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

[HolRae]

Thank you so much - I figured the link would be somewhere in the thread but couldn't find it and didn't want to scroll through 100 pages!

I'll be there Friday and managed to grab a candy sushi spot for 5.30pm so I can report back on the experience if anyone is interested? I should have lots of food pictures as well if anyone is interested in those.

I would to see pics and hear your thoughts on both the sushi and the booths. Thank you.

We made Eat to the Beat dining reservations. We made the reservations to guarantee a seat to concert that we want to see. I have read that they are handing out a limited number of VIP seating for concert to AP holders the morning of the concert. How far in advance do we have to cancel the reservation to not get a penalty? Could we try and get the VIP seating certificate that morning and then call and cancel?

Oh that would be nice to snag. I need to do some more research.
I don’t need my eat to the beat ADR since I have the Italian lunch ealier in the day. Would be nice to get reserved seating (although by comments here, there are only a few bands that this is even an issue).

If anyone is interested, some events seem to still have availability. Specifically, I managed to convince my mother to join my brother and I for the first couple days of our trip and we were able to add her on to our Parisian Breakfast reservation with no difficulty! Which is good, because the availability to do that was the deciding factor on her joining!

I'm so excited for all the reviews and pictures! Also "excited" to see pricing so I know how much I need to cut from my want to try list!

Same here! I've got my spreadsheet all ready to go and just need to plug in prices and then prioritize!

Woohoo! Thanks for posting! This ensures that I won't get any work done for at least the next hour or so!

Not all of them are there. I know Brazil isn’t

Any tips for getting candy sushi event registration. I am late to the party and tried calling today for end of Sept and it is all booked.

Thanks! Is it my imagination, or are some of the menu items slightly different than were previously announced.

 

[OKW Lover]

Looking at the menus/prices it looks like this is going to cost me more than last year. Color me not surprised.

It's also Missing Thailand, Refreshment Outpost and Active Eats. That's from the items in my list, there may be more.

Hang on a few days. This event was designed for children. I expect that some of the adults who signed up will discover it’s not really what they think it was going to be and the reviews are not gonna be outstanding


I’m not sure why everybody is so excited to do candy sushi when it’s obviously a children’s activity.

It was actually billed ad and "activity for all ages". If it were just for kids, it would have said so.

I am not doing it BTW

There’s also a ton of YouTube videos and websites that teach you how to do the exact same candy sushi. I taught myself for a party potluck once. Rice Krispie Squares in roll form, with gummy worms as the “veggie” centres and fruit roll ups as the “seaweed” wrapper. Or, make the Rice Krispie Squares into little logs, use a Swedish fish as the “fish” and a strip of fruit roll up as the wrapper. Really, really easy. I’ve had friends do them as a kids’ birthday party activity, and they still turn out half-decent even when made by a pack of cake-hyper 5yr olds...

And I'm not sure why you want to police something Disney themselves labeled as fun for all ages and hasn't asked for proof of age at the time of booking?

Spreadsheet has been updated with the prices posted by DFB & WDWNT so far. Last year's prices for returning items & the difference are on the far right. Looks like modest increases so far. A few jacked up.

Thanks! This is very helpful. I am planning out use of my snack credits, and trying to decide which booths have items that would be worth converting a QS meal credit to use. I have free dining, and a few extra credits to use, so it looks like quite a few booths will be a good use. Heading down Saturday and I am so excited!

 

[CJBerge]

Does anyone know if you will be able to use a quick service credit for three snacks like you could last year?

Looking forward to your updated spreadsheet. Curious to see the 2018 prices
