Hi Alexis!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question!
The
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is one of the most exciting and delicious events at Walt Disney World! Held annually from late summer through fall, this festival is a foodie’s dream come true - a celebration of flavors from around the world. For me, it’s a must-do each year.
I’m happy to tell you that yes, you can absolutely use
Disney Gift Cards at the food booths during the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! It’s a convenient way to pay for all those delicious snacks and drinks as you explore the festival.
You’ll find
Global Marketplaces scattered around EPCOT's World Showcase, offering bite-sized samples of unique dishes and drinks from across the globe. Whether you’re craving spicy Mexican street corn, Japanese sushi, or delicious French pastries, there’s something for every palate. Want to know what's on my must-try list? The Liquid Nitrogen Frozen Sweet Potato Mousse with Candied Pecans and Maple Caramel Sauce at Swirled Showcase!
The Food & Wine Festival goes beyond traditional park fare, offering seasonal dishes and flavors you won’t find anywhere else at Disney. The festival is a paradise for wine lovers, beer enthusiasts, and those who enjoy specialty cocktails. Sample local brews, international wines, and handcrafted cocktails that pair perfectly with your dishes, making the festival not just about food but also about checking out tasty new beverages.
Disney Gift Cards are accepted at all of the festival's food booths and kiosks, as well as at most dining and merchandise locations throughout EPCOT. During the festival, Disney also offers special wearable gift cards. These mini gift cards come with a wristband, making them super easy to carry around as you hop from booth to booth. You can pre-load them with as little as $15 and use them at any festival booth, making your experience even more convenient.
Did you know you can also enjoy live music with the
Eat to the Beat Concert Series? Held at the American Gardens Theatre, these concerts feature a lineup of well-known bands and artists. So not only are you enjoying amazing food, but you’re also rocking out to some incredible tunes!
It’s so nice to know you can easily swipe your Disney Gift Card and enjoy all the delicious offerings at the food booths! So grab a plate, get ready to explore the Food and Wine Festival, and don’t forget to save room for dessert!
