EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, Sept. 25 - Nov 16 2015

This may be an odd question, but can you get free cups of ice water from the F&W booths or do you have to go to one of the regular QS service locations. We normally take our own water bottles, but take full advantage of free water.

I don't think the booths are connected to a water supply and drains. What they might have would be for their food prep purposes. Think you'd still have to visit a QS location, or water fountain.

I agree with OP

Thank you so much for this link - it's fantastic. Really hope they post reviews for 2015 before we go in mid-Oct - so helpful!

He's already said he'll do one this year. He typically goes at the very beginning so you should be good

Anyone know when the map will be available?

How is the festival on Sunday evenings? I would assume not as wild and packed at Saturday but still very busy. We arrive on 9/27 and have a 2:30 late lunch at Le Cellier and plan on dinner grazing after 7 at the festival. We are staying at the BC so it will very easy to get into WS.

Try any of the permanent kiosks that sell coffee. They usually have water lines and you can grab a cup of water much faster than going into a QS location. eg the Refreshment Port and the permanent kiosks near Canada (not the F&W temporary one). Sadly, the little one in Japan that sells the flavoured ice doesn't have ice water . . . I know, because I asked last year.

So it's possible someone already asked but I looked through several pages and didn't find anything. I'm wondering if anyone has info about the Food and Wine Festival Tasting Sampler.

 

[AngiTN]

If you mean what it is good towards or what is excluded, no, not yet

 

[Kermit85]

I was wondering just in general. I found a little better info after I posted. Basically what I got out of it is the package comes with a food and wine pin and 8 food or drink "tickets" and then the concert priority that I'm not all that interested in. That's basically the jist of it right?

Yes.

It isn't know what isn't included with the "tickets" yet. We should know next weekend though when the festival officially starts.

How much is this tasting sampler?

 

[jerseygal]

so much for all your help. Luckily my hubby will have cash and his cc on him just in case we have a "Tragic Band" LOL

Thanks for reminders. Always better to be "SAFE THAN SORRY"!

 

[jerseygal]

How much is this tasting sampler?

Think it was $59.99 before tax for 8 samplers which must be used in SAME day, no carryover. Yes, pin is included and eat to the beat concert. There are exclusions however which to the best of my knowledge have not been announced.

Does it get you table seating (in that VIP area)? I am guessing not since they have the premium package for that.

You are correct, no VIP area.
