    Question Is anyone planning on doing the F&W Fest??

    I just realized, in all the excitement of thinking about being able to come down for the party, that not only was I going to be able to do MNSSHP, but that the F&W Fest will be going on!! It is one of my FAVORITE events, and I want to be sure to find time to hit some of the kiosks. Is anyone arriving Thurs or staying over 'til Monday that would want to go for awhile?? I am so excited to be able to do it again!!

    Yeah! Looks like we have the beginnings of a fun group! We should pick a time and place that works to meet for the majority of people... what fun!

    If you haven't already, let us know you preferences re: day & time...

    Mine - probably Thursday late afternoon/early evening before the meet up at Universal Studios. I could also do Sunday, but am leaving that open right now, as I am unsure of other things....

    We arrive Sunday the 21st. Thurday would work for us. If I remember, Sunday's schedule calls for DHS, then the podcast taping at BLT in the afternoon. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    General rule -- if you ever can't find me during the trip, the first place you should check is the Greece booth. That will be inhaling the griddled cheese.

    I always move between the sausages and pierogies in Poland and the craft beer tent. Every once in a while I'll move along and get cheese somewhere.

    I'll be in EPCOT on Thursday, as well. Looking forward to the F&W as I haven't been to it since 2005. And I don't know what griddled cheese is, but it sure sounds delicious!!

    You're in for a treat. The griddled cheese dish at the Greece booth is similar to a popular appetizer called saganaki. It consists of a Greek goat's or sheep's milk cheese that is lightly fried. It is then covered with sweet honey and chopped pistachios. Delicious.

    I remember that a few years ago you could use snack credits for samples. Is that still the case?

    Last year that's pretty much how we spent our entire free dining plan. Between snacks and converting counter service meals my girls ate like royalty in EPCOT. Of course, we didn't have much left over for the rest of the trip...

    In what way can you convert counter service meals?

    As far as I know there's no "official" way, as it's not in the small print. But at the register they will take one counter service and turn it into three snacks. It all depends on the cast member. If they know how to do it, maybe? For example, they didn't have a problem doing it at the resort or at the F&W kiosks, but for some reason the candy shop on Sunset Blvd in Disney studios wasn't allowed to do it.
