Disney has opened reservations for the Parisian Breakfast at Chefs de France, the festival-exclusive buffet held inside the France Pavilion during the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. Following its successful return in 2025 after years away, the breakfast is once again making its way back for this year's event.

Beginning August 28, guests can enjoy the breakfast every Friday and Saturday throughout the festival. Bookings became available on July 16, and reservations require full prepayment when made.

Set inside Chefs de France in World Showcase, the experience offers guests an early-morning visit to one of EPCOT's signature restaurants before crowds spread throughout the park. During the breakfast service, the restaurant serves a buffet inspired by a traditional Parisian café.

The menu features French favorites, including croissants, pain au chocolat, almond croissants, freshly baked baguettes with butter and French jams, as well as cheeses, charcuterie, smoked salmon, seasonal fruit, and beverages.

Guests returning from last year will notice one key change when making their reservation.

Disney has increased the adult price for the Parisian Breakfast to $67.95, compared with $64.95 in 2025. The higher price comes as Disney continues adjusting costs across many of its premium vacation experiences, including special dining events offered during seasonal festivals.

The breakfast is part of the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, which runs from August 27 through November 21. The annual event is among the resort's largest celebrations, filling World Showcase and other areas of EPCOT with Global Marketplaces serving dishes and beverages from around the world. Alongside the food booths, guests can experience cooking demonstrations, activities for families, and nightly performances during the Eat to the Beat Concert Series.

While the festival is widely known for its marketplace kiosks, exclusive dining events have become an increasingly popular way for guests to experience EPCOT's culinary offerings. The Parisian Breakfast provides a more relaxed alternative, allowing visitors to enjoy the France Pavilion before the park reaches its busiest period.

Availability is expected to remain limited throughout the festival since the experience is only scheduled for select Fridays and Saturdays. Previous years have seen reservations disappear quickly after becoming available.

Guests interested in adding a French-inspired breakfast to their Food & Wine Festival plans may want to reserve sooner rather than later, though they'll need to account for this year's price increase before taking their seat.

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.
