EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, Sept. 25 - Nov 16 2015

[Tozzie]

Quick question for those who have been already... Are the Festival Center and Future World kiosks opening along with Future World (i.e. 9am)? Or, are they delayed to the World Showcase opening time?

The Festival Center always opens at 9 am.

Considering the lines I am not surprised. I generally avoid buying AP merchandise as I don't want the CMs to assume I am guilty by association.

Hmm, trying to figure out what you mean by this but not quite getting it.

Has anyone used a FP+ for a concert? How was the seating?

For a lot of cast members annual pass-holders and DVC members represent problem guests. This group seems to Believe that they are entitled to being treated differently and often are demanding an abusive to be cast members. I have chosen not to be associated with that

That would explain the behavior of the cms, they musta been being hoarded with people like that yesterday cause the minute i asked if they had ap merchandise they were "unhappy". Btw if anyone is a stitch fan like me they have adorable LE food and wine stitch pins that come with a recipe!

1. Any reviews of the F&W 20th anniversary cookbook?

2. We're F&W rookies...what should we expect at the kiosks as far as lines go? I just want to be prepared! We're going on a Wednesday.

I want to know too. I used a FP+ for the Everclear show on 10/31.

Weekdays are better than weekends. Lunchtime is better than dinnertime. Earlier is better than later (for lunch and dinner). Last 2 years we did weekdays and didn't have too long of lines.

Does anybody know where to buy the F&W food and drink trays and how much they are?

We would like to get some because so we don't have to juggle drinks and plates while trying to eat. It's the one thing my boyfriend remembers hating and having to do in 2011.

I don't know about Germany but Morocco always seems to have availability. The walkways are wide around Morocco/Japan you just need to get past the bottle neck near the entrance to World Showcase, I would suggest heading toward Canada when you arrive/want to eat after you get past Ireland you (IMO) are good to go to get to Morocco or Germany (Walking wise)

Thanks Tozzie, I appreciate your help. I've never been to WDW, my boyfriend was there for a couple days in 2011 and wishes he had more time there at F&W. We are going for 5 days this year and are looking forward to the experience very much.

Well, I just took one for a concert that's before you, Air Supply on 10/19. I'll post about the FP+ experience/seats.

So my F&W day is super far away but I'm trying to see what's the best use of my Sampler package...

Here's the 8 I picked:
Guava Margarita(Mexico)
Ritzee Lychee (China)
Kung Fu Punch (China)
Szarlotka (Poland)
Frozen Margarita (Italy)
Godiva Coffee (Belgium)
La Passion (France)
Citrus Thistle (Scotland)

Anyone see any problems, or ones that are actually excluded? I tried to follow the exclusions listed and avoid flights, champagnes and beers.

Thanks!

Unless someone reports not being allowed it looks like you should be able to use the entitlements for everything you listed. I know someone already reported being able to use for the France one. I don't like gin but that Citrus Thistle sure sounds interesting to me & I want the Italian Margarita too.

Thank you! I know I have to narrow down more suggestions, because I put so much on my list of things I want to try!

i bought my tray at the store near earth across from camera center

Just wanted to report that I was able to use a Sampler Package entitlement for a 9.00 glass of wine at Block & Hans. one of the CMs was unaware of what it was but followed the instructions on the back. The other CM was the one who confirmed that I could use it there.
