How to Get Into a SECRET Lounge in EPCOT

In case you missed it, EPCOT’s 2022 Food & Wine Festival is in full swing! It lasts until November 19th, 2022, and psssttt — we have a secret to share.

After you sample all the new and returning eats and drinks (we’re partial to the Griddled Cheese from Greece or the Baked Scampi Dip from Coastal Eats), you might want to pay a visit to an exclusive SECRET lounge. So where is it and how do you get in? We’ve got all the deets!

Looking for a quiet spot to take a break during a busy day in EPCOT? Sponsored by Florida Blue Medicare, the Florida Blue Medicare Lounge is BACK at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, and this year it underwent some changes. You can find this year’s lounge in the former location of Restaurant Marrakesh in the Morocco Pavilion.

Restaurant Marrakesh

In 2021, the lounge was exclusively available only to Florida Blue members and their guests, but this year anyone can visit by applying for a guest pass. You can apply through the My Disney Experience app (just search “Florida Blue”) or by visiting the Florida Blue website. It’s totally free to apply!

To apply for a guest pass you must provide your name, email, phone number, and date of birth, and you must be 18 or older. One form is required per party, so you don’t need to apply for individual passes for everyone in your group.

When you get to the lounge, show your lounge pass to the Cast Member at the door, and they’ll let you in! The lounge is open daily from 12PM to 6PM, and here’s what it looks like inside! There are plenty of spaces to sit and relax in the cool air conditioning.

The theme of the lounge is to “renew, refresh, and recharge.”
