Still patiently waiting for menus to drop...

Same! Anyone have an idea on when that might happen?

Should be getting close. Menus were released on August 13th last year.

Not so patiently waiting for the menus to drop...

I am hoping for an Ireland booth return, or even better, a craft beer booth!

Everyone on this thread is waiting on Disney to release the menus for the Epcot Food & Wine kiosks. Everyone on the Disney Cruise Line thread is waiting for Disney to release the itineraries for the fall 2026 and winter 2027 cruises. Wonder which one will come first - posters on both threads are losing their patience!

I wonder if there's a count of how many people are "watching" this thread.

 

[Minnesota!]

My bet is on a release of menus tomorrow...

Everyone on the Universal Halloween Horror Nights thread is waiting on food booth menus as well! And the announcement of the theme for the Dead Coconut Club.

So I am waiting for ALL the food announcements and not very patiently lol. I have a feeling it will all happen at once and then I will go from nothing to plan to ALL the things to plan.

I have 2 F&W days on different trips and I can't wait to see some menus!

 

[LilyWDW]

Any hopes on what to see on the menus this year?

I am hoping for more non alcoholic specialty drinks (and non coffee based). I don't drink, but I would still like something nice. Like the Mango Lassi at the India booth. So good.

And I feel like some booths are getting stale having the same menu year after year. I have no problem with keeping some fan favorites, but mix up the other items some. Brazil is one that comes to mind. Like, keep the cheese bread that everyone loves (except me lol), but do something different with the rest of the menu.

I agree with all of this. I am 5 years into recovery from alcohol addiction and I am really hoping for some fun NA stuff. Also, diabetic-friendly would be LOVELY.

I'm actually fine with them keeping a lot of old favorites and mixing in some new. We haven't been in a few years so most of it's going to be new to us.

We actually never buy wine from the food booths. I normally go to Italy get wine there, a better pour for your money.

16 more days until the start of the 2025 Food & Wine Festival. No information released on the menus, not yet anyway.

Someone called about the France brunch which is supposed to open for reservations today, but they were not available this morning. The CM said they would open up later this afternoon. Wonder if Disney is timing it to open those along with releasing the menus?

Thank you!! I totally forgot these were opening today. I have lost my F&W edge these last several years with no events! I honestly doubt they are that organized that they would coordinate releases.

A girl can hope! LMAO
