Hi Ericka,
You must be so excited about your upcoming October vacation during the
Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. In fact, I think October is one of my favorite times of the year to visit the Walt Disney World Resort, due to both this Festival and because it is always a special treat to see the beautiful fall and Halloween decorations at
Magic Kingdom Park.
While many details of this year's Epcot International Food & Wine Festival have not yet been announced, including all of the mouth-watering menu line-ups at the wine and dine kiosks located throughout World Showcase, I am happy to confirm that in the past Guests have been able to redeem
Disney Dining Plan credits for some menu items. Unfortunately I am not able to verify at this time whether or not that will be possible this year, so be sure to keep watching for any updates on the
Epcot International Food & Wine Festival website as well as the
Disney Parks Blog, especially over the summer months leading up to the start of the Festival.
Another valuable source which I have regularly consulted is the Disney Food Blog, which has a whole section dedicated to the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. While this is not a Disney owned or endorsed website, I have personally found their information in the past to be very detailed and accurate regarding this event.
Bon Appétit!
Trish
