F&W Festival w/toddlers?

[riggins]

Hi guys-
We'll be down in early November with our 3 year old and 18 month old. Are there any special F&W events that would be fun with toddlers?

Thanks
Leslie

I can't think of anything that stands out as being geared towards toddlers. The event was wonderful anyhow. We had our son (11) and our neice (16 months) this past fall.

No, it's really all geared towards adults and their love of food and wine. I can't imagine any child not being absolutely bored to tears at any of the seminars or special events. The easiest (and probably only) thing you can do with kids at Food and Wine is stroll around the World Showcase and sample the food and wine/beer at the booths.

We were at the Food and Wine Festival our last trip with my three little ones: DD 4, DD 2, and DS 10 mo. We wandered through the countries sampling things and having a great time.

The Kidcot stations are still open for the kids to make masks. The 3 year old would do fine, and the 18 month old could scribble a bit on one, too. Also, I remember my kids making little tiny bees out of pompoms, pipecleaners and googley eyes - and learning something about honey. It was just a tiny little table out among some of the other things as we wandered around. I would imagine there might be a few cute things like that available -- you just have to keep an eye out for them.

Anyhow, we've been to Epcot several times with our little ones. The Food & Wine Festival enhanced our enjoyment -- and the kids could still enjoy Epcot to the degree that they always have.
It's a great time to visit!

Hope that helps!
