Hello Christine, and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Come along on a culinary tour of the world as we chat about this popular event at Epcot!
I absolutely adore the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. I'm usually found near the Canada kiosk, dipping my spoon into the velvety Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup. So yummy!
The Festival itself is included in your regular Epcot admission price, but you will pay extra to sample the wares at the different kiosks around the park. Prices for these small plates generally run between about $3-$8 or so. You can pay with cash or credit card, or use a Disney Gift Card. And here's a Mom's tip for you: before you start sampling, pick up a specially-themed "mini" Disney Gift Card on a stretchy bracelet at one of the little shops on the promenade between Future World and World Showcase. It's fun and super convenient since you won't have to worry about digging out cash, and it's also a smart way to budget your spending as you decide which culinary treasures to try.
There are also lots of special experiences scheduled that you can reserve in advance. Many of these are more pricey, but you may find one that suits your taste perfectly.
I hope this helps you enjoy your tasty journey around the world, Christine. If you need me, I'll be planning my next sampling of the Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup!
Keep Disney Dreaming,
Kathy K.
