It does say that the festival will open with the American Gardens Bandstand. Between that and the few slipups we've seen from artists posting dates on their sites, I am going to take it as by the end of the festival EttB will be back, in the more traditional way we are used to. They probably couldn't fill the whole F&W with more famous ($$$) acts, plus with restrictions and mandates in place they may not have been 100% ready to pack the theater.

It seems like the F&W Fest may not really get into full swing until October 1st. A lot of the marketplace booths are waiting til then to open ...

My guess is that Disney needs a way to draw people away from the MK once the 50th starts, so just like they delayed the Ratatouille opening, they'll push some of the F&W stuff. By October we may start seeing the potential for Eat to the Beat and possibly ticketed F&W events

As someone going this summer this is really disappointing, but I get it. I'm hoping however that they don't skimp out on festival offerings until the 50th begins. Very excited (and nervous) for menus/more info!

I counted... It's only 9 booths not opening til the 1st.

That's about 30% not opening until October 1st.

That was about my estimation as well - also I had gone to F&W last year (which was a blast), but I'm hoping that them expanding the menus will fill a bit of that void/I won't be purely stuck with repeats!

Honestly though? Just happy they've packed the calendar with festivals lmao

It's nice to see stuff coming back lol. We've only gotten to do Eat to the Beat once and that was like a decade ago. Can't seem to time our trips for this anymore. I'm really wanting to do F&W again.

This was my thought about last year's F&W. There were still some of my favorites, but I was quite surprised on how much was missing too. I can't wait to roll:stuff:gorge eat my way around the world with a full smorgasbord at my disposal.:rolleyes1

Right! My first festival experience ever was the combo Flower and Garden/F&W post pandemic, so honestly who am I to complain? Really though I just hope that because I'm one of those choosing to go right before the 50th I'll see some lighter park crowds.
