Disney News Round-up: New Wearable Gift Cards at Food and Wine Festival, Disney Casting a New Commercial, and More
Happy middle of the week! We have a lot to talk about in today's Disney news round-up including the wearable gift cards available for the 2016 Epcot Food and Wine Festival, Disney is looking for a family to cast in its new commercial, and much more.
Wearable gift cards at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival
Are you making plans to attend the 2016 Epcot Food and Wine Festival and wondering how to budget your money? Disney is once again offering a wearable Disney Gift Card that can be loaded with money starting as low at $15. Guests can also purchase a limited-release card activated with $200 that comes with a lanyard, case, and Food and Wine medallion.
If you want to know how much it would cost to eat and drink everything at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival, the answer is $823.96.
Disney is looking to cast a family for a new commercial! Requirements include parents aged in their 20s to 50s, and kids ages 8 to 16. The families will travel to Europe and will receive $2,500 per person plus travel.
The Disney Wonder is currently in dry dock and several enhancements are planned including additions to the Oceaneer's Club, preparations for the new Frozen-themed show, a new contemporary nightclub in After Hours, and more.
And finally from the "we can't make this stuff up files": a doctor in Michigan claims that riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad might help patients pass small kidney stones. Yes, really.

The wearable gift cards are a MUST for F&W festival goers.. We get them every year and they are a great convenience. I buy one for each day at the festival, so when the $$ runs out for that day, I call it a wrap...
I may sign us up for the chance at doing a Disney commercial. My two kids, Brenden and Mia are 9 and 12, respectively.
