Epcot on last day of Food and Wine?

[JustLikeMe]

Is the very last day of the Food and Wine Festival normally extremely crowded? I've heard that the last weekend is a nightmare crowds wise, but is this likely to extend to Monday the 10th? I'd love to have some idea of what to expect!

I'm curious about this, too. We'll be at Epcot on the 10th. I've heard that the last day of F&W is usually not that bad but, at the same time, I don't think it's ever run this long before. Veterans' Day is the 11th so I'm wondering if the holiday will increase crowds.

We were there for the last Sunday last year and it was absolutely packed. Average lines for booths were 10 minutes + and World Showcase was beyond busy. We actually left and came back on the Monday to visit a few booths for the final time. I would avoid the last Sunday is possible. If it's not possible, arrive early and except lines

It's usually very busy that weekend. With it being a long weekend, the half marathon/5k weekend and the end of Food and Wine, Epcot can get very crowded.

Monday's not the holiday, Tuesday is...and Veterans Day is one of the holidays that not everybody gets off work for. I am going out on a limb and saying Monday the 10th will NOT be weekend type crowds because the locals who work won't be there for the most part.

We'll be there the 8th and 10th. I expect it to be busy Saturday. Monday, not so much.

I'm going to give this a bump, due to the timely relevance.

Just a heads up often by the last weekend some things have run out. I went last weekend 2014 and some of the wines I wanted a final taste of were not available as well as some of the food items. I went early and the crowds were large but still manageable - around 20 min wait on one of the booths

Great advice, something to keep in mind!

According to the Disney site, Epcot closing on Sunday November 9 has been moved to 10 PM.

I am guessing that is in reaction to the fact that they have to close at 9 on Saturday Nov. 8 due to the Wine and Dine Half Marathon, not that they are expecting large extra crowds that day.

Last year, Monday was a holiday, and this year Tuesday is a holiday. So I don't know what effect that will have on the Sunday night crowds. There'll be an influx of those who came for the marathon and aren't leaving until later in the week but you may not have as many locals who have to be at work or school on Monday.
