2016 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival: September 14 - November 14, 2016

Does this mean if we have an ADR on Saturday night that we won't be able to try and request a patio table for illuminations? Will the viewing area they normally have still be available for guests that are seated indoors?

Was talking about the pub, not the restaurant. The pub is a separate entity from the restaurant. Nothing will change at the restaurant.

Above poster is correct, you cannot redeem DDP credits for alcoholic beverages at all.

Yes, the vouchers are shareable. There's no name on them. You can give them to anyone you wish. African Outpost would not accept them last year, nor would the Joffrey's kiosks.

Tequila lunch is held at La Hacienda de San Angel.

Sampler exclusions:

Beers over 6 oz
Tasting flights
Champagne
Artist's Palette of Wine & Cheese
Kurt Russell's "Tiger" Pinot Noir

Are the vouchers shareable? I'd like to split one with my sister and her boyfriend. Can we separate the coupons, or would we all have to go together with whomever purchased the vouchers?

Yes.

Dole Whip lover, but haven't had one with rum yet. Can't wait! How are they?

WAIT. JUST WAIT.

There are Dole Whips with RUM?

I am so glad I am on this board.

It does seem like the perfect combination, doesn't it?

Has anyone been able to find out if the AP Tumblers are one per AP Holder period or one per AP Holder per three visits? Just curious since last year it was visit three times and you got a wine glass but it was unlimited number of three time visits.

Thanks

Yeah they offer this year around at AK and they had for a while I never understand why people get so exited about this during F&W since you can have them any time.

 

[TeresaWen]

Yes.

I bought the 16 sampler. I received two "credentials" on lanyard and two sets of 8 coupons. The pin is on back order. It will be mailed to us.

Love getting the passion fruit slushy in France with it!

EPCOT is our favorite park, so any day that has rum infused dolewhips there is a good day.

I get that but just to point out you can get this year around somewhere else. I prefer to take advantage of the F&W items that are seasonally than something I can get year around.

Thanks much!

WEnt to the First Trader Sam's Behind the Scenes today...what a fun event.

All of the samples they provided for food were more close to actual size than sample size and I would say the drinks were at least half size if not more.

There were five courses...I got Photos of four.

1st COurse (No Pic) Shrunken Zombie HEad with Portugese Sausage Corn Dog
2nd Course - Passion Fruit Scallop Ceviche paired with Krakatoa Punch

3rd Course - Deconstructed Shrimp and Guacamole paired with Kentucky Spiced Cocktail

4th Course - Marinated Grilled Lamb Loin paired with Fog Cutter (in the three Ghosts mug which is coming soon to Grog Grotto from West Coast

5th Course - Shrunken HEad Red Velvet Rum Cake paired with HippopotoMai-Tai

I cant think of a single course I didnt like and as I said this was mostly all FUll /half size items so it was well worth the cost.

You left with the recipes for all five drinks and a Zombie Head Mug...really wish it was a special mug but oh well...

All in all a GREAT new event for Food and Wine

Knob Creek Disney Select Bourbon? Tell me more about this

 

[MakiraMarlena]

Sorry I missed that but I won't be there on a Wednesday this year, so had to forego it. It looks great! It's a bit annoying that the mug was a zombie head and not the HM one though.

Knob Creek Disney Select Bourbon? Tell me more about this

According to the person MCing the event he said that Knob Creek makes a special version of their Bourbon for Disney. Honestly to me since I have had their select bourbon it was no difference from that but the drink was awesome. Paired perfectly.

 

[ellie05]

@wvaspartan thank you for the review! I wish they would have offer a special mug. I don't eat meat I think I am going to call the res line and see if maybe then can arrange for something else I would be happy if I get more of the seafood instead.

I am starting to wonder if maybe they will offer the HM mug in the October dates.

I like the AK ones better, because they have dark rum instead of just coconut rum. I did like the macadamia nut rum & dole whip that they had at Flower & Garden in 2015. They didn't have it this year though. You can also get an alcoholic dole whip drink at Trader Sam's. I haven't had that yet.

Does anyone know if you can use multiple sampler credits in a transaction or if they have to be used one at a time?
