does anyone have a picture of the "special gift card" and do they have the regular food and wine ones that they usually have in addition to the "special" ones

No special gift card currently for sale according to the CM I asked

Is this for sale to anyone or is it the Premium package one?

 

[Biceratops]

Premium Package. Some were able to pick up next week's package today.

The 20th anniversary gift card is available, I saw one of my friends on FB with it. I don't know how to post pics, sorry, but it is definitely out

Hi all. Had a great day at the Festival!

Got the Sampler Package. Here are the exclusions printed on the credential: "Excludes beers larger than 6 ounces, all tasting flights, all Champagnes, and the Artist Palette at cheese and wine." Used it for a couple of >$10 cocktails. The entitlements are valid through Nov. 16th, except for the Eat to the Beat FastPass, which is for the day purchased only.

Could you please list the 30 booths the entitlements are valid at if possible. Someone said they were told booths 1-30 but no one has actually named those booths. We are all wondering how we find out the actual booth numbers.

I'm assuming the lights and sounds on the MagicBand at FP+ points are only in EPCOT. Kind of like how the Halloween Party MagicBands only work in Magic Kingdom.

Probably taking things way too literally but I am curious as to what Disney is defining as "champagne". All wine from the Desserts & Champagne booth? All sparkling wine? When we had the late nights live credential entitlements last year, Dom was removed from the menu entirely but we were able to use entitlements for the $12ish imperial sparkling wines. Wondering if that will hold true this year -- if so, more than happy to book at least one more sampler to maximize our savings. Hope all those continuing to experience this event will update us on what is/isn't included with those sampler entitlements!

And again, a HUGE thank you to the DISers taking vacation time to update us at home! @ChrisNY2 @NoMoneyThanks2Disney

Thank you for this report. I was contemplating adding the dining plan, but since we spend so much time eating around the festival booths, this makes it a no go for sure.

NO DDP for us either. No dining plan for us either during F&W days.

ENJOY F&W! THANKS for posting the specifics! SO 8 entitlements can be carried over, but the Eat to the Beat Fastpass has to be used "day of"! THANKS ChrisNY2. Seriously, 3 Dining CM"s including a Disney Dining Supervisor didn't know this about 6 weeks ago when the Sampler info came out and I called at least twice? Come ON!
