Annual Passholder Benefits and Exclusives for Epcot Food and Wine Festival

This year’s Epcot Food and Wine Festival is full of treats for Annual Passholders – and this is in addition to all the food and wine goodies you’ll find at each Marketplace!

Annual Passholder Food and Wine Festival Benefits include two complimentary gifts, exclusive merchandise, limited Passholder Reserved Seating for Eat to the Beat Concerts, and brand new this year: Thank You Thursdays.

Annual Passholder Gifts

Make room on your car for one more Annual Passholder magnet — this time featuring Chef Mickey! If you’re an Annual Passholder, you can pick this up by visiting the Festival Center on your first visit to the Festival.

If you’re lucky enough to visit the festival multiple times this year, on your fourth visit you can stop by again to pick up your Chef Mickey Annual Passholder cutting board. For both items you will need to present your Annual Pass card and photo ID. One magnet and one cutting board per Passholder. Magnets and cutting boards available while supplies last.
