Today at EPCOT, we spotted a photoshoot happening, not for a celebrity but for an ear headband. The headband has a chef’s hat with graphics of food items, leading us to believe they are capturing promotional merchandise photos and video for EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival 2026. 
Near Spaceship Earth at EPCOT, a group of Disney Cast Members was seen taking photos and video of the headband against the backdrop of the park’s iconic geodesic sphere.
A close-up of the ear headband shows a chef’s hat in the center with cartoon artwork of food items on the ears. Donald can also be seen on one of the ears, and Figment is on the other.
This was the headband for Food & Wine Festival 2025, which was part of the Chef Mickey Mouse Collection. It features the art of Donald on an empanada and Mickey riding a scooter across spaghetti on the ears, with a contrasting maroon headband and pink bow.
The 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival at Walt Disney World runs from August 27 through November 21, 2026
