EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival is officially underway.

We were there on opening day and reviewed every booth. You can participate in Remy’s Hide and Squeak to earn a prize or collect stamps for the cheese crawl for a sweet treat. But it can be a long day with the festival so you want to be prepared.
We asked our readers “What are your must-haves in your park bag for a day at an EPCOT Festival?” and we’re sharing their answers with you. Friends help friends — am I right?
Water Bottles
Many readers said “water bottle” is a must have in their park bag for a festival day. It can get hot and with walking around the World Showcase, you’ll want to stay hydrated so you can enjoy the festival. We recommend packing a water bottle like these Disney ones from Simple Modern on Amazon.

These 22 oz bottles come in a few different Disney designs. They are stainless steel and insulated so it will keep your water cool all day long.

Your ID
A few readers pointed out that you will need your ID for purchasing alcoholic beverages from the festival booths. You can pack it in a smaller wallet inside of your bag for easy access. This Disney Snack Loungefly Wallet is a great option for holding your ID, cards and cash for all your festival needs.

It has 7 card slots, a cash pocket and a change section with a zipper. This can keep everything you need organized in your bag.

Our readers are smart, and they aren’t willing to waste any festival food. A few mentioned bringing food containers in your bag to take leftovers home with you. This 4 Pack of containers from Amazon are a good option.

These have small compartments inside of them to divide up food. Eating at the festival is great, but what’s even better is having left overs to snack on in your Disney hotel.
