The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is one of the best offerings at Disney World, and it’s happening right now!
The festival started in July and runs until November, offering delicious eats, fun entertainment, and exclusive merchandise. But if you plan on visiting during the month of October, there’s something important you need to know!
For the whole month of October, EPCOT is opening earlier at 10AM daily. But, if you take a look at the calendar on the Disney World website, the Food & Wine Festival doesn’t begin each day until 11AM!
So, it looks like guests will have to wait an hour before the food booths start to open up. No worries, that’ll just give you 60 minutes to fit in some rides — maybe you can even check out Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, which opens on October 1st!
There’s going to be so much to check out at EPCOT coming soon, including Harmonious, La Creperie de Paris, Space 220, and new festival booths, so stay tuned to DFB as we cover all the news!
