EPCOT’s Meals & Wine Pageant is in full swing, approaching the one-month mark in its run from now by way of November 22, 2025. With this, Walt Disney World has lastly revealed what’s taking place with CommuniCore Corridor, the occasion house that’s been inexplicably closed because the conclusion on Cool Child Summer season. Effectively, partially revealed.
Walt Disney World has introduced that the Pageant Favorites World Market is debuting on the 2025 EPCOT Worldwide Meals & Wine Pageant, and shared the menu of returning fan-favorites to this location. This World Market wasn’t beforehand one of many delayed openings that was listed again when menus had been launched; as a substitute, the sales space is a shock opening on the identical day that it’s being unveiled (September 21, 2025).
Pageant Favorites replaces Seize-N-Goof, which was accessible for Cool Child Summer season as a part of the GoofyCore Corridor takeover of CommuniCore Corridor and within the weeks after the official kick-off of the 2025 EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant. It’s considered one of 3 cubicles to debut within the second wave of the occasion, with the brand-new Gyozas of the Galaxy (the one new sales space this 12 months) and Coastal Eats each opening on September 28, 2025 over by Take a look at Monitor and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.
Given this last-minute information, it wouldn’t shock us if Walt Disney World has yet another sales space but to open earlier than October 1, 2025. The opposite sales space could be inside CommuniCore Corridor, and would almost definitely be the “Macatizers” all mac & cheese sales space. I’m actually stunned that isn’t again already, on condition that it was one of the crucial in style World Marketplaces ultimately 12 months’s EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant.
Pageant Favorites isn’t model new neither is it a sales space, per se. It’s a everlasting quick-service meals & beverage window on the surface of CommuniCore Corridor, proper subsequent to the CommuniCore Plaza Stage. It’s one of many few “cubicles” that tends to function even throughout Weight-reduction plan EPCOT.
As astute readers will most likely already notice given the title, Pageant Favorites serves up fan-favorite menu gadgets from EPCOT Festivals over time. So principally, it’s sales space a brand new sales space and a returning one, within the sense that nothing right here is new–it’s completely dishes which have migrated over from different World Marketplaces, all of that are ‘extinct’ for the 2025 EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant.
This quick-service window is efficacious as a de facto secondary counter service restaurant servicing the entrance of the park. Connections Cafe & Eatery is perpetually slammed–even throughout competition season–and this turns into overflow for that.
That is considerably unhappy from my perspective, as I like Sunshine Seasons and would like to see that make extra of a comeback. (Sunshine Seasons has additionally been shockingly busy so far in the course of the 2025 EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant, however that’s one other subject for one more day.)
Right here’s the menu for the Pageant Favorites sales space on the 2025 EPCOT Worldwide Meals & Wine Pageant:
Meals Objects:
- Kielbasa and Potato Pierogis with caramelized onions and bitter cream
- Curry-spiced Fried Cheese with mango-curry ketchup
Drinks:

- Irish Milk Shake: Guinness Stout, Baileys Unique Irish Cream Liqueur, and Vanilla Ice Cream
- Katherine Goldschmidt Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley, CA
- Martin Ray Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast, CA
We haven’t frequented Pageant Favorites on the 2025 EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant, however since this is a bunch of returning dishes, listed here are our critiques of dishes from the Pageant Favorites World Market quick-service window final 12 months:
Kielbasa and Potato Pierogi with Caramelized Onions and Bitter Cream ($6) – This dish was beforehand accessible on the Poland World Market, which isn’t showing on the 2025 EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant. Really, it’s been a very long time because the Poland sales space final appeared–a few decade if reminiscence serves me appropriately.
The Kielbasa and Potato Pierogis had been fairly good! The sausage was superb, and the pierogis had been fairly good–thick wrappers that had been good and chewy. The caramelized onion and bitter cream introduced all of it residence, making for a wealthy and creamy indulgence with the proper medley of flavors and textures.
Actually, the Kielbasa and Potato Pierogis wouldn’t make my private record of ‘Pageant Favorites,’ however I can definitely see why others love them. They’re a pleasant consolation meals that’s satisfying and engaging. I additionally admire Disney bringing again one thing after such an extended absence. It provides me hope. It is a moderately good possibility if paying out of pocket, however not a lot on the Disney Eating Plan.
Curry-Spiced Crispy Cheese with Mango-Curry Ketchup ($5.25) – This strikes over from the India sales space, which nonetheless exists however “streamlined” its menu, which suggests decreasing the meals dishes to solely two. On the ‘Pageant Favorites’ menu, it replaces the BBQ Pork Rinds with Pimento Cheese that had been introduced again from the defunct Swanky Saucy Swine (RIP).
For many who are intimidated by Indian delicacies and would possibly discover it too unique, that is the right dish. The crispy paneer is actually mozzarella sticks or fried cheese curds, worldwide version.
The outside right here supplies a pleasant crunch and the paneer cheese beneath has nice texture and taste. We personally didn’t discover the mango-curry ketchup to be needed, however the taste is likewise wonderful. This might be a wonderful addition to make the Fry Basket extra attention-grabbing, releasing up a spot for a true Pageant Favourite. In any case, it’s adequate to suggest, simply pay out of pocket moderately than utilizing Disney Eating Plan credit.
Frozen S’mores ($5.25) – It is a Chocolate Milk Shake with marshmallow syrup topped with mini marshmallows and a graham cracker. This originates from the Desserts & Champagne sales space on the 2020 EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant, and was served final 12 months at Pageant Favorites.
All of us have our responsible pleasures, and that is mine. Look, there’s nothing particular in regards to the Frozen S’mores Shake. It’s precisely what you’d anticipate. However for no matter motive, I discovered it actually satisfying (that “motive” most likely being triple-digit looks like temperatures). It additionally labored effectively for me in approximating s’mores, proper right down to an ever-so-slight trace of campfire taste (that I presumably imagined since there’s nothing to recommend it truly had this).
In any case, I can’t provide any goal motive for loving the Frozen S’mores Shake, however I do–and I did prior to now, even when ordering it across the cooler holidays. Do with this data what you’ll. (Both manner, don’t use a DDP credit score on it.)
Irish Milk Shake ($13) – The fan-favorite Irish Milk Shake consists of Guinness Stout, Baileys Unique Irish Cream Liqueur, and Vanilla Ice Cream. It was beforehand discovered, as you’ll be able to most likely guess, on the Eire sales space. (Observe that the beloved Chocolate Pudding Cake has been migrated over to Flavors of America. Certain, why not.)
This web site would go bankrupt if we reviewed booze (see that value!) and I’d seemingly die of alcohol poisoning (or maybe extra seemingly, diabetes). Regardless, I had this picture from a number of years again and figured I’d embrace it. Additionally, it’s value acknowledging that that is most positively a fan-favorite drink. Folks completely adore it.
In the end, there’s nothing at this sales space that we’d think about our favorites of the competition. In truth, if all of these things had been misplaced to the sands of time, I most likely wouldn’t have thought twice about it. Don’t get me flawed, the stuff right here is generally fantastic…however ‘fantastic’ is a far cry from ‘favorites.’
Nonetheless, I can acknowledge that different Walt Disney World diehards have completely different tastes than me, and I also can admire what Disney is making an attempt to perform with this sales space. Even because the world’s greatest CommuniCore Corridor hater, I can admit that I like this idea and am glad it exists. I simply want it had been extra bold and stuffed with precise favorites.
On the the plus aspect, its existence leaves the door open for a few of my private, long-forgotten favorites to make a comeback. Disney, for those who’re listening, I’ll by no means say one other adverse phrase about CommuniCore if my beloved Pumpkin Mousse is introduced again!

We haven’t frequented Pageant Favorites on the 2025 EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant, however since this is a bunch of returning dishes, listed here are our critiques of dishes from the Pageant Favorites World Market quick-service window final 12 months:
Kielbasa and Potato Pierogi with Caramelized Onions and Bitter Cream ($6) – This dish was beforehand accessible on the Poland World Market, which isn’t showing on the 2025 EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant. Really, it’s been a very long time because the Poland sales space final appeared–a few decade if reminiscence serves me appropriately.
The Kielbasa and Potato Pierogis had been fairly good! The sausage was superb, and the pierogis had been fairly good–thick wrappers that had been good and chewy. The caramelized onion and bitter cream introduced all of it residence, making for a wealthy and creamy indulgence with the proper medley of flavors and textures.
Actually, the Kielbasa and Potato Pierogis wouldn’t make my private record of ‘Pageant Favorites,’ however I can definitely see why others love them. They’re a pleasant consolation meals that’s satisfying and engaging. I additionally admire Disney bringing again one thing after such an extended absence. It provides me hope. It is a moderately good possibility if paying out of pocket, however not a lot on the Disney Eating Plan.
Curry-Spiced Crispy Cheese with Mango-Curry Ketchup ($5.25) – This strikes over from the India sales space, which nonetheless exists however “streamlined” its menu, which suggests decreasing the meals dishes to solely two. On the ‘Pageant Favorites’ menu, it replaces the BBQ Pork Rinds with Pimento Cheese that had been introduced again from the defunct Swanky Saucy Swine (RIP).
For many who are intimidated by Indian delicacies and would possibly discover it too unique, that is the right dish. The crispy paneer is actually mozzarella sticks or fried cheese curds, worldwide version.
The outside right here supplies a pleasant crunch and the paneer cheese beneath has nice texture and taste. We personally didn’t discover the mango-curry ketchup to be needed, however the taste is likewise wonderful. This might be a wonderful addition to make the Fry Basket extra attention-grabbing, releasing up a spot for a true Pageant Favourite. In any case, it’s adequate to suggest, simply pay out of pocket moderately than utilizing Disney Eating Plan credit.
Frozen S’mores ($5.25) – It is a Chocolate Milk Shake with marshmallow syrup topped with mini marshmallows and a graham cracker. This originates from the Desserts & Champagne sales space on the 2020 EPCOT Meals & Wine Pageant, and was served final 12 months at Pageant Favorites.
All of us have our responsible pleasures, and that is mine. Look, there’s nothing particular in regards to the Frozen S’mores Shake. It’s precisely what you’d anticipate. However for no matter motive, I discovered it actually satisfying (that “motive” most likely being triple-digit looks like temperatures). It additionally labored effectively for me in approximating s’mores, proper right down to an ever-so-slight trace of campfire taste (that I presumably imagined since there’s nothing to recommend it truly had this).
In any case, I can’t provide any goal motive for loving the Frozen S’mores Shake, however I do–and I did prior to now, even when ordering it across the cooler holidays. Do with this data what you’ll. (Both manner, don’t use a DDP credit score on it.)
Irish Milk Shake ($13) – The fan-favorite Irish Milk Shake consists of Guinness Stout, Baileys Unique Irish Cream Liqueur, and Vanilla Ice Cream. It was beforehand discovered, as you’ll be able to most likely guess, on the Eire sales space. (Observe that the beloved Chocolate Pudding Cake has been migrated over to Flavors of America. Certain, why not.)
This web site would go bankrupt if we reviewed booze (see that value!) and I’d seemingly die of alcohol poisoning (or maybe extra seemingly, diabetes). Regardless, I had this picture from a number of years again and figured I’d embrace it. Additionally, it’s value acknowledging that that is most positively a fan-favorite drink. Folks completely adore it.
In the end, there’s nothing at this sales space that we’d think about our favorites of the competition. In truth, if all of these things had been misplaced to the sands of time, I most likely wouldn’t have thought twice about it. Don’t get me flawed, the stuff right here is generally fantastic…however ‘fantastic’ is a far cry from ‘favorites.’
Nonetheless, I can acknowledge that different Walt Disney World diehards have completely different tastes than me, and I also can admire what Disney is making an attempt to perform with this sales space. Even because the world’s greatest CommuniCore Corridor hater, I can admit that I like this idea and am glad it exists. I simply want it had been extra bold and stuffed with precise favorites.
On the the plus aspect, its existence leaves the door open for a few of my private, long-forgotten favorites to make a comeback. Disney, for those who’re listening, I’ll by no means say one other adverse phrase about CommuniCore if my beloved Pumpkin Mousse is introduced again!
