Can we book the F&W Festival on-line?

[Ron from Michigan]

I'm wondering if we can book on-line for the festival when it opens for reservations tommorrow morning or if I have to call. It seem like I was able to book some of the seminars last year on-line.Thanks Ron...

I believe that you have to call in for this one, especially if you are booking with a discount.

According to the DisneyFoodBlog, almost all F&W events will be bookable on-line:

At this time, Food and Wine Festival Special Events will be able to be booked on August 16th at 7am ET (call 407 WDW-FEST for details). Special events will be available through online booking again this year. Sweet Seats and Wine View Lounge tickets must be purchased by phone.

As Doug noted, if you want to book one of the low-cost seminars/demonstrations that occur on Mondays thur Thursdays using an available discount, you have to call for those.

We just heard the news that both Tables in Wonderland members, Disney Vacation Club members, and Disney World Annual Passholders will be able to book 2011 Epcot Food & Wine Festival low-cost seminars and demonstrations taking place Monday-Thursday during the festival for a discounted rate.

More big news? Those same groups will be able to book those events four days earlier than other guests! Tables in Wonderland members and Annual Passholders are able to book on August 12th at 9am ET for ALL low-cost seminars and demonstrations during the festival. All other guests must wait until the August 16th booking date, when all events open for booking.

However, booking starts tomorrow morning and no one has a clue HOW you would book on line!

Yes, I'm calling just to be safe!! I called on Friday to reserve my culinary demonstrations, wine tasting and mixology class because I couldn't find any online links.

If on-line booking does happen, it won't be available until 8/16 when general bookings begin. The discounted seminars/demonstrations can only be booked by phone.

I've tried looking for the site to book online but have not been able to find a site. I would like to book seminars/demonstrations at the Festival Center. I booked a few last week for Mon-Thurs by phone since we are DVC members.

So... tomorrow morning at 8 am or so Disney's IT will have this link working (and it will work?)

I think I will just go back to the old fashioned call system.

right now it's completely unknown whether or not there will be an active online link tomorrow for the seminars/demonstrations or any other Festival bookings.

The above quote says "Special events will be available for online booking again this year." Not sure what that means...as at the WDW festival, the special events (meaning the big-bucks dinners and pairings) have NEVER been available for online booking.
