I don't see anything there that looks all new.

I wanted to say there's something rotten in Denmark.

That definitely stood out for me, and I think there were a few other new things. Looks like New Orleans replaces Oklahoma for the featured taste from the US.

[oybolshoi]

I suppose it's too much to hope for that they would announce special dining events early this year, isn't it?

Hi Oybolshoi, It really isn't too much to ask...I mean, we have plans to make!

Oh I missed the note about New Orleans! Although I did read about this in our hometown newspaper. Not sure if it's a done deal or not. Here's the article that ran in the Times Picayune.

Disney kiosk may tout Louisiana culture
Tourism officials in talks to promote state at park
Wednesday, March 19, 2008
By Ed Anderson
BATON ROUGE -- The Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism is in talks with Disney World-EPCOT Center to staff a kiosk to promote the state's culture, food and drink starting Oct. 1 and running through mid-November, Chuck Morse, the agency's director of tourism, said Tuesday.
But it will cost the state $500,000 to $750,000 to showcase Louisiana at the Disney tourist destination in Buena Vista, Fla.
"We have been approached to do food and wine at EPCOT Center," Morse told the Louisiana Tourism Promotion District board, the agency that oversees how the revenues from .03 percent of the state's 4 percent sales tax is spent on tourism needs.
Morse said that the state will ask local convention and visitors bureaus "to buy into the program," reducing the state's costs and giving local areas a chance to show off their food and culture.
"We think this will hit our sweet spot," Morse told the board of the 45-day engagement at EPCOT.
The board went along with the proposal.
The state will be meeting in coming weeks with Disney engineers and artists who will design sets and backdrops of Louisiana landmarks for the event in the coming weeks, Morse said.
"This will be a good way to put our culture in display," Morse said. "This will help us clear the perception that we are still down from the storms (of 2005). This will show everybody we are open for business. . . . We are figuring out now how to make it happen."

Cute Bendy !

I love most versions of smorrebrod ! They're traditionally open faced sandwiches, (not too heavy on the toppings, more on the lighter side, so you can enjoy many different kinds at one sitting), that are topped with everything from gravalax (salmon), to cheeses, to pates. . . . . Yummy ! Looking forward to this one !

Thanks for posting that!

I would love to see some schedule and PRICES! I know what my little heart (and stomach) want but will it be possible!???? Please Disney Event People .. Some heads up would be great.... I have to see how to get my drink on ...

WOW! Thanks for this!

Wouldn't that be great!!!!

 

[shovan]

That is a new concert schedule! I'm in shock! I posted it as a separate thread. I wonder if the event schedule might actually be released earlier? Hopefully they will give us more than a week's notice before they start accepting reservations this year.

 

[BriarRosie]

I probably would pass out in shock if they released the events schedule more than a week before they release the events for booking.
