It would be a Kings ransom that’s how much !!! No bands no party would be my guess but that’s just me being sad

The prices for 2019 were getting fairly close: $229/person for reserved seating, $359/person for wine view lounge.

Pure and utter speculation on my part (zero inside sources) but I think in October (circumstances permitting) they do something Ratatouille themed with assigned tables and it's ~$500pp

What I find shocking and I’m not knocking anyone ( to each his own) but I keep seeing Disney take away things then offer back special parties and raise prices and people just flick to it and pay it - I guess as long as this happens they will continue to do it until they reach the breaking point

Some Menus appear to be up on the Disney food blog. My dd is reading them on her phone but I can't find them. Nevermind, found them, not sure if I'm allowed to post the link

What?? I hope this is true!!!

I think those menus are from 2020 as they await this year's menus...note the new booths do not have menus yet.

It's confusing, the link says 2021, then it says check out last years menu while you wait, and then it says
2021 Epcot food and wine with a list of booths and items, some menus "coming soon".

I'm waiting for them to be posted on Disney to be sure

To be fair these items might be the same as last year anyway as I don't think they reinvent the wheel year over year....

That's very true LOL. I haven't been in 5 years and I'm disappointed to see some of my favorites no longer there but there are plenty of things I saw on last year's menus I'll enjoy. If they offer the same then it's all good to me!

Does anyone know if the booths will denote vegan/vegetarian meals on their menu board?

As long as the Hawaiian pork sliders are there, I’m good.

DFB has a history of this and it's confusing. They carry over the prior year's info and say somewhere in small print that it's the prior year. 2021 menus have NOT been released.

Speaking of DFB... they reported that a new booth was spotted already in place.

The F&G passport booklet has a little leaf symbol next to the name of the plant-based options. I'm pretty sure the symbols appear on the menu boards as well.

I'm considering moving my Sept 18-25 reservation to Oct 27-Nov 3. For those of you who did the festival towards the end of the event, did you find that your experience was any less than expected? I'm just wondering if maybe some of the food kiosks end early or run out of certain offerings that were available earlier in the event.

The festival runs through November 20th so you should be OK with certain food items running out. If your trip were closer to ending date, that could be a possibility. I like the latter portion of October - November as the weather is usually a lot cooler and don't need to worry as much about hurricanes.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Weather is nicer but I agree unless your there the last week - which I have done several times you should be ok on food - last week ah no several items will be gone or go daily

Yes - it's the weather that is driving the decision for sure!

Just noticed this today on the dining events site. Almost everything is listed as temporarily unavailable, but not PFTS. Perhaps there is a chance it'll be back this year? Fingers crossed!
