Was already excited about making the F&G, over the moon about the addition of food!

Colleen27 · 02-08-2013, 09:54 PM

Super excited - I'll have one day there in March and two in April, lots of time to sample some goodies.

ColoradoDis · 02-08-2013, 10:52 PM

Can't wait to try all of these treats! We adding extra time at EPCOT to enjoy them in May.

Ro Z · 02-08-2013, 10:59 PM

So I guess I will be heading down in April to see what the fuss is about.

It's so nice of you to make such a sacrifice! Lol

I'm excited! We have never been to F&W. We will be there in May; trip overlaps the end of F&G and the start of SWW. I see a lot of items I want to try: the Baked Goats Brie and the Trifles in the UK, the Moroccan sweet pancake, pretty much everything from Japan and China, the Lasagna Primavera, the savory German Bread Pudding.

And the Dole Whip. OMG, the Dole Whip. I've avoided the classic Dole Whip Float from the MK because I'm not that big a fan of pure pineapple juice so I just get the Dole Whip or twist by itself. But a Dole Whip float made with Rum? Heaven in a cup!

Now I just have to try to figure how to fit all these lovely goodies into our plans. I'd convinced DH to try DxDP this trip so we'll have lots of lovely snack credits, but simply because we're getting so much food with the DxDP I know DH is going to be very resistant to paying oop for any other food. I'll work on it.........

MichelleWDWfan · 02-09-2013, 10:56 AM

Never been to the F & W, so looking forward to the F&G and getting to eat around the world trying new goodies.

I'll be in WDW March 6-12 going to Epcot 6th & 8th.
So glad I didn't make a lunch ressie on the 8th. My first stop...Dole whip with spiced rum near Canada. sounds delish!

FigmentChick · 02-09-2013, 02:11 PM

I saw this the other day and was so excited! Then I remembered that I don't go until October/November.

I would love to do a quick getaway, but with airfare the way it is, can't swing it.

vakamalua · 02-09-2013, 05:31 PM

We will be at EPCOT on March 5, the day before F&G officially begins. Anyone think the food kiosks will be up and running?

stink · 02-09-2013, 07:55 PM

Super excited ...can't wait for May 5th ! Plan to drink and eat my way around WS while taking time to smell the roses !

makingplans4WDW · 02-10-2013, 10:17 AM

So excited! 1st time @ F&G and we get to eat around the world too. Crab tostadas sound delicious... And so does a watermelon cocktail!

Pammy jo · 02-10-2013, 11:09 AM

Oh my gosh! The food and drinks look delicious . . . how am I possibly going to get all of it into my mouth in one day??!!

www.mouseforless.com provides the following quote (I've added the colours)... though I don't know who their source is....

"Garden Marketplaces

For the first time, Epcot chefs will cook up festival food and beverage fun, with 12 specialty themed Garden Marketplaces offering food and drink along the park’s World Showcase promenade. Chefs are tweaking the menu to include a variety of garden-inspired and global tastes. Smokehouse Barbecue and Brews will have a wood burning smoker on stage smoking the pig for their pulled pig sliders. And don't forget to stop by Pineapple Promenade for some authentic Dole Whip with spiced rum. As with the Epcot Epcot Food & Wine Festival, many of the marketplace menu items below will be available for snack credits on the Disney Dining Plan."
