A scavenger hunt map and stickers can be purchased from select festival merchandise locations, including Pin Traders – Camera Center and Port of Entry or World Traveler at International Gateway.

During the festival, park-goers will be able to purchase limited-edition products, including items from the unexpectedly shortened Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. Plus, Taste of Epcot International Food & Wine 25^th Anniversary merchandise will be available soon after the festival begins.

The Taste of Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is open daily from 11 a.m. to park close. A valid admission and park reservation for the same date is required. Marketplace food and beverages require a separate purchase. Additional tables will be in place throughout the park so guests can remove their face coverings to enjoy the Taste of Epcot festival dishes while maintaining physical distance.
