2016 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival: September 14 - November 14, 2016

Most of the F&W branded stuff will have a red price tag on it that is half the regular price. Even copies of the F&W annual poster signed by the artist were half price as well as cutting boards and magnets. They don't put up signs for some reason - but they are prices with red tags.

All the times I have been, I never knew that ... thanks!!

This time tomorrow I'll be half way through my flight down to Disney and a few hours out from my first F&W!!

I guess we will find out today if there is a Cast Member preview OR other soft opening of the booths. I can't believe the map of the marketplaces hasn't been released yet.

Just checking in to see if anyone has posted about a possible soft opening today. World Showcase will be opening in about one hour!

not sure if this has already been noted but the culinary demonstrations list has been updated so it's not the same as the one linked on the first page of this thread!

Oftentimes the soft opening doesn't happen until the evening--then again, this F&WF is early compared to years past AND begins on a Wednesday versus a Friday (CM opening was Thursday night).

Has anyone heard if the wine pours will be the same size? I was just noticing on the 3 menus that was posted to Twitter that the wine jumped significantly in price. I expected the .25 hike from last years prices like some of the other items had but a lot of the wines went from $3.75 to $5.50. Any thoughts?

For the EXACT SAME wine?

Yup, I was comparing the prices from last year to the menu pics off Twitter for the same wines.

I doubt the pours changed. I expect the profit margin did
