The 2023 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival has officially kicked off, and we tried so many exciting new foods.
But, did you know there is more to the festival than Outdoor Kitchens? The festival is full of experiences like Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak scavenger hunt and the Eat to the Beat Concert Series. Some of the best experiences for the festival might go unnoticed if you don’t know where to look!
Over in the Germany Pavilion, there’s a little train village that is fun to check out no matter what time of year. But, during the Food and Wine Festival, the little townspeople go all out in celebration.

If you look closely (really closely, they’re tiny!), you’ll notice that light posts in the main square feature Food and Wine Festival banners!
Do they look familiar? Notice Colette and the Ratatouille imagery on the one on the right.
They’re a spitting image of the human-sized ones you’ll find around the park! How cute is that?
There are all kinds of details around the parks to look out for, so make sure to keep an eye out while enjoying all festival eats. Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak scavenger hunt is another fun way to spot these hidden details — and you can win a prize!
As always, stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney news.
