I'd forgotten about those Sam Adams beer school presentations. I miss those prices as well. A day long wine school with lunch for $125?? Sigh. I'm sure planning, coordinating, and staffing all of these events is a ton of work, but they were so popular, and I can't imagine they weren't generating a profit. I'm truly baffled.

I still can't believe they gave us the shaft on Communicore Hall! They did it up so well for Fest of the Arts and Flower/Garden that I was looking forward to see what they would do.

Goofycore was fine for summer with kids out of school and everything, but now it's just laziness to leave it the way it is.

Yes, I was hoping for an exceptional display for this year's festival. I attended the Festival of the Arts this year and Comminicore Hall included a display of props from the Disney Broadway Musicals. It was very, very, good. So I thought the display for this year's F & W festival would be just as wonderful.

The only AP discount that I could find for Arribas Brothers was at their Disney Springs location. No discount available at their location in the Germany Pavillion. You could try their location at DS to see if they have the Food & Wine Festival stemware

Glaskunst (Epcot stand)


Kunstarbeit in Kristall (Epcot store)

Special Event
A pre-paid breakfast buffet experience is coming to the France Pavilion on Fridays and Saturdays during the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. Reservations will become available on August 12, 2025, for seatings starting September 5, 2025.

Assorted French Pastries

• Buttery croissants, pain au chocolat, almond croissants and other assorted pastries

Freshly Baked Baguettes

• Crisp on the outside, soft and warm on the inside—ideal for spreading with creamy butter or luxurious French jams

Cheeses & Charcuterie
A selection of premium cheeses and artisanal cured meats

Smoked Salmon

• Delicate and silky slices of smoked salmon, perfect for pairing with fresh bread or a squeeze of lemon

Fresh Fruit

• Seasonal fruit to balance the richness of the pastries and charcuterie

Enjoy the perfect accompaniment to your meal with unlimited mimosas, fruit juices and freshly brewed coffee served to your liking. Price is $64.95 per person.

This actually seems reasonably priced given the amount of food and mimosas. Has anyone done this? Was it worth it?

I did. My thoughts in this post on prior page. It's pricey but I enjoyed it. It's a carb-heavy, light on protein breakfast, but that's right up my alley. You're likely to sit with another party/parties so need to be ok with that.

Ahh thanks for sharing it, checking it out now.

Has anyone tried to book the dining package for The Beach Boys for Nov 16 or 17? I was on at 6AM each day and several times throughout the day and it keeps saying nothing available.
