Eating At The New Booths At Disney's EPCOT Food & Wine Festival & Talking About Disney Genie!

[@heathercarr2823]

I love how Tim talks to the camera as if we are all with him in the car, and he uses plural for having umbrellas and raincoats. Makes my day so much better.

[@lizzauriek4846]

And love when Jen asks Tim “did we show them…” or “ did we tell them?” As if we were all hanging out together.

[@katherinehodgson6837]

I also love this, makes the videos feel so welcoming. Keep doing what you are doing Tim. Your videos are the best!

[@virginiahartling8623]

I said to my.mom it always takes a minute to know if Jens there because he always says we're at epcot...but he may mean the viewers not Jen

[@ashlynnicole4624]

I'm thinking he had a friend with him. But it does make it feel more personal 😍

[@DisneyRecipeReel]

Like Mr. Rogers with Kermit's voice. Very sweet.

[@porterskennards]

"you have to like mango....to like mango....." yes, Tim. yes.

[@rach5516]

🤣🤣🤣

[@DG11500]

Lolololololololol

[@Rj650k]

I can totally hear Jenn cracking up while editing that part 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lisagilmore6080]

That is how it works.

[@bassist809]

My favorite line on the entire video!!

[@anaceliawilke7549]

I love how Tim talks to the camera as if we were all in the car with him. He is such a pro at what he does!!!

[@nadinenicole.r]

Your interaction with the camera is so personal and genuine. I have been watching you for years but when you watch other vloggers you can really see a difference. Ahh. I was in Magic Kingdom yesterday and we didn’t see any Halloween pins!! 🥲

[@bradcsuka5054]

Totally agree with you. His presentation is so natural and genuinely welcoming.

[@markroberts2349]

Disney just gone too far with paying for express passes. You pay for a ticket now they want you to pay more. I’ve been to Disney so many times since 2004, well no more

[@sinthesouth]

Tim, my fiance and I were right behind you in the line entering EPCOT this rainy Saturday night but didn't want to bother you! But I've been watching you for years, so it was awesome to see you work your magic in the parks! We spotted you a few more times during the night and were like there's Tim again! Great video the new foods look great!

[@mindyschocolate]

I’d have been following behind him like the runners in Forest Gump.

[@louisegoldsmith1038]

Tim has said he doesn't mind people stopping saying hi and having a conversation

[@dannykidwell4271]

Hey Tim, when Genie gets up and running you should do a video where your day is planned by Genie to show people how it works!

[@BrewCityGillz]

Tim - “Cheese is so good.” As a Wisconsinite all I can say is wiser words have never been spoken. 🧀🧀🧀

[@viziouz19]

I wonder if Jenn keeps a collection of footage of Tim doing weird and random stuff on camera that aren't shown in these vids

[@TheJamieRicecakes]

That’s a great question

[@Charliefarley170287]

I bet there’s a blooper reel of Tim giving things different names or using different terms. And I would totally watch it.

[@PandaLiz91]

We definitely need a blooper video! That would be the best!!

[@johncollins1917]

"not a cloud in the sky"

[@sera6593]

we need a tim tracker blooper reel LOL

[@nc96gators]

My wife and i met you the original night you did this (lost footage night) and it was great chatting for a minute. You recommended the Cowboy Mac n Cheese and you are absolutely right, it was awesome!

[@vicventures9823]

Tim, your commentary on your videos can never be understated. You put so much info as well as your honest opinions about what you're seeing, tasting, and experiencing. It is a pleasure to watch your channel about your various trips with Jen and Jackson as well as your ventures into the Parks yourself.

[@deliriouslyj]

When those notifications come up on my screen and I click immediately 🥰🥰🥰 thank you Tim, Jenn and Jackson for sharing your fun adventures with us!! 🤗

[@bethanybarnes8844]

Me too! I look forward to them so much!

[@tanishahogan9396]

I feel like they should give you a discount if they are out of an element for the food booths...Also, the raclette always looks good!

[@Megan-g-9]

Tim saying “I’m looking for dessert” while looking at a menu with a warm chocolate pudding cake and then walking away is cracking me up

[@tomchadburn9184]

Km mmm

[@shelbybickthedogmom]

That pudding cake was made with Irish liquor so I’m think he didn’t get it since it’s made with alcohol.

[@Megan-g-9]

@@shelbybickthedogmom that’s a good point! I did not notice that at all but that would make total sense

[@jennifer15497]

Thank you so much Tim for sharing so much information about what is happening at the parks! So helpful when it comes to planning our family’s vacation.

[@christinerountree9167]

love to watch your videos could watch all day long. Its great to get ideas of what the food looks and tastes like see the places that would interest us to dine/eat when we travel to Disney.

[@horrormoviescreamqueen13]

Spaceship Earth is always a walk on in the afternoon/evening.... Its great!!

[@chrissierementer8220]

You have no idea how much this just made my day. The husband and I do food and wine every year and I was so disappointed that half the booths weren't opening until October. This gives me hope for our September trip.

[@laraheumann5332]

seeing/hearing you sit by the germany music makes me so happy! It's been over a year since us CRPs got sent home, and it feels so nice to finally hear our music again

[@HolyMusicalAshleigh]

I just wanted to thank you for stopping to chat for a few minutes when I ran into you at Epcot the other day! It had been such a long (and wet) work day and your kindness made it so much better! Also, thanks for the food recommendations, I can’t wait to go try the cowboy Mac and cheese!

[@noreenswartz4163]

Thank you so much for explaining genie app so understandable thank you again great video 😊

[@angelr8910]

I just want to say, I have been watching awhile and love seeing yourself and family enjoy life. Thanks for always taking us along for the ride. I must say wish they had a way for those at home to try some of there food. That would be pretty awesome. So proud for your family to be able to live this life with y’all hard work. It doesn’t go unappreciated!! Thanks y’all!!

[@MicheleKlinger]

I’m gearing up for a Disney/Universal trip in 27 days and counting!!! Your videos of all the theme park happenings are making me even more excited and helping me prepare for how things will be when we go. I’m going with my best friend and one of the things we are so excited for is the Food and Wine festival. We also are really excited for HHN and can’t wait to see your take on that too!

[@sarah78neidrich83]

We are going next month too

[@MicheleKlinger]

@Bridget Clement A bday trip will just be all the more special! Enjoy

[@geoschilling]

Lucky we went for a month and a half during summer and we go for a month and a half every 2/3 summers but next summer is our off summer I’m super sad. :(

[@mzsabby94]

This is my favorite KZbin channel. And Disneyland is my home park and preferred park.

[@kazachick]

Tim can I just say you are the only vlogger who has explained the Genie + clear and concise for a person who’s never been to Florida yet we had booked up to go this year from Scotland but of course was cancelled you’re content has kept me and my bf up to date so we can plan to go eventually thank you so much much love your content is amazing and Jackson is such the cutest 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

[@ribbotson500]

Looking forwards to seeing Jen’s reactions to these delicious looking foods 💗

[@gc4644]

Lightning Lane is just another example of Disney nickle & diming guests for something that was free for years (fast pass). At this point Walt would be beyond disgusted with how his parks are being managed..

[@jennmende2673]

100% agree!

[@doreenbonosconi879]

We would travel from CT to Disney World when our daughter was little as often as we could. We moved to Florida( an hour away from Disney world) 16 years ago and haven’t set foot in Disney World. Way over priced!

[@TheLostfoundation]

You say that but when Disneyland and Walt Disney world both opened you had to buy a ticket for each ride now you can ride each and every ride as many times as you want.

[@gc4644]

@@TheLostfoundation thank you for further proving my point. I remember the "E-ticket" days quite clearly. You could buy a book of tickets for about $12. But when Disney switched to a single price business model, the price more than doubled! Yet another example of Disney price gouging it's guests..

[@rachelphillips8499]

I love the way Tim is describing the food from the Kenya booth !

[@jillfischer5724]

Thank you so much Tim for your incredible videos. Absolutely love your energy and personality. You and Jenn bring great joy to my days.

[@manguian8984]

Basically: *Basic Genie FREE, no rides included, just plans day. *Genie plus - pay $15/day per person access to most rides via lightening lane - NOT high demand rides!! *Premier rides - like Rise of Resistance an additional fee (Fee for each premier ride not disclosed yet), on top of $15 for day fee. One Person >> Total = park ticket + genie plus ($15) + premier ride + premier ride (2 premier rides per day). Geez!! 🤦🏽‍♀️ 💸

[@GrumpyCanCan]

But you don't have to pay the$15 for genie plus in order to utilize the premier rides. You can pay to ride a premier ride without buying the genie+.

[@manguian8984]

@@GrumpyCanCan Correct!! 👍🏽 I was just laying out the full concept of fees as I know I would want to do all the rides, especially the high demand ones! 😆 But, not happy about the whole thing! Wish they would have just increased price of entrance ticket and left all else alone! 😏

[@manguian8984]

@@GrumpyCanCan Forget to add, although things could change cause it's DISNEY!! 🙄 lol!

[@nickcosta8075]

My favorite part of every video is when tim hunts for snacks

Omg, I made it walking in the background at 14:04 .. my life is complete!

[@victoriarudovitz5509]

Hello Trackers! Thank you for explaining genie + the best you can! Waiting to see how it works in action😁

[@andreaf7458]

Thank you, Tim for explaining Genie/Genie+/Lightning Lane! We really appreciate it!

[@leahelkins4212]

You put the most positive spin on the Genie+ that I’ve heard yet! You sort of made me feel a little better about it! Still hate it but thanks for your spin😊

“You have to like mango, to like mango” lol yes, that actually does make sense to me Tim.

[@lorib.6327]

Love the apple orchard merch!!! Thank you so much, Tim for explaining everything so well!!

[@jmleigh3]

I get genie plus but I am super disappointed with Disney. I have been a regular at Disney but maybe I’m a Universal regular now 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thanks Tim Tracker and fam for keeping us informed. ❤️❤️❤️

[@k29rote]

Thank you both for all of your videos. And the information. Also for being vaccinated and respectful of others in the parks. That’s why you are the best!

[@alanahorrigan9161]

The wait times at the moment are probably not to bad because there are no international travellers. Its going to be crazy when the rest of the world can come back as so many people have missed their holiday and cannot wait to get back x

[@readyforthemoshpitshakabrah]

ive been watching your videos for years, for some reason i find comfort in them! love you tim and jenn

[@witabif]

wow I really love the illustration style of the mickey and minnie on the apple orchard merch! it looks like etching or woodcut/linocut. it works so well for the rustic feel. love it.

As a UK traveller we buy 14 day tickets including memory maker do you think this will be kept on our tickets or added to genie app.

[@coxyroxursoxoff12]

You know it's good when Tim say Holey Macoroni

[@briandonegan8480]

This whole Genie+ and paid Lightning Lane is a cash grab. I realize they are trying to recoup lost revenue due to the shutdown, especially from other parks aroujd the world. However even though its optional to pay the upcharges, the fact that they exist hacks me off to the point of not wanting to go at all. And I'm saving a ton of money living vicariously through KZbin

[@missexesandohs]

100% agree!

[@annetterennee5617]

Totally agree! I see nothing but complaints around it. I wonder if after covid they will reconfigure it

[@terrificthemeparkshopper6338]

Great explanation of Genie, Genie +, Lightning Lane...thanks for that! I’m actually looking forward to the new system!

[@shaelan]

The Genie thing has caused some kind of an uproar, but people don't remember that Disneyland has been doing that for a while. When I went in 2018, you had to pay 10 dollars a day for fast pass. The only thing is this is this seems like with the lightning lane thing it's gonna be more expensive.

[@kristinmoore4624]

We had max pass but you could still go get fp for free, so not *really* the same thing lol. I don't really mind the Genie thing though.

[@mattwitthaus612]

My husband grew up in France and his favorite meal was Raclette. They have these machines with individual pans where you put onions, mushrooms, and lardon (small pieces of ham) and then melt the cheese over it. Then you pour all of that over a smashed boiled potato that you put butter, salt and pepper on. It's so good. And I agree that raclette smells gross like feet, but it tastes so good.

[@kevinmccallister3133]

Great vid. Will be there in October. Writing down the good stuff to try. Cowboy Mac, mango smoothie, Kenya coffee beef

[@joanne_luvsdisney534]

You should try the Raclette too…it is so delicious

[@GhostofSicklesleg]

“ I don’t even like macaroni & cheese” Tim…… what kind of monster are you😂😂🤣😂

[@samantharose9375]

Do you have to purchase genie+ in order to purchase the separate big ticketed rides. For example, can I just pay the extra money to ride Rise of the Resistance or do I have to purchase genie+ first?

[@kimbuettner8614]

Yep. The cowboy mac was definitely my favorite dish! It was nice meeting you this evening after you tried the dish from Kenya!

[@JadeLews]

Madras curry's are amazing, sometimes really spicy but amazing! And the mango lassis are insane, we have them here in the UK on asda supermarkets x

[@LauraOnTheMove]

Bushel baskets on the ears with the apples! Bit of a stretch on the design, but cute!

[@conniemarple1305]

Question. I am not from FL and I am not an AP. What if I pay the $15 a day to utilize the Lightening Lane (LL) pass and then I sign on the day I am going to use my LL and the only time I can get my LL pass for Big Thunder Mtn is 7 pm. So now I can’t get another LL pass until I have ridden BTM so the LL pass doesn’t benefit me all day long! Of course I am basing this scenario on how we got to pick our fast passes. But I cannot see how that is beneficial. Especially on a “after hours/party” night when MK closes early. Thoughts?

[@sarahhayler3999]

Tim....you need to buy a raclette machine, they are awesome!! I have one use it all the time. you and jenn would love it. 😀😁 x

Poor Jenn didn't get to go and try all the new booths. Darn i usually go this week but had to move it to end of July and this makes me mad that those booths were open now. Also how less crowded it was. Well next year I am moving back to florida so I can go to the next one😊. Thanks Trackers ❤

That “weird tasting ham” @ 21:33 is called prosciutto, a delicacy in Spain.

Tim summed it up when talking about Genie and Lightning lane. “Very very confusing”.

[@ryans7153]

"Let's try a big ole glob of cheese" lmao

[@motherwolf8407]

I laugh every time Tim says camera noise because either Jen leaves in the "camera noise" words and is laughing at Tim, or Tim isn't communicating to Jen to tell her he thinks she is going to use a camera noise. Anyway it's cute! Lol

[@sspence5784]

Relaxed again.

[@skylerroberts9399]

My main complaint with the new lighting lanes isn’t even the price, I just hate the fact that you constantly have to be on your phone trying to book reservations and rides and checking wait times. I like to just go to the parks to walk around and plan as I go and disconnect from my phone, Dont wanna be staring at my screen half the time I’m there !

[@annstaudt7613]

Great videos, thanks for sharing

[@benwilson2225]

I don't understand the new genie+ system, but will all standby lines still be available for ALL attractions? Will paid guests be able to fairly queue for ROTR in a standy line without a virtual queue?

Jen is going to have to come out later and try that curry from the India booth. That looks really interesting.

[@MyBackyardScience]

Those tiny earth photos are cool.

[@tararockrevivalbebe6427]

Wait a sec, am I hearing you correct, Tim? So instead of getting a fast pass for no cost Disney is now switching to lightening pass that we have to pay? 💲 The last time I took my son to Disney in 2015 just him and I it cost me serious bucks. We took advantage of fast pass since we never get to go often so we could have rode more rides instead of waiting. Now they are adding more fees. Damn I’m never gonna be able to get back there unless I save save save save or find myself a millionaire husband holy moly. If I mis-understood let me know please that’s ridiculous.
