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

I guess I will have to see the buttons, but it definitely sounds disappointing lol.

No. You really don't.



In all seriousness, the buttons are a sad, sad replacement for the glasses. I'm still hoping against all hope that they come to their senses and give glasses as well.

I'd feel better if they didnt offer anything at all. Offering buttons does nothing but upset people

Yes, this is a significant downgrade from the glass tumblers which were offered last year.

Is there any info yet if there will be an AP glass available? Last year you got a glass if you visited 3 times. Any word on how it works and if available?

This year is a disappointment trophy aka a pin that says food and wine 2017...were, trade them with friends, wear them to social meetings...

We've never done the Food and Wine Festival before -- September will be our first. Noticed that you can reserve tables through Disney Dining -- is this recommended?

Reserving for seminars and special events? Absolutely needed, if they're not sold out already. The special events are separate from the booths and there is currently no way to reserve a table or anything of the likeness if you're eating from the booths.

Counting down the days 'till 31st August! Our holiday isn't until October but since we booked a package with free dining it will be interesting to see the reports on how easy it is to swap CS credits for snack credits at the booths this year - and whether it's still 1 CS credit = 3 snack credits despite the change to the dining plan. Only time will tell...

I've never been during Food and Wine. We are coming the last week it is there (first full week in Nov). I just read about Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak and would love to try it with my kids (DD7 and DD9). The description I read said "while supplies last". Should they still have some the last week or will they probably be all gone by then?
Thanks.

Unless they make fewer this year, it's unlikely that they will sell out. They typically have extra Remy pins for sale even after the festival ends.

Awesome, thanks! My kids typically aren't real interested in the World Showcase so I thought maybe this would make it more fun.

Not directly related to F&W, but if anyone is interested in booking Highway in the Sky at the Contemporary, the dates are up for October. It's only being offered on Sundays in October.

Oh, oh man... I hope you got the chance to sit down and have a drink from last year's glass before reading what's happening this year...

So excited to attend our first Food & Wine trip this year! Also our first WDW trip sans kids in 20 years!

Had been reading this thread page by page this month since this was a last minute planned trip. Somewhere read about an app you can download but for the life of me not sure what page that was on! Can anyone help? This thread is way too long to search through!

A couple pages back there was mentioned the disney shop parks app. It's for merchandise. If that's not it, do you remember what the app was for?

There is a Food & Wine app it is call WDW Food&Wine.

Although I loved Disney and F&W when my kids were younger it has been so much better now that my kids are adults. My youngest finally turned 21 this year so she will get to experience everything with us and I can't wait!
