I dined at the following stands:
Every single dish was enjoyable, and quite filling. I had originally intended to order a dish from each stand, but that plan capitulated soon after beginning my counter-clockwise journey around the Showcase.
Due to the amount of images having been captured, I will include a link to a slideshow that features all of the festival's stands (sans the American Adventure Coffee Cart, due to my camera's battery's passing): Epcot International Food & Wine Festival photo slideshow
The Epcot International Food & Wine Festival began September 27th, and ends November 11th.
In addition to the images of the F&W Festival, I also snapped some pictures of an ongoing construction project at Epcot, the Moroccan pavilion's new Spice Road Table restaurant. The restaurant is due to open by the year's end; given the site's current condition, expect some Imagineer activity soon! You can see what I mean by following this link to view a slideshow of the construction site.

To answer your questions Russell:
-Superlative!
-Twice prior, I have greatly enjoyed in every time.
-Friday. The stands had virtually no waits up until 5-6:00pm, so I was able to flâneur around the Showcase. I rode a few rides in Future World, and when I returned to the Showcase for a concert (the soft-listening band Air Supply), the stands were packed. I suppose many people with the post-5:00pm, weekday pass had arrived by then.
-No, however I did peruse the displays in the pavilion. If I had to summarize, it seemed to be plucked from the airwaves of the Food Channel or HGTV. While I was there, a cheese seminar was taking place so listened in for a while. I will say it was Gouda, but the dessert seminar would probably have been Feta. Classic cheese joke :).

How was it? Have you been before? What day of the week did you visit? Did you do any special events, tastings, or any seminars/demonstrations in the old Wonders of Life Pavilion?
We almost always plan our Orlando vacations around the EPCOT F&W Festival. We were there last year, and plan to return next year as well. It is by far the best seasonal event at any theme park in the country.
