Hi there, Heather!
Thanks for stopping by the Moms Panel with your great questions!
One of the most delicious Special Events that takes place in the fall at Walt Disney World is
Epcot's International Food and Wine Festival! This amazing event takes place annually in Epcot's World Showcase and highlights food and wine [and other beverages] from different locations around the world! There are also different demonstrations and seminars that take place throughout the entire event. It's a whole lot of yumminess! I like to read all of the up-to-the-minute information on DisneyFoodBlog.com where you'll find a page dedicated to the upcoming event.
You will love Disney's Deluxe Dining Plan, especially during this event! Each person in your party will have 2 snack credits per night and you will be able to use those credits for most of the items available at the Marketplace booths. You can make a meal out of 2 snacks sometimes as some of the items are an amazing value for a snack credit!
I hope this helps with your planning, Heather! Please let us know if we can answer any other questions you think of!
Have a Pixie Dusted vacation!
