*2013* epcot food & wine festival 9/27-11/11

[Skoolie]

Thanks for your review. The part I highlighted was a joke last year. Potato crunchies were just crushed up potato chips! Was it the same this year?

Yes they were crushed up Potato Chips. I missed trying this last year but I love lamb and wanted to try it. Too bad it was overly salty.

I know I could just wait until we get there, but I'm just wondering how big (or small, as the case may be!) the size of the cheese soup at Canada is this year?! We cancelled our ADR at Le Cellier because we were really only going for the cheese soup! We might just have to buy ten servings of the F&W version instead!

The soup comes in a cup the size of a small ice cream cup - looks much the same as I remember from 2 years ago.

The only noticeable size reduction I have seen is the filet in Canada. Much thinner piece of meet.

im excited this is my first food and wine festival in disney!

At f&w asked for cup of ice & they refused!! Not even nicely, It's almost 90 degrees & very little shade, busy but not crowded. I am shocked by this.

 

[SuperNiceGal]

this is just a guess.. but the f&w thing is prob not a "disney owned" thing.. kinda like most of the countries restaurants?

Not all of the kiosks have the necessary supplies to provide drinks/ice. That's why many of them sell bottled drinks.

The Kiosks generally don't have ice. Now they should have been nice

My wife and I are attending Party for the Senses this evening. Could somebody please explain to me how we go about getting the reserved Eat to the Beat seating that comes with it? Thanks!

2 of the CMs were willing to give ice, a 3rd intervened. Yes, they should have been nice about it but I guess we were all really hot & short tempered! But other than that, F&W has been such fun & last night the 3d desert party was amazing!!

The way we have done it in the past is to get a wristband from where you check in for PFTS. The wristband is good for the 2nd? (not sure if it is first or 2nd) performance of the Eat to the Beat Concert.

We have only done this once since it is so far away from the World Showplace and it makes us late for the start of PFTS...

Hi! We're headed to the Food & Wine Festival later this month for our honeymoon. My fiance is a Chase cardholder, but I am not. Will they let us both in, or just him?

I believe guests are allowed, I don't know how many though.

Anyone have a picture of the souvenir beer stein you get when you buy a $12 beer?

I have the stein but don't have a picture online yet. It's 22oz. They're nice but not dishwasher safe. I'm using it right now...just wish I was still at FW.

Last year it was up to 10 guests, and I thought I read on here that this year was the same!

When DH and I go we just flash one Disney Visa and they let us both in, so you shouldn't have a problem.

Where is the reserved seating?

Where is the reserved seating?

Won't know for sure until Thursday... there will be CM's to direct you, though when you get there. I'm thinking far left towards the front?

Any reviews/pics/menus from tonight's PfTS? Will be there next week!

Are any tickets to the seminars available/held back to sell "day of"? A few we wanted to attend are sold out for purchase but I wasn't sure if each day had a set of tickets available?
