Are you kidding?! You only do Food and Wine once unprepared! I have this down to a science... I copy paste all the menu info from Disney food blog to a word doc after the festival opens and prices are out. Print it out and check off what I’m interested in. That’s obviously too much so when reviews start rolling out I re-evaluate list and highlight what I want as I narrow it down. Set it aside and then later I decide how much I’m buying/spending and slash my way down to that. I bring the paper (or a screenshot or updated pdf on my phone if I’m really on my game) to DCA and first thing I do is grab a passport and mark everything I’ve decided to try for easy reference through my trip.

For Epcot F&W I even pay a couple bucks on ebay for someone to mail me the passport so I can prep it before my trip!

By the way, there's an app for that now. Found it last year. Third party, so dependent on the developers, but they've been updating it for each festival. I just wish they'd add the CA ones.

Ummm I think there might be a problem - the drink options sound amazing this year- I might be in trouble if I can’t choose!

 

[kappyfamily]

Has the price of the sip and savor come out yet?

 

[dina444444]

I’m bummed the salmon poke didn’t come back this year, but happy that the artichokes are vegetarian again.

 

[Astylla]

FYI - Disneyland site updated with menus now with prices so can plan ahead best use of sip n savor coupons!

Where is “outdoor vending cart”? And why doesn’t it have a name like the other booths?

So part of this list I got from the official Disney Parks Blog post , so it likely will be near Paradise Gardens and listed on the actual tasting passport.

You can see the list here :https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...california-adventure-food-wine-festival-2020/

I was actually referring to the Disney blog with my question and not you or your post, sorry to be confusing. I was just wondering why Disney put the empanadas in a generic sounding “outdoor vending carts”? They sound good and I can’t wait to try them, but why such an nondescript name and where will this “outdoor vending cart” be located? It made me chuckle a little because all of the Food and Wine fest booths are “outdoor vending carts”, really

4 in half days and ill be there. we are not spicey foodies or drinkers but still see plenty of food to try out.

If I recall the one from the Festival of the Holidays, it was literally a cart, like the popcorn carts. I almost missed it walking by coming out of the area. I also only saw it on weekends, which I thought was odd.
