As one of the 11 World Showcase countries, Canada has been a part of the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival since its inception in 1996. This year’s 2018 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival takes place August 30 – November 12, 2018.

Surprisingly enough the cheddar cheese soup didn’t increase in price this year. I guess $5 is the breaking point of what people are willing to pay, but we would be very happy to pay more for a larger portion (which you can do at the Refreshment Port on a normal day). As it stands you get a half-full cup of the cheesiest and best soup ever created and a warm pretzel roll to dip. We can’t justify the price for the portion, even if it is continually one of the best tasting items at Food & Wine. If you’ve never indulged, you should really give it a shot. You won’t regret it.

The ever-popular Le Cellier mushroom Beef Filet Mignon is available once again this year. There’s an amazing truffle-butter sauce on top with some mushrooms that make this dish absolutely stellar. There’s a major gamble when ordering the beef filet from Canada though: The cut. We’ve ordered it numerous times where you get not only a small portion but one with a lot of fat, whereas other times we get a large portion that’s virtually no fat whatsoever. It’s worth the gamble, especially if you have Disney Dining Plan snack credits to burn.
