🛍️ Merchandise & Souvenirs

What you taste — and how you spend it — is completely up to you.


🍷 Departure Depot's Suggested Tasting Trail

With dozens of marketplace booths and festival experiences throughout EPCOT, we recommend sampling your way around World Showcase rather than sitting down for one large meal.

The fun is trying a little bit of everything.

🇨🇦 Canada

Look for Canadian-inspired dishes, savory favorites, desserts, and wine selections.

🇫🇷 France

Explore French-inspired small plates, pastries, desserts, wines, and specialty beverages.

🇮🇹 Italy

Look for Italian favorites, regional wines, pasta-inspired dishes, and seasonal festival specialties.

🇯🇵 Japan

Explore Japanese small plates, sake selections, specialty drinks, and creative festival offerings.

🇲🇦 Morocco

Discover bold North African and Mediterranean-inspired flavors, desserts, and specialty beverages.

🌎 And Keep Exploring...

Part of the Food & Wine experience is discovering something you weren't planning to try.

Don't spend your entire $100 at the first stop!


🍴 The Departure Depot $100 Tasting Challenge

How far can you make your included Disney Gift Card go?

Our suggestion:

4–6 Global Marketplace Tastings

2–3 Wine, Cocktail or Specialty Beverage Stops

1 Signature Dessert

And save a little for that unexpected favorite you discover along the way.

Sip a little. Taste a little. Keep strolling.

That's what EPCOT Food & Wine is all about.


🎆 Stay for the Fireworks

Make a full evening of it.

Guests are encouraged to stay and experience EPCOT's nighttime spectacular before returning to Bonnet Creek.

Our final motorcoach departure is scheduled to give you time to enjoy the show and make your way to the designated Lamers pickup location.

🙌 Departure Depot Guest Expectations & Travel Style

Departure Depot trips are designed for socially active, flexible, experience-focused travelers who value convenience, exceptional experiences, and curated group travel.

Our departures combine premium accommodations, special access, hosted activities, and specially negotiated pricing to create vacations that would often cost substantially more if booked independently.

Guests who are flexible, positive, and excited to experience something special consistently have the best trips.

Group travel occasionally requires flexibility. Transportation schedules, resort operations, Disney schedules, restaurant arrangements, weather, traffic, and other circumstances may require adjustments to the itinerary.

Departure Depot will make reasonable adjustments when necessary to keep the experience running smoothly.


🛡️ Trip Protection Requirement

Trip Protection is required for this vacation package and is automatically included during checkout.

If Trip Protection is declined, a:

$400 Per Reservation Room Block Recovery Fee

will apply to cancellations, no-shows, or guests who fail to travel.

This fee helps offset contracted resort accommodations, transportation, EPCOT admission, hosted dining commitments, and other prepaid components reserved specifically for your vacation.

Important Information

  • Trip Protection is required and will be included during checkout.
  • Guests who decline Trip Protection acknowledge responsibility for the $400 Room Block Recovery Fee if the reservation is canceled or results in a no-show.
  • The Room Block Recovery Fee is not travel insurance and does not provide cancellation benefits or reimbursement.
  • Guests should review all Trip Protection coverage documents before travel.
  • Third-party travel insurance policies may contain different exclusions or limitations.

Because this getaway includes resort accommodations, theme park admission, transportation, hosted dining, and other prepaid components, cancellations become increasingly difficult to replace as departure approaches.

Trip Protection helps protect both your vacation investment and the accommodations and experiences reserved for your reservation.


🏨 Accommodations & Resort Partners

Accommodations are provided through third-party hospitality and resort partners.

For this getaway, accommodations are scheduled at:

Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek

Guests will stay in:

Two-Bedroom Units

Room layouts, bedding configurations, views, furnishings, décor, building locations, and resort conditions may vary based on property configuration and availability.

Photos used in marketing materials are representative of the overall destination or resort experience and may not reflect every individual accommodation assignment.

Guests experiencing an issue during travel should immediately notify Departure Depot staff and/or the resort so concerns may be addressed in real time whenever reasonably possible.


🚫 What's Not Included

  • Meals except the included Disney Springs Welcome Dinner and applicable Resort Welcome Session meal
  • EPCOT food and beverages beyond the included $100 Disney Gift Card
  • Additional theme park admission
  • Personal expenses
  • Transportation outside scheduled Lamers motorcoach service
  • Ride share or alternate transportation
  • Travel protection beyond coverage purchased during checkout

⚠️ Important Notes

  • Significant walking is required at EPCOT.
  • Comfortable walking shoes are strongly recommended.
  • EPCOT attractions, entertainment, festival marketplaces, menus, nighttime spectaculars, and operating hours are controlled by Walt Disney World and are subject to change.
