Epcot International Food & Wine Festival *2011*

[sherekhan]

have their cheese soup and salmon, some booths do stay the same!

Anytime you want a great celebration champagne - head over to Italy - and take a taste of the Rosa Regale - its red, it smells like strawberries - so refreshing, so delicious! (I buy it here at the local liquor store for $20 a bottle! a taste of Epcot when I cant get there!)

Sounds yummy! Thank you!

So excited, this is my first ever visit for F&W - will be there from the 8th to the 16th November so I catch the last few days. Based on last year's events there's a number of things I really want to go to.

Found this on another site, subject to change I would assume.

I think we are arriving on the last day (11/13), any suggestions for what to see/do? (2 people of adult age and 2 pre-teens)

Just a quick note,

We were at the Food and Wine festival last year on its last day, and surprisingly it wasn't all that crowded.

Disappointing so far for us....we arrive on the 5th in the evening and will just miss 38 Special. Then it's Jon Secada .....familiar with the music, but never into it. Hoping for something good for the rest of our trip the 8th through the 10th!

Can you purchase the bracelets ahead of time? My bday is in August and this would be a good gift to ask for or should I just ask for a Disney gift card and use that to purchase my bracelet when I get there?

I believe you can only purchase the F&W gc at the festival, I am also thinking I read last year that you could not purchase the "food&wine" with another gc ? Perhaps someone else will remember for sure?

I am not thrilled with who will be at the "eat to the beat" concerts while I am there either and still waiting to see who is to appear October 20-21.

It will be someone good since I am tentively planning on doing F! on the 20th and MNSSHP on 21st

I don't think you can use a gift card to purchase another gift card. Could be wrong about that though.

You can only buy the wristbanded festival-themed gift cards at Epcot during the festival. They're not available for pre-purchase.

I'm going to close this thread to keep festival discussion to the Festival Sticky Thread, to prevent posters having to look for two different threads.
