Epcot food & wine last weekend/day
We will be arriving in Florida on Fri 9th November. The Food & Wine festival ends on Monday 12th November. Can anyone please advise on the following:
1. Is it worth going to the festival at all? 2. Is it best to avoid the weekend? 3. Will it still be in full swing on Monday 12th, given that it is the last day? Many thanks in advance! |

1. Yes, the sheer variety around both the food and drink is genuinly worth it. Given that its in World Showcase, you can spend hours their, leisurely pacing around, sampling as you choose. Our only grip was, in 2 weeks, we only went to Food and Wine 3 times, and we still didnt sample everything
2. Weekends are very very busy as the locals also attend, but like anything in Florida, the weather will have an impact on crowd levels that day. 3. Sorry, but cant answer this (have only attended in Septembe), id imagine if its still on, all stalls should still be in attendance |

General wisdom is avoid weekends, particularly if it is the Food and Wine half marathon weekend, as crowds get crazy.
We went during the week and spent a whole day eating round the World - it was amazing.

It’s definitely worth going (in my opinion). Back in 2012 we went mid-week then returned on a weekend as that was the only time we had left. There was a noticeable difference in crowd level but not enough to make us want to leave the park.

We are doing the F and W Festival for the first time in October but decided to change our visiting day to in the week as read that weekends get very busy.

It’s definitely worth doing but the last few days and the last weekend in particular can be horrifically busy. I’d be more inclined to go mid morning and would avoid evenings.

Thanks for all of your replies and advice!
I think we might go in the morning on the Monday 12th Nov, then return to Epcot later in our holiday when normality has resumed! I'd really like to see Illuminations. |
