Waiting for Food & Wine 2025 Dates to be Announced

[scrappinginontario]

Last year we missed F&W by less than a day as we flew home the day it started. While it was nice that Epcot was a bit quieter without the festival, we missed it! We enjoy trying out the different foods offered at the booths.

I just looked and the 2024 dates were announced Apr 23, 2024 so I’m hoping we hear about the 2025 dates soon!

Anyone else waiting for 2025 dates to be announced?

UPDATE: Dates have been announced and a thread is available on the Restaurants Board to discuss planning for this great event!

Yes, we are patiently waiting as well...We had 1 day last year of F&W and it was great. Although it was kind of nice to eat at Epcot without the festival. This year we leave the 29th so hoping it starts a tad earlier. But my suspicion is that it doesn't start till after 9/1 as that's the last day of that "summer kid character thing" in Communicore hall at Epcot.

We caught the tale end last year but didn't get more than a day as we were focused more on MNSSHP (went twice). This year Im only planning one MNSSHP so I can have more Epcot days. Waiting for news on both.

Count us in! We are waiting, too!

I'm waiting. I was hoping to see an announcement yesterday but it never materialize.

Me too! Going with family in late September to celebrate my 60th, and will be first time for my step dad at F&W.

Hoping it’s a little earlier than last year. We ended up at Epcot that opening weekend and navigating crowds in a scooter was no fun! If not, will be happy just to get a few good eats despite the crowds!

I'm wondering if they will do one big announcement on May 4th(180 days to Halloween). They could do F & W and MNSSHP together. The resort discounts are already out.

May 4th is a Sunday. Announcements aren't normally made on Sundays. Maybe they will make an exception but unlikely. I'm hoping it will be this Tuesday for F&W

We're also waiting. But we're going the last week in September and the way things have been the last several years, I'm pretty sure the Food and Wine will start before then. Many years ago, however, DH ran a 1/2 Marathon (I forget the name) that started at 10:00pm around the end of September or early October, then they had Epcot open just for the runners (and guests) with F&W booths open, but the Food and Wine officially opened the next day.
What I'm really waiting for is the announcement of foods, the musical acts, and hoping for the return of seminars.

My birthday is September 8 and my wife and I want to go that week (without kids for the 1st time in 8 years) but if it isn't the F&W festival that week we will do something else.

Hoping to hear something soon!!

Waiting too! Waiting for the band line ups as we want to see my daughter's favorite band from her teenage/college years Want to book flights and hotel but can't until we have the dates!

 

[WLSILVERCREEKSPRINGS]

Yes, impatiently waiting. We have a trip planned for September, planning on doing two days at the F&W festival (one for enjoying the food & one for attractions) and two MNSSHP parties, so waiting for both announcements!

Literally the day I get in. It's going to be vlogger hell.

 

[Ruttangel]

I found it a bit anti-climatic last year, same old foods and bands, not my favourite festival
Only memorable part was the muppets special photo outside odyssey building

 

[ellbell]

I arrive on the 31st and am there until the 6th. I will probably make it to Epcot 4 times for the festival. Looking forward to the booth announcement so I can plan meals lol.

Is there an "official" F&W thread up? I dont seem to be able to find it.

Now we begin the wait for the menus
