Food and Wine Festival -registration?

[KevinPage]

I thought I jsut read that you have to register for this? Since when, I never heard anything about a special event, its open to everyone.

Am I missing something? Thanks

It is open to everyone, but certain meals and dinners and parties and such are only a reservation basis only.

It's awfully complicated and almost everything is booked solid. I think Eeyore has the info on it all.. anyone wanna post a link?

Anyways, the demonstrations and wine tasting and food samplings are all free and no reservations as is the concert series.

Rob,

Thanks, I really had no idea. I assume they don't publicize it?

The Disney Dining Experience I was told about through friends, otherwise I would have never heard or known about it.

Thanks

The gorumet zillion course dinners with Wine Pairings in special VIP lounges and done to "themes" are almost entirely sold by word of mouth amoung wine-lovers and sell out like within the first week fo availability. They also cost an arm and a leg.

Rob,

I'm down to 2 arms and legs, so I have none to spare.

I'm not realy big into food presentation, nor wine. So I'll just go with the masses and free route by walking the park

I've seen those dinners, it's quite fancy yet quite strange. When I worked there in 2000, the most expensive dinners were located in the lounge at Wonders. It was the strangest setting. Pristine classes and dinnerware placed under a circus tent? To me, that's an awful pairing but that my opinion. Besides that dinner there was the one at Odysessy. Prepared by a famous chef and 'buffet' style if I recall. All I do know is that they may be pricey but they well worth the money.

Here's the price ranges (from 2000, may be higher now):
$60, $75, $125. The 125 dinner was the one held under the 'big top'. On a side note, there's a couple who made reservations for every single $125 dinner at WDW. Calculating with some math they spent a lot of dough. For a couple to go to 8 dinners at $125 a pop...thats $2,000! Yeowch The couple were so well known that had thier own parking spot behind wonders, with that much money spent I'd hope so!!!

For more info call 1-407-WDW-DINE.

I think the reserve dinners cost $150 this year.
