Hi Michelle,
Thank you so much for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question! We on the panel love helping guests to plan magical vacations.
The
Epcot International Food and Wine Festival is one of my favorite events at Walt Disney World each year. My family loves to visit the international food kiosks throughout Epcot, and we typically take in a Culinary Demonstration or other event as well. This festival adds to the already wonderful and vibrant atmosphere at Epcot.
Much of the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival will be covered by your Epcot admission. You do need Epcot admission, but for much of the festival there is not any additional ticket needed. You are free to roam the international food kiosks, take in the Eat to the Beat concert series, check out the Festival Center, and much more once you are in Epcot.
There are some events at the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival that do have an extra fee associated. For instance, the Culinary and Beverage Demonstrations have a fee, as do some other activities. If you click on the different activities from the website I linked above, you will see if there is a fee associated. These pages will also guide you on how to make reservations for these activities.
I hope that this information is helpful for you, Michelle. Please do let us know if you have any further questions!
