Epcot Food & Wine...on a Sunday?

[sam1985]

How crazy would it be to go Sunday Nov. 3rd? Thinking about a day trip w/out kids so the trip would be more or less pure food and wine related activities.
Don't want to go and have it be a zoo...we'd much rather wait a year or two and go during the week when crowds aren't as bad. It just happens that this year one of the Sunday works

First Sunday in November is the 4th and it's the day if the Wine and Dine 1/2 marathon. I suspect it will be crowded.

It's also the beginning of Jersey Week, so yes, it will be crowded. If you go that day hit the booths when they open at 11am.

How is Sunday afternoon or evening? I hoped it wouldn’t be busy then because the locals would have gone home to get ready for work/school the next day.

Wine and Dine Half Sunday? I know exactly where I’d be the afternoon/evening after running 13.1 miles. World Showcase making up for lost calories.

It will be VERY busy.

That's where I will be!

On a different Sunday, perhaps later in the evening would die down a bit. But marathon weekend and the start of Jersey Week, I don't think this will matter.

also the 1/2 marathon party is that night in EPCOT, so everyone with a party ticket can get in at 8 (or anytime for those with regular tickets/AP's). That's where i will be.

We were there from Nov 2 to Nov 11 last year and we hit WS every day but Sat. Sun the 5th was more crowded than a weekday but we had a good time. It was Jersey Week and the races were on.

It's going to be a zoo. We avoid weekends like the plague.

 

[stinkpickle]

If that's the day that works for you, go. Just start early.

I think it'll be very busy but oddly enough Kenny the Pirate has Epcot as the best park that day. Touring Plans has Epcot as a crowd level 5, whatever that's supposed to mean.

We will be at Disney and staying at BWV. Our plan that day is to RD DHS and then hop over to Epcot in the afternoon for lunch at VN and stay through the evening. Maybe taking a break at BWV midday. We plan on spending most of our time in FW and not the WS.
