The downside: No mention of an IR meal. Oh well. 
 

The upside: Season pass holder tasting card! 
 

Much much more info!

Good to know; thanks for posting the info. I'm looking forward to that new scavenger hunt with the QR codes.

Looks like the also consolidated t  hey e entertainment to one stage instead of throughout the park like last time. Hope not! That added to the atmosphere

I partially agree but also it didn’t work. The Chinese group drew large crowds and the Indian performers would do their show in front of no one.

I think being buried in the back of the gardens vs on the park to chick fil a didn’t help

I agree that arrangement had both its upsides and downsides. While it was nice that each country had its own area, getting to said areas and seeing the performances may have been difficult if you didn't know where to look. For example, in 2019, I pretty much knew about India and China's performances (India was probably my favorite pavilion - I went through a "Bollywood" music phase in High School and still enjoy that music from time to time), but had to find out about Germany's performance as it happened; I also didn't realize there was a performance by Graeter's (don't remember what country was being represented there) until some time into the event. But at the same time, being on the same stage means that performances won't necessarily overlap. We'll just have to see how things go.

I didn't know Graeter's performed LOL.  But if they did, I guess it would have been Germany since Graeter's is German, yet makes the ice cream in a French pot process

Graeters is in the Italian Building, so the performance there represented Italy.
