My wife and I go to the F&W festival a few times each year. We are Pixie Dusters who live nearby.

We enjoy beer flights along with other offerings of course and I'm looking at the new prices. Last year we paid
10.25 for flights and those have increased to 12.75. That's a 23.25% increase.

I guess some are thinking I'm picking nits, but I'm somewhere between disappointed and dismayed. We are very
disciplined with our budgeting when we go because we need to be. I've learned a lot about beer on our visits largely because of the flights, but I might take a pass now or maybe just have one this year.

We all expect increases on F&B items, but that percentage is ridiculously high IMO. Beer flight or not, we'll still be going.

My first post BTW, so howdy to all!

Welcome! That does seem like a large % increase. Is it the exact same flight or different types/brands? While frustrating, hope it doesn't put too much of a damper on your visits and that you enjoy! And hope you enjoy discussing various Disney topics here!!

welcome! - that is a big % increase. Feel like with alcohol in general they can always play around with price and serving size (feel like in some recent years they cut the size so the per oz price was going up even if absolute didn't)

I didn't go back and check but feels like the cocktail prices jumped quite a bit too. I feel like the food increases aren't significant/still fine, but the drink prices definitely did

Maybe side goal is to make the prices at GEO-82 look not so bad considering what you have to pay for 6oz of beer

That's all disney cares about. They won.

This kit doesn’t seem to change much year after year, does it? Seems like the date is the main thing.

Do those Kinetic things spin? If so it's a nice Innoventions plaza tribute..

Nope

Nope

Aw that's a shame...

The great thing this year is because of the lower attendance, the lines for the food samples will be manageable,

Why is it a "they won" situation? If people truly enjoy the event enough to go, then everyone can still win. Not everything has to be an them vs us or something...

 

[Disneydad1012]

Just had 3 fantastic new beers at Austria, Germany and America so they winning with me.

Is it just me or is the merch particularly expensive this time around? Yes it’s Disney, yes it’s always been expensive, but $40 for a little wine cup is insane.

Welcome to tariff hell.

Used and after 1 pm ticket today and was able to hit up 6 booths - France and America had long lines but the others were rather short - was expecting more being opening day.

Our favorite booth was America, the seafood roll was really good and pretty substantial so though very fairly priced at $8.75. the pudding cake was really and I enjoyed the beer flight. We liked Spain a lot too - and very large portions there (though we were getting pretty full by that point). Also really like the Karaage at Japan. Korean BBQ Wings and Cider Flight at Brew-wings Lab were also hits.

Anyone know what's currently being served in Communicore Hall? Last year, we had Macatizers and Festival Favorites. I know that, recently, it featured a Goofy Summer Kids Menu - Are they still serving that? Did the opening of the Food and Wine Festival change that?
