Ultimate Disney Fan’s Guide to Party for the Senses
Are you a Disney fan? Do you love food, music, and the arts? Well, the Party for the Senses event is perfect for you!
Disney is constantly searching for ways to enhance each and every guest experience. Are you a huge fan of Illuminations? You can rent a private boat for up-close exclusive viewings of the show. Do you have a huge pirate fan in your travel group? You can sign he/she up for The Pirates League! Does your daughter dress up as her favorite princess during playtime? You can give her the royal treatment with a pampering at Bibbidy Bobbidi Boutique.
There really is no shortage of ways to take your favorite experiences to the next level, and if Food and Wine Festival is your favorite event, Party for the Senses is the best way to enhance it!
Back Again!
Returning again for the 2018 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, Party for the Senses is the hard-ticketed event created around my favorite subjects to talk about: food and wine! The most sophisticated and elegant of in-park hard-ticket events returned on September 22, and if you’re like my friend whose upcoming vacation lines up with the Party, you’re probably wondering …what exactly is it…?
What is it?
Party for the Senses is the epitome of the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, as it unifies each and every aspect of culinary mastery that serve as the inspiration for the Festival. Taking place on just 5 evenings (September 22, October 6, 13, and 20, and November 10), this all-out celebration of food and wine starts with a check-in and a reserved table seat!
A ‘feast’ doesn’t do the party’s dinner justice. Picture this: you and your closest comrades are invited to an exclusive, invitation-only dining experience. The chefs who is spearheading the operation are the Orlando area’s most acclaimed, and they are taking the evening off from preparing food in their top-rated kitchens to cook for you.
Before, during, and after this chef-prepared feast, you will be served artisanal cheeses and chocolates that have been flavor matched to the wines!
After your chef-prepared meal has been prepared, served, and explained by the man/woman behind the stove, it’s time for some post-meal entertainment! Actually, the post-dinner private show is in fact the second bit of entertainment that’s included with your party ticket.
Before dinner, your ticket guarantees you a reserved seat for that evening’s Eat to the Beat concert! Post-dinner though, the exclusiveness associated with the event really comes to fruition with a private performance by Bella Electric Strings! The all-female violin quarter will perform a high-energy, pop/rock set specially designed to accompany the Party for the Senses…cool!
A Seating Option for Everyone
A reserved table in an exclusive event space inside EPCOT, reserved seating for an Eat to the Beat concert, a specialty chef-curated meal, top-level bar service, wine and cheese pairings, and a private concert make this event one with the most offerings (and longest time frame!) of any across the Resort!
There are two levels of seating options available to choose from, so be sure to read through the details about each before choosing which is best for you.
