I've been waiting on this info too, the only thing I've been able to do is read last years menu and expect those food samples and maybe a few new ones and also expect a price increase lol
Also waiting. We recently decided to go to WDW in April. We usually only go Nov-Feb. Didn't realize until after booking that the Flower & Garden Festival will be going on. Then really excited to find out they have food booths. Also saw last years menu. Hope they still have the "Piggylicious" bacon cupcake. Not normally something I would eat, but will have to get it if available.
I'm also hoping that they have a special MagicBand for sale like they do for F&W.
We didn't get to F&W in 2014 and went for Christmas instead. I have all of the standard magic band colors that I want, so I think I will start buying the special edition ones. DUH on my part, didn't think of looking for a Christmas one when we were there.
Sorry, the link is getting blocked. Google "magic band collectors". Then look under the menu item magicbands/Food & Wine Festival
We will be staying at AKL for the first time in April and the idea of the trip was to make it more about the resort than the parks. But after seeing the food booth information from last year, we might be making multiple trips to EPCOT. OMG!
We're only going for a long weekend, and leave the day before the festival begins have they done a soft opening of the booths in past years?? If so, how many days in advance?
Not 100% sure what they do for F&G, but for F&W they always do a soft opening with the food booths on the Thursday right before it kicks off. I would imagine they do the same thing for F&G, so they can work out any kinks before the first day.
We booked another trip to WDW rather than DLR, solely because we have two days left on our WDW tickets. Those two days will be spent at F&G eating and drinking our way through the foliage! I'm super excited about the booths too.

We were there in 2013 when they had food booths for the first time at the F&G Festival and there wasn't a soft opening. I didn't read any posts about a soft opening in 2014 either. Perhaps because there are fewer booths they didn't feel they needed it.
F&W soft opening (CM preview) is the day before the opening of the festival so if F&G has a preview day, I would imagine it will follow the same pattern.

No, it would be the day before - Tuesday - if there is a soft opening/CM preview. The F&W Festival usually starts on Friday which is why the soft opening is on Thursday.
