EPCOTS food and wine festival

Today i received an email asking if i wanted to "officially" take part in EPCOT'S food and wine festival, of course i accepted the offer, i not only get to represent Australia as a whole at the festival, i also get to represent Melbourne and Victoria as i believe there going to be a main focus

here is what my role in tails...

Australia Exhibit Cast Member Roles

Wine Walk-About

(Guests can purchase a walk-about passport and experience a tasting tour of four Australian wineries. It’s an informal walk-through in which guests can have fun sampling different varieties of wine.)

• Interact with guests as you pour wine samples.

• Talk to guests about key points about the winery, wine flavors and descriptions.

• You’ll talk to small groups of guests at a time, as they wander from one walk-about stop to the next.

• It’s OK if you don’t know much about wine. We’ll take you through a short training class to learn about the wines and wineries featured at the walk-about so you feel comfortable talking to the guests.

Cultural Ambassador

• Interact with guests throughout the Australia exhibit.

• Have short conversations with guests about Melbourne in general and the exhibit icons: the Lane ways, Federation Square, etc.

• You’ll get training for this too, so you’ll be able to share key Melbourne facts.

• Our Disney guests love interacting with Cast members from around the globe. They’ll have all kinds of questions about your life in Australia and the differences you see in your home and the USA. This is a fun role that allows you to share your culture and meet guests from the US and beyond.

• You will also be trained to assist guests in downloading pod-casts to their cell phones and PDAs.All Australian Cast Members will be trained on both roles so their scheduler can move them around within the exhibit.

i was interested to know how the other countries, who aren't normally apart of the world showcase are represented in terms of pavilions at EPCOT though out the festival so i googled photos of it and i think i will be working at stalls like this one, but there was a bundle of different photos so who knows, i also read on Melbourne's tourism website that there will be " a purpose built Melbourne pavilion" so I'll just have to wait and find out!
