EPCOT Adds Two New Food Booths for the 2026 Holiday Festival

Walt Disney World has announced major updates for the upcoming EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, highlighted by the introduction of two brand-new food booths. The seasonal event is scheduled to run from November 27 through December 30, 2026, and is included with standard park admission, unlike several other separately ticketed holiday events across the resort.

Among the primary additions is the Diwali Holiday Kitchen, situated on the walkway connecting World Showcase to the Imagination Pavilion. The booth introduces a completely new menu that incorporates two plant-based choices, alongside specialty items such as the Thandai Milkshake. Additionally, a second new venue named Season’s Eatings will open at CommuniCore Plaza, offering unique comfort food items like the Holly Jolly Banh Mi and the Black Forest Cake Imperial Stout.

Visitors planning to attend the festival can also experience the return of the annual Candlelight Processional, which features an orchestra, choir, and a lineup of celebrity narrators such as Gary Sinise, Whoopi Goldberg, and Neil Patrick Harris. The inclusion of the Diwali booth broadens the global culinary representation at the theme park, offering both traditional flavors and educational cultural experiences.

Before you go: The festival takes place from November 27 to December 30, 2026. Access to the event areas within World Showcase requires standard EPCOT admission, though menu items and dining packages are purchased separately and subject to availability.
