Celebrating Culinary Adventures from September 25 — November 8, 2009
In
2009, the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, presented by
Vanity Fair, makes its grand return, transforming the theme park into a
destination filled with the world's tastiest regional foods and drinks,
rockin' concerts, and unforgettable sensory experiences. Guests will
delight in tantalizing new additions — from the robust and exotic
flavors of Rio de Janeiro and Bangkok to world-class performers like
Richard Marx, Billy Ocean and Vanessa Carlton... who will take the
stage at the Festival for the very first time!
You can even pick up a Food & Wine themed Disney Gift Card
— a fast, easy and secure way to carry your money on your wrist, and
simply the best way to experience the Festival. Just load or reload the
card with any amount you desire, swipe — and you're spared the trouble
of getting out your credit card or cash any time you want to pay for
food, merchandise and more. Get it throughout Epcot at ticket booths,
Guest Relations, the Festival Welcome Center and a variety of locations
in the theme park where food and merchandise are sold.
The thrills at the ultimate dining, drinking and music event don't stop. Discover the many taste adventures that await:
