Getting ready ...

EPCOT Begins Setting Up Kiosks for 2025 Food and Wine Festival​

At least there will be some info when they start to place the menus on the kiosks

Sounds like the French Buffet reservations have been pushed back until tomorrow (according to someone who called). I don't always trust the phone CMs, but at this point in the day I believe it. I am still hopeful we will get menus the same day.

Who's had that fall fruit cheesecake with the fig, etc.? They say it's a returning favorite, but I haven't been in several years, so I don't remember it. How is it? Sounds good!

 

[crazy4wdw]

Wonder if this is it?

Woohoo! Got my Parisian breakfast reservation this morning with no problem.

Editing to add: sounds like it was a typical Disney cluster you know what this morning and many were not able to get a reservation and they now show as sold-out. I didn't know that when I posted and did not intend to come across as "bragging."

I don't feel you came across as bragging. You were excited you got your reservation as you should be! There aren't unlimited spots so not everyone will get to go and that is okay. I mean, stinks for them, but you shouldn't feel bad that you do get to go.

Some new stuff, and returns from years past

The Kirschwasser Torte looks good , Germany has the schneken back from 2 years ago.

France has some Boef Bor, that looks good.

I am so excited that the menus were released and on my birthday! A little bummed that my past favorite, Ireland, is not making a return but that seafood pot pie and seafood roll are making up for it!

The Italy menu sounds good. Hoping they can get a win this year.

Looking forward to this year's choices. Never paid that much attention until this year when we have 1 day to check it out. I will be missing the Ireland booth and the shake.

Someday Italy has to have a win. It's been bad since I first started going to Food and Wine back in college.

I am actually happy with the number of new items on the menus! Lots I already see that I would love to try. Need to remember I only have the one day. I will start working on my want to try list, then once reviews start I can rank things based on that. I have a spreadsheet already made and ready to go!

after digging in...there are 6 new beers i cant wait to try

What the bleep did they do to my Hawaii cheesecake?! It doesn’t even look appealing, looks like some overly food dyed kids dessert.

 

[japanese maple]

I'm going to destroy the Gyoza stand and the Spain booths.

Fair warning.

 

[gottalovepluto]

The pumpkin ravioli is returning! That’s a win.

Interesting that they dropped the Hot Dog Fest from the America booth. Guess that was not a winner.
