So WDW just announced that F&W doesn't start until August 29th this year (And F&G ends on May 27th), meaning that there is no festival at Epcot for the entirety of the summer for the first time (excluding the weird Covid year) in a long time.
Over on WDW Magic here:
https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads...onal-food-wine-festival.983611/#post-10906187 it's been posted that this is because of really low projected attendance this summer (and some of the screaming hotel deals I can see right now seem to bear that out).
I wonder if this means fewer party dates this year as well? We have a trip booked August 14 - 17 on
DVC points at BLT solely for the purpose of going to a party, but now I'm concerned that they will push back the first party date to late August or early September.
