Hi Jennifer!
You definitely
should be excited!
The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival is a fantastic event to get plenty excited about!
With about 30 International food and beverage Marketplaces located around the park, celebrity chefs, culinary demonstrations and even wine seminars, it's truly a feast for the senses! In addition to the 11 World Showcase countries, guest nations also set up booths giving you a truly International sampling of some of the most interesting foods and wines from around the globe!
If you're staying at a Walt Disney World Resort and using a Disney Dining Plan, you can use Snack or Meal Credits at many of the kiosks and booths. Within the festival itself, there are also many special events, experiences and demonstrations which you can register for in advance. Spaces are limited and Online Booking is available via the link provided above. Also available for this special event is a festival-themed, mini Disney Gift Card. Pick one up and pre-load it to simplify your festival spending!
There's plenty of fun for the kids to enjoy while they journey around the world with you. Be sure to pick up 'Passports' for them at Mouse Gear upon arrival in the park, and they can collect stamps as they journey as well as visiting the Kidcot Fun Stop stations where they can create their very own collection of souvenirs. The newest feature at Epcot that is sure to delight your kids is Disney Phineas and Ferb: Agent P's World Showcase Adventure. These interactive missions themed from the popular Disney Channel show, will keep them on their toes!
Thanks for visiting the Moms Panel with your great question! I hope you'll write me back again soon!
Wishing you a simply Magical time at Walt Disney World Jennifer!
