Did you click the links to the calendar with names? They may be what you are looking for...

Thanks - I was able to find what I was looking for - I was responding to some of the other posters - but these are all good links.
My point was they should have that info in one place - not looking at several lists to find the date in time of a particular chef.
People want to see all the chefs (and activities) that are there the week they are there in one place - not several different PDF files.
It seems like there would be a more complete calendar - not like it would be that hard for Disney to have that on the site and a link to book each one.

So digging around the Disney website on my phone, I found this:


Could this be the unnamed marketplace?

Updated to include the Disney webpage link: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/epcot/food-wine-new-experiences/

Scroll down to Global Marketplaces and click "Read more".

I think it is! The original materials had a duck confit dish at the unnamed marketplace and the Disney Visa newsletter says "this year's offerings include a marketplace solely dedicated to tomatoes, including a tomato salad and duck confit with cream of polenta and fire-roasted tomato salsa."

Has anyone ever made a reservation for a beverage seminar and attempted to change for a different one? I know they are not able to be canceled and money back but wondering about changing to a different day and time.

I just cancelled a beverage seminar the other day with no problem.

Those are adorable photos, crazy4. Thanks for posting the link.

I saw that John Popper, the frontman for Blues Traveler, had emergency surgery recently. Several of the band's upcoming gigs will be rescheduled as a result.

Godspeed to Mr. Popper. Hope the surgery was a complete success, and I will get to see him perform during the F&W.

are all of the drink flights gone?

No. The Craft Beers marketplace lists flights under the 'beverage' marker, while the Brewer's Collection indicates a flight in the description on the Disney website. However, a few of us are concerned that a flight will only contain 3 beers instead of the customary 4 beers.

Were you able to get a refund? (Just wondering since it says nonrefundable). Thanks

We did, yes. It was credited back to my credit card a couple of days later.

Well I guess you were lucky. I just called to try to cancel a Beverage Seminar and was told they are non-transferable and non-refundable. That's what the original confirmation stated and apparently they are holding true to that.

I'm sorry :-( I wish you had had better luck with it. They didn't question me or anything, just called and told them I needed to cancel a beverage seminar and she just asked for the confirmation # and said ok, done. And honestly, I don't even think I looked to see that it was nonrefundable, as it has showed in MDE the whole time I had it to call to cancel.

 

[HollyMD]

I might would try again and see if you get a different person.

This is what I've been looking for... It doesn't seem like as good of a deal as I remember last year. But we'll have kids so probably won't do the concert this year anyway... I do want the pin, but it will be a lot harder to break even on the cost. Decisions, decisions...

The Greenhouse Guru is now added to the Marketplace list.

Any whiskey flights, other than the standard ones at the R&C?

I don't think so. Beer flights are a definite. As for other flights, I expect to see a wine flight and a hard cider flight. But we won't know for sure until the menus are put out at Epcot next month.

Has anyone seen a list of the Food and Wine merchandise?

. . . . . .still waiting

You'd think some information would be out now that the festival starts in less than 30 days!
