How much $$ do you spend at Food and Wine Festival??

[minniebride]

How much money do each of the items cost at the various booths, on average?

How much money do you end up spending per day?

I can't really tell how big the items are in the photos I've seen to determine how many snacks fill you up.....

My husband and I went to F&W for our 20th anniversary in 2010...we pretty much spent $100/ea over four nights, on both food and beverage but the food was basically covering two meals on some days, and the other days it was several snacks.

We *love* the Food and Wine festival! We went for our anniversary in 2010, brought the kids in 2011...and now have booked a 'quick' trip for this fall, because we just can't bear to miss it!

Enjoy!!!

We paid for our food items with snack credits from DDP. Even the expensive Lobster Roll ($7+) was covered by one snack credit. We only spent cash on drinks. Disney has allowed the use of snack credits for the past years, and I expect it to be the same this year. Items covered by snack credits are marked on the menu boards outside the kiosks.

Some are larger portions than others. I went with friends in 2011. It seemed the prices of the food were mostly $3-$4.50. They fit on the small dessert plates that WDW uses. There were some that were less, but not many and there were a couple that were higher like the lobster. I think it was $6.50 but I don't remember for sure. The drinks depend on what you like. We spent a little more and tried (and loved) things like the godiva chocolate liquor. It was chilly at night so we got a few teas or coffees with Baileys,Kalua, etc. Of course you can get free cups of water so you can do it cheaper.

DH and I went last year during free dining... a quick 4-day weekend without kids (and only 2-day park passes). We used all of our snack credits (a total of 12) and probably $50-75 on top of the snack credits over the course of 2 days. (Some of that was alcoholic drinks, though.)

A lot! Over 2-3 days, probably $300+ on booth items for me and DH. We really like F&W.

$100-$150 per adult couple per day, at least. If you're planning on making meal and cocktail hour out of it, likely more.

We (DH & I) try one of each food item at each booth and spent over $300 just on food items. We do share each item so we get a taste. It takes us 3-4 days to hit all the food booths. Drinks, wine, etc were extra.

We used our snack credits for most items so we didn't spend too much. One of my sons and I also shared most of the items, there's no way I would've made it through all the booths in one day without sharing.

That's how we did F&W last year. It was really nice. I still spent quite a bit on drinks though.

I'm not sure exactly how much we spend as DH takes care of that. But I am with VickiC thinking it is in that range for both food and beverages. We cut down on the actual Out of Pocket expense in that we first use our snack credits for food. But we do run out of those.
The sizes are "Tapa Size", small tasting portions. Like 3 - 4 bites usually.
We love F & W - Enjoy

The three of us spend about $200. We have to go on Saturdays and cant hit all the booths because of crowds, but we manage to fill up on booths we do hit. The seafood pie at Ireland is pretty filling on its own.

I hope you have a wonderful time at F & W.
