2019 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival: August 29-November 23, 2019

Hi all, when did they get rid of the mint pesto lamb chops at Australia? Is this the first year? Went in 2017 and still had them. They became a must have for all of us! Will miss them, lol!

Are there any pictures of previous offerings somewhere? I know many items are repeats, so maybe someone put up some pictures? So many things sound good, I thought seeing pictures might help me narrow down my want to try list! I can't afford that many and I can't "hold" that many either!

Is there no "Festival Center"? Or are they just using the Showcase Pavilion... and not calling it the "Festival Center"?

I still don't understand why they put the Chocolate and Cheese Studios in the absolute HOTTEST spot at Epcot!! We tried 3 times last year to go over there and it was so miserably HOT we couldn't stand it! That whole side has no shade and is like a sauna! UGH!

Any other pics of the merchandise yet? Loving the pink!!!

They were there last year as well. They're one of our favourites too so it was one of the first changes I noticed. I hope the new ones are as good!

Easy WDW has photos of everything from last year.

I see the Byjoe Punch is back on the menu in China this year. For those that appreciate a heavy pour of liquor, or for those that complain that the mixed drinks are watered down and not strong enough, make a beeline for this booth and order one. It is so strong that its almost undrinkable for the first three sips, after that you can't really taste anything, LOL. The CM's in that booth know how to pour!

No Light Lab this year?

FYI they sell that drink year round at the Joy of Tea kiosk

Doesn't look like it

I can wait to try the new “The Alps” booth... looks great!

Isn't that the booth that ran out of the "gimmick" a few days after opening last year? (If it's the booth I am thinking of I personally don't think it was a big loss! But I still miss Poland! )

My adventurous DS16 and I are going opening weekend. It’s our first time to F&W in many years (but we did do FoA and F&G this year). Based on the menu, what are a few must eats? (We like meat, seafood, desserts etc. We aren’t picky!!) Also, any tips on overrated?
TIA!

My spreadsheet for 2019 has arrived! I will not be able to update prices until the 2nd week of September, as I will be abroad opening week.

Hasn’t anyone told you, Calories don’t count when you are in Disney world.

Parks Blog post about the festival.

The charcuterie platter looks yummy. Based on the description of Emile’s Fromage Montage, it would seem that they're going back to the Cast Member stamping your passport to confirm purchase vs. in recent years the "self-serve" stickers you could use to mark the booths you visited.

I always go the the philosophy that all of the walking cancels out the calories
