    Where do I go to buy the wristbands for the Epcot Food and Wine festival where you can put money on them and use that as a payment at the booths.

    Hello there, Alex! Welcome to planDisney. You have a Walt Disney World Resort visit on the horizon, and it sounds like the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is on your itinerary. I just returned from there, so let's talk about those festival wristlets.

    I purchased a Mini Festival Gift Card wristlet during a festival last year and was thrilled to learn I could load more funds on it this year. You can use the card anywhere Disney Gift Cards are accepted. I love the convenience of having it handy on my arm, although that probably leads to a higher calorie intake as I make my way around the festival!

    You can purchase a wristlet at many EPCOT merchandise locations. Last week, I saw them at Creations Shop and Gateway Gifts. According to the festival page, you can also pick one up at Port of Entry and World Traveler. The wristlets are available at most festival merchandise kiosks, too; I love the Chef Mickey and Chef Minnie designs!

    The Global Marketplace offerings blew me away this year, Alex. The Fry Basket never disappoints, and the Impossible™ Spicy Sausage at Refreshment Outpost was a surprise favorite. As usual, I tried to pace myself, but my tastebuds got the best of me!

    Alex, thanks again for allowing planDisney to help make your vacation magical. Enjoy your new gift-card accessory and bon appétit!

    Magic awaits,
    Elaine
