As invited media, Disney provided WDWNT with a gift card for food and beverages for the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, so some of the following coverage was hosted. As always, WDWNT will still provide our honest thoughts on the below.
Back for another year at the 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine! For those not familiar with this activity, grab your festival passport and collect five stamps from the options available on the Wonderful Walk. Then present your completed Passport to Deco Delights- where a delightful (and tasty) prize awaits you!
In this review, we’ll cover all of the options available on the Walk so you know which ones are the best, and which are better to stay clear of. And, like usual, we’ll review the completer prize at the bottom!
*NEW* Enchanted Rose – $6.50
Opening Bites – CommuniCore Plaza
*NEW* Enchanted Rose – $6.50
Milk Chocolate Rose with Raspberry and Rose Center
This is decent overall, and the cookie base is the highlight. It’s essentially the same as the cookie base for the Grey Stuff (and its various festive versions) at Disneyland. Some may find the rose flavor off-putting, but we enjoyed it.

Deconstructed Key Lime Pie – $6.50
The Deconstructed Dish – World Discovery
Deconstructed Key Lime Pie – $6.50
Flexible Key Lime Curd, “Key Lime” Mousse, Graham Cracker Cake, and Meringues
This was top tier. A perfect balance of tartness and sweetness, and the presentation allows you to distribute ingredients as you wish. The cake is moist and flavorful, a highlight for us. You get a nice serving size, and it also takes a great photo.

Almond Frangipane Cake – $5
Deco Delights – Port of Entry
Almond Frangipane Cake – $5
Layered with Raspberry Jam and Belgian Chocolate
This used to be one of our favorite festival staples. It’s changed this year and is now dense and chewy. We can no longer recommend it.

*NEW* Avocado-Coconut Custard Tart – $5.25
Tangierine Café: Flavors of the Medina – Morocco Pavilion
*NEW* Avocado-Coconut Custard Tart (Plant-Based) – $5.25
with Pomegranate Cream and Henna-Inspired Gelée Veil


This was a surprise hit. The tart itself is buttery and rich, despite being a little mushy. The custard is smooth and packed full of flavor.

Chorizo and Potato Empanada – $6.75
Vibrante & Vívido: Encanto Cocina – between Morocco and France Pavilions
This is the best savory dish of the event. It is a massive portion, stuffed full of well-cooked potatoes and chorizo. The sauces add a spicy kick that is not too intense for any palate. An EPCOT snack that can be truly filling. Highly recommended.

*NEW* Citrus-Braised Beet Tartare – $5.50
Gourmet Landscapes – Canada Pavilion
*NEW* Citrus-Braised Beet Tartare (Plant-Based) – $5.50
with Golden Beet “Egg Yolk”, Mustard Vinaigrette, Pickled Mustard Seeds, Pickled Mushrooms, Spiced Pistachios, and “Feta” Snow
This is a great plant-based option. The beet is good and the “Feta” does taste like Feta. The bread is phenomenal and ties the whole dish together.

*NEW* Raspberry Pastry Tart – $5
Figment’s Inspiration Station at the Odyssey – The Odyssey
*NEW* Raspberry Pastry Tart – $5
Sugar Cookie with Raspberry and Lemon Cream Cheese Filling
This is a tart tart. It’s not bad, but just be warned that the raspberry and lemon are strong. The cookie is pretty good as a base.

Completer Prize
Deco Delights
Figment Crisped Rice Cereal Treat
Many of the previous completion prizes for the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine have included cute keepsake items that cannot be found anywhere else. We were a bit disappointed this year to be presented with just a Figment crisped rice treat.
This is a standard flavor, just like any other crispy rice item you may find in any Disney Park. The small sugar image of Figment is cute, but not enough to make it special.
Overall
With mostly all hits and just one major miss, this year’s Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine is a decent time at EPCOT during Festival of the Arts.
That being said, the completer prize is disappointing. It feels small compared to the amount of effort required to earn it. We only recommend completing the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine this year if you really need everything Figment or you happen to like the food regardless of the prize.
The 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts will be running from January 17 to February 24, 2025. Watch (or read) our review of all the new items available this year:
