Welcome to planDisney, Crystal!
I'm glad to hear you are planning to spend time at the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. This is one of my favorite things to do when visiting Walt Disney World Resort. In fact, my friends and I were just discussing how many days we should plan to go to the festival on our upcoming trip.
Crystal, you'll be happy to know that access to the festival is included with your
admission to
EPCOT. Don't forget that you will also need to make a
Disney Park Pass theme park reservation.
I love tasting my way around EPCOT with all the
yummy bites and sips at the outdoor food booths. Most items are just a few dollars. Often when I am with a group we will order one of everything at each booth and share -- that way we can try even more items. Pick up a festival booklet when you arrive that lists the locations and menus of the booths. One fun thing to do is Emile's Fromage Montage. Choose at least 5 items from Emile's list and get your booklet stamped as you purchase. Once you have collected 5 stamps, head to the Shimmering Sips booth for a special completer prize -- it's like a food scavenger hunt. Speaking of
scavenger hunts, Remy's Ratatouille Hide & Squeak is a fun adventure for the whole gang. Purchase a map and stickers, and once you've completed your quest pick up a special souvenir. Evenings are a blast with complimentary
Eat to the Beat concerts in the America Gardens Theatre. My planDisney friends and I put together even more
great tips for visiting the festival in this Disney Parks Blog article.
Crystal, if you have any additional questions, please feel free to stop by planDisney again anytime. Enjoy your visit!
