I’m so excited! It’s been hard these last two days without a festival :cry:

I‘m conflicted between the orange and key lime cold brew…double fist?
Would be interesting to know what the revenue effect of festival burn out is.

Remember when it was just food and wine, and people would get crazy excited for the kiosks. Now they are there practically all year around, does it make it less special?

IMHO, Snackot draws us in when we've finished off half day parks. Always something interesting to eat without struggling for an ADR or suffering through a repetitive quick service lineup. Good transportation options.

For those of us that live far away and cannot go to every festival, it’s awesome they have the food booths at each one. Flower and Garden is my favorite, so we are super excited at the food booths this year.

I think you have such turnover for guests that it doesnt matter, everything is new to a number of them. And theres that drinking around the world that i detest.

This strikes me as the kind of thing they might be loathe to test in a survey format, because they'd be afraid of getting negative responses to something they're pumping for revenue. Possibly at this stage they're trying to market and select for audiences by time of year, but that seems... well, I wouldn't put it past them, come to think of it.
