Each to their own.

The shacks are a blight on the landscape.

We avoid F&W like the plague. We were gutted this year when the start was brought forward even earlier. We only saw RoE twice as opposed to the half dozen plus times of previous years. And one of those we arranged so we didn't have to be in the mob.

And not opinion but fact, the festivals prop up the parks bottom line. They're a band aid to fix years of neglect.

My family and I have been to F&W a few times, and purposely skipped the park last year because of it. Even during the week , it was a party atmosphere with small children in tow. Crowded and full of drunk people, I didn't want to believe the festival had devolved, but it had. At least on every occasion we were there.

The average person who visits WDW comes for one week every few years. Most big fans come for one week yearly. Who cares if there are special events year-round? It's nice to feel like something special is happening when you visit. Better than a crappy marketing campaign "celebration" about taking pictures.

My family especially enjoys the F&G. All the spring flowers are beautiful, the topiaries amazing, and the experts on hand to answer all my children's questions about bonzai growth and maintenance = priceless. I can't tell you how many bonzais (sp?) they have lovingly killed over the years trying to master the art. The point here is, they learned something that stuck with them, and they still try to this day.

It took a long time for each food item to be plated and served because each dish is so fancy. Lines for food could be epic on Saturdays and Sundays. Everything I ate tasted good though.

This Herb Ryman Epcot print is awesome. Is it for sale at the festival?

Was wondering the same thing! I would love full size prints of the Ryman artwork. Hoping someone can chime in if it's an item for sale.

EDIT: https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...for-epcot-international-festival-of-the-arts/

This link indicates the poster will be for sale and that select items will be appearing on the Shop Disney Parks app next week.
