Heading to Disney Sept 22-Oct 1 any one on here Planning on being there then? Food and wine will be a must at least 5 days out of the trip, espically since we have the free dining that disney offered. 2 counter services and 2 snacks is 8 snacksper day. Times that by 10 days is 80 snacks at food and wine, per person. you can trade 1 counter service for 3 snacks at a booth. Makes this trip an amazing food and Wine experience. Plus I would recommend if you like to drink bye the VIP badge, comes with 8 pull tabs a specIal pin and VIP seating to the nightly concert.

That is awesome! WAY TO SNACK! just wanted to mention that last year the sampler with the pull tabs did not come with the seating at eat to the beat, but did come with a very fancy pin. It was worth it for trying cocktails but make sure you do your math before buying

Info was released on July 11 last year.When are we expecting the seminar information to come out? I thought it was out this time last year but maybe I'm not remembering right.
We've never been to F&W. My husband is a chef, so I'm sure he'd really enjoy it. We're at Disney from August 26 - September 2, so I've planned for us to do Epcot on Aug 31, the first day of F&W. Should we expect it to be crazy busy that day?
I was way off, thanks!Info was released on July 11 last year.

Quick Service credits can be redeemed for three snack items in a single transaction at the booths. While that's a nice benefit, it rarely makes up for the value of a credit. You probably need to average over $6 per item to come out ahead. Also, not everything in the menu qualifies as a snack item; no alcoholic beverages are included.Hi there I will de there those dates.

I don't have a DP currently but was told by some nice folks in a thread I started that snack credits can be used for the food kiosk but can counter service credits be used for the food kiosk? Also what's the vip badge? Like I said this is first time to F/W.
are they worth getting and where can you find them or purchase them? I was originally just planning on bringing Disney gift cards to pay for the stuff at Food and Wine but maybe this is a better way to go about doing that. Any advice is appreciated.Quick Service credits can be redeemed for three snack items in a single transaction at the booths. While that's a nice benefit, it rarely makes up for the value of a credit.

You can purchase a set of coupons that hang around your neck. I'm assuming that's what the prior poster means by "VIP badge." You can purchase in 8- or 16- coupon options. Those coupons are valid for almost anything in the menu, including most alcoholic beverages. The break-even on that was about $6.75/item last year.

$6.75 may have been the break even point of the 16 coupon booklet. The 8 coupon booklet had a higher break even point $7.25 to $7.50.
