Walt Disney World has released the Global Marketplace menus for the 2022 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. This preview offers a full list and photos of new and returning savory snacks and decadent desserts, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Plus, our commentary about the new and returning dishes that have us most excited, and the balance of adventurous v. crowd-pleasing cuisine.

As a reminder, the 2022 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival at Walt Disney World runs from July 14 through November 19, 2022 for a grand total of 129 days. (See our Guide to the 2022 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival for everything you need to know, including savvy strategy for beating the crowds, saving money, and best enjoying the event.)

The Global Marketplaces will span six continents and be located throughout the World Showcase pavilions and spill into Future World, with the booths open most of each operating day. As previously announced, a handful of the Global Marketplaces will not debut at the start of the event on July 14, 2022. This is exactly what happened last year, with the event starting in summer but kicking into high gear on October 1 with the start of Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary. The phases are different this year, and not nearly as pronounced.

Although unrelated to the full list of Global Marketplace booths, Walt Disney World has also announced some of the entertainment and other offerings that’ll return for the 2022 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. Namely, the Eat to the Beat Concert Series (and dining packages for that) are back.

Cheese lovers will want to check out Emile’s Fromage Montage, where you can sample a variety of delicious cheeses served in inventive ways. Purchase any five cheese dishes listed in the Festival Passport and collect a stamp for each cheese dish purchased. Once you’ve collected all five stamps, bring the stamped Festival Passport to Shimmering Sips for a specialty souvenir.

In terms of commentary, you might recall that I admitted to being underwhelmed by the unambitious and unadventurous menus. In a nutshell, my disappointment was that virtually every new booth in the last few years has been comfort food—a trend that continues this year with the Fry Basket. This is supposed to be Walt Disney World’s flagship foodie event, and most new options in the last few years have been simple crowd-pleasers.

Now that we have the actual menus, I’ll admit to being more “whelmed” by some of the new items being served at the legacy food booths. In particular, I’m curious about the SPAM Musubi Nigiri (a potentially controversial change given how beloved the SPAM hash is among WDW fans) in Hawaii, Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese with various fruits in the Alps, Banh Mi Bao (another controversial move given what it replaces) at Flavors from Fire, and Takoyaki in Japan. 

I’m also happy to see the Maple Cheesecake returning, even if it is being relegated to Refreshment Port. Likewise, the entire menu for India sounds really promising, and there are a couple other booths that I’m hoping can bounce back after tepid years (here’s looking at you, France). 

All in all, the culinary lineup at the 2022 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival might just strike the right balance between crowd-pleasing and envelope-pushing. While I’d personally prefer a lot more of the latter, I’m also cognizant of the fact that this event is “more mainstream” than the other festivals. Even though it’s the one ostensibly dedicated to food, Walt Disney World still needs to be responsive to what actual guests actually want—this probably strikes the right balance. Either way, we can’t wait—there’s a lot that looks good, between now dishes and familiar favorites!

Saw some Blakes items among the beverages. They’re a Michigan orchard/business not far from where we live 🙂

Tom, I read your Food & Wine article several weeks back, and was so disheartened. Thank you for this update. I’ll be at WDW in September, and this selection of food looks wonderful! I still love the Aussie Lamb Chop, and Spain, Italy, Kenya (!!!), Brazil’s pork belly and India’s samosa’s….there’s a lot to look forward to.

All new Italy menu has to make you at least a little curious/hopeful?

Somewhere Josh is shaking his head. Never be fooled by the Italy booth. Never ever.

I am looking forward to the SPAM Nigiri. Sounds like what I make at home and want to see what they have put together. I’m Korean and am wondering if we will have a Korea kiosk. Some to the items look really good. I am going to make a list of where we plan to stop and try.

Thank you so much for the wonderful content! I wish I could go this year. What are you thoughts on the Italy booth, two different gnocchi dishes…

Menus really light on quality seafood as looks like the New England Lobster Roll missing. Also missing are the lovely scallops that I think used to be at Coastal Eats. Not a shock as the price of top shelf seafood is very high and probably should be expected after the crab legs disappeared from Cape May. But still those items were a highlight and gave good value for dollar.

not gonna lie- not going to the festival, but scrolled through just to look at photos

Same here, but after looking at the pictures and reading some of the items on the menu’s it makes me want to go pig out for a weekend…
