Epcot Fri or Sat?

We will be in the World Oct 9-14. Crowd calendar from Kenny the Pirate says Epcot on Sat and AK on Friday. But I’m worried about weekend crowds because of Food and Wine. Would you go to Epcot Fri or Sat?

It depends whether you are going to Epcot for the attractions or for F&W. There will be large crowds on Saturday that are there only for the F&W booths, mostly the W part. Does not impact the attractions much. Saturdays do impact the number of people in World Showcase if you are planning to do the shows/rides/entertainment in World Showcase. Personally I try to avoid Epcot on Saturdays after lunchtime unless I am going to a F&W special event.

i would do EPCOT on Friday. A year ago, we tried to go to EPCOT on Saturday afternoon, when we got there. World Showcase was a zoo. We won't make that mistake again.
It is also bad Friday night, but in the last 2 years, was not too bad during the day.

Saturday and Sundays are normally the busiest days at Epcot during F&W due to locals attending F&W, however, as stated previously the crowds will be concentrated around WC for the F&W festivities, if you are visiting Epcot strictly for FW attractions and not F&W then you should be fine any day..
