Sunshine Seasons: Dietary Request Counter Reported
Published October 13, 2026
Live now: Sunshine Seasons availability
Sunshine Seasons, the quick-service food court inside The Land pavilion at EPCOT, now has a counter set aside specifically for allergy and special dietary orders, according to reports published Tuesday, October 13, 2026. A screen above the station reads “Special Dietary Requests Order Here” alongside a green fork icon, marking it as the place to order rather than flagging an allergy at a general register.
As of Tuesday, October 13, 2026, the counter is reported to be in operation at Sunshine Seasons. Guests order at that station and explain their requests directly there.
The practical change is where the conversation happens. Instead of raising a dietary need in a general queue, guests with allergies or other restrictions have a single point of contact inside a food court that has long been one of EPCOT’s busiest quick-service rooms.
What we know
- Sunshine Seasons (The Land pavilion, EPCOT) — a counter dedicated to special dietary requests, including allergies, is reported to be open.
- The station is identified by an overhead screen reading “Special Dietary Requests Order Here” with a green fork logo.
- Guests place their order and discuss their requests at that counter.
What’s not confirmed
Disney has not announced the change or published details about it. No hours for the counter have been reported, no list of which allergens or dietary needs it covers, and nothing has been said about whether the setup is permanent or a test. There is also no word on whether other quick-service locations at EPCOT or the other parks will get the same station.
What it means for your trip
- If someone in your group eats allergy-friendly, Sunshine Seasons moves up your EPCOT lunch list — go straight to the dietary counter rather than waiting through a general line to ask a question. It is also fully air-conditioned seating, which makes it a better midday stop than an outdoor window on a hot day.
- Time it off-peak anyway. The food court draws a heavy 12:00–1:30 PM rush from Living with the Land and Soarin’ riders in the same pavilion; arriving before 11:30 AM or after 2:00 PM means a shorter wait at any counter, including this one.
- Build it around Soarin’. The Land pavilion puts your ride and your meal under one roof, so pairing a late-morning Soarin’ Lightning Lane with an 11:15 AM order cuts a walk and a line out of your day.
- Since no hours are published, have a backup in mind — Connections Café and Eatery or Regal Eagle Smokehouse both handle dietary requests at the register — in case the station isn’t staffed when you arrive.
