Each Walt Disney World Resort theme park has its own unique atmosphere and something that it is known for. EPCOT is known for its World Showcase, drinking around the world, and, of course, its festivals. Throughout the year, EPCOT has several festivals, including the International Festival of the Arts, the International Flower & Garden Festival, the International Festival of the Holidays, and the International Food & Wine Festival.
While each festival brings a ton of guests to the park and has its own amazing experiences, the most popular (and longest) festival is the International Food & Wine Festival. This year, the Food & Wine Festival will begin on August 28 and run through November 22.

This year, there will be a number of popular experiences returning to the Festival, including the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, Emile’s Fromage Montage, Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak, and Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit (returning for Halloween).
However, there will also be a brand-new dining option coming to Chef’s de France in the France pavilion at the World Showcase!
According to the Walt Disney World Resort website, beginning August 12, Chef’s de France will start offering an indulgent breakfast buffet! This is huge news, as the restaurant is typically only open for lunch and dinner.

The breakfast will also come with unlimited amounts of fruit juice and freshly brewed coffee, and guests who are 21 and over will also be able to enjoy unlimited mimosas with their breakfast!
It is important to note that this new breakfast buffet will be a pre-paid experience and will only run on Fridays and Saturdays for a limited time during the Food & Wine Festival.
No price has been listed yet for the breakfast, but according to Disney, more details will be released on August 12, and the breakfast buffet will officially open on September 5, 2025. The Disney World website does not state that reservations are required for this new dining experience, but as it is a limited-time offering, they are HIGHLY recommended.
