2017 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival: August 31, 2017 - November 13, 2017

[NikkiDP]

Just call and speak with passholder guest services. Both hubby and I got our magnets and just one Mickey Monitor. I did not get the summer one I requested, but I did get the fall one 2 days ago. They won't auto mail until after your pass is active, but they can send you one out on request.

Great!! Thanks for the info, that will be a good way to get even more excited for our trip!

Looking at the prices so far, doesn't seem like the Feast for the sense package (65$ for 8 plates or beverages) should be use for food.

It is priced at $8.13 (ignoring the pin). So far the most expensive food plate I see so far is the Teriyaki Ginger Pork in Japan at $8.25.

Last year, they tacked 6.5% tax onto the Sampler package. If they do that this year, you're looking at $8.65 per item so no food item is worth more than what you spend on the Sampler coupons. Save them for the fancy drinks.

I question too whether that $8.25 price is correct. That's a high price for a pork dish.

So DBF has the orginal Italy menu WITH prices?! They have the penne with vodka sauce @$7

Question: How do you all store your information as you head to F&W? I've got my selections on a spreadsheet at the moment, but I'm not going to walk around with a printout. I know there is a booklet but we'll be hitting Epcot our first day, first thing in the morning, so we won't really have time to go through and mark the booklet.

We used to used spreadsheets for the whole trip. A few years ago I transferred to using the Cozi app & it's so much easier. Everything can be done on your phone or PC. I will go through the menus as soon as they're posted & mark our interests. Then I'll get the festival map as soon as it's available & plan the attack for each day. Then I'll enter the info into the Cozi app which helps schedule it out over the days. I use the color coding of the app to indicate different types of things (like regular food vs cupcakes) instead of using the color coding for people as the app was intended. So easy. Saves hours.

This is pretty much the way it's been since they started the sampler - usually there are only 1-3 items of food that make sense using the coupons. We usually always use it for either the filet in Canada or the more expensive drinks.

Yes us too

Maybe they went ahead with the penne and shrimp dish. It also shows that nasty beef stew from last year that wasn't originally on this year's menu.

The price listed for the wine flight from the African booth can't be right. $6.50? No way.

Do the food on the booths include tax?

Looks right, unless this is from last year?

It looks like the real deal, and the flight in
Spain is $6.50 so it is correct.

 

[VictoriaT]

Wonder how small the flights are in comparison to a glass?

 

[JerseyJanice]

I don't get how wine flights can be $6.50 when beer flights are $9.00.

That question may be answered by the first photos ....maybe they use an eye dropper for the wine flights.........

 

[JerseyJanice]

Look at the prices of the individual samples--$5.00, $5.50 and $6.00.

Unless an eye dropper is involved, a flight priced at $6.50 makes little sense.

Of course it can, what you don't see is the size of the flight... thimbles of wine probably LOL!

The menu boards posted indicate tax is still included.

Agreed. I suspect the flight contains 3 glasses that are about 1/3 of the size of the (already small) regular pours.
