Sounds good to me Tony, now that you mention it, I think Epcot would be a great place to showcase some food I’d like to try before actually visiting!

Best quote on this video…”we’ve got a couple of meatballs here…”
It’s always great to spend time with you and a pleasure to be apart of the Travel with Rick video family. Any time you need someone to trek around Disney with…I’m, your meatball…I mean, I’m your guy!

I wasn’t able to visit Food and Wine Festival this year…so you guys were able to let me enjoy a bit via video. I must say I felt a bit sad for Singapore…lol! My fav…the meatballs! In response to the previous comment, telling Andrew to keep Rick straight, I know Parkhopper John very well, which would make that even more difficult for Andrew….but lots of fun! For those of us who do not have the opportunity to visit Disney often, these videos mean a lot Rick. So thank you and keep them coming.

Hi Deanna,
Thanks for watching our show and leaving a comment! We felt a bit bad for Singapore too, felt really horrible taking John through there on his first F & W trek on Travel with Rick, but we made it through! Andrew does do a good job keeping me and even Parkhopper John in line, although we keep him pretty busy! John is a great guy, so knowledgeable and so much fun to be with, we love him and Sid, just great people!
We LOVE bring these videos to our friends here, thanks for watching!

Hello Rick ,
I just watched your video called “Travel with Rick ” and I enjoyed watching it and it was 3:00 am on Tuesday morning on November 22’nd in the year of 2011, I was looking around on the internet and saw my “classmate ” so I checked out your video. It has been over 30 years since I have been to “Disney World Epcot Center ” down in Orlando Florida where I was born not too far from . If I didnt lose my job back in November of 2008 I would like to come down to “Disney World Epcot Center ” and see my “classmate of 79 ” I ‘m going to check out the next video comming out in December . “Happy Thanks giving” and “Merry ChristMas ” to you and your family Rick .. Take Care !!! from : Jim Bulluck your “classmate79 ” 11/22/11 Tuesday 3:36 am

Hey Rick, John, and Andrew,
It has been a lot of fun to watch your vidoes touring the Food and Wine Festival. I really would like to visit Epcot for an extended visit to have a chance to try the food from all the different countries. As for a new country to be represented at the food and wine festival–how about Bosnia? I have never been there and I don’t have a clue of what their food is like.
See you next week.
Bob

Hey Bob,
Thanks as always for visiting! I appreciate all you “regulars so much!
Bosnia sounds pretty interesting, that could make an exciting new addition to food & wine!
Enjoy the holidays, Merry Christmas!

Kudos to Andrew for the traveling shots in the beginning of the video. Did he walk backwards in Epcot to do that? Very brave. 🙂
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bad review of the food or drinks before on Traveling With Rick. So I will take your word for it and be sure to avoid poor Singapore.
I don’t know about anyone else but I’m excited about the contest. Can we see the entries, or are they held in a secret vault until the contest is over? I seem to have found out about the contest a little late…holidays took up a lot of my time in the last couple weeks. I’m hoping to make and enter a video, but with Christmas coming so soon, I hope I get it done in time. Great idea, anyway. I may have dropped a few hints that I would love a contest.

Rick, Ken, Amanda, Leslie, John & all the Travel with Rick guests – I just got finished watching ALL of the Food & Wine episodes. Been working non-stop but had to take a moment for a Disney ‘fix’ and that’s to you Rick and all your guests I got it. We visited F&W in 2010 and the episode with the Fisherman’s Pie made my mouth water with the memories of that deliciousness! We were only there for maybe 11 or so days so never made it entirely around the World, but it IS in my future plans. A HUGE thanks to Andrew (traveling harris) for his excellent camera skills making these episodes even better. Can’t thank you all enough for the time and effort you all take bringing joy to all who are able to view your videos. I feel like I know Amanda (via twitter)(met you and she very briefly in 2010) and am anxious to actually meet John some day.
Hope you keep bringing us these wonderful episodes – thanks again!
