  • I love Howard Jones, and he mostly tours in England so this will be a real treat!
    It’s also great to see Roger Hodgson– a beautiful voice and beautiful songs.
    Overall your lineup looks great. Now just how can I spend two months in WDW?

  • This may be a weird question, but do the acts play the one song listed, or are they actually concert setlists? Thanks.

    Also, why the 3 time slots with just one banf each night?

  • I would love to see The Benny Andersson Band at Epcot.

  • I can’t wait to see Hanson 🙂

  • I saw Rick Springfield at Kennedy Space Center a few years ago, HE WAS EXCELLENT!!! Can’t wait to see him here.

  • Oh man! We enjoyed Big Bad last year (first weekend of event) and are planning to go back again this year but at the end of the event and were hoping to hear something new this time haha, oh well!

  • Looking forward to seeing Rick Springfield

  • I’ll be there for Disney College Program this fall! I’m so excited! I just met Sister Hazel and I can’t wait to see Rick Springfield! 🙂

  • Sounds like a good time!! Always wanted to go to the Food & Wine Festival and now I have MANY reasons to go!!!

  • HANSON!

  • We are getting really excited about attending the Food & Wine Festival again this year. This information just makes us more anxious. Do you know when the culinary and wine demonstration schedule comes out?

  • Thank you Disney!!! Sugar Ray, Night Ranger and Rick Springfield… Yay!!!!!

  • These all sound great!! Hope we can make at least one.

  • Hanson all the way!!!!!

  • OMG Hanson!!!! Sister Hazel was awesome, too, last time I saw them at Eat to the Beat. Great lineup!

  • Howard Jones!!!

  • Great to see some of the same ones from last year and also glad to see new groups. It will be awesome. Can’t wait.

  • I will be there for RICK SPRINGFIELD!!!! 🙂 I am looking forward to it. I can’t wait for November to get here!

  • I just had a friend totally geek-out over Hanson. I’m pretty excited about Cool and the Gang and Sugar Ray.

  • really bummed we’ll not get to see Taylor Hicks. He’ll be there a month too soon!

  • Rick Springfield!!!!!! Saw him in VA a few years ago and am so excited I can see him again!!! Wonder if he remembers what I did?? .38 Special, Night Ranger, Sister Hazel and Starship are awesome, but, RICK ROCKS!!!!!!!

  • HANSON!!!!!! I am SOOOOO excited!!!! I will be there FOR SURE!!!!

  • Can’t wait to see HANSON and experience my first food & wine festival!!!!

  • .38 Special, Night Ranger, Rick Springfield, Sister Hazel, Starship.

    Its really cool to see some awesome names on that list!!!

  • Hanson+Disney+good food…doesn’t get any better than that.

  • Great line up again this year. I’m happy to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy back at EPCOT. I was there when they opened the Festival last year and expect to see them at the close this year.

    I’m looking forward to the variety in music, acts, and eras in this line up.

  • upset that i’ll miss Kool & The Gang, but happy to see Billy Ocean. Great line up

  • We saw Kool and the Gang last year and highly recommend them they were brilliant! Really made our holiday….sadly won’t be back for while but can’t wait to start planning!

  • YES!!! I always book 11 months out (thank you DVC) and I always have a pot luck of who ends up performing that weekend. This year is a definite winner with Night Ranger! But there are so many other new awesome performers I want to book a few more trips.

  • I think my wife’s going to be really excited about Rick Springfield.

    I am hoping to get to see 38 Special or Night Ranger. Neither of them are listed as new, but I’ve never made any of their shows in the past.
