Hey Soren (if this is Soren-or maybe its just a picture of Soren as the avatar), I thought that Argentina was featured last year (or the year before)? Thanks for the update! Do you work at Epcot now or are you just visiting?

[Erik Johnson]

I so can not wait. This is the best event at Epcot....yummy!

[jedimaster1227]

Has anyone here done the special dinner series events yet. I have heard that they are very good (especially if you like food). Also, it is held inside of the old Millenium Village Pavilion which would be cool to go back inside again (even though it is gutted).

[CoasterFanatic]

I absolutely LOVE the Food and Wine festival. Can't wait to make it back there.

[BeemerBoy]

No doubt, this is the best of any theme park event.

I've never been able to attend this event, but it sure sounds good.

Yes, my name is Sören and it is my picture at the avatar! I am sorry, but I know nothing about the countrys from the last years! Oh and yes, I am working at Epcot!

 

 

Damn U Epcot, Doing exciting things once I leave!!

 

Hey Chrissie, havn´t seen you for a long time! Are you okay! I hope there is a chance to meet you for a day, before you going back to the UK!?

I too love the Cheese Soup.

 

Just to let you know, if you come to Epcot during the time that they aren't doing the Food and Wine Festival, you can eat at Le Cellier and still get the cheese soup there. It is the same recipe, with a bigger cup. You get more for your money in the restuarant, but you didn't hear that from me...

My friends and I love going to the Food & Wine Festival. We have gone the last three years. It's funny as we get older our Fall plans seem to be set around when we are going to Epcot for the festival. It used to always be set around HHN. (Don't get me wrong, we still love HHN!) It is just that the festival at Epcot is always a nice relaxing day. We love to eat and drink our way around the World Showcase. The cheese soup and maple fudge from Canada are always highlights. Last year I really enjoyed the Indian, Irish, Polish and Greek Pavillions -all very good. I know this isn't unique to The Food & Wine Festival, but we always have to have a egg roll from China and end our Epcot day at the French bakery for the yum-o chocolate croissants, they are to die for!

My parents have done some of the upcharge dinners and rave about them every year!

 

This is the best time of the year at Epcot!!!

I am thinking about taking my parents with me to try one of the upcharge dinners, but we will see.

 

I think the best time of the year is actually a single date at Epcot: October 1st. That is Epcot's birthday and it is cool to be there every year on its birthday. In 2007, Epcot's birthday will be especially great if they end up doing the 25th anniversary celebration we have been hearing about.
