From Nicole,

I mentioned to Sally that I read about special disney wine and food festival mini gift cards that are very small and come with a wrist band to attach to your wrist. I'm planning to get one to use in paying for the wine and food festival kiosk tapas to avoid fumbling with cash under the influence of alcohol. It looks like you buy them at the epcot wine and food welcome center. I'm not sure how they attach to your wrist. I read that you can move money from existing disney gift cards onto them.

You can even pick up a Food & Wine themed mini 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 from $5 to $1,500, 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.

FANTASIA MINI-GOLF COURSE LINK

The fantasia miniature golf course looked really interesting. Not sure if we'll have any time though... Disney's Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course Located within the Epcot Resort Area, Disney's Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course is a miniature golf course consisting of 2 courses: Fantasia Gardens and Fantasia Fairways. Although subject to change, prices are $12.00 USD per 18-hole round for adults, and $10.00 USD for children 3 to 9 years of age. Both courses are open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Fantasia Gardens: Inspired by Disney's classic animated movie Fantasia, Fantasia Gardens includes many characters from the film — including hippos that dance and broomsticks that march — in some of the film's most memorable scenes. Several holes include dazzling water effects and some even reward good shots with musical tones.

"First, understand that the regular EPCOT offerings are still available during the Food Fest, lest Stan despair of missing the Oktober Fest at the Germany Pavillion."

"As I recall the portions cost $4-7, depending on the particular item. The wine and other adult beverages were similarly priced. If you have ever been so fortunate as to attend French Quarter Festival, the Second Happiest Place on Earth, the atmosphere and prices are similar. Well, the entry fee is higher at EPCCOT. And the music may be better at FQF...? But, the company at EPCOT is priceless!!" Bippity-Boppity-Boo John
