I believe they have a limited release of a Chef Mickey gift card on a lanyard that comes with a matching Chef Mickey pin, however you need to put at least $250.00 on this card. I do not know if it is still available or if you would want to put that much on a gift card. I saw this info on the Disney Parks Blog site.Is the Remy card the only food & wine themed gift card? I may need to bring my old ones. Not a remy fan
Thanks! This I would like. I love the Disney gift card site where I can move funds from card to card so I don't need to keep a lot on one card.I believe they have a limited release of a Chef Mickey gift card on a lanyard that comes with a matching Chef Mickey pin, however you need to put at least $250.00 on this card.

I need to pick up a wristband at the event center to attend the tailgate party presentation.
Should I do that right at rope drop? Or can I hit Frozen and meet Elsa and Anna first?
Thanks!
Has anyone done the Tailgate party presentation?
I got this. It worked well. Used it for other things as well. it was nice to have easy access to pay. I plan to use lanyard on my next trip to hold my passholder cardI believe they have a limited release of a Chef Mickey gift card on a lanyard that comes with a matching Chef Mickey pin, however you need to put at least $250.00 on this card.

Well I had 6 days to snack at the booths in Epcot so I tasted a lot. Here is what we tried:
Favorites:
Mexico - short Rib tostado - Best thing I ate!; La Chancla (Sangria) - Loved this, was very refreshing; El Padrino(Blackberry Punch) Another refreshing drink - loved it too
Simmering Sips Mimosa Bar - Tropical mimosa
Flavors from Fire: Charred Chimichurri steak on Corn Cake - great flavors
Active Eats - Loaded Mac' n' Cheese - soo good and cheesy
Coastal Eats: Baked Shrimp Scampi Dip - oh man was this good! I finished it with a spoon
Chocolate Studio: Liquid Nitro Chocolate-Almond truffle - loved it
Australia - Grilled Lamb Chop - this was excellent
China - Xi'an Pancake with Beef - biggest surprise - very tasty
Italy - Fritto Misto - really liked this - crisp and well spiced sauce
Hops & Barley - Carrot cake with cream cheese Icing - OMG that icing!
Belgium - Belgium waffle with Berry compote - so good, crisp waffle and the berry compte was really good
Brazil - Moqueca (Seafood stew) This was really good! Great flavors
France - La Passion Martini slush - loved this!
Ireland - Roasted Irish sausage - I thought this was quite tasty, loved the potatoes and gravy with it
Canada - Wild Mushroom Filet Mignon - this was great - perfectly cooked for me (medium)
Tasted:

Oh okay. I didn’t know that. That stinks since we are going at the end of OctoberI think because Disney just raised the prices on some food across all the parks.

Sorry guys, it's my fault. I was browsing everything last night and I literally thought to myself, hmm, the wine flights seem a bit on the cheap side for Disney (even though they are like 1 oz pours).Price increases on some items...

I think this is in relation to the $15 pay increase. I think we will be seeing all food increasing across all of Disney. This is just the first round.This upsets me... why make those who chose to go during the second half of the festival pay more?? I understand that prices went up across the parks for other food and drink items, but these prices should have remained the same throughout the entire Festival!!
I heard it was across the board at Refreshment Port.Just curious-were any of the price increases on food or all on beverages? Maybe they did it because Disney was afraid that guests would make a special trip from MK to Epcot (such a short jaunt) just to save 50 cents on a bottle of water.
