What You Need to Know BEFORE You Book Your Epcot Food and Wine Festival Events!

Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival kicks off on August 30, 2018, and will tantalize taste buds until November 12! That’s 75 days of food, drink, and special events and experiences that, frankly, we don’t want to miss.

2017 Epcot Food and Wine

Booking for Epcot Food and Wine Festival events opens on June 14th at 7AM for the general public, and on June 12th at 9AM for select affinity groups like DVC members, Annual Passholders, and Tables in Wonderland members; and that means it’s TIME TO PLAN TODAY!

If you want to make the most of your visit to this uber-popular festival, you can’t wait until you step foot into the park to sort it all out. Last year’s festival had 35 food booths and more demonstrations, seminars, and special events than ever before, and 2018 is shaping up to be even bigger!

Here’s what you need to know about booking Epcot Food and Wine Festival events…

First, you’ve gotta know when you’ll be visiting the park and what’s happening while you’re there. Every day of the Festival is packed with add-on experiences like food and beverage pairings, culinary demonstrations, and even some fun for the kiddos. Check out our 2018 Food and Wine pages for up-to-date schedules of events, descriptions and reviews of events, and associated costs. Then, make yourself a list of things you’d love to do and when those things are happening.

When the booking window opens, you’ll want to start trying to get through to Disney ASAP. And if there’s something you absolutely must do, we recommend covering all of your bases. Get a couple of phones on hold with Disney while you also go online to see what’s available there. If you see something on your must do list, jump on it!

We know what you’re thinking: “DFB, are you for realz? Two phones and the internet? That’s straight up kookydooks. ” Friend, while we appreciate the Moana reference, the reality of Food and Wine special events is that they sell out super fast. So if you’re not feeling flexible and willing to take whatever is left after the first mad rush, you’ll want to do what you can to get into that rush yourself.
