park passes/special events

[mousemahoney]

I am trying to plan how much we'll be spending on tickets. We are just buying the MK passes for the days of Friday and Sat. and would like to attend the food and wine festival at epcot at night (Mom will babysit ) Do we have to buy a park pass for epcot or do they sale just food and wine festival tickets? The same question for Mickey's not so scary halloween party..since we will already have purchased the mk passes do we have to buy special tickets for the Halloween party?

The outdoor festival around Epcot World Showcase includes 23 international food
and wine marketplaces. Special evening experiences include the new Reserve
Dinners, Winemaker Dinners and Grand Tastings that feature wineries and cuisine
from visiting chefs and Disney chefs. Winemaker Dinners are $75 per person plus
tax (including gratuity); Reserve Dinners are $125 per person; and Grand Tastings
are $60 per person. Epcot admission is required.

Every day there are free culinary demonstrations and wine seminars that allow
Epcot guests to interact with some of the world’s finest chefs, winemakers and
culinary experts.

Along with wine, more than 30 international beers will be poured, and BudWorld,
located at International Gateway, will offer an in-depth look at the brewing process
with free, 30-minute classes every hour on the hour.

Festival guests get an added treat. Epcot is the focus of Disney’s year-long
millennium celebration featuring sights, sounds and tastes from around the globe.

Admission to the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, including the culinary
demonstrations and daily wine seminars, is free with the regular Epcot admission
of $46, plus tax. Guests can call 407/WDW-DINE for information or reservations for
special events and programs.

Single day tickets do not allow you to hop between parks, so YES, if you want to go to EPCOT in the evening, you will have to buy a ticket to EPCOT. There are no special tickets for just the Food & Wine Festival.

MNSSHP is a separate, hard ticketed event. It is not included with regular admission to the MK.
