New Price Increase Hits EPCOT This Fall

One thing that seems fairly common with Disney is that price increases happen all throughout the year. Find out the newest price hike coming to EPCOT.

EPCOT Food & Wine Festival

EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival will run for 90 days, beginning August 28 through November 22, 2025. There is so much to see, eat, and do during this highly anticipated festival.

The 35 global marketplaces will include both kid-friendly and plant-based options, so there is something for everyone! Be sure to check out the full list of returning activities to enjoy at this festival HERE.

Disney released the first lineup of bands featured during the Eat to the Beat concert series. Check out the full listing HERE and see when you can book those dining packages.

EPCOT Scavenger Hunts

For every festival, Disney puts on a scavenger hunt. This is a great way to keep kids occupied and involved during a visit to Epcot.

After purchasing your Remy’s Ratatouille Hide and Squeak Scavenger Hunt map at Disney Traders or the Creations Shop, search throughout each World Showcase pavilion to “help” Remy find the ingredients he needs.

Once you find the ingredient, put the sticker on the pavilion where you found it! Hint: Usually, the ingredients are things you would find in that country.

New Price Increase

Each year, a prize is offered for completing the scavenger hunt such as a small cornhole board, insulated lunch bag, etc. The real joy is in simply completing the scavenger hunt. It makes sense that Disney place a price tag for this “extra” experience, but this new price hike is a bit much even for Disney standards.

The cost of EPCOT scavenger hunts has increased $4 since 2021.

Previously, the EPCOT scavenger hunts were priced at $7.99. This changed in 2021 to a new price of $9.99. Now, Disney announced that this price will increase to $11.99.

We assume that this will now be the regular price for all EPCOT scavenger hunts throughout the year. This is a pretty hefty price tag for families with multiple children hoping to enjoy the scavenger hunt.
