Epcot Food Festival

[mattsguinness]

Does anyone know how far in advance disney has the epcot food festival planned? we want to plan a trip for 11/05, but we want to make sure it coincides with the festival. Anyone have any comments on that or the festival in general. I'd love to hear them!

It runs from mid October to Nov.16. I am checking in on November 16 so I'll only have one night to try all the good stuff around World Showcase..........Here is a link to Deb's page about it

We've been to the F&WF 3 xs and it's great fun. Be prepared to stuff yourself silly and don't forget the wonderful libations along the way.

hi: if you plan your trip for somewhere between the last week of October and the first 2 weeks of November, you should be fine for dates. have a wonderful time!

Thank you for the info. We went to the festival in '99 and can't wait to go back. We went the last week of the festival, and there were practically no lines for most of the attractions and tolerable lines for the major ones. It was my wifes first trip to WDW, our honeymoon. We stayed at the Carribean, Jamaica as I remember. We're going to the Boardwalk this next trip. If anyone has any experience with the Boardwalk, I would love to hear it. Thanks again!

Hey Matt - The food festival is SO much fun - and staying at the Boardwalk is PERFECT b/c you can go back and forth conveniently. I would post your BW question on the resort board and I bet you will get tons of replies!

By the way - we almost always stay at BW for our food and wine festival trip.

If we aren't able to make it for the F&WF in november, does anyone have any suggestions for special events happening in January? We only want to go during an off peak so crowds will be down. How is the weather in January? I'm assuming there might be some cold days. Of course the coldest winter day in florida will still be warmer than the warmest winter day here in Maine!
