We love F&W and go every Fall. However, I do find myself being disappointed in some foods, by way of comparison to years prior. It's still to me, a foodie's paradise. Just as @
Sloan said, hard ticket events really make it special, but truth be told I haven't booked any, in several years and have never attended Party for the Senses, yet still enjoy the experience. @
Master Yoda kinda hit the nail on the head, the *wow* factor is missing, however, we still enjoy F&W immensely. Regarding the kiosk offerings, they fluctuate IMHO, some years there are lots of nice options, and others, sub par offerings, but one thing is a constant, the prices keep going up. For my family, F&W is very nostalgic, lots of memories, not of outstanding food though. We use our snack credits on the dining plan to purchase the samplings. (so we don't feel the sticker shock as much) Having said all this, Fall is still a great time to go, and I honestly think, everyone should try F&W atleast once. Me? I'll still go every year
