Disney fans who are also Chase credit or debit card holders, will be happy to hear that the Food and Wine Festival lounge has returned. Relax with complimentary amenities, electronic charging stations, air conditioning, and more. The only question I have is why don’t they do this all year long.
Press release below:
Chase today announced that as part of its multi-year agreement with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, U.S., it continues as the presenting sponsor of the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. Guests attending this marquee culinary event can experience cuisine from around the world, taste specialty wines and spirits and enjoy daily live entertainment.
The 19th Epcot International Food & Wine Festival presented by Chase, running from September 19 through November 10, 2014, will again offer Chase debit and credit cardholders, including Disney Visa cardholders, exclusive access to the Chase Lounge at the Festival. The lounge, located on the third floor of the American Adventure Pavilion within the Epcot World Showcase, offers an inviting space to relax, enjoy complimentary beverages and charge personal devices at an increased number of charging stations, among other amenities exclusively for Chase customers. The lounge will be open daily during the record-setting 53 day Festival from 11 a.m. to park close.
Celebrated for its inspired food-and-beverage marketplaces, high-energy concerts and premium dining events, the Festival will sizzle with a variety of ethnic and specialized marketplaces. Guests will be able to pair wines, beers, cocktails and “mocktails” from many countries as they stroll the World Showcase Promenade and earn stamps on their complimentary festival “passport” souvenirs.
Celebrity and Disney chefs will present culinary demonstrations, and beverage experts will host daily wine tastings and mixology seminars for a nominal fee. Eat to the Beat concerts starring pop bands from several decades will rock the festival party each evening.
“We are delighted to again offer an exclusive lounge for our cardholders attending this one-of-a-kind event,” said Steve Pamon, head of Sports & Entertainment Marketing, Chase. “Located in the center of the Festival, the lounge is a great place for customers to rest, recharge and relax while making their way around the world of Epcot.”
The sponsorship of the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival extends Chase’s long-term relationship with Disney that includes the Disney Premier Visa Card, Disney Rewards Visa Card and Disney Visa Debit Card. All Disney Visa Cards offer access to amazing perks 365 days-a-year when visiting Walt Disney World Resort and the Disneyland Resort, including a Character Meet ‘N’ Greet at a private Cardmember location and special savings at Disney’s U.S. Theme Parks and Disney Store locations and DisneyStore.com. Cardholders can also choose from various magical card designs featuring some of the most beloved Disney Characters.
