2025 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival overview
Posted: Wednesday August 5, 2026 3:38pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival has two scavenger hunts running this year — one for the full festival and one timed to Halloween season. Both cost $11.99 plus tax and reward you with a festival keepsake, even if you don't complete the hunt.

Remy's Ratatouille Hide & Squeak

Remy's Hide & Squeak runs for the entire festival, from August 27 through November 21, 2026, throughout World Showcase and the Global Marketplaces.

Here's how it works:

  1. Purchase a scavenger hunt map and sticker set for $11.99 plus tax — available at Disney Traders, Creations Shop, festival markets, and other select shops, while supplies last.
  2. Search for Remy statuettes hidden around World Showcase and the Global Marketplaces. Add a sticker to your map after each find.
  3. Bring your completed — or even incomplete — map to Disney Traders, Creations Shop, or World Traveler to claim a special prize.

It's a good way to cover more ground around World Showcase, particularly if you're visiting with kids. Maps and prizes are available while supplies last.

Pluto's Pumpkin Pursuit

Pluto's Pumpkin Pursuit is a limited-time Halloween scavenger hunt running from September 25 through November 2, 2026. Instead of hunting for Remy, you're tracking down Disney character-themed decorative pumpkins hidden around the park.

Here's how it works:

  1. Purchase a game board and sticker set for $11.99 plus tax at Creations Shop, Disney Traders, Gateway Gifts, World Traveler at International Gateway, or festival merchandise kiosks — while supplies last.
  2. Hunt for Disney-themed pumpkins around the festival and add the matching sticker to your game board after each discovery.
  3. Bring your game board — complete or not — to Creations Shop, Disney Traders, Gateway Gifts, or World Traveler to collect a spooky festival keepsake.

A few things to note: game board purchases are limited to five per guest, and each board earns one keepsake. The game board is valid for redemption through November 2, 2026, or while supplies last. Discounts may be available — ask at the time of purchase. Dates and details are subject to change without notice.

Planning Around Both Hunts

If you want to do both, visit between September 25 and November 2 — that's the window when Pluto's Pumpkin Pursuit and Remy's Hide & Squeak overlap. Outside that window, only Remy's hunt is available.

Both activities are separate purchases and run independently of each other.

Super interesting -- thanks for sharing! Any menu items you're excited about this year? Any insight as to why they discontinued the cooking demonstrations, celebrity chef appearances, and other special events for the F&W festival?

As a festivals cast member i want to share something unknown to the general public. Roughly 50% of the food for F&W is cooked during the summer and is frozen. F&W efforts have been well underway. The food is cooked in basement locations under The Land and Communicore Hall. Theres a standalone building behind Germany that's also used to cook the food. Management's office is located at Germany as well. For both merch and F&B. Germany is basically the "base" for epcot festivals

Wow… Why is the merch so incredibly bland? Just lettering…and some blocks of color. Very, very boring. The printed patterns with the characters are nice..but ….could be better used. Hmmm… Hard pass. -

Could be. Now they’ll have more incentive to be used! 😉

To be fair, I'm fairly certain they've sold similar trays for several years now.

And now they are selling a small food tray you can use, since they’re taking away trash can tops. “We’re brilliant!!!” - Management
