We also know that the booths will have a phased opening, so not all of them will open on August 27th.
Emile’s Fromage Montage
One of the activities returning to the festival this year is Emile’s Fromage Montage, AKA the Cheese Crawl! This is where you pick up 5 cheese-focused items that are on a designated list, and once you do, you can get a free prize!
Just collect stamps in your festival passport for each eligible dish you try and you will earn a festival treat when you complete the mission.
Remy’s Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt
Another activity making a return to the festival is Remy’s Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt! Inspired by Ratatouille, this scavenger hunt lets you follow along with Remy as he hides throughout the World Showcase.

Keep an eye out for the little chef and see the ingredients he is collecting around the park! You just buy a themed map at EPCOT and use stickers to track your progress. Once completed, you will get a prize!
Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit
Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit will also be returning to EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival! This is a scavenger hunt where you purchase a map and search for hidden decorative pumpkins inspired by Disney characters throughout the park.

Eat to the Beat Concert Series
The live music is back for Food & Wine Festival! The Eat to the Beat Concert Series takes place at the America Gardens Theatre in the American Adventure Pavilion.
The lineup will be revealed at a later date, but it usually includes a great mix of artists! There are performances typically scheduled each day during the festival, and they’re included with your admission into the park.
There will also be concert series dining packages returning, which we will have details on at a later date. These dining packages allow you to get a meal at an EPCOT restaurant and a guaranteed seat at one of the Eat to the Beat concerts that same day.
Stay tuned for more Disney World news and updates!
