Thank you. Is it possible to go to the mix it seminar at 12:15 and then the beverage seminar at 1:30. Time wise?

WVL was worth it because of extra time, artisanal cheeses, dedicated bar, gift bag with special glass- it sounds like all of this was absent last night???
So basically you pay almost twice the price of the cheap seats for stale bread?
Where did you buy the Sampler? Thanks for your reviews!Hopped over to Epcot to get the lay of the land and to have a few snacks. I got the Festival Sampler as I knew I would most be doing cocktails on my trip. Cast member cashier actually questioned me if that's what I was going to do otherwise she was not going to let me get it Lol. I tried 4 things yesterday at the food and wine festival:
First stop Refreshment Port for a Dole whip with Bacardi coconut rum. I LOVED THIS! It was creamy and cold perfect on a hot day. Used a ticket on it more than worth it.
Scotland Fresh Potato Pancake with Scottish smoked salmon and herbed sour cream. Awesome I got a nice hot pancake nice size in my opinion. Everything melded nicely together for 4 perfect bites! Even went well with my spiked Dole Whip.
I used my next Sampler ticket at Almond Orchard and got the Moet and Chandon Brut Rose Imperial champagne. My CM cashier was like wow great deal on that! By itself the Rose was ok. I think because it was sparkling. I've had cheaper Rose not sparkling that tasted way better alone.
Next I ended at the Cheese Studio for what I was most excited for the Cheese Trio! It did not disappoint. I loved each one I found the cream puff tasty I got a good amount of Apricot on it not too sweet though. The smoked salmon pinwheel was very tasty and the toast underneath was nice and soft surprisingly and thankfully. The strawberry macaroon was super sweet but I loved it didn't taste the pepper cheese though. This did pair really nicely with my glass of Rose. I would recommend doing both together.
Headed to the Festival center as I wanted to know where it was located since I have a demo today it is pretty far from everything else in the showcase. I'm glad I went ahead of time I've only been to Epcot one other time this past August so I don't know where everything is like the other parks I got turned around a few times.
All in all a good couple of hours at the festival and now I understand where everything is for the rest of the week.

There are 2 merchandising booth right at the entrance to the world showcase. You can pick up the Sampler and the Wristlet gift cards as well as Souvenirs.
I'll be at F&W in 4 weeks! I'm writing myself a list of items I want to try. I've been reading through this thread for the past few days to get an idea of what the highlights are. I'm thinking of starting a thread on here where posters post their favourite items from the booths (literally just posting the name of it and maybe one line on why they liked it). Not sure if that's just duplicating posts from this thread though so what do you think? Good idea or just stick to this main thread? Don't want to make too many sub-threads on F&W if people would rather stick to one main thread! Also not sure if there's already a thread like it so please point me in that direction if so

Not a problem! Glad I asked first I'll keep reading through this thread then and making a note of people's favourites as I'm going along. Thanks!I'd rather keep everything regarding F & W on this thread. I've been closing down other threads on the restaurant board that are directly related to the Food & Wine Festival
I think I'm the only person on this thread that had a bad experience with the Farm Fresh Chicken! I'm glad it worked out wonderful for everyone else though!

Here is a ranked list of the items I've tried thus far, along with where to get them and my rating. Items with multiple scores are things I tried more than once.[...]
