EPCOT’s Cheers to Cheese exhibit and The Wedge marketplace have closed in CommuniCore Hall, even as the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival continues through Nov. 21.
Cheers to Cheese, an interactive cheese-themed experience, operated from Sept. 18 through Nov. 8. Disney had previously announced the limited run, according to Inside the Magic, so the Nov. 8 closure was not an unannounced cancellation.
Inside CommuniCore Hall, the exhibit included displays about cheese production and history, trivia, pairing information and a daily favorite-cheese vote. The nearby Wedge marketplace, hosted by Dairy Does More, followed the same schedule and served cheese-focused festival items, including Three Cheese Macaroni and Cheese.
The closure leaves fewer festival offerings during Food & Wine’s final stretch. Cheese fans can still take part in Emile’s Fromage Montage, a food crawl that requires five qualifying cheese dishes and passport stamps; participants can claim a completion treat at Shimmering Sips after collecting all five stamps.

EPCOT’s next seasonal event, the International Festival of the Holidays, is scheduled to begin Nov. 27. Disney has not confirmed a specific reason for removing Cheers to Cheese before Food & Wine ends, nor has it announced whether the exhibit will return for a future festival.
