2009 Epcot Food & Wine Festival - General Reviews & Observations

[DisneyEveryDay]

If anyone here tries out the dish from Cape Town with the sweet potato puree, can you let me know if there was a strong banana presence in the puree?

Not at all. There was a presence of lemon though. It was sooo good! I have a pic of that dish posted on my blog for the Cast Preview. My signature banner will take you to it.

Did she mention how much that purse was? It's SO cute!

I was going to ask that too. Since I saw them in the merchandise post I knew that was going to be this years F&W item for me ! I'm hoping to get France.

Anyone have info on the Beer Passport? TIA

I was able to attend the Cast Preview Last night and put together an entire blog post with pictures of everything I tried.

I am new to the boards. This is my 1st post and I am not able to post a link to the Review until I have 10 posts so I can only suggest that you click the DisneyEveryDay.com banner in my signature to see the full review with photos.

Enjoy!

Fantastic pics and review! I can't wait to try everything!

You aren't wrong there. Two night on the trot I have been so very disappointed with my own dinner!!

 

[TheDISneyFamily]

The bags are around $30. Sorry, don't know the exact price.
Not sure how many there are for each country - but it's limited.

 

[Scrappygrrl]

OMG - MUST have that bag - will be there in 37 days - fingers crossed!

I'm subscribing to this thread. Love it! Going in 40 days. Wanna hear all I can before we go. Thanks for all the reports.

Since I foolishly didn't mention the Food & Wine Festival in my thread title, I'm going to shamelessly self-promote it here.

Cy de Chantrer's LIVE ALL-FOOD Burlesque Review

Also, a note about the bags -- they are very limited and I don't know if they are planning on releasing a few at a time but it looked like they were gone yesterday. Perhaps they're going to bring out some more at various points during the weekend but I wouldn't be surprised if they are sold out completely. They were very popular and the materials were limited to last year's banners.

Love the review. Bummer about the bags. I would have liked one.

 

[DisneyObsessive]

going in 18 days, bet at the festival in 19, thanks to all for your reviews and comments. is there a price list anywhere of samples yet, or can someone give me an idea what different things cost? I'm a F&W noob.

 

[oybolshoi]

I think those bags will be gone faster than Utopias samples at Party for the Senseless.

It's a bummer 'cause I'm sure there are plenty of folks going later (like Lori, and Chelsi, and me to name a few) who'd love to have one but I don't expect any to be left by October 14th when we first arrive. Oh well, just more money to spend on snackables.

DISNEYEVERYDAY you have a great review and pics.

Have others been since who can comment on the ability to use snack credits and whether the booths are cash only or take cards?
