The theme of the 2011 Epcot Food and Wine Festival is “Passport to a World of Flavors,” so of course you’ve got to pick up your passport if you’re visiting the World Showcase Marketplace Booths!
That’s right, the passport that Disney introduced last year is back again! And it’s FREE! The passport contains the menus for each World Showcase Booth and is a great companion as you make your way around the World. As you stop at each booth and sample the different foods, you can get your passport stamped and check off the foods and drinks you have tried!
Here are just a few of the fun, unique stamps you can get in your passport…
Pick up your passport at the Festival Center in Epcot’s Future World, or at any of the Festival Merchandise Location Booths.
Be sure to take notes so that you can remember your favorites for upcoming Festival days (if you’re lucky enough to head back!).
We even asked our friends over at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival Fans Facebook Page how they’re doing on their stamp collecting!
Thanks to Chantel B. for the tip that the Festival Center has a full set of stamps just in case you miss any at the booths!
This is a great keepsake for a scrapbook or an Epcot Food and Wine Festival Treasure Chest. What?! You don’t have a Food and Wine Festival Treasure Chest?? 😉
Are you collecting your stamps? Let us know how many you have in the comments section below!

You know, I haven’t really felt inspired to try this in past visits, but maybe I’ll give it a whirl in a couple weeks:)

I had the idea to make these little books – unfortunately Disney was already making them! 🙂 It’s a great idea and I wish I beat them to it.

A friend of mine from work picked up a passport for me last year when she was visiting in October. I forgot to bring it with me when I went to the festival. I hope I remember to get one this year.

You can also grab one at the DVC booth next to the Hawai’i booth near Showplace Plaza.
Also, I have an extra blank passport if anyone really wants one.

I was at the Festival Center Information Booth on the 16th when they were telling someone that they did *not* have a full set of the stamps, only *some* of them, in that location. I’m glad they seem to have remedied that since last week. This poor woman’s book had gotten soaked & ruined so she was going to have to make the rounds again to recreate it.

This was deviously clever on their part. I found myself going to some booths I would not have just to get stamps. I’m glad though. I rather enjoyed the stuffed cabbage at Poland. If I lived in the area I could see myself going back on multiple weekends just to finish my passport.
Cherry says
It was fun last year to collect the stamps and hopefully this year I’ll actually make it to all (sort of) the booths. I do have a question though, can you still get a completion stamp if you’re missing one booth? I know the question doesn’t make much sense but I can’t drink so I wouldn’t be stopping at the Craft Beer booth since they don’t have any food there. Just curious to see what the completion stamp looks like. 🙂
Kathy Coppola says
I got all the stamps and mentioned at the last booth that they were the last booth I needed to finish. They only gave me the stamp for their booth, not the completion stamp. Kind of disappointing. Do all the booths have the completion stamp, or do you have to go somewhere else (festival center?) for that one?
Noone says
Cherry: The booths will stamp your booklet even if you don’t buy anything. When we were at the Craft Beers booth this year, the stamp was with the beer servers so you might not even need to wait in the ordering line.
Kathy: Last year you had to go to the Festival Center info booth to get the final stamp. We didn’t do the booklet this year but I imagine it’s a similar setup, although the full set of booth stamps was news to us.
AJ: F&W hope chest?
Theresa says
Kathy,
Yes, you need to go to the Festival Center to get the completion stamp. I have a picture if anyone is interested…
AJ says
Theresa — Would LOVE to see the completion stamp!
Heather says
I did this last year and will definitely be doing it again this year!
