Ireland Menu Board showing only 1 pour size (3 oz) at $3.50,

Same is true for Moosehead at Canada booth.

That 3 oz is a typo correct? There's no way they can charge $3.50 for 3 oz of beer ...

Wow, so it looks like they are only serving 3 ounces not even the 6 ounces we heard!?

No, my mistake it is 6 oz. I had 3 on the brain for the money.

Yes, typo. I'm still on first cup of java.

It doesn't say 3oz or 6oz so I don't understand how people think it's a 3oz. I would think at that price it would be a 6oz. I guess we will find out soon enough.

Photos I saw were sent to me by a friend who is there and I won't post someone else's photos unless they say I can. I don't post photos on the DIS anyway, it's a pain to link them to another photo site. especially when using an Ipad and I don't use the desktop much.

It's a 6 ounce. Not 3.

 

[Brocktoon]

Yes, typo. I'm still on first cup of java.

Whew! ... There are very few things that would keep me from hitting F&W year to year, but for a beer lovin' guy like me, the 3 oz may have been a nail in the coffin

There will be some angry beer drinkers. Waiting on reports from the Beer Odyssey.

The menu boards are starting to show up on Twitter.

Is there a 2014 map up anywhere yet? I'm making a checklist (nerdy, I know!) and I want to go in order.

 

[Docmom]

How busy does it get on the first day? We're semi locals now (45 minutes door to door) and have demos scheduled for next week but I'd like to try to go tomorrow if it's not too crazy historically. DH works from home so we could go early. We stayed onsite last year (prior to move) and it seemed like it didn't get too packed until after 5 or 6pm, but we were there on weekdays.

Hmph....What do they think they are...a MLB/NFL/NBA Stadium?

i'm looking for the 2014 map, too. i'm like you, working on creating a list of pavilions and food booths in the order of how we will be walking around Epcot, then a back-up list of the food for each of those booths in order. Then we're going to highlight the food we really want to try. Don't want to miss anything super yummy.

i would think someone would be able to snag a current map. Or, they should be out tomorrow.

Does that mean that they aren't going to have the souvenir mugs?

 

[Pinkzeppe]

I haven't been to F&W since 2005 - before I had 3 kids! We will be bringing them along this time. They are pretty adventurous eaters, so it should be a lot of fun.

Do they still have the free drink tastings? I remember they had a Sam Adams beer flight tasting that was free and also an Austrailian wine one. I haven't seen anything about free tasting events.

Nope, all of the free tastings are gone See the first post on this thread for the info on the seminars that replaced them

Somebody who is at Epcot walking around the Festival wrote on Twitter that the beer pours are only 4 ounces at the booths and no souvenir mugs this year.

But they will have a souvenir Wine Glass for an additional $4.00 on top of the tasting price.

Just reporting what I saw on Twitter.

Saw a photo at the Desserts and Champagne Booth

Dom Perignon will be $32.00 a glass (not sure how big).
