2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival Low-Cost Seminar and Demonstration Updates!
Every day brings us just a bit closer to the 2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival! 
And we’re getting to the point where nearly each week is starting to reveal a bit more information about the Festival as well.
Take, for instance, the 2018 Low-Cost Seminars and Demonstrations — Beverage Seminars, Culinary Demonstrations, and the new Food & Beverage Pairings among them.
Though we shared the scheduled presenters for these low-cost seminars in June, there were — as is typical upon release — a few presenters and topics listed as “To Be Announced.”
But now, most of those items have been filled in!
So if the dates you are planning to visit the Food & Wine Festival had some previously undetermined events, be sure to look over the Low-Cost Seminars and Demonstrations Page here to see if your dates have been updated so you can make sure you’re making the most of all of your Festival options!

Well, guess what? You can still take care of your cookie dough cravings even while you’re in Disney World, far away from your own refrigerator. Wanna know where? Here’s a (PRETTY BIG) hint… [Read more…]
