1) The Cooking School!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3) The Celebrity Chef Demos and autograph sessions
4) The fact that there were wine tastings going on all the time
5) The special food items at the CS restaurants
6) The whole darned thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the last one, I finally became one of the crazy people who showed up at 8AM for a 2PM chef demo. I met the coolest people in line and we had so much fun waiting that I was looking forward to this year showing up at 8AM for the 2PM demos just to hang out with other foodie disney freaks. Hopefully in 2013 they will bring back the festival and I will become a freak for the F&W festival again!
