The 2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival is the event that Disney World Food Lovers — us included! — wait for all year long! And it will be here before you know it!

Summer is a busy time here at DFB, as we’re on the lookout for all of the latest festival news. And this year promises to be as massive and grand as ever, spanning 75 days, and even reaching into August. We can’t wait!

And I know you can’t either. But we gotta. 😉  So in the meantime, we’ve set out to offer you some super helpful tips as you gear up for another memorable Epcot International Food and Wine Festival.

They come from the DFB Guide to the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival e-book. This year’s guide is available for pre-order ahead of the festival. And when you pre-order your 2018 guide, you’ll receive the first cut of the 2018 guide as an immediate download, so you can get started with your planning right away, even as we continue to gather the final details for this year’s Festival!

Today’s handy tips come courtesy of the guide’s helpful Frequently Asked Questions section.
