Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but is there a thread listing the Dissers who are attending events?

There is one on the main Restaurant board. I have asked that meet information and personal scheduling not be posted in this thread as it is for Festival information.

What are the chances that there will be a soft opening on Thursday? I think I remember one last year. Would the public be able to purchase things from the booths or is it just for CM and press. We'll be around all weekend, but I'd love a head start on eating my favorites!

Couple of questions for PFTS experts!

It's been several years since I've been to PFTS and the reserved seating and WVL is new to me. We have always done the "running of the bulls" to find a table. By the time we figured out we would be there for F&W all the reserved seating was sold out so we only have general admission.

Are there tables for the general admit folks or is it standing only - hopefully at high top tables at least? Is it still a mad dash for the tables? Taking 4 people who have never been to PFTS so I want to at least know what I'm talking about.

Thanks for the help!

There's one every year. It's a "cast preview" but anyone can purchase. Not every booth may be open, and they may not be serving every item.

Can't say for sure, this is the first year they have done the non-WVL reserved seating. I am assuming at least there will be high tables for the general admission to prop their food, but as to whether there will be tables and chairs, and how many? Can't say until the first party on October 6.

Forgive me if this has been addressed but I'm limited in the amount of time I can spend here....the nerve of my boss!!!

Is there a pdf of the festival guide available yet? I thought I saw one and now I can't find it.

Thanks!!

This is what they are calling the Festival Guide this year.

SO, no listing of food kiosks and menus. Shame.

 

[TDC Nala]

Disney's pre-released "guide" usually doesn't list the booths and menus. That is not the same guide pamphlet they will give out at the Festival itself. The ones you pick up at Epcot generally have a WS map and menus. And there are still no prices available for the booths. There is a map and list on

We should be seeing photos of the booth menu boards by Thursday if not before.

Thanks everyone for the information. I can piece together exactly what I need!!

I saw that. Not at all printable in a usable format. I have something from last year that had a map and all the booths, which was a PDF of the map they provided at the festival. I was hoping somebody would provide a copy of that, but I guess it's tough when you're going the first day.

Any update on the booth menu prices and dinning credits? Or do we still have to wait for later this week?

nevermind just saw the post above. Hopefully we'll see them soon.

Found this. It has almost all the booth's menus and prices.

That's great. Thank you.

The price increases aren't so bad. Although I'm not looking at how much the drink prices have increased (one by 2.00). I am surprised to see that the Canada filet is only 6.50 while the lobster roll is 7.50.

So does anyone have an idea what this means? Seems to suggest that the F&W Fest is only running on select Fridays and Saturdays not every one.
