I wouldn't feel guilty at all! This years F&W is full of kids activities!

Do you think the candy sushi will bring more adults than kids to the party?

Maybe not more - I see a lot of families with kids and adults who both want to do it .... more so than parents just bringing their kids there but then just watching/not participating. But I do think a number of adults without kids will do it as well

Now the Guiness Bailey's Shake ... that will bring all the boys to the yard

I'm not usually an ears wearer, but I LOVE those!

Lol!

Right? It doesn't seem right to braise short ribs with beer but I'm sure willing to take one for the team


:::raises hand::: we used all of our tabs on alcohol too. I mean I wasn't about to let Disney get the best of me


We love Morimotos but are trying Ragland Road for the first time this trip!

Haha. That’s awesome. Beating the mouse at its own game. Love it.

Raglan Road is fun. And remember, Guinness is good for you.

Cool! For those interested in the sushi, images are around the 0:45 mark. I hate Swedish fish so I'm talking myself into feeling better about skipping this...

Not a fan of the fish either. Does anyone think it looks like a rice krispie treat for the rice? Which I also don't like, I like marshmallows and I like rice krispies but together it's too sweet. Cute idea but I'll skip it too.

Any word on a cookbook?

In the Disney Visa “newsletter” it referenced a new festivals cookbook with recipes from all of the various festivals, including Holidays around the World and Disneyland. Believe it was similar last year but the article does say “new.”

I don't like Skittles, and mixing them with Swedish Fish and Krispie treats sounds gross. So carry on, Candy Sushi People!

do you think there will be a F&W magic band this year? I'm trying to hold out to buy one but I am loving both the new haunted mansion and halloween magic bands. (sorry if this has been answered before)

Yea - I am rethinking this as well. Probably going to pass

It feels like this is their secret weapon to weed some of the adults out of the event....

A friend of mine from high school makes custom ears through her Etsy shop. A month ago I had her make me some ears with cork fabric ears and a merlot colored bow. They look almost exactly like the ones that Disney just made. The downside is that now they kind of look like a knock off pair of ears but I got them before ever seeing Disney's design...lol. Oh well, I still love them.

What time does World Showcase REALLY start to get crowded? We’ve only been during the day- usually getting there right at 11:00. I’d like to stay as long as possible or even go back in the later afternoon as long as the crowds are still manageable. Unfortunately we will be there on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday so that definitely plays a factor into the crowds.

I’m still going lol. Candy is candy

So 2 weeks left and no word of a Passholder gift

Curious about this too.

According to Disney Food Blog, the Guinness Bailey Shake is more Bailey than Guinness. Can't wait to try it!

Friday likely won’t be nuts until a bit later in afternoon. Saturday will be crowded starting pretty early - noon or 1pm. Sunday likely won’t be as bad as Friday evening or Saturday

Our experience over the years at F&W is the first 1-2 hours are pretty good crowd wise. A good tip though is to skip the first few booths in whichever direction you are going to help stay ahead of the crowds.

Great! Thanks!
