Eat to the Beat Dining Package

[catmandoo]

I see that the dates were announced today, anyone know how soon after they release the dining package info? I'm waiting on an October 3rd reservation in hopes of booking the dining package, but don't want to wait too long just in case.

Do they set some aside for this purpose or is it just what's available?

Thanks!

Yes they do set aside tables just for this. But Be patient they should be out any day now or by the end of the month when all special events are able to be booked for the Festival. I booked my special events for 2014 and 2015 towards the end of July the first day hey were released for DVC members and first day for the public for a few others.

We actually already had a trip planned in September for our 13 year (Dating) anniversary (Kind of an annual thing), but then found out Wilson Phillips (My husband's favorite band) will be there the first week of October, so for our wedding anniversary (Which is July 1), I booked him a surprise 2 day trip to see them.

We celebrate both anniversaries cause we were dating for 12 years before it was legal for us to be married, and didn't think it was fair to start over the numbers. So, double the celebration, and double the Disney trips, at least this year. I don't know how I'll manage the 10 days we'll be away from Disney between trips.

Awesome and Congrats!! Great surprise! Our anniversary is 11/3 so we always celebrate on our trips in the fall whether it falls on the dates or not. Also my hubby's bday is 12/7 so we celebrate that too. My bday is 7/28 and we avoid summer at WDW at all costs being we live in that sweltering heat in south Louisiana. Haha So we soemtimes celebrate my bday too in the fall. Hehe. Hope you both have an amazing 2 trips!!

Last year they had the benefit of priority seating for the Eat to the Beat concerts with the Festival Tasting Sampler. Seems they have removed that benefit this year and just want you to purchase a dining package. That kinda busts my buttons! I don't want a sit-down meal at the F&W. I want to eat around the World.

They have the premium package that includes so many tickets for the booths too and many other things are included. We loved the premium package in 2014 and 2015 but it is pricey at $199 a person. We still ate at our fave dining locations for TS Anytime we are at the festival too. Also they did fast passes for the ETTB concerts last year as well. We did a FP for Fuel but didn't need it anyway there was lots of seating left. No biggy we went to Epcot at least 6 seperate times in 2 weeks.
