How I’d Spend $100 at the 2026 EPCOT Festival of the Arts
The 2026 EPCOT Festival of the Arts began earlier this month in Disney World and will run until February 23rd! There are so many things to enjoy at the festival, from the food to the entertainment to the scavenger hunts.
The food might just be the star of the show, though! With so many options to choose from, it can be hard to decide what to spend your time, money, and stomach space on.

So, I’m here to help! I’m breaking down how I would spend $100 at the festival while still getting a wide variety of delicious food and drinks. Let’s go!
How I’d Spend $100 at the 2026 EPCOT Festival of the Arts
Let’s start things off at El Artista Hambriento in the Mexico Pavilion! I’d grab the new Chile Relleno Taco, which is a flour tortilla filled with seared beef tenderloin, poblano pepper, black beans, and salsa roja for $8.75.
This is the perfect little snack to have to begin a full day of eating!
If you’re already ready for a dessert (I am), I’d go over to The Deconstructed Dish near Test Track and get the new Deconstructed Key Lime Pie. This is Key lime curd, Key lime gelée, toasted meringue, and graham cracker crumbs with waffle cone triangles for $5.29.
It’s like a Key lime pie dip situation, and it’s also great to share!
For something a bit more substantial, I’m going to Pastoral Palate in the Germany Pavilion and getting the Red Wine-braised Beef Short Rib with parsnip purée, broccolini, baby tomatoes, and balsamic glaze for $8.79.
It’s time for a drink, so I’d also grab the A Play on Rosé Flight at this booth! It comes with the 3 Daughters Brewing Rosé Hard Cider, 81Bay Brewing Co. Rosé Blonde Ale, and Frozen Rosé for $13.50.
This is such a good mix of drinks, and they’re all delicious!
Over in the American Adventure Pavilion, I’d pick up the new Peppercorn-crusted Striploin at The Artist’s Table. It comes with grilled asparagus, potatoes au gratin, and au poivre butter for $9.29!
If you’re looking for a snack, pick up the Stone-baked Moroccan Bread for $5.25 at Tangierine Cafe. This comes with assorted dips that usually include some type of hummus and herbal dips that are super tasty.
Okay, we need another dessert! Let’s grab the Passion Fruit-filled Mango Cheesecake from Vibrante & Vívido, between the Morocco and France Pavilions.
This passion fruit-filled mango cheesecake comes with coconut-pineapple cake, dragon fruit gelée, and dragon fruit-strawberry sauce for $5.29. It’s the perfect fruity dessert that’s satisfying without being too heavy!
Next, it’s time for one of the best dishes at the festival — the Crème de Brie en Petit Pain from L’Art de la Cuisine Française. This is warm, creamy brie in a house-made bread bowl for $10.25. I mean, it’s hot cheese in a bread bowl, what more could you want?!
Over in the Canada Pavilion is one of my personal favorite dishes, the Wild Mushroom Risotto from Gourmet Landscapes. This comes with aged Parmesan, truffle shavings, and zinfandel reduction for $9.79, and it’s also plant-based!
You can’t go to Festival of the Arts without getting a grilled cheese from Pop Eats, so I’m getting the new Croque Monsieur-inspired Grilled Cheese here for $6.79! It’s Black Forest ham, Gruyère, and béchamel sauce served with tomato soup — YUM.
A sleeper hit at this festival might just be the Beef Wellington-inspired Croissant Supreme from The Craftsman’s Courtyard! It’s a creamed spinach croissant pinwheel with mushroom-gorgonzola ragoût, mustard-grilled flank steak, red wine sauce, and pickled mustard seeds for $8.49.
Finally, we have to end with dessert, duh. I’m getting the new Chapter 3: Tea Treat from Fictional Victuals! It’s a Twinings Earl Grey Tea Treat Chocolate Pot de Crème, lemon madeleine, rose and raspberry jam, and a tea biscuit crumble for $5.99. The perfect way to end your food journey!
So, if you get every single item I’ve listed above, your total will come to $97.47! Yep, you can get all of that food for less than $100, so you don’t have to blow your budget to enjoy this festival.
Stay tuned for more Disney World news and updates!
