Food & Wine Fest

[gwennie81]

Dreamin' about it. Just sayin'...

New kiosks this year are Hawaii, Portugal, Caribbean, and Scandinavia.

I want to Eat To The Beat with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy again...

Nice. I like having new booths, and even new choices on old booths! On the other hand I would be crushed and soooooo disappointed if they didn't have the escargot in the p'tite brioche at France!

[uscwest]

We originally were not going to be there during F&W, but with the schedule change we will get a chance to do it. Looking forward to the new booths. And yes Tink if they took the Escargot away that would be a real shame.

If I remember correctly from last year, the full menus should be coming out later this month. Looking forward to it!

I'll be there the first weekend. Some of the fam is coming down and want to go again (they were here last year for the last weekend).

[Johnie]

We'll be there the first weekend too. Can't wait!

We'll be there the first weekend too. Can't wait!

WHOO-HOO! Meet ya at the Rose & Crown! LOL!

[Johnie]

I'll probably be there or watching Off Kilter!

[DisneyFreak]

Doesn't look like we'll be making it to the F&WF this year.

[gwennie81]

I'm thinking about signing me & the fam up for one of the seminars. I don't remember though if we were planning on going on Sunday (which would be a Dessert seminar) or Monday (not sure if they will even have one).

I'll keep you updated!
