Thanks! I’ll be there after my cruise this week, and I’m stoked!

I was going to put the coconut tres leche on there, but I’ve never had oat and almond milk. Still, it sounds yummy!!!

As a vegetarian, I see a lot more options for me this year and I'm excited! We'll be there Wed and Fri this coming week and I'll try to keep good notes.

Looking forward to reading them - I’ll be there on Sunday!

I'll be there the first week in April. I have already made my wish list on the WDW F&W app. so I have a budget of how much to put on a wrist GC. Of course, I'll get more than what is on my wish list but it has one something from every booth. I've already watched a few reviews on things.

We'll be there the second week in April. When we went in 2022 there wasn't a lot that appealed to us so we didn't partake in any of the festival food. This year there's a lot that looks good.

Here's our list (bolded items are our priorities):
Honey Bistro - chicken & waffles
Magnolia Terrace - Spicy Chicken Gumbo, Banana Foster Bread Pudding
Bauermkt - Toasted Pretzel bread, warm cheese strudel with berry compote
Trowel & Trellis - Soy-glazed sticky ribs
Lotus House - spicy mala chicken skewer, crab wontons, vegetable dumplings
Swirled Showcase - Liquid Nitro honey mascarpone cheesecake, peanut butter swirled ice cream
Primavera Kitchen - chocolate cannoli
Funnel Cake Stand - strawberry funnel cake
Fleur de Lys - beignet caramelise
Citrus Blossom - lemon meringue pie

 

[Betsyp]

I’m going to add the warm pretzel and the sticky ribs to my list!

My wife and I attended the Moonlight Magic event last night and tried the lobster tails, scallops, beef tenderloin, shrimp tempura and lemon meringue pie. My wife liked the shrimp the most and the scallops were my favorite. Neither one of us was impressed by the lobster tails and I don’t think they are worth $11 but if they’re fine if you have snack credits to use. We both really liked the pie too.

Thank you! I’ve read mixed things about the lobster …I’ll probably end up skipping it

They're both getting really good reviews.

After seeing some reviews, I took Fleur de Lys off the list and changed my Honey Bee-stro pick to the cauliflower and maybe the Honey Peach Freeze.

I also added the Beef Patty at La Isla Fresca and the Cubanito at Florida Fresh for a couple more savory options.

I didn’t put the pretzel on my list because I don’t really eat ham, but I’m guessing the cheese overwhelms it anyway, lol.

I need to find out what kind of cheese they use - if it’s Swiss (the one we call Swiss, not any Swiss cheese like Gruyère), then it’s out because I hate typical Swiss cheese

I’ve never really had plant based food, so that’s why I only lately put the coconut dessert on my list. I’m not sure how good that food will be ..

It would be my 1st time trying anything Impossible. I’d rather have the real thing

The Honey Glazed Cauliflower @ Honey Bee-stro was probably one of my FAVORITES out of everything we had on Wednesday. Will definitely head back there again next trip!
