It's a nice day outside so the pictures should be good. You can tell it's going to rain later in the day though

Hmmmmph! I think 20 min is more than enough time for pics to be posted!!! Lol lol jk, everyone who's there today, ENJOY!!

 

[crazy4wdw]

WDWmagic will be posting menus prices as they become available here: http://www.wdwmagic.com/dining-filtered/food-wine-marketplace/operating/all-locations.htm

I would imagine that the Disney Food Blog will have updates as soon as they have them available.

I know the Disboards podcast team will be at the festival today so there should be videos on the site at some point today.

What is that?

Mickey Monitor is a quarterly newsletter that is published for WDW annual passholders.

Lol I just realized they said "what" and not "why"

I know this isn't food and wine related, but will that newsletter come even if you haven't activated your passes yet?

No one knows. I'm a passholder myself and I never receive it. Only my wife.

Never received MM our first year of AP. This year, I received the Spring and Summer, and this week we both got the new one! Weird....we also never got our magnet the first year, emailed and they sent one. Didn't get the new one for this year either so this post reminded me to send another email requesting it.

Looking at the prices so far, doesn't seem like the Feast for the sense package (65$ for 8 plates or beverages) should be use for food.

It is priced at $8.13 (ignoring the pin). So far the most expensive food plate I see so far is the Teriyaki Ginger Pork in Japan at $8.25.

How are the crowds for opening day?

This is pretty much the way it's been since they started the sampler - usually there are only 1-3 items of food that make sense using the coupons. We usually always use it for either the filet in Canada or the more expensive drinks.

First timer at F&W: those of you buying beer, wine, frozen drinks from booths - do you tip? I always tip bartenders when ordering drinks, but usually not walkup/takeout food places or food trucks unless they're preparing something complex like a specialty coffee drink.
(Sorry if question was already asked - still trying to work through the 122+ pages)

No, this is no different then ordering a beer with your food at a counter service restaurant.

I was shocked I got one, its the only one I have gotten with this AP.

Just call and speak with passholder guest services. Both hubby and I got our magnets and just one Mickey Monitor. I did not get the summer one I requested, but I did get the fall one 2 days ago. They won't auto mail until after your pass is active, but they can send you one out on request.
