D23's Sip and Stroll at Epcot 
Sunday, October 18, 2009

Join D23 at Epcot at the Walt Disney World Resort during the annual Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, as we raise a glass to our Charter Members and their friends and family.

This exciting day begins in the exclusive D23 Hospitality Suite, where Members can relax and enjoy engaging presentations from some very special guests, including Marketplace Cookbook editor Pam Brandon, Epcot Vice President Dan Cockrell, and Marianne Hunnel, the woman who leads the team behind the Festival — with some truly magical surprises mixed in along the way! Following these behind-the-scenes presentations, guests will receive a gift card, which they can use to "sip and stroll" through Epcot's Food & Wine offerings to create a personalized Festival experience!

After lunch, attendees can savor one of two Food & Wine sessions — a mouth-watering culinary demonstration or a palate-pleasing wine tasting — exclusive to D23 Members and their guests. Afterwards, with dusk descending, guests will head over to the American Gardens Theatre to enjoy reserved seating for Jon Secada's "Eat to the Beat" concert. After the show, they'll indulge in a private D23 "Party for the Senses" — the Food & Wine Festival's signature event — reserved for our Members and their guests! Each delicious dish will be complemented with its own wine and/or beer pairing, and a live, three-piece band will entertain throughout the meal. After a day of culinary and musical highlights, it's then time to top it all off with a VIP viewing of IllumiNations featuring a mouthwatering specialty dessert, the perfect backdrop for mingling and reminiscing about the day's adventures.
