more Disney World news and updates!
