2014 Epcot Food and Wine Festival 9/19-11/10

Eh....who keeps plastic wine glasses? Were the beer steins plastic in prior years?

Souvenir beer steins were always plastic. I love our plastic wine glasses; they are great for camping and hot tubbing. Especially if they are like the stemless ones we own.

Beyond that, I think the more expensive ones might be sitting around for good while....opened. I know they use a stopper, but it's not the same as a newly opened bottle.

One of the reasons why when buying my overpriced champagne today (which was amazing) it was our first stop when the booths opened slightly before 11AM! First one to have the newly opened bottle

Wise you are Dis Yoda. Great tip! I'll keep that in mind.

Beginning the day with a celebratory treat -- I like it!!!

I am passing on the high priced champagne. I am not paying that for a plastic cup LOL

My quick exploration is done. Back to the real world for a while.

By the way I have no idea how order and delivery works for the premium areas. I did seat big rolling "heat boxes" like caterers use in them. I also think they had laminated menus with what you could order.

First year since we discovered F&W (about 6 yrs ago) that we can't make it down..Looking forward to next year and all of your reviews/pics from this year!

My guess is the posted map is a map that you can get when you come into Epcot or at the resorts???? Am I wrong to assume that?

At first I was thinking this was going to be a no big deal event to me but as I keep reading and looked at this map posted, WOW I'm excited. Not sure I'll be there long enough to be able to experience everything. Glad I didn't make a lot of ADRs because there is plenty to eat just walking around the world.

Thanks for posting.

You are correct. They have the maps at the park entrance

I'm excited for this years' event, it will be my 1st solo trip! Woohoo!!

I'm not too jazzed about the $199 Premium Package cost...since I'm a FL Res AP Holder.

Guess I'll have to smooze some gents near the Premium area to get me one of those rumored Limited Edition F&W Magic Bands.

I did see on the Inside the Magic blog pictures of some of the F&W Merchandise. Looks pretty nice for plastic. I think one is a Tervis tumbler if I'm not mistaken.

FYI - If anyone is interested, I'm posting food booth reviews with pics on a separate thread. Let me know what you want to see!

i think i'm going to make one of those trays... the kind they sell popcorn and cotton candy from - that hangs around your neck? I'll have my own VIP spot. Maybe I can charge for sharing....

 

[Princess_Nikki]

Found the picture I saw recently regarding some Food & Wine Merchandise that I mentioned earlier. I LOVE this year's version of Duffy and
I am so glad the cup is Tervis! I'm a huge fan of Tervis.

I hate to break this to but the Trevis is really a wine glass.

I LOVE that idea!

Duplicate sorry

I don't know about this one, but the ones I've seen around my town the wine glass is removable.

Oh, yeah, I know, I noticed that. It's interesting! And if it is removable, then it's all the more awesome! It's actually pretty brilliant.
