2016 Eat To The Beat Concert Series

[Spacedog1975]

We're planning to go from 9/25 - 11/4 so that covers a lot of F&W. If I need to extend for a specific ban that would work too.

But I want to do 40 days in Disney...

Just an update, Disney has officially announced the dates for this year's festival: September 14-November 14, 2016

Yay those date fits right in with my Trip plans.

Oh I do hope they will be doing that pineapple wine again as that was super yum....

 

[Spacedog1975]

I wonder if the additional days mean additional E2TB artists. I'll be excited to see that announcement when it comes.

It looks like the extended days for F&W and F&G means that Epcot is mostly a festival park.

A couple of bands have been released for the 2016 Eat to the Beat Concerts:

September 16-18: Starship Featuring Mickey Thomas
October 20-21: Christopher Cross

October 20-21: Christopher Cross

Starship has been playing both festivals for years now,I think they've only missed one festival in at least the last 12-13 years that I know of.I think it's funny that I saw Christopher Cross open up for Starship at a local outdoor festival about 3-4 years ago and since that day Christopher Cross has been playing at the Eat to the Beat concerts,Mickey Thomas obviously did some recruiting.

Starship is the one band I really want to see and they play the week before we plan on getting there. All our condos are already booked and paid for, so we'll add another week at the beginning and check in on 9/17 an leave on 11/5 now. Luckily there is a good condo available for that first week. So we'll be there for 7 weeks now.

almost 4 months until the Food/Wine Festival and still waiting on more bands to be posted. This has got to be the slowest ever release of info ever! I can tell you that I was told that Dennis DeYoung will be returning, but all they could tell me was in October, no date, no hint, etc . . .not too sure why the info isn't released sooner so those who have to fly can make reservations. If the bands know, what's the secret? Ugh!

Last year, the full slate of bands was not released until May 29th so we still have a few more weeks before the official announcement. However, usually more info about the Eat to the Beat concerts has leaked out by now!

Just be glad you're not waiting on info for the special events or beverage/culinary demos. Those will not be out until July.

Yikes!! I'm just getting antsy because the flight prices are constantly fluctuating . . .and I want to see a few different bands . . .

Just checked his website and Dennis DeYoung will be in Epcot October 17,18,19.

Anyone hear any news on Hanson returning yet?? I'm desperately hoping they'll be there during our trip! (I'm pathetic, I know... )
