It’s Food & Wine “OVERTIME”, folks! And, this year, we get to spend one of our annual visits to the festival in the best way EVER … with our son, Joseph, and his fiancé, Sarah. You remember Sarah. She wrote the “The Delicious (Two) Dozen!” – the All in WDW 2013 Epcot Food & Wine Festival Top “25” Desserts!

You know, the second I “pushed the button” on publishing the The All in WDW FINAL Food & Wine 2013 e-Lists!, I knew that I had forgotten something. I guess that some omission was destined to happen.

If you read my final ranking of this past Spring’s “Food” & Garden Festival, you saw that I grouped and categorized that festival’s items based on my recommendation. Can you believe I forgot to do that with 2013’s Food & Wine dishes?

It would have come in handy last night, too. As the four of us sat having dinner at the Captain’s Grille, we discussed their first-ever “attack” on the World Showcase marketplaces. They said, “We’re going to go with your recommendations.”

Whoops!

Well, I’m not certain that they’re going to follow my guidance to the letter (someone even mentioned snails!), but here are my recommendations, nonetheless. Hey, if they do try something “new”, you know what that means? More pictures!!
