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

[gottalovepluto]

I have such a narrow window to be there (October 10-14) and none of the seminars appeal that much (vinegar?). I'm just going to lurch around WS and eat and drink.

Seriously though WS in itself is an awesome plan!! Also, VINEGAR?! ICK!

Well, we decided to attempt our list, and add MNSSHP to the mix on November 1, since we'll be there that night and we missed the Christmas Party. We'll just try for Holidays around the world another year. There's something extra-special about thumbing our nose at Halloween by going to a Halloween party 364 days early.

Bring on the crack of dawn tomorrow!

Coffee is brewing...alnost time to book.

[Astryd]

Im at work and ready with both my cell phone and work phone. Just need to get my one last event.

Good luck everyone!

 

[crazy4wdw]

Good Luck to everyone this morning!

 

[crazy4wdw]

7:00 am EST, doesn't appear that you can book anything online yet?

 

[joeyvee]

Good Luck to all this morning. I hope everyone gets what they want!

Got immediately through and the CM said she couldnt book the Signature Dinning at the Contemporary Chefs Table on 10/27. She said nothing was available. so now, Im back calling and 40 minute wait.

I dont understand.

No luck yet getting anything online for me either.

 

[AquaDame]

More than 25 minutes - dialed right at 4am (I'm PST). Didnt get a time estimate until I had already been on hold 5 min or so.

 

[AllyBri]

7am/60 minute wait.

 

[Jays2013]

Got through right at 7 and 25-minute wait here. I'm nervous! I really want this. It's a special thing for my mom and I.

I tell myself it's not that big a deal if we don't get it. True enough. But we're really hoping for it.

 

[crazy4wdw]

Still doesn't appear that anything is bookable online. I hope the reservation system is not down for people waiting on the phone.

I'm on the phone with a CM right now and she says Parisian Breakfast on 9/23 is all booked up. How is that possible?! She says people have been pre-booking but don't they still hold spots for general? Crazy!!

After all online booking was going to solve all of our problems. If Only Disney would let us book online.


Just checked a bunch of random days for paid seminars. trust me vinegar is not sold at 7:11 am. Disney's IT strikes again

Do you all see what the best IT
shop in Disney did? You can't book anything because they didn't even bother to open it up.as long. If this is your information technology services department, online booking will be just a big nightmare as the phone

 

[Jays2013]

Oh no. We were hoping for Nov. 4... I thought they only opened 10-15 percent of the spots to prebooking?

 

[VAtink]

Just spoke with my mom who was making our reservations, she said the CM she spoke to said all the events the week we're there in September are showing up as full already. I find this hard to believe so now we're both calling back!

Every year there are major issues with trying to book F&W events. Never fails

Update: was on the phone with the CM when she got an alert that there's something wrong with the system right now and one one's seeing availability in the system for any events.

 

[AquaDame]

...but Im up at 4am for this ugh, lol. Did they have any kind of ETA for fixing it..?
