BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I'd imagine someone (probably DFB) will have reviews the first week. Fingers crossed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Man, the Disney money grubbers are working overtime lately! I wonder where the 10 VIP areas they are providing for the premium package will be? Taking space away from the regular guests? The $79 deal doesn't sound bad. That could be a lot of fun.

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Well, I hope so. We're doing it. It's going to be renamed 3 Moms Gone Wild after Oct. 23rd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You know where they are. You just don't know that you know. And yes, they are taking away space from regular guests. I'm assuming that they will be the lake side event venues at UK, Morocco, France, Italy, and next to the boat dock where you enter the World Showcase. Some of those locations have multiple venues which probably total up to 10. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tall Lady 2 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Quick question about Eat to the Beat: we will be there for the Pointer Sisters (super pumped!) and Rick Springfield. What concert time is best 530, 645, or 8? And how early should we arrive for seats? Any extra tips are much appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got to see him in Nashville about 5 years back. He puts on a great show. Where I saw him he even took the elevator and came up to the level where my friend and I were standing. He was right next to us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 The last two concert I went to could be heard very loudly well back up into the American pavilion Sometimes we head for the tables outside the American Adventure. You can hear the concert and still socialize with friends. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 The big package with "in-room basket". I wonder where they will leave it on the campsite :) (Yeah, I know you probably pick it up at check-in, just had to ask) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

djsamuel 322 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Quick question about Eat to the Beat: we will be there for the Pointer Sisters (super pumped!) and Rick Springfield. What concert time is best 530, 645, or 8? And how early should we arrive for seats? Any extra tips are much appreciated. Last year, the Pointer Sisters were terrific. We got there just at the start of the 5:30 show and stood in the back. For the other two shows that night, we just waited for the line to be seated, and then walked in and got decent seats. If you really want to be near the front, I would get in line no later than one hour before the show. You can still enjoy the concerts without doing that though.

Lou... 3,118 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 For some reason I thought bling was some sort of medal or jewelry.So you get a cheap tee-shirt and a bag of chips, impressive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You're close Lou. Last year my wife volunteered while my daughter, son in law and I ran it. She got a light jacket/windbreaker (not too bad really) and pretty much a bag of chips. She worked the finish line, handing out the medals, and she really enjoyed it. Fortunately, she was able to hand out the medals to all of us. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 From the Disney Parks Blog... Sneak Preview of Merchandise for 2014 Epcot International Food & Wine Festivalposted on August 5th, 2014 by Steven Miller, Merchandise Communications Manager I’m counting down the hours until I can taste my way around the 2014 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. This annual event returns to Epcot from September 19 through November 10, 2014. I’m already planning on being at the kick-off weekend to celebrate my birthday week (I’m sure I’m not the only one who celebrates her or his birthday all week long). After reading Pam Brandon’s article about new offerings this year, I caught up with the merchandise events team for a sneak preview of festival merchandise.This year, I found two different art programs – “Taste Your Way Around the World” and “Brews Around the World” – that will be featured on a variety of items. Guests should look for several familiar favorites including Chef Duffy the Disney Bear, a coffee mug and apparel items like hats. One of my favorite things is the specially designed food tray that was originally introduced in 2012. This new design includes a place to hold beverages and plenty of space for food.The Disney pin trading team created some cool limited edition pins that are presented on recipe cards. One features Jessica Rabbit with a recipe for Carrot Cake, while the other has Mickey Mouse that explains how to make Cheddar Breakfast Potatoes (now I’m hungry!). Speaking of recipes, we will also carry a new cookbook that my fellow author Pam announced in this Disney Parks Blog story.Finally, I liked this reusable tote bag that contains both merchandise logos.Look for these items and more in the Festival Center, which will be located between Universe of Energy and Mission: SPACE pavilions in Future World. Select items may also be found at merchandise kiosks throughout World Showcase once the festival opens in mid-September. We will not be offering merchandise via our Disney Parks online store this year.I hope to see you at Epcot!For more about the 2014 Epcot International Food & Wine Festive, visit the posts below:Two New Ways to Enjoy Epcot International Food & Wine FestivalReady, Set, Dial!
