Do the Food & Wine vendors @ Epcot accept Disney Dollars?

[ncbyrne]

We usually don't carry much currency other than Disney Dollarsl, into the parks. We rely on Disney Dollars and Amex. Do the vendors accept Disney Dollars and/or CCs?

They don't accept CC, but I'm pretty sure they accept Disney Dollars.
You can check at Guest Relations when you enter Epcot, and if they don't, they can cash you Disney Dollars for regular money... and then at the end of you day just stop back buy and exchange for Disney Dollars again.

According to a Disney web site:
Q. Is there anything I cannot purchase with Disney Dollars?
A. No, Disney Dollars are treated the same as cash, however, some 3rdparty vendor locations do not accept Disney Dollars.

Some of the restaurants providing the FWF Booth food are 3rd party vendors (such as Mitsukoshi in Japan) so you might have to skip them or pay with regular cash.

This is worst case scenerio though, I am almost positive they accept Disney Dollars at the booths - I just have never done it

I forgot to add, if you go to a gift shop and buy something inexpensive and pay with a $20 or $50 Disney Dollar bill, you will get regular money as the change which you can use for the FWF booths. You have lots of options so don't worry about it - have a great vacation!

Argh, me again. What I meant to say is you can pay with you Disney Dollars at a merchandise location - just overpay and get regular change. (I just realized that DD only come in $1, $5, $10). Kindly ask/explain your situation to the Cast Member - I'm sure they will be willing to help.

Actually you can use your CC at the F&W booths. Last year I charged back to the room and my mother used her Discover card without any problems. The only place I believe CC isn't accepted was at a few of the small push carts (like for Mickey bars or bottled drinks).

Thanks Karen! I was getting a bit afraid I'd actually have to carry around cash.

 

[B'rer Karen]

Nah, you don't have to carry around cash. I'd be more than happy to hang onto it for you.

You seem trustworthy enough. Hey, you get there three days after me. Are you stalking me?!?!

I have used Disney Dollars, "regular" Dollars, and Room keys at many of the food vendors. The only one that is maybe sometimes excluded is the Room key at some of the carts. I also find that on occasion I'm paying $4.00 in assorted change, since you accumulate that pretty quickly. CM's were always happy to accept my little stacks of coins (but of course, I only did it when there wasn't a line)
