We were invited to be a part of a media event for the Food & Wine Classic at Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin on Saturday, October 30th, 2021. If you are a foodie and love specialty wines, this will be a dream for you. It is similar to Disney’s Food and Wine Festival, where there are booths with small plates. You can try different foods from Swan and Dolphin restaurants, and it is unlimited and included with your ticket price.

This is a yearly event, and if you missed it this year, you can look forward to it in 2022. If you are into all sorts of different kinds of food and drinks, this is worth it for you. If you do have special dietary restrictions, it may be more limited, but there is still plenty you can enjoy.
