I'm sure this has been covered, but did they do away with the Chase reserved seating for Illuminations?? Trying to decide if it's worth a FP+! Thanks and sorry for busting in on the food pics with a boring question!

 

[BeerMe]

Looking forward to hearing about the breakfast - Chefs de France correct?? We are going Oct 5

Its very good. I'll post more tonight but just want to add that there are unlimited mimosas.

Reading all these wonderful posts is just adding to my excitement!!! 8 more sleeps for me. Can't wait to sample some of the new dishes and of course some of my "old" favorites!!

Hi all. Has anyone seen the chicken chunks with pineapple sauce from the refreshment port (or seen pictures of them)? They're about $8, so I was wondering if the portion size was larger than most of the other items. I checked the disney food blog and the pix on wdw info, but neither has the chicken.

My two favorite entrees/proteins are missing this year (ropa vieja from the caribbean, and coq au van from france), so I'm looking for something new. i'm sure i'll try lots of different stuff, but there is one night when we have fast passes in FW around dinner-time, and the refreshment port is pretty close to the walkway to FW, so i thought these might be a good dinner option.

2.5 weeks to go! i can't wait!

Thanks!

I have not seen the pictures or these actual food items but I did feel the pineapple fritters were a fabulous deal from there- you got two large rings of pineapple battered and fried for the $1.99. The amount for the dole whip from there was also decent for the price so you may have a pretty good chance of it being actually small meal sized.

There is Unibroue. Not at the Canada Food Booth but at a separate beer stand just a little way past the food booth. I took this picture Thursday evening so the lighting isn't great. la Fin du Monde, Ephemere Cherry and Trois Pistoles

Thanks for posting. I know some people were wondering if they were checking for the Disney Chase Visa specifically. Do you know if they were, or was it and visa or any Chase visa?

I do not know specifically. I do know all she said was 'may I see your Chase Visa'. I barely flashed it and she did not study it. Mine is a Disney Visa.

Yep. I enjoyed a la fin du monde from there today.

I read in several different articles that all Chase cardholders are accepted.

Went to the booths yesterday and today. It is busy, but not bad. The lines move pretty fast. Lots of nice, friendly CMs.

Here now -- ditto this!

Were they doing wristbands for Illuminations? Eat to the Beat? If so, what was the procedure? I read elsewhere they're not doing it like last year...

Last year it was ALL Chase Visa cardholders so I would expect the same is true this year!

We went late in the afternoon and didn't inquire about the wristbands.

It actually has it as chicken and French fries or shrimp and French fries. Didn't order it - but it looked like a small entree size - bigger then a sample for sure.

They included French fries too. They looked like a small entree size...probably enough to satisfy light appetite.
