Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival Welcomes New Characters to Harvest Hollow. Harvest Hollow has been upgraded during the 2025 Epcot Food & Wine Festival with new characters. Welcome, Bear, Fox, and Squirrel, Owl, and Rabbit. Official names have not been given to them. 3 of them have a small story written on a storyboards that surround the Harvets Hollow area.
Harvest Hollow encompasses the entire area around the previously known as the Rose Walkway and features an autumn theme. There are three Global Marketplaces in Harvest Hollow: Forest & Field, Milled & Mulled, and Bramblewood Bites. While the playground concept isn’t new in this area, last year it was filled with standing tables and cornhole games for adults and kids.
The new playground is themed after the fall/autumn garden. There are tables made out of cut-down trees, surrounded by acorn chairs. There are logs to sit on, a tree stump, and a giant log for kids to climb on. The area is finished, and Disney has not officially released information on the new area.
Three of the new characters are associated with the three global marketplaces. Squirrel to Forest & Field, Bear to Milled & Mulled, and Fox to Bramblewood Bites.
This isn’t the only thing new for 2025 kids and parents can do together. Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit has returned, along with going on a scavenger hunt with Remy!
Squirrel loves to farm and gather. In the forest and the field. With every passing harvest, Greater grows his yield! At every country fair, He snatches up first prize. His ambition’s never-ending, as is his enterprise.
Our dear Bear is often found around the apple mill. But it’s her delightful baking, That’s garnering goodwill! Her favorite thing is mulling over brand new recipes with autumn fruits and flavors which she bakes and serves with glee!
In all of Harvest Hollow Who’s the most debonaire of chaps? Who dines on tasty dishes In between bis naps. He rarely shares bis bites, Even though he should For he is the best fed Fox In the Bramblewood!
