EPCOT Opens Concentrated Cheese Experience in CommuniCore Hall

Pairing hands-on museum-style displays with a temporary Global Marketplace, the activation reshapes festival programming by making cheese the focus of multiple guest experiences.

Overview

  • CommuniCore Hall’s Cheers to Cheese exhibit and The Wedge Hosted by Dairy Does More opened Friday, September 18 and will run through November 8 as part of EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival.
  • Cheers to Cheese offers interactive, educational displays that trace cheese history and production and let visitors build their own cheese plate with spinning pyramids and spin wheels.
  • The Wedge’s cheese-forward menu mixes new and legacy items including Crab and Corn Macaroni and Cheese, a Selection of Cheeses, a Wine & Cheese Pairing, and a Cannoli Milk Shake.
  • Early reviews praise the Crab and Corn Macaroni and Cheese for balanced flavor and noticeable crab while criticizing the Selection of Cheeses for an overpowering blue cheese and noting some wines tasted too dry or bitter.
  • All items at The Wedge qualify for Emile’s Fromage Montage cheese crawl and completing five stamps redeems a Key Lime Dole Whip in a souvenir cup at Shimmering Sips, a factor that may shape how guests schedule visits.
