This is it, one of my favorite days of the year. Today, we received news on new Global Marketplaces coming to the 2019 Epcot Food & Wine Festival and a look at all of the menus! Disney recently announced that the O, Canada film will close on August 1st, to make enhancements to the the film. However, Disney will temporarily transform the Circle-Vision theater during Food & Wine as a place where guests can enjoy some food with air conditioning. That's right, this will become a new destination to stop, relax and enjoy some good food, such as dishes from the new Appleseed Orchard Marketplace. This will be the first of two new food booths this year and offer a unique variety of craft brews, ciders, wines and lite bites. The booth will be located outside, just next to the entrance to Le Cellier. This means you'll also enjoy some great views of Victoria Gardens with your favorite drinks.
While there are a few food dishes to enjoy at the Appleseed Orchard, this will feature many beverages seen in the past at booths located inside the Festival Center. Due to the construction on the upcoming Play Pavilion, the Festival Center will relocate this year to the ShowPlace Pavilion, located in between the UK and Canada pavilions. All of your favorite ciders, craft beers and wines from last year's Festival Center will be located at the Appleseed Orchard to accommodate the big change for 2019. Shimmering Sips Mimosa Bar will be located inside this new Festival Center location and also feature dishes and drinks seen in previous years at the Almond Orchard.
The second new booth for 2019 will be The Alps Marketplace, where you can conjure a snow-capped setting while dipping into your dish of Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese with Baby Potatoes, Cornichons and Baguette, or Venison Stew with Crushed Potatoes paired with a refreshing Frozen Rosé. The Alps is expected to be located in Showcase Plaza at the front of World Showcase Lagoon. Sadly, this seems to be replacing the Greece booth this year. Today, we also received menus for all 30 Marketplace Booths for 2019. It appears that the Greece Marketplace Booth won't be the only thing missing for 2019, it looks like the popular Light Lab and New Zealand are not returning! This could be an indicator that more construction is expected to begin in Future World for the massive, multi-year overhaul that is about to take place. But, here's a complete list of the food!
