Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2015

This year, Ean and I went to Disney for our one year anniversary and got to try out Epcot's Food & Wine Festival. I've been several times, but Ean has never been. I was super excited to experience this with him and take him to all the many countries to try all the delicious cuisine.


We made it to 18 of the 38 destinations. That's almost half! I'd say we did pretty well, considering several of the destinations only had alcohol, and we were there mainly for the food.

Destinations we hit:
Cheese Studio
Greece
Desserts & Champagne
Hawai'i
Scotland
Australia
Mexico
China
South Korea
Germany
Poland
Italy
Japan
Belgium
Brazil
France
Ireland
Canada


My Festival Passport- our guide around the worlds!
This year was the 20th year for Epcot's Food & Wine Festival. They gave away special wine glasses to annual passholders who visited the festival at least 3 times. We had to pick up our Festival Passport (available to all guests to chronicle your journey around the World Showcase as you experience each station they have to offer), then get the book stamped on a special passholders page on three different days. On the third day, they took the page from us and gave us super cute souvenir wine glasses. We were a little worried because we couldn't get a stamp the first day we were there because we arrived at the park around 5, and the place to get stamps closed at 7. We had to go to Guest Relations to get a hard copy of our annual passes since we renewed them online. When we arrived at the park, the line at Guest Relations was absolutely ridiculous, AND we had FastPasses to Test Track that we didn't want to miss. So we decided against getting a stamp immediately. We did have time to get stamps the next two days, then go back on Tuesday to get the glasses, so it all worked out!

This is something we want to try and do every year as long as our income allows. It was an experience I was really looking forward to, and one Ean has now come to LOVE.
