Technically neither since I enter in at the back and am forced in one direction. :D

After riding SE, we start clockwise around FW. Once we're finished and since we're on that side, we start a counterclockwise around WS.

How so? After you come in the gate, you could either go clockwise and start at the U.K., or you could go counter-clockwise by making a right over the bridge and starting with France. The WS doesn't start till you get to that point anyway.

When you enter the park first thing in the moring there is no "clockwise/anti" option, there is only a single path through the world showcase as WS opens after the park opens (or at least that is how it was when I was there).

Ah.... good point. I hadn't thought of that since the only time we ever go that early is when we have a Segway tour... for which we have to come in at the front.

Depends if I want the kielbasa with pierogies from Poland or the lobster/scallops fisherman's pie from Ireland first.

For the Food and Wine Festival they do. It runs from now until the middle of November.

The Kiosk are a year to year thing. They change countries for F & W from year to year.

Ah so they do the food and wine fest there in the fall? They do the one here in the late spring. I guess they wouldn't want to try it during October since it would be hard to fight the Santa Ana winds, plus they would have to split the guest talent pool. I think it might have been the first year they did a big showing of it at DCA, the focus is on in state foods, but ours was more about getting drunk on wine and beer made locally, not so much with the food.

So, you wouldn't necessarily remember which direction you explored there either :roll: :lol:

I swear they had the entire thing set up as a challenge since each beer walk/wine tour (I think there might have been a spirits one too) would start where another would let out.

Yeah. It's usually late Sept/early Oct. through the middle of Nov. This year I think they started it a week later. New countries are South Korea and Belgium.
