Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 By the way, who is going to go before I get there and give me all the tips about what I need to try? TCD? OK, if nobody else volunteers, I'll do it.So basically they have turned it into the Food and Wine Festival (With Lots Of Pretty Flowers!).Yes, Food and Wine plus flowers and minus the sausage on pretzel roll.How long before it's Food & Wine 24/7?Seriously, I want to know because I'll be there!These food and drink offerings are much more than I expected.It is almost like the F & W Festival.Some of this stuff sounds pretty interesting. This is good. I love F & W, but there is a lot of repetition every year. The BBQ place in America sounds great.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 These food and drink offerings are much more than I expected.Me too. And a few of them sound better than some of the F&W stuff. In particular I wish Morocco would swap out their usual F&W menu for this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 So basically they have turned it into the Food and Wine Festival (With Lots Of Pretty Flowers!).We've been to F&G the last two years, just because it happened to coincide with the dates we wanted to travel. It was never enough to make me want to go to WDW just to see it. Now it's a definite possibility! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 The Disney Food Blog and other F&GF sites are not Disney sites. If you want the food offerings and everything else directly from the Mouse's mouth, click on the link for the official Disney web site.Click on "read more" to see more details.And if you want even more stuff, ask for it here because we have more than what's out there.http://www.epcotinspring.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Love DFB for their reviews and photos. At this stage of the game, until the Festival starts, I think most of the Disney fan sites are posting essentially the same info as the Disney site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.....Gary 85 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 We spent a week at the Wekiva Falls KOA outside of Sanford. Met some old friends here and did a couple races up at Daytona. He was in an interstate parking lot this morning. Marilyn and I will watch the 500 from here and then pack up for the long 1 hour drive south. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Flower & Garden news from the Disney Parks blog... Flower and Garden, Food and Beverage a Perfect Match at the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festivalposted on March 6th, 2013 by Pam Brandon, Disney Parks Food WriterThis year’s Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival elevates the “farm to table” trend to new heights, with Festival Farms around each Garden Marketplace to show how the plants grow that are part of the delicious food and beverages served daily at the festival through May 19.This fun video highlights the synergy between the garden and kitchen teams, and gives a little insight into the connections. We can’t wait for a taste of tomato wine with shrimp and grits, or the Florida watermelon salad with arugula!http://youtu.be/53HXFKnecy8http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2013/03/flower-and-garden-food-and-beverage-a-perfect-match-at-the-epcot-international-flower-garden-festival/ First Look: Merchandise for the 2013 Epcot International Flower & Garden Festivalposted on March 6th, 2013 by Steven Miller, Merchandise Communications ManagerI’m looking forward to the return of the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. This year’s event will feature millions of blooms, great entertainment and new food offerings (hello, Dole Whip!) from March 6 to May 19 at Epcot. Last year, I enjoyed visiting Epcot on multiple occasions to photograph many beautiful flowers (I also snapped some wonderful images in the butterfly garden). This year, my photographic journey started at the Festival Center. This highly-themed destination is located between Mission: SPACE and Universe of Energy, and it’s home to demonstrations, seminars and a merchandise shop.This year, the merchandise location resembles a garden oasis. The sound of gentle water and chirping birds filled the air as I took photos. Last year, we introduced artwork that featured Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck as topiaries. The artwork was incredibly popular with guests, so we added a Minnie Mouse topiary to the mix for this year. You can find her image on apparel, a reusable tote bag and, my favorite, a new coffee mug (look inside the mug for a cool detail).There were a few other items that caught my eye, including a new topiary-inspired headband, a strawberry ear hat, Duffy the Disney Bear in overalls, D-Tech on Demand iPhone cases and more. We are also introducing new garden statues that look like Grumpy and Dopey. Look for additional character topiary statues in the weeks to come.Here is a gallery of a few other items that you will find at Epcot during the festival.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I saw a review where someone said there wasn't much rum in it and it was just a small-ish Dole Whip with a drizzle of rum.Sounds like what you got was a darned bit better than that! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
