[dina444444]

In the past, have the festival food booths been open Monday-Thursday?

Yes

 

[Bunless]

Yes

Well, this mid-week trip is just looking better and better!

Does anyone remember when they put out the menus the past few years? I went two years ago and feel like the menus were out already by this time. I want to see what's new!

DLR full menus come out pretty late -- last year they were posted a mere 3 days before the festival's start -- but we'll start getting inklings of what's to come as they start erecting the booths in February.

Anyone book the culinary tour?

 

[BandMom1]

Thank you for this thread! This will be our first time at F&W so looking forward to it!

Anyone book the culinary tour?

I did. I'm excited but also a little nervous. I know others have been critical of other seasonal tours; but love the Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour and remain optimistic.

We will be taking the 2nd tour ever on March 5th, so hopefully any kinks will be worked out.

Maybe I am missing it, but can we buy SIp and Savor passes yet?

Not for pre-order. You'll find those at a few kiosks and shops throughout DCA once the festival begins.

Yeah. It’s cute - it’s not really “cooking,” but they make cookies and everyone gets a (prepackaged) one to take at the end. Basically they group the kids around tables and each kid gets to add an ingredient, and then they all get to stir. Goofy comes. They get a hat. It’s fun.

This sounds fun. Where is this?

Last year it was over by Monster’s Inc on that stage.

I have no idea how accurate this is, but it seemed worth sharing. https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2020...d-wine-festival-booths-menus-and-food-photos/

Those are last year's menus still. I thought it was weird when they out 2020 on there and then linked back to the same menus as last year. I have been checking daily to see if they've changed. We will be there the second day so I'm anxious!

They've had this incorrect 2020 info up on their website for a while now. They do the same thing with the WDW Festival menus every year. I understand them wanting to have info available but it really bugs me when they post the previous year's menu with the current year's date so everyone thinks they have the new menus up already.

The schedule for the Culinary Demos has been posted:

I got my Disney Visa flyer and it had four menu items - one avacado chimichanga like think that looked yummy and some donut dessert that I can remember - so if they have the menus I just wish they would release them already!!

I note for that seminar bookings :

• "Once booked, there are no cancellations, exchanges or refunds."

If something happens and I can't attend, can I just give my ticket to someone else?

Yes you can give it to someone else.

Would appreciate thoughts on the Culinary Tour. Also, does anyone know if there are a DVC discounts?

The culinary tour is new this year so no one has any info on what you'll experience. My husband is very excited for this tour but I'm not.

As for DVC discounts, nope. We don't even get AP discounts for F&W events.
