I don't know if this has been shared yet, but I found this picture last night. This is the Magic and for the Food and Wine Premium event. I thought it was supposed to be purple. I like it though.

this one?

Trip #1 completed for my husband and I as we are driving home now. We were able to get 24 of the 36 booths in the passport done! We're back in 9 days for a 5 night trip where we will finish the passport and then attempt to run away all the food we ate at the Tower of Terror 10 Miler.

The Parisian breakfast is still unlimited Mimosas. I think my husband had 7 to my 6.

I found the food to be better overall than last year. We didn't hate anything we tried food wise. We did have two rough wines and a few beers we weren't happy with but that's the joy of trying new things!

I know it's been asked before. But the forecast looks so bad (80% rain every day) on our upcoming trip. I know we'll still have fun, go to the parks and ride the rides.

But can you enjoy F&W in the rain? I ask because Epcot is my top park to avoid in the rain as all the attractions and the countries are so spread out.

So for those with experience, can you tour and taste the F&W booths in the rain?

Wear a poncho and yes you can. Also wear shorts or skirt so the bottom of your legs aren't soaked.

The lines will be a lot shorter

Second this! Only up side is I am hoping the weather clears. It has been rain every day since I was there end of April.

Thanks for the advice and responding. It's a little depressing to plan everything 6 months out centered around Epcot and F&W and see this forecast. I knew it was a possibility, but was hoping for better weather.

We will be there for our last week of our annual passes. I anticipate a great trip regardless of the weather. Just have to remember how to shake off the ponchos and fit them in my bag!!!

I have a friend going this week who wants to do a sold out lunch. The CM on the phone suggested she just show up and if someone else didn't they would sell her a spot. Has anyone ever tried that? (I know people don't show. We had several no shows at events last year. There was even an empty reserved table near me in the Wine View lounge. )

Be aware the Food Booths will stop serving and close if it is a heavy wind/rain storm. They will reopen after the storm passes. It's Florida's rainy/hurricane season. It happens.

Is there a link to 2014 Food and Wine Festival Guide Map??

Anyone know if there's a PDF downloadable version of the map? In the past, Walt Disney World inluded links on their website to the festival maps but I can't seem to locate one there.

It is a tumbler shape but I don't remember the words on it. I just glanced at it as I walked past Block and Hans.

I have been curious, this year at Parisian Breakfast, do they serve 1 mimosa, or can you have more than 1?

Any other changes from last year?
