2018 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival!

[DisDadWoz]

Just made it back from being there Sat-Mon. Crowds were not horrible but it was crowded. People always complain about others being drunk and disruptive but we didn't see that at all. Overall we had a great time. Food was decent for the most part and the wine/beer sampling was good as well. We did have a couple of "bigger" favorites from Craft Stand in America (Hawiian Lion coconut coffee brew) and our usual Bumblebee from Rose and Crown. While there were plenty of tasty items we liked here were some to note.

Favorites at the booths:
-Lobster Roll from America
-Tostada from Mexico (daughters favorite)
-Grilled Spicy Shrimp from Australia
-Maple bourbon Cheesecake from the Cheese stand

Should have skipped:
-Grilled Tuna from Hawaii
-burger from Next Eats (Mainly because they couldn't get their act together)

Surprise of the trip
-Hummus Fries from Morocco (went back two more times!)

Please continue to post. We are going in 5 days and my son who loves food is looking forward to using his snack credits there.

we enjoyed the cheddar stout dip in ireland. had it 3-4 times last year. glad to see it’s back this year, but our trip isn’t until late november, so we’re missing out on F&W this year

I’ll be there on October 17th! My friends and I are super excited to try things.

We're going for our first run either this Monday or Tuesday to hear Postmodern Jukebox.

Any new Vegetarian snacks worth getting this year? (I'm not myself but part of my group is.) I know we're going to try the Impossible Burger if nothing else.

 

["El Gran Magnifico"]

$1720.08

Just in case anyone is wondering. (That's eating and drinking one of everything at the Kiosks....so date night would be $3,440.16)

Took a trip over on Saturday and bought more than I probably should've. Crowd wasn't too bad.

The Spanish-style Paella from Spain and Carbonade de Boeuf from France were both fantastic. The latter was expensive for what you got though.

I'm not sure what the value of this post is. A single person could never eat a fraction of EVERYTHING that's offered at the festival. That's like adding up every item of the Cheesecake Factory menu and then saying that the CF is way overpriced.

Impossible burger!!
Hummus Fries
Not new but the spanakopita and nachos from Greece are absolute treasures
Butternut Squash ravioli was very good as well

You mean to say that an average human doesn't eat 25,000 calories in a day?

I've since seen the Orlando Sentinal article, so I guess it serves as a comparison from year to year.
