The Food & Wine Festival generlly starts the weekend after Columbus Day and ends a month later.
The booths that are set up around World Showcase have some intesting nibbles. The food offered is more like hor douvre size portions. Great to get a lot of samples of different kinds of food.
I've never attended the dinners - every time I've tried they've been sold out. We don't make plans far enough in advance to get the ressies.
It sounds like a great idea! Keep in mind that PIP II is scheduled around that time.
