If you have the food/wine app, it's been updated with pricing!
(well, not all actually)

I am planning to be there on Thursday for opening day. I love a mission. So if anything I can research for anyone, let me know!

I would love to see merchandise pictures!

On my Android it's called WDW Food and Wine. It's great!

 

[escriven75]

Yes! I'm so excited for the Emile cheese crawl and Remy activity!

What is the Emile Cheese Crawl???? We love the Remy scavenger hunt. My kids are both teens and we still do the Remy hunt. But I've never heard of the cheese thing and I LOVE cheese!!!!

Does anyone know if you can snag a Food and Wine passport at the resorts?

Does anyone know if you can snag a Food and Wine passport at the resorts?

I've never seen it in the resorts, including the EPCOT area resorts. But they are plentiful in the park - from entry to stores and booths. Happy to get you one on Thurs and send it by mail (caveat - don't know if there is a single version of the passport for the full festival or if they'll release another version for the booths that open 10/1)

FYI - this is "the app." Unofficial. Created/maintained by a fan.

Hi all! Our first Food and Wine visit this year (August). Does anyone have tips of how we can find spots in the shade (or even better--air conditioning) to eat some things? Apologize if this is a stupid question, but as excited as we are to try lots of booths, I am concerned we will give up very quickly if the only option is to stand around in the sun to eat. As I mentioned....August!!

For air conditioning check out Appleseed Orchard, it's in the Canada theater and is gloriously air conditioned. In 2019 we ended up stopping there a bunch of times just to get a break from the heat and eat/drink more! As for shade, it can be hard to come by, but some tables do get some shade such as the ones across from the Canada booth under the trees. Flavors From Fire had picnic tables with umbrellas up behind the stand back in 2019, not sure if they'll do that again this year, but those were great (and very hidden)!

Perfect. Exactly the kind of info I need. I am embarrassed to say in all of the times I have been to Epcot, I rarely make it "deep" into any of the countries, so I imagine there are lots of tucked away places that might make a good place to sit (or even stand). And I had no idea about Appleseed Orchard being indoors. I better start doing some homework so I can be in the know for the festival!

I expect World Showplace to be open. It’s next to the UK Pavilion on the Canada side. It usually contains 2 or 3 booths, and is a great way to escape either the heat or rain.

They haven't explicitly referred to World ShowPlace but I agree and expect/hope it will be open. Other indoor areas are Canada, Odyssey, Rotunda of American Adventure, and Tangierine Cafe in Morocco (though not sure it's big enough to /have tables in there). The more spots with air conditioning and shelter from rain, the better with a festival starting 7/15 in Florida!

do people ever bring their booth foods indoors to a quick service (like regal eagle or whatever it is called?)

If someone you are with is actually purchasing food there, I don't see an issue.

I used to get food from France and sit at Tangerine Cafe with the rest of my party who were eating food from there.

 

[miamimama]

Is Tangerine cafe open? I had heard it closed, which was upsetting.

that would be really hard to do right now as they aren't letting you in unless you have a mobile order ready. We have used the picnic tables outside American Adventure though. There are some shady tables there.
