Wrong Pam. Pam Smith is the annoying self absorbed one who hosts the demos.At least they warn you that this will be all about her. She’s the reason I quit going to a lot of events

Mumble Grumble Mumble Grumble. Don't hate me but being a Californian and only having my first WDW trip 11 years ago I don't get figment. I was excited for a Remy Cup. Not a fan of Figment. Oh well might still do the quest and give the koozie to a friend who collects Figment
Another non-figment fan here, but a pp mentioned they had more than the figment design.I don't get the Figment love either
I just spent the weekend at Disney. Got to Epcot early both Sat and Sunday and hit the booths I wanted to with no problem. Went again Sunday evening and again no long lines
That said I was done. I’m not sure why but maybe I’ve just gone too many years in a row, the food options don’t change that much.... may take 2019 off.
There are two items from previous festivals that I sorely miss, and the Griddled Cheese is one of them. The other is the Pavlova from the Australia booth. I can’t believe they replaced it with a boring yellow cake.I feel that way sometimes, but then again I get mad when they replace something that I like. I'm still missing the griddled Greek cheese. I really wish they would replace one of the waffles at the Belgium stand with something else.
I was shocked at how crowded Epcot was but how short the lines were. It was like that for the two weeks we were there. When it was crazy hot most folks walking around seeking shade. Hard to find a shady place to enjoy our food & wine thoughI just spent the weekend at Disney. Got to Epcot early both Sat and Sunday and hit the booths I wanted to with no problem.

YES! the pavlova was a favorite of mine and I feel the same about the cake but I've never found anyone else who agrees with me!!!!There are two items from previous festivals that I sorely miss, and the Griddled Cheese is one of them.

I don't recall ever having the Pavlova, maybe the berries were raspberry. But that Lamington is not something I would ever even try. I don't do shredded coconut and since it's covered in it I won't eat it. I really wish they would replace it with something else. And I'm sick of the Apple Strudel & Schinkennudeln in Germany. The Spatzle was better IMO. They have few decent items they could rotate yearly instead of the same old same old every year. At least Italy finally got some decent items. I missed the year Canada served Trout so I never got to taste it. The one I really miss is the Flourless Chocolate cake they served in Ireland years ago. The dessert they have now is OK but the Flourless Chocolate cake was to die for. Also wish they would bring back a Scandanavian booth since I think they have way too many Asian offerings and could use a bit more non-spicy offerings.There are two items from previous festivals that I sorely miss, and the Griddled Cheese is one of them.

Didn't see the Piri Piri shrimp listed in the WDW food and wine app. However, it's at Africa and it's quite good. I love Piri piri.
The Hanson Brother's Beer Company Mmhops Pale Ale was also not available at Fife and Drum, and wasn't listed on their product board despite being in the app. I asked a cast member in the booth about it, and they said they received a bad batch. I assume a replacement will come in at some point.Well that’s a great tip, I hope I remember to find those, sounds delicious. I wonder why they added that one and why this is the first I’ve heard about? I’m not obsessing about F&W or anything...
