Thrifty Thursday: A Taste of Scotland

Guess what?!?! News about the 2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is starting to trickle in … and I’m starting to get excited! 

We all know that eating around the World Showcase during Food & Wine can be a thrifty way to enjoy lots of little bites for a small price, and this year will be no different … except you’ll be able to enjoy a taste of Scotland, too!! 

So far, there aren’t a ton of details about what you can expect from the booth, but rumors (and good old common sense) say that there’s lots of Scotch whiskey and possibly some haggis in small, manageable servings with equally manageable price tags.

And while there’s very little that’s free at Disney (ever), there are some cool freebies to be found during the Festival.

For example, the Marketplace Discovery Passport is a totally free, fun way to mark the booths are you eat around the world. And, though nothing’s been confirmed, free culinary demos and seminars will almost definitely be back for 2013. 

What’s your favorite low-cost experience during the International Food and Wine Festival? Are you getting excited yet?
