Last week Food and Wine ok or bad idea?

[gottalovepluto]

Deciding between mid-end of Oct and Nov 6-13. My preference is Nov for weather and MVMCP (and we might slip in a couple days at Universal and my family HATES scary Halloween stuff, even little things like posters, even thought we're adults lol, so I'd rather avoid anything Horror Nights related). My main goal is to introduce my family to F&W, I've done it once and loved it. First trip to WDW for everyone else (as Callifornians we're all about Disneyland). I know to avoid F&W on weekends, especially at night but what kind of crowds am I looking at for Mon-Thurs of the last week? My previous trip was the 2nd to last week of F&W and I loved it, although half the booths were out of the little paper food passports. I'm worried about:
Do they run out of popular dishes/wines?
Is it swamped with locals getting last min trips in?
Are the special events (like French or Italian meals) generally still running then?

They didn't run out last Novemeber as we were there at the last weekend. We arrived on a Friday and Epcot was packed all day. But yes, it will be crowded that last weekend.

We always go that week (this year we're booked 11/4-11/12). Weekdays at F&W are FINE!

Glad to hear that, we arrive 11/2, fly home 11/12. BTW, Eat to the Beat acts are trickling out, Jeffrey Osborne Oct. 14 - 15. Caught him last year, enjoyed the show.

We were there the last week. Weekdays weren't bad, that last weekend was insane!!
Add to it, it was the last weekend of Jersey week and also Dapper Day.
We did our ADR and our fast passes and left. We could hardly walk anywhere

Woah. That sounds CRAZY! I can't even imagine Dapper Day+Jersey Week+weekend F&W. You and your crew deserved a prize for braving that at all!
