Does anyone know when the tickets go on sale for the international food and wine festival? My parents are going and they are wanting to buy tickets but no one knows or are saying when tickets go on sale. Please help. Thanks

goofyfan1,
The Food and Wine Fest is not a ticketed event. You need admission into Epcot.
Included with Epcot Admission:
Wine and beer seminars, cooking demonstrations, special book signings at the Festival Center, Eat to the Beat! concerts, culinary and cultural exhibits, and all attractions and park entertainment are included with regular Epcot admission.

There are special dinners and tastings during the F&W Fest.
Special Programming by Reservation:
The weekly Party for the Senses grand tasting, Food and Wine Pairings at select Epcot restaurants, Regional Feasts, Epcot Wine Schools, Cheese Tastings, Sweet Sundays, and other special wine and culinary programs require reservations and separate admission.
Guests can call 407/WDW-FEST (939-3378) for information and to make reservations for special events and programs. Festival details are available at the Web site: disneyworld.com/food.

Hope this helps!

When we reserved our room at WDW I was told by central registration that if you had a ticket to get into EPCOT...you are covered for the event unless you want to individually buy tickets for specific venues that they have then you can call WDW (and the automated line on the phone will prompt you or stay on the line and someone can assist you!!
Some of the areas in EPCOT for this event are by ticket only and I understand some of the events are pricey...but if you just want to do sampling and see a lot of the demos., book signings it is all covered under your entrance to EPCOT!! Hope this helps!!! jaye

Last time I called about my ADR's, I asked about this. The CM said that they will start taking ressies for the the special events on August 25, and the specific prices and line-up should be posted on the website a few days (maybe a week?) before.
