While you’re savoring and sipping around the world during the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, we have a cool new way to experience the culinary extravaganza this year.


Through a collaboration with Facebook, we’re adding a new feature to this year’s festival experience – Facebook Place Tips. As you taste your way through 30 Marketplaces in World Showcase and Future World, Facebook Place Tips will appear at the top of your News Feed within the Facebook mobile app.

You’ll see information about the Marketplaces you’re visiting, such as menus, festival maps, event information and more.
