It's great to see you here today at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Ashley!
One of my favorite times of year to visit Walt Disney World Resort is in the fall when the
Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is in full swing. The weather is still really sunny and warm and I love strolling around World Showcase tasting all the incredible dishes that are only there for a limited time. You came here to ask your question at the perfect time because
some brand new Global Marketplaces coming to the festival this year were just announced a few days ago on the
Disney Parks Blog. I know that I'll be heading straight for that Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese with Baby Potatoes, Cornichons, and Baguette at The Alps Marketplace!
I'm so glad you said that you'd be using the
Disney Dining Plan while you're on vacation this fall because most dishes at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival can be purchased for a Snack credit. While you can use a Disney Dining Plan Quick-Service credit to purchase three Snack items at the same location, I recommend going to the
Front Desk of your
Walt Disney World Resort Hotel and have them convert those credits for you in advance so there's no need to worry if there aren't three things you want from the same place, or if one of the
Global Marketplaces isn't able to do it for some reason. That way your Snack credits are loaded onto your account ready to be used wherever you want.
I hope this answers your question, Ashley, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation!
