They are scattered among the countries.

They're there. They aren't numbered like the World Showcase entrance booths, but they are marked with a fork icon indicating a F&W booth.

Has anyone done the 8pm Eat to the Beat and then been able to move around to the FP+ area for Illuminations? Right now that is my plan for my first night there. It will be Air Supply's last night and I am not sure if I will be able to make it in time for the 6:45 show. This is the first time I have tried to use a FP+ for Illuminations. I will be solo, so I can move faster than most with kiddos, etc. Will it be doable?

I was wondering something very similar. We had planned to go to the 800 Fuel show, but have Illumination desert party at 9. We are hoping the timing works and it is possible. Its my understanding that the concert is only 30 min, so I was thinking 15 min more to empty the theater and 15 to walk to the front of the WS. That puts up there by 910ish at the latest.

Oh and we are hoping we will be getting in just in time to see Air Supply's 8pm concert on our first day!!

Very cool. Wonder why they didn't advertise that sooner? Anyway, hope you have fun & please come back & share how it went. I'm really curious what it will be like.

We avoid Epcot on Saturdays. We generally spend 10ish days at WDW for F&W so we have plenty of time to see and to taste on other days. It starts to fill up late afternoon friday and is cleared by Sunday am. For us, the waits aren't worth it on Saturdays to get food. Our very first F&W we arrived on a Saturday and went straight to EPCOT: we were so disappointed by the crowds and the lines. We now only go to EPCOT on Saturday for ticketed events and then clear out for another park.

We are avoiding the weekends due to similar comments like yours! Will enjoy just "hanging" and enjoying our resort Sat and Sunday rather than "fighting" crowds!

Not sure, either. I just read it on an Orlando website. Will do!!

I want to wish the folks starting at F&W the end of this week the following: May your weather be sunny, warm and dry - regardless of the forecast. May all your lines be short. May you find an empty bench in the shade to relax. May your food be delicious and your drink refreshing. And, for goodness sake, may you remember to take some pictures of your favorites and post them to the DIS.

I can't wait to hear about F&W also! I just got our "snack plates" in the mail today. I almost didn't order them because we leave a week from tomorrow.....but I forgot we had Amazon Prime. I ordered on Saturday and they were in my mailbox today. They are smaller than I thought. Can someone whose been to F&W share the dimensions of the "servings" at the booths? I'm assuming they all use the same disposable container.

My hope is to find out prices from these booths so I can put together a plan of action regarding whether or not to use snack credits on different items. I wouldn't mind food porn either

Lovely sentiment!

I am so anxious to hear about the festival and pricing! I have a friend who was at Epcot today, but she said nothing was open yet.

Wasn't sure where to post this..sorry if I'm in the wrong spot! What does everyone usually bring with them to F&W? This will be my first time! Anything I definitely shouldn't forget to bring with me?

Your appetite? (I couldn't resist)

And an alternate form of payment in case the Tragic Band system fails. I would hate to be stuck staring at all of the yummy food and no way to get it!

As one of the fortunate ones to be going this weekend... Do we post photos and reviews in this thread, or start a new thread?

I'm going to write a TR, but I know people will want to see photos sooner than I'll be able to write a TR!

Excellent question. I vote for a new thread so that they don't get lost in this thread.
