does anyone know if maps are posted of the booth locations?

 

[SaraVee]

All these great tips made me think of questions.. Do the booths open up when World Showcase does or after (and if it's after then what time?)

And last time I was there was before magic bands were a thing.. Can you use that to pay or no?

Thanks!

Booths open with World Showcase at 11 am. Extremely low crowds (at least on weekdays) the times I "rope drop" World Showcase and am there waiting for it to open.

I believe most of the stands will not open until the showcase is open.

Looks like the MagicBands do not work but would be awesome if they did!

Great choices @greigallen, but don't forget to scope out the beverages too.

Thanks!

Yes, you can use magic bands to pay at the booths -- either by using snack credits if you have the dining plan, or by charging to your room.

Looks like the MagicBands do not work but would be awesome if they did!

Good news for you then, magic bands can be used to pay for food and drinks at the booths.

 

[greigallen]

@JerseyJanice Oh don't you worry I will be

Warning!

Last year on a Friday evening there were LOTS of whiny guests at t food booths when the entire Tragic Band system went down. Those of us with other payment methods had much shorter lines thanks to this.

Never trust Disney's IT and bring a back up payment method LOL!

YES! Suggest always carry another payment form just in case!!
Last year during our visit, had a bad storm, lightening must have taken out something because most of the booths had to go to cash only for a few hours even after the storm passed!
Also..... if the booth does stay open during a storm they won't use the magic band or credit system due to all the wiring etc! (that was what a CM told us when we had to use cash).

Last year we were able to use one dining plan counter service credit for 3 snack credits. Had to be used at the same time, all 3 at 1 booth, but it was a great way to be able to taste everything we wanted at the one booth - it's me and my daughter so we shared.

Thanks guys, going Sept. 2 - 16. Can't wait to stuff my face and silently judge the Scotland stand

We'll be there 9/3 - 9/8 - not staying as long as you unfortunately. We'll be at Epcot on 9/6.

Naah. They're just gonna keep hearing back to SCotland for that stout.
