Kind of looks like it. There are a few things we'd be interested in sampling but by and large... it feels like a downgrade. Maybe there was a (perceived) need to simplify/reduce menu options?

You'd think someone would have figured out by now that more savory options means more potential alcohol sales because you aren't already overloaded on carbs and sugars.

I think the same people are thinking that sweets are far easier, and cheaper, to produce as it's typically just brought into the booth.You'd think someone would have figured out by now that more savory options means more potential alcohol sales because you aren't already overloaded on carbs and sugars.

I think the park could use a break from them

A one year break would be great. I miss seeing Epcot the way it’s supposed to be sight lines not blocked every day of the year.

Which explains F&G ending on Memorial Day (May 27) this year.

Agreed. I would love to see world showcase clear of all the temporary kiosks. It could also be a yield management study to find a better balance between festival and non festival offerings in the park?

I'm mixed on this season. I'm actually quite excited about a number of items on the menus. But, I agree with the general sentiment. But, I'll hold out hope.
I was concerned about Festival of the Arts. There were definitely fewer dishes I was excited for, though the several I had were actually all quite good.

Why should they? Is the unfortunate mindset that management has settled into, up until recently attendance was blossoming.

All those Food and Wine special dinners and tastings?
Even FOTA already cut those Retro EPCOT living statues.
These Festivals are shells of their former selves
