Hi there, Elaine! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Thanks so much for taking the time to reach back out and asking another wonderful Walt Disney World Resort question!
We are rapidly approaching many foodies' favorite time to visit Walt Disney World Resort, the
Epcot International Food & Wine Festival! This event takes place from August 29th until November 23rd, 2019, and invites Guests to celebrate the cuisine, music, and culture from around the world. Guests can jam along with new and returning musicians during the
Eat to the Beat Concert Series, brush up on their food prep skills during the
Culinary Demonstrations, get to know different celebrity chefs during the
Sunday Brunch with the Chef series, and much more!
The
Disney Dining Plan can be incredibly useful during events such as the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. Using Dining Credits for meals and snacks may potentially cut down on the costs of sampling food throughout the festival and also allows Guests to purchase their food through a single "payment source". Guests may trade their Meal Credits in for three Snack Credits if they choose. So, you can certainly do this during your upcoming vacation and use those Snack Credits to purchase food offerings at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival!
Have fun "eating around the world" at Walt Disney World Resort and let us know if we can answer any other questions for you!
