EPCOT is serving a pink Mango Custard Mooncake at the China Global Marketplace for Moon Festival, Sept. 25 to Oct. 3, 2026. The snow skin treat is made with dragon fruit and filled with mango custard.
EPCOT’s newest snack is bright pink, filled with mango and gone in nine days.
The Mango Custard Mooncake shows up at the China Global Marketplace in World Showcase on Friday, Sept. 25, and sticks around through Saturday, Oct. 3. It’s there to celebrate the Moon Festival.
WDW News Today reported the treat Tuesday. Disney hasn’t posted a price yet.
What is EPCOT’s Mango Custard Mooncake?
It’s a snow skin mooncake, which is different from the heavy, baked kind a lot of people picture.
Snow skin mooncakes have a soft, chewy outside made from glutinous rice flour, and they’re served cold. In Chinese they’re called “bingpi yuebing,” which roughly means “ice skin mooncake.”
EPCOT’s version gets its hot-pink color from dragon fruit in the skin. Inside is mango custard. It’s pressed with a flower design on top and served with a sprig of fresh mint, per WDWInfo.
It’s going to look great in photos. That’s basically a given.
When is the Moon Festival in 2026?
It falls on Friday, Sept. 25, the same day the mooncake arrives.
The Moon Festival is also called the Mid-Autumn Festival, or “Zhongqiu Jie” in Mandarin. It lands on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, when the moon is full.
Families get together, look at the moon and share mooncakes. Round cakes for a round moon. The festival is celebrated across China and in many other parts of Asia, including Vietnam, Korea and Singapore.
Where can you get the mooncake at EPCOT?
At the China Global Marketplace, the China booth for the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. It’s in World Showcase near the China pavilion.
The mooncake joins the booth’s regular festival menu, which includes:
Dumplings Trio, $7.35
Smoked Duck Bao Bun, $8.25
Beijing Zhajiang Noodles, $8.50
Mango-Peach Bubble Tea, $7.95
So if you’re really into mango, you could make a whole thing of it.
What’s inside a traditional mooncake?
Usually something dense and sweet. The classic baked mooncake has a golden crust and a filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste. Many have a salted egg yolk in the middle, which is meant to look like the full moon.
They’re rich, and people tend to cut them into small wedges to share. A lot of families give boxes of them as gifts in the weeks before the festival.
The holiday also comes with a legend. Chang’e, the moon goddess, is said to live on the moon with a jade rabbit. That’s why you’ll see rabbits all over Moon Festival decorations.
Has EPCOT sold a mooncake before?
Yes. In 2024, the China booth sold a Snowy Mooncake for Moon Festival. That one used butterfly pea flower in the skin and had a creamy custard filling. It cost $8.25, per AllEars.
Reviews were mixed. AllEars called it “alright, but not worth the price” and said it was mostly a treat for the photo.
The mango flavor is a new try, and mango custard has a lot more going for it than plain vanilla. We’ll see if it lands better.
How long is EPCOT Food & Wine Festival 2026?
The festival runs Aug. 27 through Nov. 21. That’s 87 days, and it’s the festival’s 30th anniversary year.
So there’s plenty of time left for the dumplings and noodles. The mooncake is the one with a clock on it. If you’re headed to EPCOT in the next couple of weeks, put the China booth on the list between Sept. 25 and Oct. 3. After that, it’s gone until someone at Disney decides to bring it back.
