Each year, Disney brings us new and exciting foods to try from all over the world at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. Every festival brings more opportunities to try plant-based options from around the world. The Epcot International Food & Wine Festival has several plant-based offerings to try out this year. But you’d better move fast; the festival ends on November 18, 2023. Visit each booth to find these one-of-a-kind, plant-based plates.

Located close to the area near Test Track is the World Discovery booth. There are two plant-based dishes in this location including the Yuca fries and the Fry Flight.
Adobo Yuca Fries
First is Adobo Yuca Fries with garlic cilantro aioli. These tasty fries cost $5.50. These fries were absolutely delicious. We will be trying them again.

Fry Flight
The second is the Fry Flight. It comes with three flavors of fries. The sea salt and malt vinegar fries are vegan as is. The BBQ fries can easily be plant-based by removing the bacon and aioli. Remove the candied pecans and marshmallows to make the sweet potato fries vegan. The maple glaze is vegan. This dish is $7.50. The sea salt and malt vinegar were our favorite.

India
Potato and Pea Samosas
Near China, you will find the India booth. Here, you can try the Potato and Pea Samosas with coriander-lime cream. This dish is $5.50. As people who don’t care much for cilantro, we were not a huge fan of the cream sauce, but the samosas were delicious.

Refreshment Outpost
Spicy Githeri
Coca-Cola hosts the Refreshment Outpost. You will find a Spicy Githeri with white beans, pigeon peas, Ben’s Original Quinoa & Ancient Grains Medley, and Kachumbari slaw here. This dish costs $5.00. Unlike the same dish they had at last year’s festival, this one was a little on the bland side.
Our take: 2 out of 5 Bumblebees
Watermelon & Pineapple Dole Whip
If you have ever visited Disney World, you have likely tasted their famous Dole Whip. At Refreshment Outpost, you can try a Watermelon flavor Dole Whip. Of course, you can always have the Pineapple Dole whip or have a swirl if you are indecisive or want the best of both worlds. This tasty treat will cost you $6.00.
Our take: 5 out of 5 Bumblebees

China
Dandan Noodles (*Modified Vegan)
At the China booth in the World Showcase, you can turn their Dandan Noodles into a vegan dish by removing the pork. While it was edible, we were not very impressed with this one since it was lacking in flavor, especially for the $8.25 price tag.
Our take: 2 out of 5 Bumblebees
Char & Chop
Impossible Spicy Sausage with Herbed Polenta (*Modified Vegan)
Visit the Char & Chop booth near Disney Traders for a Grilled Impossible Spicy Sausage with Herbed Polenta. While this feature is not vegan as it is served it can be easily modified vegan by asking them to remove the ricotta. This plate is $6.00.
