New Coastal Eats Booth Opens at EPCOT Food & Wine
Published October 2, 2026
A new festival marketplace called Coastal Eats has opened at the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, according to reports published Friday, October 2, 2026 — a little more than a month after the festival itself began. The booth’s menu reportedly includes a Crab Cake at $7.49, served with tropical fruit chutney, mustard sauce, and micro celery.
As of Friday, October 2, 2026, Coastal Eats is a late addition rather than part of the festival’s opening lineup, and Disney has not issued its own announcement about the booth.
Two dishes from the booth have been reported on so far, with the crab cake described in coverage as the stronger of the two. No other menu items, prices, or allergen details were included in the reporting available.
The booth’s location within the park, its operating hours, and whether it will stay open through the end of the festival were not specified in the coverage.
What we know
- Coastal Eats — a marketplace booth at the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, newly open as of reports on Friday, October 2, 2026
- Opened roughly one month after the festival started, not with the initial booth lineup
- Crab Cake — $7.49, with tropical fruit chutney, mustard sauce, and micro celery
- Two dishes from the booth have been publicly reviewed; the crab cake was called the better pick of the pair
What’s not confirmed
Disney has not confirmed the booth’s debut, its full menu, its placement in World Showcase or elsewhere on property, or how long it will operate. The second reviewed dish was not named in the coverage available, and no information was given about whether Coastal Eats items are eligible for a festival sampler or gift card promotion.
What it means for your trip
- If you built a Food & Wine eating plan before October, it’s now out of date. Late-adding booths don’t show up in the lists people made in August — recheck the current marketplace lineup in My Disney Experience before you commit your walking route.
- Treat the $7.49 crab cake as the safer order here until more of the menu is reviewed. One well-regarded item at a brand-new booth is a reason to stop, not a reason to plan your whole World Showcase lap around it.
- New booths tend to draw a line in their first days, especially from late afternoon onward. If you want it with minimal waiting, hit it in the first hour or two after park opening rather than during the evening drinking-around-the-world rush.
- Keep it flexible. A festival marketplace is a snack stop, not a reservation — don’t move a table-service booking to chase it. SupaPark’s crowd forecasts can tell you which EPCOT days are lighter if you have flexibility on when to go.
