They've had them for at least the last five years so I'd be surprised if they don't have them in 2017.

Loved these things last year. This year we're also going to get those little plastic trays for carrying the food and drinks. Those looked really handy.

Hmm I'd be interested. Isn't this typically held in the middle of the week in the middle of the day?

The only other year I know about for sure was last year, and it was on Sunday, June 26. It was hot as blue blazes that day last year. This year I am planning a long weekend trip to enjoy the preview event with my mom and we won't go into the parks except for the preview. July is pool weather for sure!

Saw that Starship featuring Mickey Thomas will be at EPCOT Oct 27,28 & 29.

Fantastic. won't be there for those days and looking for the surrounding ones. Have nightmares of their song Sara ever since my 6th grade class serenaded me with that during an assembly.

Yes, a small fortune

There has not previously been a "fixed price" option to enjoy all you like at the Food and Wine festival, but in the past couple of years they have offered a "sampler" package which is a lanyard with plastic snap off coupons (last year, you could choose either 8 or 16 coupons). Last year it came with a fancy pin, the year before it came with a plain looking pin. I like pin trading but wouldn't have bought either of those pins out of pocket, so they are basically of no value to me. The sampler entitlements (if you just take the total purchase price divided by the number of coupons) came out to $7something depending on which sampler you get. It's a good deal for a lot of the mixed drink cocktails and a bad deal for food items and beer or wine, for the most part. But still I can see it might be an option for someone who would enjoy the pin and wants to pre-pay for their food and drinks. Probably the better deal would just be to load a gift card and use that for your wine tastings.

So has anybody heard if they are doing anything like the "premium package" they offered in 2015? Really enjoyed that option and we are heading back the 3rd week in October this year but can't find anything on the WDW site.

They didn't offer it last year so I guess it wasn't profitable in its last iteration.

I can't stand Indian food, but the Spanish one sounds promising.

Oh but both those dishes sound soooo good! Cashews, naan, pistachio and cardamom oh my!

 

[lovingeire]

I am super excited about the new booths! I love Indian food especially!

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

We kept wondering why there was no India booth -- love it!!
