Sigh...a $14 glass to match the free glass I received a couple years ago
what is everyone thinking of the food. I just went through the list of food and i found maybe 2 things I would actually eat from the pics. When I read the wording for each I found ALOT of stuff that really peeked my interest and then I looked at the pics and was totally let down. The wings are really the only thing I'll try and I know mine are prob better that I make at home. It's such a let down anymore. Last year we tried 4 things and gave up. Heading out of the park and had a quick bite over in the revamped cafe. That chicken sandwich was the best thing I had. It's just so sad anymore.
I'm local-ish so I'm sure I'll continue to go but agree that it's nothing like it used to be and if I had to travel farther, I would no longer be planning a trip around it like I used to. The other festivals are much more fun. I wasn't even really wowed by the food this year. And goodness it's so hot in August and September.We just returned from 3 days at festival. We have been going for years. Nice trip but we agreed that if they don't bring back the demos and the luncheons, next year will be our last F&W.
Hi everyone! A quick question about paying at the booths with a gift card. In the past I’ve used a physical GC but I will be going with a digital one this year. Is it possible to pay with a digital one, can I add it to my apple wallet and they can scan it? Thanks so much!

Thanks!Yep, they scan the barcode on your apple wallet. Did that in September!
We just got back from 12 days, and didn't purchase a single kiosk item. The items weren't priced for grazing, IMO. Instead we had nice dinners at BlueZoo, Jiko (twice!), and California Grill, and attended the Swan & Dolphin Food & Wine Causeway event. Next year will be a shorter trip unless the demos and special events come back. (oh, and we also went off property and had a nice dinner at Four Flamingos).We just returned from 3 days at festival.

Jiko twice is the way to travel!! I'd love to hear more about your experience at the Swan and Dolphin event and also Four Flamingos (if not in this thread then in dining reviews).We just got back from 12 days, and didn't purchase a single kiosk item.

Yay!Another update on Communicore Hall & Plaza. Maybe will be completed in time for the 2024 Festival?

Sure hope so. If for nothing else then just to take down the walls. It's a mess right now. The DisneyLAND F&W festival in CA has continued to feature celebrity chef demos so I'm hopeful. When do we think they'd have to start planning the '24 festival? Around now? I'm not sure the team that used to do all the booking and planning is even still there.Another update on Communicore Hall & Plaza. Maybe will be completed in time for the 2024 Festival?

In the past, the planning for the next year's festival started almost as soon as the current one ended.Sure hope so. If for nothing else then just to take down the walls. It's a mess right now.
