Food & Wine Basics Thread?

[weeniecat2442]

Can someone point me in the direction of a good Food & Wine thread. I don't know much about the festival but am having to reschedule our March trip and am thinking about October. Would like to read up on the F&W.
Thank you!

If you don't mind reading (and reading, and reading ), here is last year's F&W thread. Be forewarned, it's over 100 pages long.

Also the Disney Food Blog has excellent information: http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2014-epcot-food-and-wine-festival/

Does anyone know when the dates will be posted for 2015!?

Not for about five or six months.

Dates were announced yesterday, September 25 through November 16 2015. I wonder if they'll have a Party for the Senses on that first Saturday, Sep 26?

They usually don't have a PFTS on the first weekend or the last weekend but the new dates will throw things off of course. I would expect no PFTS on Saturday, Nov. 7 due to the wine and dine half marathon. Everything else is up in the air.

there's usually an "official" thread on the restaurant board, but later in the year, when it gets closer to time for events to be announced. Last year's thread is still floating around the restaurant board.

Im super excited to be going to the food and wine fest for the first time at the end of September! I have a couple questions that I can't seem to find answers to. Hoping someone here can help me out. Can you use your magic band as payment at the kiosks? I know you can purchase the gift cards but I wasn't sure about just using your magic band. Also, does anyone know about when the 2015 food and wine menu (I think that's what you would call it) comes out?

1. Yes.
2. Probably July.
