I really hope they bring back the premium package with special areas and service during the week.

Here's to hoping the "Cake Boss" crew are appearing early in the festival, not when we are there. They were on our Disney Cruise and it was awful- they were obnoxious. The entire trip was all about making sure we avoided wherever on the ship they were. Excited to see some new treats added to returning old favorites! This is our favorite event at WDW!

Um this all sounds amazing but I think it has to be Seared Venison Loin.... NOT lion lol. I don't think Disney is okay with serving lion. :P

We always look forward to the food from Italy and the margarita's from Mexico. The new Scottish drink sounds good too.
