It’s that time of year!
Okay, so it’s not exactly time for the 2015 Epcot Food and Wine Festival juuuust yet (that’s September 25 – November 16th this year). But is IS time for LOTS of news to come out in anticipation of the event!
Just last week, we brought you word of NEW booths and dishes set to debut at this year’s Festival, along with the full Eat to the Beat line-up and lots of other great news!
Today we’re happy to confirm a few more booths that will be returning to this year’s Festival!
Fan favorites including Poland (and those terrific Pierogies), Belgium (Waffles!), and Hawaii (Kalua Pork Sliders, anyone?) will all return again this year as part of the Festival’s 20th Anniversary celebration.
Kielbasa & Potato Pierogie with Caramelized Onions and Sour Cream
The Kalua Pork Slider from the Hawaii Booth is a Family Favorite
Additionally, it has been announced that the Party for the Senses will be returning to the Festival every Saturday in October!

Will there be any gluten free food selections?
Tracy — There usually are. Last year they were noted in a special menu. We’ll keep you updated!
In one of your other updates, you mentioned the new French lunch experience being offered on the weekend, with promises of more information to come. No other site has even mentioned this as being an option. Any more info on it?
Are there no Party for the Senses scheduled for Nov 7 or 14?
FRUNCH/French Family Meal Traditions—I assume the latter replaces the former. Here you say Fri and Sun, but on Prepschool it says Fri and Sat. Can you confirm? And I assume if you’ve said nothing else, there is nothing else to know, but I’m a bit sad about FRUNCH right now!! If FFMT (in my head, it sounds like pffmt, and that’s not good…) will be similar–wine pairings, explanations, 3 hours I’m game, but if it’s a play to be family friendly I’m not sure what to do with my Sunday afternoon now!
KIM — Re: the dates for the French Family Meal Traditions, Disney has it listed on their press release as Fridays and Sundays; Pam Brandon listed it on the Disney Parks Blog as Fridays and Saturdays. We tend to go with the press release dates as the correct dates. These things are always subject to change, however.
Barry — Currently Disney has only announced Party for the Senses as Saturdays in October. This is still very early in the season and things can definitely change.
Erin — No more info as of yet. This has been announce officially by Disney, and I have been in contact with cast members in France who confirm it. It will happen, but the dates are subject to change currently.
Kim- have you heard if they will be offering the premium package for the festival for guests staying at the resorts/Swan and Dolphin? My husband loved being waited on by the runners at last year’s event. I loved the dance party and gifts. Thanks again for all the great info you are providing.

Tracy — We are still waiting to hear if the Premium Package will return. We’ll let you know as soon as we do! Thanks so much for reading — we’re really glad that you’re finding it to be helpful!
Will there be a DFB party this year?
When will the list of food and wine seminars be posted?
Edward — We’re waiting, too. 🙁 In recent years, they’ve announced the food and beverage seminars about one or two days before the booking becomes available. We’re hoping for earlier this year. Stay tuned to DFB or join our newsletter to get the info immediately.
And when have they historically started booking? Thanks.
Stephanie — Booking and narrator information is usually available by early July.
Have any details about the Rockin Burger Block Party been announced? I’d be totally cool with it if this party was included in the premium package this year. (Please bring back the premium package, please!)
When will the Chew be at the festival?????
Diane — Check out our post here with all the details!
