Ooh, that's great! Where is it this year?

it's in the main walkway between Future World and the entrance to World Showcase

 

[bmswart3]

it's supposed to be 11am, but sometimes they run a bit late, especially the booths deeper in World Showcase

Thank you!! I will be there tomorrow am and want to get started as early as possible!

My husband and I found another YouTube channel with food reviews from the festival called WDW Couple. They don’t have a ton of subscribers but their videos are super informative and they give thorough reviews. Thought I’d throw it out there for people looking for reviews. I’m gluten free so there’s also a blogger called Fairytale Foodie who did a good gf review too where she talks about some items that aren’t labeled gf but can be modified as such.

I really enjoy the WDW Couple food reviews. I think the food reviews are their best videos.

We are arriving on Feb 23, so likely to hit one of the last two days of the Festival...anyone know if there's any particular reason to hit the very last day? Are they stamping "Clearance" on Figment's head or anything?

lol
You might find some of the independent artists having sales or FotA merchandise on sale but for the most part there isn't anything special going on the last day

you have to go to the booth same day and book a time if they are backed up, if they don't have anyone you can just do it then

The DH and I are interested in some of the more adventurous food. I noticed that most of the vloggers have more everyday palates. Craig of DIS Unplugged, for example, was grossed out by the texture of the salmon terrine--and he took a huge bite out of it, when it looks like it's best savored in small bites. In other words, it's not fries smothered in bacon, cheese and gravy! LOL. So I'm not taking any vloggers seriously when it comes to the food. We see poutine and run the other way!

This will be my first time at the festival. I saw there is a complimentary seminar each day at 11:30am. Can anybody give me more info? Do I need to sign up? How early do I need to show up to get a seat? Thanks.
