2024 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival Information and Planning Thread

The bands\people I had hoped to see arent even on the schedule this year.

 

[Dream Big Live Grand]

We have been waiting to see when Big Bag Voodoo Daddy were playing so I can book a bonus trip The Last two years we made a special trip from New York just to see them. They are not on the schedule this year. They have been playing there for years! Sorry Disney, you wont be getting any money from us, we will be staying home.

They were one of the bands I wanted to see. Foreigner's Journey was another one on my list......

It really is disappointing. We waited so long just to be let down

They have a lot of tour dates scheduled this fall. We've seen them at Disney as well as on tour for many years, they are a fun and talented group.
Still, it must be miserably hot in Florida wearing those suits. Maybe they opted for AC.

I’m so disappointed no big bad voodoo daddy they’ve played almost every year I cannot believe they’re not playing I thought it was strange that they didn’t have it listed on their website that they were playing in Orlando I thought that was a bad sign so disappointed was hoping to plan a trip just to see them they are one of my most favorite bands!! So very sad

Was just coming to post this info. Thanks for posting.

I know I said earlier that I did not care about the bands but... I am missing Tiffany by 1 day and I am really sad about that.

Can't move anything around because we will be at Universal those days so I just need to deal.

Seems like a lot of bands that usually play are not this year. I got lucky with our trip and will be seeing David Archuleta, Billy Ocean and Hanson. Can't wait

 

[sherlockmiles]

I know all of the bands will be great, and I'm excited for those that are excited for the newcomers.

It's time to admit to myself that I'm "old" and uncool ... I recognize maybe half of the entertainers scheduled. But I love what the concerts do for the overall atmosphere and am sure I'll be grabbing a Moonshine Sour from the Regal Eagle bar and enjoying some tunes. Hope more info is coming soon!

I saw her open NKOTB once and she wasn't good live. I was pretty disappointed.

Well, I need to make time for Hoobastank on arrival (I will be so tired) and Tiffany on our last night. Thankfully Yellowcard is on a day we already had planned for Epcot.

Wonder if Disney changed what they offer the bands for playing?

Does anyone know if the band The Wanted is the British boy band from awhile back? They haven’t done anything since one of their members died over a year ago and no social activity. Can’t find another group by that name either.

 

[Callie]

Yellowcard and Tiffany both happening over my trip! Tiffany isn't going to work out but Yellowcard sounds like fun, I think I'm going to switch a few things around to see them on that Monday.

Seeing The Wanted on the lineup is EPIC. I was a fan of them in the early 2010s and kicking myself that I had to reschedule my vacation away from this week! So happy to see them doing things again in wake of Tom's untimely passing... I'm sure he would have wanted them to continue making music and performing together.

I’m hoping we can get confirmation it is them.

I have the information on the Eat to the Beat Concerts and the dining packages listed on page 1 of this thread, posts #3 & #4.

There are three days that week with no artists listed yet, so there is still some hope!

And I hear you on that week, we're there Sept 27th- Oct 6th, and I only know one artist so far that week. That week used to be the week Sugar Ray was there pre-pandemic which we loved, but sadly that hasn't been the case post-pandemic.

Once again I miss all the good ones. I’ve been wanting to see Boyz II Men for years and can never make it happen. I seen Tiffany in 2019 and even though it was just ok I was hoping for better. This years is no one I’ve ever heard of. I would’ve also like 98 Degrees but they are on my birthday and unable to make it then. These are mine this year
