It’s no secret, we LOVE tasting all of the delicious snacks and drinks Disney World has to offer!
Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic
Many people are familiar with the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, an annual event that tons of guests (including us!) look forward to every year. But did you know that isn’t the only foodie paradise available on Disney World property?? In fact, there’s another event offered within walking distance of the Food and Wine Festival — and you don’t even need a park ticket to enjoy it!
Located within walking distance to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort offers guests a super convenient location right in the center of Disney World property.

But the incredible location isn’t the only great benefit guests will find at this hotel! Want to enjoy some awesome food without the EPCOT festival crowds? Well, the Swan and Dolphin Resort has a food and wine experience of their own, with no Disney Park Pass reservation required!

Unfortunately, this year’s Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic was canceled — but they’re still offering plenty of ways for guests to celebrate delicious food and drinks from around the world!

What if we’re already staying at the dolphin? Can you just buy a ticket to the event?
Amber, the fine print on the official page for the event says tickets are only available as a resort package, but perhaps you can just add them to your current stay. I’d give them a call!
