Grab-N-Goof Epcot offers kid-style snacks like mac and cheese bites and pepperoni pizza ravioli as part of Cool Kid Summer. See if these GoofyCore treats are worth stopping by for.

Goofy has taken over CommuniCore Hall for Cool Kid Summer. As part of GoofyCore, the Epcot festival booth location near the Encanto show has been transformed into a Grab-N-Goof food and beverage booth. The food menu features a “kid-style” menu which includes:

• Mac and Cheese Bites with Ranch $5.50
• Pepperoni Pizza Ravioli with Parmesan Cheese and Marinara $6.00
• Cookies and Cream Ravioli Sandwich Cookie-crusted Chocolate Cream Raviolis topped with Chocolate Ganache and Vanilla Cream $5.50
• Goofy’s Gone Fishing – Blue Raspberry Lemonade with Strawberry Boba and choice of Swedish Fish or Gummy Sharks $6.50.

We decided to give the Mac and Cheese Bites a try, along with the Pepperoni Pizza Ravioli. We anticipated a simple snack that we could enjoy while spending some time typing in the Communicore Plaza area. Not to be negative, but we expected something you might find at Costco or a Sam’s Club. We enjoy warming up frozen appetizers. However, did these items, which potentially work similarly, bring that quality? How did it go?

Grab-N-Goof Epcot: Mac and Cheese Bites – $5.50

Guests receive five mac and cheese bites and a container of Ken’s Buttermilk Ranch Dressing. The issue with these Epcot snacks sounds a bit Shakespearean: To dip, or not to dip, that is the question. In the case of these bites, the ranch dressing overwhelms the mac and cheese flavor. The mac and cheese flavor inside the fried batter brings an adequate flavor. Most guests will be okay with it.

The key question still remains whether you should dip the bites in the ranch dressing or not. We were divided on this issue. As a result, we suspect you will be also.

Grab-N-Goof Epcot: Pepperoni Pizza Ravioli – $6.00

With this order, guests get five raviolis and a container of marinara sauce. The question of whether to dip or not to dip reigns supreme with these raviolis. The marinara sauce overwhelms the potential pepperoni flavor. However, the marinara sauce tasted better than we expected at this food booth, which targets kids or those with a childlike spirit.

The raviolis lack authentic pepperoni flavor. The sauce mixture inside is fine. The ravioli have a nice crispy outer shell. The interior is very soft. Still, the interior is more of a paste than we expected with this Pepperoni Pizza Ravioli.

Still, we all agreed that the marinara sauce brings a good flavor, but it overwhelms the ravioli. Additionally, one of our raviolis lacks a substantial amount of filling inside. As you might imagine, that one did not bring much enjoyment in terms of flavors and dining pleasure.

Grab-N-Goof at Epcot

Both snacks serve as just basic options for those looking for a quicker bite during their day at Epcot. They fulfill that purpose. Still, Epcot guests are used to better food options from this festival booth location.
This festival-style booth will remain open until approximately the time the 2025 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival begins in late August. Cool Kid Summer goes on all summer at Walt Disney World Resort.
