The 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is here, running from August 27 through November 21, and it comes with plenty of reasons to keep your camera ready. Alongside the tasty bites from the Global Marketplaces, Disney has rolled out 14 new PhotoPass photo ops across the park.
Each one leans into the festival’s food theme, and many pop up in more than one spot. Here is where to find every single one so you can plan your route and fill your album along the way.
Waiter Mickey Mouse
Mickey trades his usual look for a festival waiter outfit in this cheerful photo op. Because it appears in five different World Showcase pavilions, it is one of the simplest to catch as you stroll the promenade. Keep an eye out in China, France, Japan, Mexico, and Italy.
Giant Empanada
Head into the Mexico pavilion for a photo alongside an oversized empanada. This one puts the food front and center, making it a playful backdrop for a quick, fun shot during your visit.
Bunsen and Beaker
Muppets fans should make their way toward Journey Into Imagination With Figment. This photo op with Bunsen and Beaker sits by the water near the attraction, offering a character moment tucked away from the busier World Showcase pavilions.
Leaning Tower of Cheeza
This cheese-stacked take on a famous Italian landmark shows up in two spots. Look for it in the Italy pavilion, or near the entrance to World Showcase between Port of Entry and Disney Traders. Either location works well depending on your route.
Chef Figment
Figment dons a chef’s outfit for this photo op, and it turns up in more places than any other on the list. With five separate locations spread from the park entrance to World Showcase, this is an easy one to build your day around if Figment is a favorite in your group.
Swedish Chef
Another Muppets nod, the Swedish Chef photo op sits near the central planter in World Celebration. It makes a handy stop as you move between the front of the park and World Showcase.
Food and Wine Cheese Board
The Morocco pavilion hosts this cheese board photo op, tying right into the festival’s food focus. Look for it while you explore the pavilion and its shops.
Elemental
Fans of the Pixar film can find an Elemental-themed backdrop behind Spaceship Earth, along the pathway to CommuniCore Hall. It sits a little off the main World Showcase loop, so plan a short detour to catch it.
Festival Balloons
This bright, festival-branded balloon display appears in two spots. You will find it near the central planter in World Celebration and by the Disney Vacation Club kiosk as you head from World Celebration into World Showcase.
Ratatouille Cheese Board
Remy joins this cheese board display, which sits fittingly on the bridge between the United Kingdom and France pavilions. It is an easy stop to grab as you cross from one country to the next.
China Dish Prop
The China pavilion features a themed dish prop that blends right in with the festival’s food theme. Keep an eye out for it as you browse the pavilion.
Figment Passport
Keeping the Figment theme going, this passport-styled photo op is located near the entrance to World Showcase between Port of Entry and Disney Traders. It pairs nicely with the Chef Figment and Leaning Tower of Cheeza stops in the same area.
Frying Pan
This oversized frying pan photo op shows up in two locations. Find it behind Spaceship Earth on the pathway to CommuniCore Hall, or by the Disney Vacation Club kiosk as you head from World Celebration into World Showcase.
Japan Dish Prop
Rounding out the lineup, the Japan pavilion offers its own themed dish prop. Add it to your list as you make your way through this part of World Showcase.
Final Thoughts
With 14 photo ops stretched across World Celebration and World Showcase at EPCOT, the 2026 Food & Wine Festival gives you plenty of ways to capture the day. A few of them, including Chef Figment and Waiter Mickey Mouse, show up in several spots, so you can grab those almost anywhere your feet take you.
Gather your group, sketch out a path, and let Disney PhotoPass handle the memories while you enjoy the festival through November 21!
