Festival of the Arts Food Budget

[Mle8308]

Curious about the wristlets you can get for various festivals. Do they provide a discount? What’s the benefit of them vs your magic band?

No discount. For guests who aren't staying on Disney property and can't charge back to their rooms with a MB, it is easier than always pulling out a credit card or cash. And some people, smartly, use it to budget. They put a certain amount on the gift card and when it's gone, then it's time to stop eating and drinking!

Yep, it updates for every festival - when I opened it the other day, I just had to click OK!

That’s the one!

They’ve made some changes since I used it last year that have made it even better.

Thanks for the tip! Downloaded it, good information!

We are a family of 4, kids are teens, and we average about $150 during the festivals, we sample a good bit but usually don't have a breakfast meal there but that accounts for most of our days' food and drinks. This is a full day at epcot, breakfast offsite, break mid day. The GC is great and so easy since it's right on your wrist. You can reload it so that's nice and you can use it on property, not just the booths. Just easier to have than having to continually swipe your card.

I would say $75.00-$100.00, a lot of the items may be to adventurous for your family.
