2017 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival: August 31, 2017 - November 13, 2017

I typically go in late October and sometimes they are hard to find. I bought two on ebay about one week ago Someone was selling them for $2.50 each and that price included shipping. I wanted to have at least one prior to my trip so I could mark on the passport the items that I wanted to try.

Never even thought to try EBay. Great suggestion!

Whoo Hoo! We're going in 4 weeks!

Do they have the Chase lounge this year?

Chase is not sponsoring F&W this year, so no lounge.

Has anyone had the lamb from the Australia booth this year? I know they changed the cut and the picture I saw of this year's offering didn't look all that great.

That's

That's what I've been waiting to hear back on as well.

I did, it wasn't very good. No large bone to hold on to, and it was pretty chewy and had smaller bones to try to eat around. I loved it in years past, but based on what I had this year, I would not get it again.

 

[Auntie_Maim]

That's too bad. I was looking forward to that. Oh well, it's not like there won't be ten billion other things to eat (I still want the shrimp and the Lamington cake from Australia).

 

[Tonyz]

Yeah the lamb was definitely different from what they've had in the past (based on the pictures I've seen from past festivals). It was still very flavorful but there were a lot of bones.

Can I suggest the Spam Hash from Hawaii? This was my favorite thing, maybe ever LOL, I could have eaten so many of those!!!

 

[Simba's Mom]

I'm looking forward to the Scottish Stew (I think it's lamb, as I remember). I had it last year and loved it. Hope it's the same this year.

I wish they had the haggis again, don't see it on the menu. First time hubby and I tried we liked it and we knew ahead of time what should be in it.

We're looking forward to trying all things pork and revisiting Canada's filet & mushrooms. We must have eaten it 4-5 times the last week long trip we took in 2015.

Aww man! That was the best! So refreshing during a long day in the heat at Epcot. Too bad they didn't have someone else sponsor it.

That's definitely on my to-be-eaten list!

Photos showed the elevator being refurbished over the summer and speculation abounds that the former Chase Lounge space above the American Adventure will become Epcot's Club 33. I doubt we will see this location return as a festival lounge...

Does anybody know what the food and wine trays cost this year? They were so helpful the last time we were there.

Me either! I went the last, or 2nd to last?, week a couple years ago and half the booths were out of the passports. It took us awhile to find some and as we're going the last week this year I REALLY don't want to miss out on them (and it will be a lot more convenient to mark them up ahead of time). Just picked them up for my fam on ebay for $2.45/ea and free shipping! And this totally has me even more excited for F&W, my fam is going to love getting these early!

I swore I wasn't going to book a whole bunch of stuff this year. Early on I booked the Med. pairing lunch and a couple of wine demos and a food demo. Swore I was done. Just goes to show you. I just booked the Tequila Lunch for next week. I swear I'm done now.

Famous last words

I know, I put it off and put it off and decided to call today for next Friday. I told myself that I had waited so late it would be all booked up and that would solve the problem. Nope, not booked up.
