Be prepared for the prices. No joke. It has gotten really really expensive, so just be prepared. You can easily spend nearly $100 a person for the day if you buy alcohol as well. The portions are tiny, but add up fast, so pace yourself, you will get full more quickly than you think. I highly recommend marking down the dishes you liked and then picking up the cookbook if it has those recipes. Also, often the random countries that have a booth like Austria or Poland will have shorter lines, but have great food. I've had some of the best goulash of my life at the festival.

check out the menus ahead of time, print out which countries you definitely want to visit and what foods you want to order. This will help you budget money and time. Some foods you might not be familiar with so by looking ahead of time you will know if they traditionally have an ingredient you don't want or can't eat. As a fun side note, DH and I rated how much we liked or disliked the foods we sampled.
Also, if you can afford it, get a ticket for the Party for the Senses. It is a separate ticket ( hard ticket event) from regular admission to Epcot.

Pick up one of the little gift cards on a wrist cord. They're just like gift cards in that you can recharge them as needed. They helped DH and I stay on budget because those drinks and tiny plates are pricy. Also, you won't need to sign a charge slip like with credit cards. Plus they make cute souvenirs

I agree with Party for the Senses if it is in your budget. I know there are mixed opinions because of the price but we have purchaed tickets 4 times. Some parties have been better than others but we have enjoyed all of them.

Also, if others in your group are willing, I recommend sharing the food at at the booths. You will fill up a lot more quickly than you think. It also saves a little money and gives you the opportunity to try more things.

If you are doing the Disney Dining plan you can use your snacks at the F&WF. Also what my wife and I do is get one of the wrist bands and put money on it. That way you can keep up with how much you have spent. You can definately spend more that you realize.
