We have only visited Epcot during the F&W and Flower & Garden Festivals when they have all of the special food stands set up around the world. During non festival times are there still food/drink stands at the various countries? We are visiting in December and have one sit down meal booked (GG with the Candlelight Processional package) and I was hoping we could just snack around the world for our other meal...however I just realized that might not be an option. Thanks!

The food booths aren’t operating, but there are plenty of QS restaurants where you can get snack foods. And beverages. Mexico has a freestanding margarita bar outside the pyramid!

Thank you! Does the QS have mobile ordering? I honestly have never paid attention to what was a permanent option and what was a stand in the past because there were so many options!

Wait what about Festival of the Holidays? That's where we will be spending most of our time, "eating around the world": https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...ays-presented-by-adventhealth-opening-nov-26/

I think most if not all of the QS have mobile ordering. I don’t know about the margarita kiosk - hopefully someone will come along and say yes or no about that. BTW you can open your MDE app, click the teardrop at the bottom to bring up the map, and use the Filter on the top left to choose Epcot and the drop down at top middle to choose Dining. It will show all dining locations at Epcot, and you can then click on them to find out whether QS or TS, hours of operation, even menus.
 
The permanent options are the ones that are not actual food booths. And all of the counter service restaurants do mobile order right now. The easiest way to see what counter service restaurants they have is to go to the app and look it up. All Disney restaurants and menus are listed on the app or the website.
 
Festival of the Holidays will be going on during your trip, so no need to worry about booths not being there.

Came here to say this! Disney Food Blog has some great coverage (including pictures of all the food; they're gradually adding all the new stuff). We're arriving next week and have been poring over the menus and planning. My daughter gets unaccountably excited about turkey.

If your daughter likes turkey - be sure to get the Turkey Poutine at the Refreshment Port just outside Canada! It was delicious. Although I would get it without the cranberry on top.
 
It's been several years (pre Covid-2017), but we definitely took part in Festival of the Holidays and added the booth offerings to our drinking and eating around the world festivities during our Epcot days/time. There are also enough snacking and QS options during non-festival times to make this happen or help supplement your snacking during a festival.
 
As others have mentioned Festival of the Holidays will be happening but as far as other "booth like" but not QS locations outside or even during festivals. Here is what I can think of off the top of my head (take with a grain of salt I'm not young).

The margarita stand outside of Mexico, you can get drinks and a few food items.
There is a little tea stand outside of China, I don't remember if they offer food but I think they have eggrolls.
Beer cart in Norway, maybe bag chips?
Little food stand in the Africa section, they offer food and drinks and special food during festivals.
Beer cart outside of Germany has pretzels.
I can't think of any food offerings in Italy but they do have a wine store that offers tastings.
Morocco has a little walk up window in the outside shops, I know they offer drinks, not sure about food.
There is a little sake/wine stand in Japan and a little stand that offers kind of shaved ice, I think I remember getting edamame there.
France has a little stand that offers drinks and maybe ice cream?
England only has the fish place.
Canada has a popcorn cart that has different flavors of popcorn and a beer cart.
There are a few Joeffry's locations throughout the countries that always have sweet things, coffee and adult beverages. There is a refreshment port type place that always has poutine and french fries, etc. it has special offerings during festivals.
There is a funnel cake shop (maybe two) in the America section.
