Everything You Need To Know About Walt Disney World's International Food And Wine Festival

There's more than just food booths at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival.

Of course you can't have a festival without music! The Eat to the Beat concert series serenades guests at the Festival each year. 2018's line up includes performances by Hanson, Billy Ocean and Kenny G. The shows take place in the America Gardens Theatre and you can also book the dining package to get priority seating to the shows.

One of my favourite things from the festival is the Remy's Ratatouille Hide ‘n’ Squeak Scavenger Hunt. The challenge is to find 15 Remys hidden around the park, each in possession of a different ingredient. When you find him, you stick the corresponding sticker next to the location where you find him on a special map. It costs $6.99 to purchase the official hide & squeak map. It's a great way to keep any kids in your party entertained as you explore the festival. You don't have to have a map to find him, but you can't claim your prize of a tumbler without it.

You can see celebrity and some of the USA's best chefs at 2 hour Sunday Brunch events. Tickets for these cost around $129 per person and include a buffet, Q&A and a Meet & Greet.
