Vegan Guide to the 2026 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
If you’re looking for an up-to-date and fully comprehensive guide to ALL of the vegan options at the NEW 2026 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, you’ve come to the right place! The 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival will run for 12 weeks – from August 27 through November 21, 2026.
UPDATE: 2026 VEGAN EPCOT FOOD AND WINE FESTIVAL MENUS and REVIEWS BELOW!
Right now, the official menus are out, so we’ve updated the list below with all the vegan options, so if you see some booths missing, that’s why – you can view the full list on Disney’s site. Bookmark this page, as we’ll be adding to it as soon as we try the 2026 vegan items.
A Note on Modifying Dishes:
I wanted to address the practice of modifying dishes at festivals (and restaurants). When I first took over VeganDisneyFood in 2021 (prior to becoming Vegan Parks Guide) and was a few years into being vegan, I thought the goal was to find as many “veganizable” options as possible and share them with the world so we could eat as MUCH as we could. That meant I essentially ended up supporting paying $9 for a corn tortilla with beans on it, just because it could be made vegan after removing meat, cheese, and other dairy. I do not personally support this anymore. If you choose to do that, you are obviously welcome to, but being a vegan at a theme park, to me, means supporting the vegan options in hopes that the chefs and powers that be see they are popular and desirable on their own. The chefs and management at Disney or Universal are not looking at receipts and thinking, “Wow, we had a ton of leftover pork at this booth, maybe people want less pork.” I want to support the vegan options and be vocal about which items are worth getting and which updated menu items miss the mark. Many folks here are eating vegan due to allergies or even health reasons, but I am a vegan for the animals, and that will always be what I support first and foremost. Thank you for understanding!
Impossible Foods Partnership:
The Impossible Foods partnership that Disney has enjoyed on both coasts seems to have ended. We once had multiple Impossible meat options at EPCOT’s festivals, including the fan favorite Impossible slider, which changed a couple of years ago from having wasabi cream to being a Montreal slider with cheese. Both sliders were extremely popular, as were the Impossible lumpia, the Impossible Korean ‘short rib’ and pretty much any Impossible creation for the festivals. We’ve also lost the Impossible sausage and Moussaka from the last two years.
It is obviously incredibly disappointing to have less options as well as options that appeal to both vegans and vegetarians, or even just those looking to eat less red meat. I know many vegans appreciate more whole food plant-based options, but I wish it didn’t have to be an ‘either or’ situation and that we could have both options. We’ve already gone from having an entire booth of plant-based options to slowly having less and less options, both during festivals and on regular menus. If anything we should be adding more Impossible options for vegetarians (which I acknowledge are more populous than vegans) and just have them as menu options. Impossible chicken tenders and an Impossible burger everywhere there is a regular burger or chicken tender option. A salad shouldn’t be the only option in 2026. /rant

Vegan Options at the 2026 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival
Below is the updated list of vegan menu options for 2026, with photos. We’ll update when the festival opens with more photos. NOTE: if a booth doesn’t have any vegan options, we don’t list it below. It looks like for 2026 we have 5 new savory items. The rest are returning items. We have lost the Impossible Slider, Impossible Sausage, Moussaka, and Buffalo tenders (though we have new tenders).

Plant-based Food Options at the 2026 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
World Celebration
Brew-Wing Lab
- NEW: Sweet Chile-Lime Plant-based Chicken Strips – $7.79 with Plant-based Cilantro Crema and Spicy Peppers NEW this year, replacing the popular Buffalo chicken tenders. I am excited to try these, but will miss the Buffalo option, especially after losing the Buffalo Brussels Sprouts last year too.
The new tenders are sweet and spicy, a fun new option. The sauce cools down the kick of spice coming from the tiny peppers that are full of fire. If you don’t like spice, I’d ask for it without the peppers on top!
Beverages:
- Frozen Pomegranate & Raspberry Tea – $5.19 Twinings Pomegranate & Raspberry Herbal Tea infused with orange ice cream molecules
We have re-confirmed it IS vegan with no dairy or other non-vegan ingredients. You can order this Frozen Fusion Tea AS IS!! It is super refreshing in the August heat! Just grab a spoon because the straw is useless! 😉
World Discovery
The Fry Basket (Near Test Track presented by Chevrolet)
- Adobo Yuca Fries – $5.79 with plant-based garlic-cilantro aïoli (Plant-based)
-
Fry Flight (modify) – $7.99 Sea Salt-Malt Vinegar Fries /
Truffle-Parmesan Fries with Black Garlic-Truffle Aioli/ Sweet Potato Casserole Fries with Cinnamon Sugar, Candied Pecans, and Marshmallow Cream
This year you can get the the Sweet Potato Casserole Fries are plant-based! Vegan as is, so we don’t have to remove the marshmallow. We do still have to switch out the Truffle Parmesan fries, so hopefully we won’t have any issues substituting the Sea Salt-Malt Vinegar or the Sweet Potato fries as our third option. I had no issues getting double sweet potato fries on opening day, and they were DELICIOUS. It was so fun to be able to eat the marshmallow fluff, a nice sweet option in the midst of all the savory hot dishes.
The Yuca fries are the real winner here, but I’m very happy they made the marshmallow plant-based (which technically wasn’t even vegetarian before with gelatin in the marshmallow).
We loved the Adobo Yuca Fries, and would definitely get these again. The garlic cilantro aioli tasted super dill-based last year (and I love dill!).
YucaFriesfor2026:
The sauce this year was very thick, and not very dill at all, it does mention cilantro, but it was mostly garlic flavored to me. Still a nice option.
Gyozas of the Galaxy
NEW: Edamame Dumplings – $5.29 Butternut Squash Purée, Caramelized Onions, Sage, and Walnut-Toasted Garlic Aillade (plant-based)
I actually really enjoyed these. I didn’t get much of the squash puree, so I’m not sure if that’s why it didn’t seem too ‘Thanksgiving-y’ to me. I really liked the dumplings on their own, and the topping of garlicky-onion and walnuts was a fun texture for me. I’d definitely give them a try and see what you think. As we all know, things can taste different day to day at the festivals!
Shimmering Sips hosted by CORKCICLE (Near Port of Entry)
- Strawberry Champagne Trifle (Plant-based) – $5.79
Forest & Field Menu
Location: Between World Showcase and Imagination! pavilion
- Spicy Black Bean-Mushroom Chili – $5.99 with Plant-based Sour Cream, Plant-based Cheddar, and Cornbread Croutons (plant-based)
Last year, we had chili in a bread bowl, which wasn’t the best, the bread was so dry and hard, it was kind of a waste of a bowl. This year, we get cornbread croutons and mushrooms added to the chili, and it notes it’s spicy, so I’m excited to see these changes. I really liked this new dish. The cornbread croutons are a fun addition, the chili does have a bit of a kick to it, and the cheese and sour cream is a perfect match to quell that spice.
Bramblewood Bites Menu
Brûléed Sweet Potatoes (possible modifiable option?) – $4.99 with Dried Cranberries, Walnut Streusel, and Orange Goat Cheese Not sure if the cheese is the only dairy item in this, so we’ll have to confirm. At $4.99, it’s not too pricey to modify, but since we have vegan sweet potato fries, might not be worth waiting in line for. 😉 *I did not get a chance to check on these on my first visit, I will try next visit and update with what I find.
World Showcase
China
- Dumplings Trio – $7.35 Assortment of
Pan-fried Chicken, Pork, andVegetable Dumplings with House-made Sweet-and-Spicy Sauce (30th Anniversary Legacy Item).
I am hoping that we will be able to request 3 vegetable dumplings, which should be vegan, as we’ve had them in the past. However, the sauce was never vegan and this sauce is new. We will confirm after festival opening. Since we have the Gyoza vegan as-is option, I’m not as concerned about being able to get this as it has always been overpriced. UPDATE: Yes, you are able to get the dumplings as all vegetable, which are vegan. The sauce contains dairy and egg, so if you do order this, be sure to ask for no sauce.
India (Near China)
- Potato and Pea Samosas – $5.49 with plant-based coriander-lime cream (Plant-based) Available October 2.
The coriander-lime cream is a great addition, but it makes it messy! It actually wasn’t super salty this year, and the dough was a bit dry, so I kind of wished I had MORE sauce this time around. But still a solid item, if you like samosas, you’ll like these. I rated them a 7/10 on opening day last year. Not sure why we have to wait til October for them this year…
Refreshment Outpost (between China and Germany)
- NEW: Sweet Potato Mealie Pap – $5.79 with a Stew of Beans, Peppers, Carrots, and Tomatoes (plant-based) (30th Anniversary Legacy Item)
- Watermelon and Pineapple Dole Whip or swirl – $6.29 listed as in a cone, so far the cones have been vegan, but we will confirm for 2026.
I LOVED this stew. The flavors and spices are a wonderful, hearty combination, very carrot-forward, and a kick of spice, with basically grits on top, a wonderful addition (I don’t remember when this was here before, but I love it now!).
Japan
Mango-Apple Fruit Pearl paired with Wasabi-Soy Sauce flavored Potato Chips – $10 I’m assuming this is vegan, but we will confirm after the festival opens. We also hope the Plant-based Steam Bun is still available in Japan, but it is not listed on the menu.We confirmed that the drink contains milk. I didn’t realize it had calpico in it, which is a milk-based soda. So this one is off the list for vegans.
Good news is, the Curry Bun is still available at the Kabuki Cafe (where they sell the Kaki Gori shaved ice), so we can still enjoy this option while at EPCOT.
Tangierine Café: Flavors of the Medina
- Fried Falafel Moroccan Wrap – $6.29 with tomato-cucumber relish and garlic sauce served on warm Moroccan flatbread
- Ras el Hanout Cauliflower Bowl – $6.49 with Chickpea Salad, Golden Raisin Relish, and Parsley served with Pita (plant-based) (30th Anniversary Legacy Item)
This was a nice addition, not as heavy and rich as the stew and chili, the cauliflower is full of cumin and tumeric spice, on a bed of hummus, with the chickpea salad on the bottom and the raisin relish adding a unique, sweet accent. I would definitely get this again. The pita is also nice and fluffy.
Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company Food & Wine Festival Menu:
Beverages: – All of these can be modified vegan by removing the whipped cream and removing any SAUCES – the dark chocolate sauce is vegan but all others are not. The syrups are all Monin brand and vegan, and these all use oat milk by default!
Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company® in World Discovery at EPCOT (Near Guardians of the Galaxy)
- Affogato di Marshmallow Cold Brew – $7.49 Joffrey’s™ Affogato-flavored Cold Brew Coffee with Toasted Marshmallow Syrup and Oat Milk topped with Whipped Cream and Graham Crackers
Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company® in Showcase Plaza at EPCOT, World Showcase (Near Disney Traders)
- Dolce Affogato Cold Brew – $7.49 Joffrey’s™ Affogato-flavored Cold Brew Coffee with Sugar Cane Syrup and Oat Milk topped with Whipped Cream and Rainbow Sugar Sprinkles

- Affogato alle Mandorle Cold Brew – $7.49 Joffrey’s™ Affogato-flavored Cold Brew Coffee with Almond Syrup and Oat Milk topped with Whipped Cream and Toffee Nut Sauce
- Notte di Caramello Cold Brew – $7.49 Joffrey’s™ Affogato-flavored Cold Brew Coffee with Caramel Syrup (this should be vegan as long as it’s the syrup and not sauce!) and Oat Milk topped with Whipped Cream and Cinnamon

Where did you see that the dark chocolate fondue is plant-based? The Disney site doesn’t have it marked plant-based, but they also don’t have a few other things marked plant-based that look like they would be… although this doesn’t look like it would be
It was originally listed BY Disney as plant-based, but they recently updated their menu page to remove it. This guide is now updated as well once we confirmed it with several chefs on opening day of the festival. It’s actually still listed as plant-based on Disney Food Blog as of me typing this, as we all have no option but to get our information directly from Disney. We don’t get updated when things change by Disney, so we have to confirm things on our own. DFB just isn’t concerned with vegan items, so they probably haven’t noticed and updated like we have. If you have any other questions, let me know, we’ve checked on everything at the festival and updated this post as of the 27th on opening day.
Thanks for the updates and guide. I’m excited for new drink options. I may be a little tipsy by India. I wish they would add vegan options to Mexico and China.
Aw thanks for reading! I wish they would too. In the past we’ve been able to modify but Mexico changed at the last couple of Festivals. I’ll be on the lookout for anything we might be able to get tho. 🙂
