Epcot durning the Food/Wine Fest...

[Hanna's mom]

Hi! We are going down to Disney 9/28-10/2 and were planning on going to EPCOT Friday 9/30 or Sat 10/1. Which day do you think will have the least crowds? Is this Park usually packed for this festival?
Thanks!!

It is going to be very crowded both days. If you go early in the day instead of around dinner time it won't be as bad.

We were there last year on the 1st fri & had very little crowds. We walked right up to order wine & treats @ most booths. We were there at 11 when it started then left for MNSSHP. The crowd may actually get smaller when the MNSSHP starts!

We've found Friday morning will not be too terrible, but by Friday afternoon the locals start showing up. Saturday will be very crowded, but still fun. Just be ready to wait in lines for samples. If those are your only two choices, I'd go Friday and get to the WS when they drop the rope. Sample what you can before the crowds start to pick up.

We'll be going that Friday 9/30 too. F&W in the morning and then MNSSHP in the evening!

I plan to get there at 11am, go around for a couple hours, then back to the hotel to take a nap before our CRT dinner and MNSSHP. That way the kids will be well rested.

We'll also go again on Saturday morning, just DH and I, since the kids will go to their grandparents house Friday night until Sunday morning.
