2024 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival Information and Planning Thread

Trying to remember--who had that delicious beef stew last year? I had it a few times. Was it Germany?

 

[loves to dive]

My strategy for any F&W trip is to go to any other park in the morning and then hop to Epcot almost every afternoon. The booths don't open until 11 and I can't eat nearly enough in one day to cover even half the stuff I want to try. This way I get to experience all parks and eat more at the festival.

I do this as well. Pretty much all my lunch/supper meals come from booths. I sprinkle in a few non-booths like HBD Lounge and Nomad Lounge and maybe one TS but otherwise, it's all booths. I always try to get something from every booth, even if it's just a drink of some kind but since I'm solo most of the time, I rarely succeed. I tend to stay at Swan/Dolphin a lot so I can hop into Epcot early afternoon, walk back to the resort for a break, walk back to Epcot to eat more then hop over to another park to finish my day.

This was Germany's menu last year...


Maybe you are thinking of Belgium?

This is more or less our plan in September. Weare staying at POP so great access via the Skyliner.
Our strategy is do the parks at rope drop until around 12, then head back to the resort for a quick freshen up & head to Epcot around 2.30-3.00. We know we cant get around all the booths on a day so pacing our selves over 4 afternoons/ evenings during our 2 weeks stay.

Right! Seriously hot dogs

 

[EddieMI]

Not really wowed by anything. Not a lot of new items. France finally tossed the cheese beignets and there is some wild Chili with 5 kinds of meat in it. But other than that Meh...

Maybe because the hotdog place outside of the Boardwalk still not open? Lol

Aw man, I should have put a bet on the menus coming out today, I was telling my mom this past weekend I was certain they'd come out on Tuesday since I was stuck in the office today with no access to outside internet! I feel like I have so much to catch up on!

So, my prelim list has 71 items on it. Note, I don't drink alcohol very much so the majority of said list is food. I have 3 days to do it. Some will be shared with my friend (she will be with me for 2 days). Some I may skip in the long run. Need to prioritize the list before we go and obviously there may be some changes as reviews come out from Mammoth Club, DFB, Allears, Tim Tracker, Paging Mr. Marrow, and more.
