2018 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival: August 30 to November 12, 2018

I feel the same way about the subpar California wines so different strokes for different folks. Lots of different booths and drinks for everybody’s taste.

I’ve pretty much given up the entire “wine” part of Food and Wine

Same. But I do enjoy the bubbly offerings!

 

[KaitorTot]

Come on menus! I can't wait to start planning!

Here's a Epcot video from the Tim Tracker which shows many of the Global Marketplace Kiosks, now if we just knew the menu items which will be served in each one!

I’m with you. I can’t really drink without being sick but I can usually get the drinkable chocolate and rose they have in the ghiradelli shop on the festival centre, probably because it tastes like chocolate covered strawberries. I’m more of a food girl because of it.

We will be at the Food and Wine for my DS who will be turning 21 on September 5! I got him a Mickey happy birthday tee shirt with his name and a big "21" on his back. I know we should make sure he has his photo license but are there any other suggestions to making his day more "Magical"? Dinner will be at Teppan Edo!!!

Pick up a “Happy Birthday” pin from guest services for him.

Grab a free celebration slushie from Club Cool!

I'll taste a beer if they have an interesting one. but if I want wine or mixed drinks or a whole beer that's going to come from the regular Epcot purveyors, not the festival booths.

I would love the mac and cheese if it didn't have green bell peppers in it. not much use waiting for it to change.

(Make sure the license doesn’t expire on his birthday!)

If they don't hurry up and release the booth menus soon, I'm just going to have to wait some more.

 

[KNovacovschi]

I'm wondering why they are holding off so long to release the menus this year. It's weird.

They can’t decide on the price raises. 10% and no one will notice? 20% because we’re Disney? 30% also because we’re Disney? Screw it guys let’s go 40% and just see what happens! ...apparently I’m a bit pessimistic today...

Because there is no money to be made by releasing now. Every move Disney makes anymore is geared toward making money. New hard ticket events. New desert parties.

I do wonder it that has something to do with it ... Is Disney planning a higher than usual price increase this year or cutting the beverage size again? They've announced some newer items (without prices), but guests can easily compare year-to-year pricing on the returning items. To control the backlash they may just wait til the kiosk boards are posted

How is it possible to further cut beverage size? When I went 5 years ago you got barely a taste. Anything smaller would have to be poured into a thimble!

Are they having "problems" filling hotel rooms this fall? If so, perhaps they don't want to further discourage folks by posting the prices of the food booths, especially now that they have already cut back on a lot of the special events. By waiting until the last minute to post the prices, they can (and surely will) raise the prices and people might be outside of their cancellation window and "locked-in" to their vacation. Just a thought...

Not over Jersey week at least (I’ve been searching for Other Epcot Resorts- nada!)
