Member Discounts Among Festival's 'delicious discoveries'

Sample mouth-watering, delicious, tapas-sized portions from around the globe as you travel through World Showcase. Disney Vacation Club® Member discounts are among the tempting ingredients in the mix for this year's Epcot® International Food & Wine Festival, celebrating 15 years of delicious discoveries Oct. 1-Nov. 14.

Member discounts range from $2 off wine seminars to as much as $3 off culinary demonstrations. As an added perk, Members may book these popular experiences beginning Aug. 25 before the reservations open to the general public on Aug. 27. Note that discounted tickets won't be available at the door of these experiences, so advance booking is required. Make reservations.

You can learn all about this year's festival offering - from the international marketplaces serving foods and beverages from more than 25 countries (including newcomers Belgium and South Korea) to the artists scheduled to perform in the Eat to the Beat Concert Series (Sugar Ray and Air Supply are among the standouts) online at www.disneyworld.com/foodandwine.

When attending the festival, be sure to pick up a Marketplace Discovery Passport. It's a fun new way to track your culinary travels by collecting unique stamps from each of the festival marketplaces, and it makes for a cool (and complimentary!) scrapbook souvenir. Plus, it's presented by Disney Vacation Club, which makes it that much cooler.
