Wait 5 sec.

Guests planning a visit to this year’s EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival have another popular dining experience to add to their itinerary, though they’ll need to budget a little more than they did last year.Credit: Erica Lauren, Inside the MagicReservations are now open for the returning Parisian Breakfast at Chefs de France, the limited-time buffet experience offered inside the France Pavilion during EPCOT’s annual celebration of global cuisine. The breakfast has become one of the festival’s most sought-after offerings since making its return in 2025 after a lengthy absence, and Disney is once again bringing it back for the 2026 event.The Parisian Breakfast will be available on Fridays and Saturdays beginning August 28, 2026, giving guests the chance to start their day with a traditional French-inspired meal before exploring everything the Food & Wine Festival has to offer. Reservations opened on July 16, and, as in previous years, the experience requires prepayment at the time of booking.Located in EPCOT’s World Showcase, Chefs de France has long been one of the park’s signature table-service restaurants. The breakfast experience transforms the restaurant into a classic Parisian café, offering guests a relaxed start to the morning before the park becomes increasingly busy.Credit: Erica Lauren, Inside the MagicThe buffet menu includes an assortment of authentic French pastries, including croissants, pain au chocolat, and almond croissants, alongside freshly baked baguettes served with butter and French jams. Guests can also enjoy a selection of cheeses and charcuterie, smoked salmon, fresh seasonal fruit, and beverages as part of the meal.While the menu remains largely unchanged, guests will notice one significant difference this year: the price has increased.The 2026 Parisian Breakfast is priced at $67.95 per adult, representing an increase over last year’s $64.95 offering. While Disney has steadily raised prices across many experiences in recent years, the higher cost reflects the continued popularity of this premium festival-exclusive event.The return of the breakfast also coincides with the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, which runs from August 27 through November 21. Widely regarded as one of Walt Disney World’s most popular annual events, the festival transforms EPCOT with dozens of Global Marketplaces serving food and beverages inspired by countries around the world, alongside culinary demonstrations, family activities, and the nightly Eat to the Beat Concert Series.Credit: Inside the MagicAlthough many guests visit the festival to sample the rotating food booths around World Showcase, Disney also offers several premium dining experiences throughout the event. The Parisian Breakfast has become one of those standout offerings, providing a more leisurely and intimate way to experience the France Pavilion before the lunchtime crowds arrive.Demand is expected to be high once again, particularly as the breakfast is only offered on select Fridays and Saturdays throughout the festival. Guests hoping to secure a reservation are encouraged to book as early as possible, as availability has historically been limited.For those looking to combine a classic French breakfast with one of Walt Disney World’s biggest culinary celebrations, the returning Parisian Breakfast remains one of the most distinctive experiences available during the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival—even if it now comes with a slightly steeper price tag.How are you experiencing this year’s Food & Wine festival at Disney World?
