    Yeah there is very little to actually do. It's installed by a landscaper sponsor, and seems this must be what they want to push.

    This is quite literally the lamest playground I’ve ever seen.

    Anyone know what's currently being served in Communicore Hall? Last year, we had Macatizers and Festival Favorites. I know that, recently, it featured a Goofy Summer Kids Menu - Are they still serving that? Did the opening of the Food and Wine Festival change that?

    Used and after 1 pm ticket today and was able to hit up 6 booths - France and America had long lines but the others were rather short - was expecting more being opening day. Our favorite booth was America, the seafood roll was really good and pretty substantial so though very fairly priced at $8.75. the pudding cake was really and I enjoyed the beer flight. We liked Spain a lot too - and very large portions there (though we were getting pretty full by that point). Also really like the Karaage at Japan. Korean BBQ Wings and Cider Flight at Brew-wings Lab were also hits.

    Is it just me or is the merch particularly expensive this time around? Yes it’s Disney, yes it’s always been expensive, but $40 for a little wine cup is insane.

    Why is it a "they won" situation? If people truly enjoy the event enough to go, then everyone can still win. Not everything has to be an them vs us or something...

    The great thing this year is because of the lower attendance, the lines for the food samples will be manageable, ;)
