So Busy At Epcot

[SteveC]

On our way to Magic Kingdom yesterday (Saturday) my wife had asked to call in at Epcot as there was something she wanted to pick up from one of the shops there. We arrived at Epcot at around 4.30pm and I’ve never known it so busy to the extent that so many people were arriving at that time they had switched off the finger print recognition at the ticket entrance so as soon as you scanned your ticket the machine turned green and you were in - and there were still big queues. The food and wine festival must be really popular. And worst of all the item my wife wanted was no longer available

It was Saturday evening when all the locals tend to turn up, thats why we never go to Epcot on a Saturday when the F&W is on.

Yep, rule 1 of Food & Wine Festival - avoid weekends.

We went to Magic Kingdom on New Years Eve a few years ago. I have never seen anything so crowded!

We were headed to Epcot one afternoon for a dinner reservation towards the end of Food & Wine a few years ago. It was so busy they were redirecting people to the Hollywood Studios car park. That was a Friday if I remember right.
