Let me know as it gets closer if you want to sit together!

Sure, that would be great!

The last one I did was several years ago and it was a lot like this year's event. Everyone I met who was doing it agreed it was a rip off. That desert reception was a HUGE letdown.

I did the first one that was scheduled which I think was the first year of D23. I thought it was well worth the cost. The group was acknowledge at the Eat to the Beat concert that we attended. I also attended another one (can't remember when). Wasn't as good as the first one but it still covered two days.

I've seen a couple of reports of the AP gift this year. There will be both a magnet and a cutting board. Cutting board is after 4 visits.

4 visits to EP? How do they know how many times you are there?

They can tell based off turnstiles entries

They know every move we make.

Magic bands.

So if you leave and return same day does that count as a separate visit?

The cutting board sounds cool! ...I should probably be prepared for disappointment but I’m holding out hope it’s fun/cute/not so cheap it breaks on the way home anyway!

Received my Disney Visa fall newsletter and it appears that there will be a 10% merchandise discount during the festival. I'm not sure if this is a new offer or not.

If the festival wets your appetite for great food at home, use your cardmember savings of 10% off select merchandise purchases of $50 or more at select locations to bring home Festival apparel, glassware, kitchenware, or the new Festivals cookbook.

Nah, that’s the normal Disney Visa offer.

I had a 4th day I was being iffy about but I guess I will definitely do it. Does it matter how long you stay?

 

[Haley R]

I saw that Chase is sponsoring F&W. Is there nothing special for Chase card users anymore?

 

[randumb0]

Where are you guys reading this about a cutting board?

No,you can enter and immediately exit Epcot and it will still count.
