Parisian Breakfast Buffet Returns to Chefs de France for the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

The Parisian Breakfast buffet is coming back to Chefs de France at EPCOT, and if you caught it last year, you already know why this is worth planning around. The pre-paid breakfast experience returns on Fridays and Saturdays starting August 28, 2026, running during the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.

Booking details go live on July 16, 2026, so you have some time to plan, but not unlimited time once reservations open given how limited this experience runs.

Quick Summary

• The Parisian Breakfast buffet returns to Chefs de France starting August 28, 2026
• It runs Fridays and Saturdays only during the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
• Booking opens July 16, 2026
• The buffet includes French pastries, baguettes, cheeses, charcuterie, smoked salmon, and fresh fruit
• 2025 pricing was $64.95 per person with unlimited mimosas, juice, and coffee included
• 2026 pricing has not been announced yet

What’s on the Parisian Breakfast Menu

The buffet includes a spread of French breakfast staples:

• Assorted French pastries — buttery croissants, pain au chocolat, almond croissants, and more
• Freshly baked baguettes — served warm, ideal with creamy butter or French jams
• Cheeses and charcuterie — a selection of premium cheeses and artisanal cured meats
• Smoked salmon — delicate slices, great paired with fresh bread or a squeeze of lemon
• Fresh fruit — seasonal options to balance the richer dishes
• Beverages — your choice of drink included

How Much Does It Cost?

Pricing for 2026 hasn’t been announced yet. In 2025, the experience was $64.95 per person and included unlimited French champagne mimosas, along with fruit juices and freshly brewed coffee. Expect something similar this year, but check back on July 16 when booking opens for confirmed pricing.

How to Book the Parisian Breakfast Buffet

This is a limited-time, pre-paid experience. Booking opens July 16, 2026. Check the Chefs de France page on the Disney World dining site for reservation details once they go live.

The breakfast runs Fridays and Saturdays only, so availability will be limited. If last year’s pricing and the unlimited mimosa pairing carry over, expect this to book up fast among EPCOT Food & Wine Festival regulars.

Is the Parisian Breakfast Buffet Worth It?

If you’re already planning an EPCOT Food & Wine Festival trip and you love French pastries, cheese, and charcuterie, this buffet is an easy yes, especially with unlimited mimosas likely back on the menu. Pair it with an early morning at EPCOT before the festival booths get crowded, and you’ve got a strong start to the day.

Why This Buffet Sells Out Fast

Pre-paid, limited-day experiences like this one tend to move quickly once booking opens, especially when unlimited mimosas are part of the deal. Chefs de France already has a strong reputation at EPCOT, and pairing that with a festival-exclusive breakfast format on just two days a week creates real scarcity. If last year’s experience sold out the way similar EPCOT festival add-ons typically do, waiting even a few days after the July 16 booking date could mean missing out entirely.

Because this only runs Fridays and Saturdays, the total number of available dates across the whole festival run is relatively small. That’s a sharp contrast to something like the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, which runs nightly, and it’s part of why this buffet tends to generate more urgency among festival regulars.

What to Expect at Chefs de France Beyond Breakfast

If you can’t snag a Parisian Breakfast reservation, Chefs de France still operates its regular lunch and dinner menu throughout the festival, featuring French classics like French onion soup, escargot, and coq au vin. It’s worth keeping as a backup dinner option in the France Pavilion even if the breakfast buffet doesn’t work out for your dates.

Booking Tips for July 16

Set a reminder for the morning booking opens, since festival add-ons like this one tend to move fastest in the first few hours. Have your preferred dates ready, including a backup Friday or Saturday in case your first choice is already gone by the time you get through to book.

Cancellation policies for pre-paid festival experiences also tend to run stricter than standard dining reservations, so read the fine print closely when you book on July 16, especially around refund windows if your plans change closer to your August or September date.

Final Thoughts on the Parisian Breakfast Buffet’s Return

The Parisian Breakfast buffet at Chefs de France is one of the better pre-paid dining experiences during the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, and its return for 2026 gives you another reason to build a Friday or Saturday morning around the France Pavilion. Mark July 16 on your calendar for booking and pricing details.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
