2017 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival: August 31, 2017 - November 13, 2017

Is it worth getting one of those little trays from the Festival Center? There are a number of booths where I plan on saying, "Yeah, I'll take the lot," so I'm thinking the tray might come in handy, and it looks small enough to shove in my purse when I don't need it.

If you're gonna take the lot I would for sure! You have 2 hands and each item or drink will require one hand.

In the comments section of yesterday's DFB post, they say that they have confirmed the tasting sampler will be offered this year. Price(s) are not known yet though.

I'm thinking it will come in handy for booths like France, where I want the croissant, the creme brûlée, the goat cheese pudding, and two drinks.

LOL - I just finished looking closely at all of the Global Marketplace offerings. Before letting my DH peruse (he loves lamb & seafood - I don't eat either) my list has:
Food - 25
Desserts - 15
Beverages - 34
?maybe - 3

Humm......think that will be a problem getting through in 1 day!!! OMG......

Do we know the Marketplace closing times yet?

Normally it's park closing hour, regardless of whether there is EMH. No booths open during EMH, unfortunately.

That would be great - thanks. Need to work on a strategy.....

I have briefly read through. Please forgive me, I'm sure I missed it. Do the F&W Carts accept QS and Snack credits? Is there a map which gives that info when you enter Epcot. Thank you

All of the merchandise for the F&W Festival has been revealed. https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...se-for-22nd-international-food-wine-festival/
Not sure I like the Figment merchandise as much as previous years.

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

I've never liked the figment merch. Some of the other items look nice.

 

[Auntie_Maim]

Hmm, I don't see the Remy mug that was featured in earlier reveals of the merchandise. I'll worry about it when I get there. I'm hoping they have a poster, as I'd like to frame one and put it in my kitchen.

Can adult guests participate in Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak scavenger hunt? My sister would love this (she's an adult but is special needs, although it's not supper apparent) but I don't want to suggest it if they only let kids participate.

I agree. I loved this years flower & garden logo/designs. Very disappointed.

Yup, adults can definitely participate! You just buy it and redeem it at the designated merchandise places.

I love badges! We are definitely doing this.

There are some prices for the Dooney merch in the linked article if anyone was curious. I don't think the parks blog posted that info, at least not in the original post from earlier. Sometimes they will answer comments with prices on request.

As someone already indicated anyone can participate and my sister and I did last year. It was actually quite fun. And if you are pressed for time and/or can't find one of the Remys, you can actually just go to the stores where you redeem and they will tell you where all the stickers go on the map. In the past you could also purchase additional pins if you like more than the one awarded at the end.

I agree the Remy scavenger hunt is really fun. Some are hard to find! But as far as claiming your "prize" (the pin) you don't have to put a single sticker on the map. You could buy the map and walk right over and get the pin without looking for a single one. Also they do give you the map back to keep (if you want it - they just stamp the back as "complete") so you can continue the hunt.
