2022 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival (July 14 - November 19, 2022)

[Neverbeast]

They supply little booklets called passports. They don't have prices on them but they do have each of the booths on their own page with little check boxes if you want. They also list all the entertainment and other things happening. They are pocket sized, I can fit one in the pocket of my skort.

Speaking of, would anyone who will be there in July or early august like to be my fairy godmother and mail me some passports? (I’ll Venmo or PayPal you for the postage and effort!)

I would but I won't be there until the last week in August.

Hope this is the right area to post this but does anyone or this board know where I can get a PRINTABLE menu list? I read the full menu items but where I have, it is full of photos, etc. I would like just a simple text based printable list of the menus so when we go if we want to adjust I don’t need to be fussing with my phone through add based photo pages. Or, a way to just create my own?

In the past the Disney Food Blog has posted a printable menu list but no prices. Keep checking their website, it currently says stay tuned for the 2022 checklist. They currently have one for the Flower & Garden Festival if you want to see what it looks like.

So sad. I am missing 98 degrees in August and Sugar Ray in November. Sugar Ray has never played in November!! I always get to catch them the last month of September/October. But this year...the year I am taking my 1st grade granddaughter during her school vacation they decide to come the time I was there last year. But I will have a blast with my granddaughters

Wish Disney would offer more N/A options. I no longer drink alcohol but really appreciate a zero proof cocktail (that isn't lemonade and sweet syrup). Disney has yet to really embrace the N/A market (which is growing). Only a few establishments offer crafted zero proof cocktails (Citrico's being one of them). So many low alcohol craft beers and unique N/A spirits. Also many great options in a can...seems like a missed opportunity to me.

I can. Not sure exactly when I'll be there but sometime this month for sure. Message me & let me know how many you need.

Sugar Ray will be there during our trip!!! I am far more excited about that then my husband is lol.

The have food booths practically year round with very few events for differentiation. It is no longer a festival.

 

[RLHornbeck]

I agree that with Food and Wine extending out for so long and the food booth's pretty much always there nothing is special about it anymore. The special events are the most memorable things to my wife and I from our numerous trips. The Wine and Beer tasting lunch especially.

Disney bring back special events now and for this years Food and Wine event.

I have no idea who the people are that are performing when I go but I am looking forward to eating some of the food. I'm aiming to be more adventurous this time and I don't have any dining planned in Epcot this time.

I love all the plant based options but noticing a few items that look like they would be suitable for Vegetarians and not Vegans so hoping when the menu boards go up or the passports are issued they might be marked, I don't fancy asking at every single booth. Would also make an attempt at the Fromage Montage easier. Looking forward to doing the Remy map again.

I haven't been since 2017, what's the likelihood of the Food and Wine pin still being in stock? I won't be in Epcot till October 1st.

I would expect the pins to still be there. In terms of vegetarian options, they had a booth with only vegetarian options one year which was great

Think I'm fairly much done with the Food & Wine festival until they bring back the special events (which may never happen). The beverage seminars and culinary demonstrations were the things I most looked forward to. I went last year and it's just not the same. I had planned on spending 8 to 9 days at the festival this year as I recently retired and this is something that I was looking forward to doing after retirement - being able to really enjoy the festival over an extended period of time. However, with no special events or seminars scheduled again this year, I've decided to return in early December instead to catch the Festival of the Holidays.

This is so sad! Really hoped they'd put some special events together for the 50th Anniversary Celebration. Our annual trip is going to get shorter and maybe not be annual anymore....

So much opportunity to tie in the 50th, maybe cooking demos of recipes from each decade...exhibit at The Odyssey...a booth featuring classic Disney foods of the past....

I am afraid to see the prices

 

[Bex258]

Well unless the ingredients changed dramatically, the items that I could have last time I went are no longer marked vegetarian (lacto-ovo-vegetarian) on the signage.

Any ideas who at Disney I can email to see if they can confirm what is vegetarian in addition to the plant based diary free Vegan options? Or at least leave feedback.
