EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts is right around the corner, and that means that next week, there will be tons of new (and returning) special treats and offerings to grab in the park.
2022 “A Play on Rosé” Flight
Now that full menus have been released for this upcoming festival, we’ve already started making our “must-try” lists, especially since this festival is shorter than most. However, while we were doing so, we noticed something interesting — Disney is prone to price increases, sure, but there are some items on festival menus that have gone up as much as 22% in just the past YEAR!
It may not come as a surprise to you to find that all of these items are alcoholic, as alcohol certainly isn’t cheap, but some of these price increases? They’re more intense than we were expecting. Don’t worry, we’ve done all the math for you, so you don’t have to!
Figment’s Inspiration Station at The Odyssey
In 2025, both the Hard Cider Flight and Beer Flight each cost $10.25.
Figment’s Inspiration Station at The Odyssey Pavilion
In 2026? Both of these are now $12.75 each. That’s a 22% price increase in just one year!
Goshiki
In 2025, the Junmai Daiginjyo Sake Flight (made with Plum, yuzu, hyuganatsu, and sakuranbo Cherry) was new, and it cost guests $16.75.
Goshiki
In 2026, the Sake Flight is returning, this time with Peach, mango, and strawberry-flavored Nigori sake, but it’ll cost you $19.75. That’s a 16% increase in one year.
Opening Bites
In 2025, you could grab the Beer Flight at Opening Bites for $10.25.
Opening Bites Food Studio
This year, however, getting this Beer Flight has increased 22% as well, bringing it to $12.75.
Pastoral Palate
Finally, in 2025, you could grab the A Play on Rosé Flight for $11.50.
A Play on Rosé Flight
This year, the price has increased 16%, bringing it to $13.50. That’s a lot to pay for one flight, especially when you’re not sure if you’ll like it all. For reference, many other alcoholic drinks on the menus either stayed the same price as in 2025, or only increased by 50-75 cents. The flights are still cheaper than buying the drinks individually (even though those would be bigger pours), but it’s something to keep in mind as you budget for the festival. We’ll see if this happens again at the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, which kicks off on March 4th.

Do you think this is a way to curb the “Drunkfest” many festivals have become. I was hassled by a drunk last year about using a scooter and he got really up in my face. Maybe upping the prices will cause a bit less drinking. By the way, Disney security was there to help in a short time, but before they were it was VERY scary!.
