- Thread starter Gavin
- Start date
If anybody wants my autograph just look for the guy wearing a cool T-shirt. Jk I don’t do autographs
BGW tweeted that the event starts at 11 am tomorrow. It's hard to know which is more reliable though—the website or the park's social media... ?
PS: Historically booths open at 11.

We are already working that problem. I have added Desserts to the spreadsheet, and should have the other missing data this afternoon.
Oh great thanks. I realize it just opened so I hope I didn't sound like I was trying to rush you... I was just being impatient.
Here is an example of the posted menus in the park:
Here is the equivalent information on the park site:
The Guide has the most information:
The park's site isn't super-helpful either.

Umm, chardonnay is misspelled on the sign. Oops!
Had the Cuban Sandwich today with my voucher. Glad I wasn't paying for it. The "slice" is maybe 1/2" - 3/4". Maybe 3 or 4 bites at most. Plenty of plantain chips to fill up the dish. Wife had Ropa Vieja and it was a meal. Interesting but it looked like very few people were partaking of the food kiosks. Saw nobody at several of them. BTW, if you don't have the price the Bloody Mary and Cucumber drinks are $11.50 and come with the hurricane glass. For that price wife said she would stick with water.
The whole idea behind food and wine is that they are tasting portions. No one item is intended to be full meals. They majority of the ones I saw today had lines but then again the park wasn't very busy today so it's not surprising that there was kiosks without guests at times.
The park had a lot of bus groups there today. Not exactly the sort of people who attend food and wine.
I didn’t get to try much this evening since I got there after work. I bought the the ten dish voucher and only used 2 punches. I did try the Carne Asada taco which was great. Had my favorite from last year Churrasco with Barzilian Lemonade. The Chicken abdobo was good but not my favorite. Lavender lemonade was to sugary in my opinion. Any suggestions on which beer I should try?
I was at the park yesterday. Their were alot of school groups there for a band competition it seemed. I got the 10 item sampler and used only 6 punches. I'm going back today to use the rest of my pass. I tried the following items yestrrday:
Caprese (Italy) - very good
Gamba Shrimp Fritters (Jamaica) - One of my favorites every year. I like the sauce they come with.
Funky Buddha Pineapple Beach beer (Jamaica) - I don't drink beer much. It was pretty good.
Brazilian Lemonade (Brazil) - Highly suggest. It was a little but really good.
Guinness Mousse (Ireland) - Good. Always enjoy this little dessert.
Strawberry Lemonade (Virginia) - OK. It tasted a little sour to me.
I left earlier than I wanted to yesterday because I was a feel a little sick. It was very humid and I started to feel ill. I'm going back later this afternoon/evening. I want to try the shrimp taco in Mexico and I need my banana foster cheesecake.
If you plan to the sampler pass, the menus at each booth will tell you will have a red symbol beside items that aren't allowed to purchase with the sampler. This included the cocktails and wine goblets. Some of the cocktails sounded good.

I have something that may help you! I posted it earlier in this thread, but seems relevant to repost now.
This is a spreadsheet listing all of the beers and wines along with their retail price and any rating I could find.

You have to either go to guest services or scan your member card at the computer like you do when you print guest tickets or other such things.
They probably should have a better way of doing it but it is what it is I guess.
