International Food and Wine Festival question

[Steamboat Girlie]

I have never been and was wondering if the food and wine carts take cash only?

 

[disneyyes]

I have used both cash and Disney Dollars at the food carts in past years. Happy dining!

 

[Steamboat Girlie]

What about credit cards?

I'm not positive about credit cards but you can charge the food to your room.

The F&W food stands take cash, room cards, and credit cards.

Interestimng question. It never even occured to me to use a credit card at a booth. The purchaes have always only been a few dollars so we've always paid in cash. Guess I'll have to keep an eye out when were there next month.

Last year my DH and I used our KTTW card for all of our "tastings" around the world and we could not believe how much we spent! I guess when we used cash previously, we were more aware of how much we were spending! It was absolutely worth it though!

We usually carry cash & credit card.

We use the card for the frequent flyer miles, but when the system goes down (which it has in the past), we use the cash.

I save all the $1 bills that come our way for this purpose.

Yep, they take credit cards also and room key cards.

Enjoy!

I found cash much easier.

So, for those who have experienced this more than once, do you not bother to plan PS's and just wing it. Is it really possible to make a meal from just the samples, or does it end up being a bad case of indigestion from so many foods.

How 'bout with your kids. our DD's (14&9) will be missing 3 days of school, and part of the deal is that they will have to experience a wide variety of foods. Will we have to have a back up plan for them (like let them stay in the villa and have tuna and Kraft Easy-Mac while we adults enjoy the Festival ?

Seriously, I'd appreciate input from people who have done this with older kids.

No kids here but we were so filled up from all the sampling that we didn't feel like having a real meal for dinnertime. But we indulged in everything that sounded good to us, we didn't hold back due to budgeting, so we got full.

We didn't have any indigestion problems. The only thing I just had to throw away was the escargot in walnut pesto. Ugh! (They really are slugs/snails, folks!) The texture just grossed me out. And I really wanted to be sophisticated and enjoy them. Oh well.

If anyone was still hungry, you could always supplement with a counter service place like Tangeriene Cafe or anywhere that interests you. I just don't think we could do justice to a sit down meal after a day of sampling.

Re: credit cards. I didn't see anyone using them (although, apparently some do) and was thinking how that would slow up the process. The lines at the food booths can be a bit long and slow moving as it is. No offense to those who choose to use them but for convience, we will be taking dollar bills. Plus, I can't imagine how many receipts we would have ended up with at the end of the day. $2 here, $3 there, etc.
