Guests heading to EPCOT for this year’s International Food & Wine Festival can once again book one of the event’s returning dining experiences, though they’ll be paying more than they did in 2025.

Reservations have officially opened for the Parisian Breakfast at Chefs de France, bringing back the limited-time buffet inside the France Pavilion for another year of the festival. After returning in 2025 following a long hiatus, the breakfast has quickly re-established itself as one of the event’s most in-demand reservations.

The breakfast will be available on Fridays and Saturdays beginning August 28, 2026. Reservations opened on July 16, with guests required to prepay when securing their booking.

Chefs de France, located in EPCOT’s World Showcase, is already one of the park’s best-known table-service restaurants, but during the festival, it offers guests the opportunity to enjoy a traditional French breakfast before spending the day exploring EPCOT’s seasonal offerings.

Visitors can expect a buffet featuring classic French pastries, including croissants, pain au chocolat, and almond croissants, along with freshly baked baguettes served with butter and French jams. The breakfast also includes cheeses, charcuterie, smoked salmon, fresh seasonal fruit, and beverages.

While the menu remains familiar, the price has gone up for 2026.

This year’s Parisian Breakfast costs $67.95 per adult, up from $64.95 during last year’s festival. The increase follows Disney’s broader trend of raising prices across a variety of dining and vacation experiences while maintaining premium offerings that continue to attract guests.

The breakfast returns as part of the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, which takes place from August 27 through November 21. Every year, the event transforms EPCOT into a celebration of international cuisine, with dozens of Global Marketplaces serving food and drinks inspired by destinations around the world. Guests can also enjoy culinary demonstrations, family-friendly entertainment, and the popular Eat to the Beat Concert Series, making Food & Wine one of Walt Disney World’s signature seasonal festivals.

Although many visitors spend their day sampling dishes from outdoor festival booths, Disney also offers several separately ticketed culinary experiences throughout the event. The Parisian Breakfast continues to stand out by giving guests a quieter start to the morning inside the France Pavilion before World Showcase becomes busier later in the day.

Because the experience is only offered on select Fridays and Saturdays throughout the festival, reservations are expected to fill quickly, as they have in previous years.

For guests hoping to pair a traditional French breakfast with one of Walt Disney World’s largest food celebrations, the Parisian Breakfast remains one of the festival’s signature experiences—even if the cost is a little higher this year.

When he’s not thinking about the Magic Kingdom, Thomas is usually reading a book, becoming desperately obsessed with fictional characters, or baking something delicious (his favorite is chocolate cake -- to bake and to eat). He's a dreamer and grew up on Mulan saving the world, Jim Hawkins soaring through the stars, and Padmé Amidala fighting a Nexu. At the Parks, he loves to ride Everest, stroll down Main Street with an overstuffed pin lanyard around his neck, and eat as many Mickey-shaped ice creams as possible. His favorite character is Han Solo (yes, he did shoot first), and his favorite TV show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer except when it's One Tree Hill. He loves sandy beach walks, forest hikes, and foodie days out in the Big City. Thomas lives in England, UK, with his fiancée, baby, and their dog, a Border Collie called Luna.
