International Food & Wine Festival ?'s

[aladdinsgirl]

I hope this hasn't been asked recently, I was lazy and only scrolled thru one page. But, can anyone tell me what the International Food & Wine Festival at Epcot is like? It was going on when we were there for our honeymoon in 2000, but we didn't pay any attention to it. Does anyone know what kind of food is served at the booths in the various countries? DH and I love to sample food in World Showcase and to me this sounds like the ultimate sampler platter!!

TIA!

There are typically over 30 countries represented with food and sometimes drink (alcoholic included) samples indigenous to the country.

The cost ranges from $1 to $5 per sample, with some items being more costly.

It is incredibly popular and grows moreso with each year. Be prepared for queues.

There are any number of included food and wine demonstrations (and some samplings) and many that come with an extra fee.

There is the eat to the beat concert series, as well.

It is fortyfive days long this year instead of the usual thirty.

There is a page of pictures of some of the menus from the International Booths from last year's Food & Wine Festival on the main DIS site. Here's the link: http://www.wdwinfo.com/Photos/EpcotsFoodWineFestivalMenus/index.html

if it is your first time just go and enjoy you will have plenty to do just walking from booth to booth

there is much to see and enjoy without doing the different add ons. The next time you go you will have a feel for everything and be able to make good decisions on what you would like to see.
