Some of EPCOT Food & Wine's fall dishes are getting a ton of hype this year — but are they actually worth your money?
We looked at what Disney food sites and vloggers are recommending at the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, then headed to EPCOT to spend our own money and try some of the most talked-about fall dishes for ourselves.
We're trying the Pumpkin-Mascarpone Ravioli, Pumpkin Pie Funnel Cake, Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse Trifle, Blackberry Buckle and the Spicy Black Bean Mushroom Chili.
For every dish, we're looking at what actually matters when you're spending your own money at EPCOT: taste, portion size, price and overall value.
Then we're giving each one a simple verdict:
BUY AGAIN
MAYBE
SKIP
Some of these dishes are getting serious attention, while others aren't getting nearly as much hype. We're not assuming the popular choices are the best — we're tasting them ourselves and letting the food decide.
If you're planning a Walt Disney World trip during the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, we hope this helps you decide which fall dishes deserve a spot in your Disney food budget.
Which EPCOT Food & Wine dish do YOU think is actually worth the hype? Let us know in the comments.
