Disney4me Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 We’re headed in to the “soft opening” of the 2014 Epcot Food and Wine Festival today, and we’re gathering some v. cool news that we want to share with our readers!Stay tuned the rest of this week for fun news and live updates as well as updated food pictures from the World Showcase Marketplace Booths!And speaking of those Booths, there are a few updates that we have to share with you that are NEW for 2014. Let’s start with beer…Craft Beer “Booth” Moves Into Odyssey CenterRemember, like, two years ago when Disney said they were going to do a “lounge” in the Odyssey Center during the Food and Wine Festival…and it never happened? Well, this may be the year!The Odyssey Center is typically only open for private events, but we’ve seen it used as an event space during past Festivals. This year, they’ve moved the entire Craft Beer booth into the massive space!Craft Beer SignWe’ll have more details (and inside photos) for you soon, but in the meantime, plan to stop at this “booth” for a little A/C and some brew before continuing on your way around the “World!”More signageOdysseyIn case you’re new to Epcot, you’ll find this location between Future World and the Mexico Pavilion.
