Festival Favorites has returned to the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival for 2026, and once again you’ll find some favorite menu items from past festivals!
2026 Booth
The 2026 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has officially opened, and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, merchandise items to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you: we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to one of the late-opening booths this year — Festival Favorites!
Menu
Festival Favorites has a menu full of favorites, and this year they’re also all ’30th anniversary legacy items’!
On the food menu you’ll find Potato Pierogi, Bo Ssam Pork Belly Lettuce Wraps, and Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse Trifle.
And if you’re looking for some favorite beverages, you can check out a Frozen S’mores, the NEW Frozen Apple Blossom, and three different beers (along with a beer flight if you want to check them all out).
2026 Menu
Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!
Eats
First on the menu is the Potato Pierogi with Kielbasa, Caramelized Onions, and Sour Cream for $5.99. We have been big fans of this item for years (we even tried to make them at home!). This dish used to be at the Poland Booth back in the day, and last year we really enjoyed the dish! This year, the pierogies have a nice, chewy texture with an exterior that’s similar to ravioli. But…they were really dry. You do get plenty of potato filling, but it’s stiff. We think maybe some butter would have improved this and brought the flavors out better.
Potato Pierogi
We couldn’t really taste the sour cream, but the caramelized onions were nice, and we even used it as a dip for the pierogies. We wish there were more. The kielbasa was very tough. This might be because it sat for a while before we ate it, but still… It also wasn’t very flavorful.
So dry
Next up, we checked out the Bo Ssam Pork Belly Lettuce Wraps with Bo Ssam Pork Belly, Kimchi Slaw, and Spicy Aïoli for $6.19. This is also a 30th anniversary legacy item and first debuted in 2010 at the South Korea booth! First, the textures are so good. You get crunch from the slaw, chewiness from the pork belly, and a fresh bite from the lettuce. The pork belly is also seasoned very well and cooked beautifully. The flavor comes through with a lingering heat.
Bo Ssam Pork Belly Lettuce Wraps
The kimchi adds some additional spiciness, as well as crunch, while the spicy aioli just pulls the entire dish together. Everything complements everything else. But let’s talk about the lettuce…it’s really thin, so it’s nearly impossible to really hold this as a wrap without it all falling apart.
SO flavorful
The final food item is the Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse Trifle featuring PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese with Citrus Sauce and Spice Cake topped with Cranberry Streusel for $5.29. This dish is reimagined for 2026 as a 30th anniversary legacy item, and was first served in 2011 at Hops & Barley as Pumpkin Mousse with Ocean Spray Craisins and Orange Sauce. The spice cake is moist, but overall, the main flavor we got was from the cream cheese. We didn’t really taste the pumpkin at all.
Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse Trifle
We did appreciate the cranberry streusel, which adds a nice sweetness and crunch. Again, we wish there were more, though! When we mixed everything, this tasted more like a citrus pudding mixed with spice cake. If you’re looking for something more pumpkiny, we’d suggest skipping this dessert.
Drinks
Returning to Festival Favorites again this year is the Frozen S’mores – a Chocolate Milk Shake with Marshmallow Syrup topped with Mini Marshmallows, Chocolate Shavings, and a Graham Cracker for $5.29. This drink is originally from the Desserts & Champagne booth in 2013. Last year, we said this was a basic chocolate shake but fun for the kids. This year, we thought it almost had an iced mocha flavor, and we really appreciated the generous amount of chocolate shavings and marshmallows.
Frozen S’mores
That all makes for a great combination with classic flavors that nearly everyone loves. However, this DOES melt quickly, so it’s more like chocolate milk by the time you get to the last sip, but it’s still tasty. This is a drink we think we’ll be 100% kid-approved.
Kids will love it
New at Festival Favorites in 2026 is the Frozen Apple Blossom made with Apple Cider, Seagram’s Ginger Ale, Hartley Apple VSOP Brandy, Mini Marshmallows, and Maple Syrup for $16.50. Y’all…this is dangerous. First, it’s so tasty that even the bees were trying to get to it (yep, the festival bees have returned). It’s one of those drinks where you can’t just stop at one sip (just drink it indoors so the bees aren’t diving into it).
Frozen Apple Blossom
This drink has a sweet and subtle alcohol flavor, with the most forward flavor being the apple, followed by the maple syrup. However, it all blends so well for that whole apple cider vibe. We didn’t think the mini marshmallows were necessary, but we still enjoyed them. This one melts quickly, too, but then it’s just like apple cider, so it’s still good. If you love apple cider, this should be on your festival “must-drink” list.
So tasty
Festival Favorites is also serving up three beers this year:
Schöfferhofer Grapefruit Hefeweizen, Mainz, Germany
Parish Brewing Co. SIPS Cabernet Franc Strawberry Berliner Weisse, Broussard, LA
3 Daughters Brewing Beach Blonde Ale, St. Petersburg, FL
And you can sample all three in a beer flight for $12.75.
OVERALL
Overall, we weren’t too impressed with the food items at the Festival Favorites booth this year, especially as there are far better foods at other festival booths to choose from. For a booth with “Favorites” in its name, though, we think Disney might be confused about the defiinition of “favorites.” However, we would 100% come back for both frozen drinks, so there’s that.
Full spread
That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
