I forgot it was the pin that came with the sampler. There was alot of drinking and purchases made. Easy to get them mixed up.
Just wanted to clarify for other posters since all the chatter about the GC's, Sampler & such were starting to get jumbled together.
So from all the recent posts to sum things up:
There is a special $200 Disney F & W Festival Gift card available for purchase with Cash or CC only. It comes with a lanyard with a special F & W Festival themed medallion & a card holder pouch. No pictures yet so we don't know what this year's will look like. The Gift card can be used on any purchases anywhere Disney gift cards are accepted, it doesn't have to only be used for F & W Festival purchases.
There is a different special F & W Themed Gift Card you can purchase usually comes on a wristband & is a smaller size than regular gift cards. Can be purchased only with cash or CC. Can be used anywhere Disney Gift Cards are accepted.

There is a Tasting Sampler Package that will be available for purchase for $65 + Tax. You will receive a special credential with 8 coupons that can be redeemed for Festival Food & Beverage items at the 35 official F & W Festival Booths/ Locations. It also includes a limited release F & W Festival Trading Pin. Minimum purchase to break even on the 8 items is $8.13 per item, figure the tax paid on the package covers the cost of the pin. Excluded items in the past have been all Beer Flights, Wine Flights or Samplers, The Palette Food & Wine Sampler, Champagnes & Kurt Russell Gogi Wines. The explicit details will be printed on the sampler credentials. Locations in the past NOT honoring the entitlements include the Joffrey's Coffee Kiosks, Refreshment Cool Post at the African Outpost, Block & Hans, Fife & Drum, Refreshment Port, Chocolate Experience & Intermissions Cafe inside the Festival Center and all other regular EPCOT Kiosks, QS Locations & Restaurants. First few days of the festival there have always been reports of some of the outdoor kiosk locations accepting the coupons but they aren't supposed to & have always stopped accepting them within the first few days.

None of these items are available to pre-purchase prior to arriving at the F & W Festival.
Thank you! I'm so excited!
