World showcase in one day?

[pepperderr]

I am planning our days so we know which park to make reservations for on which day. Is World Showcase doable in one day if DS wants to try a lot of the food and drinks for the festival in August? I really don't expect that he will want to get something from every booth because half of the stuff we don't even know what it is so it will probably be a waste of money but he is looking forward to that part of the trip. Would you attempt to ride Remmy on a regular EPCOT day and on World Showcase day or which day would you ride it? Do you have tips about the food and wine festival besides planning ahead? Thanks.

Its easily doable in a day. A few tips. For shorter lines at the food festival kiosks, try to go during a weekday and do not wail til evening. The lines are longer on weekends and at nights. But even then, the waits are never terrible (unless it involves a popcorn bucket of a mythical creature, lol). You can do Remy whenever you visit World Showcase, but obviously the wait will vary depending on the time of day. Still, even if you wait more than an hour for Remy, you can still knock out all of World Showcase, including many festival kiosks, in a day

Very easily, yes. I would suggest a weekday visit, though. Lines on a Saturday during F&WF can get long, so much of your time will be spent moving from line to line and trying to find a corner to eat in.

I get full fast so need to break up the snacking with shops, rides, and entertainment. Thankfully there is plenty of that through WS. Also remember that they have been spreading festival food through the park now and not just in WS.

I would make plans to ride Remy on a day when you're already in World Showcase. It's at the far back if you're entering at the front and on busy days, you'll feel like you're playing frogger just trying to get back to it. It's quite the walk! If you were staying at an Epcot resort, it is much easier to access.

I think it’s doable in a day and we’ve done it. Remy is right in France so you don’t need one day for that and one day for world showcase. It’s all right there. There are a lot of food booths but the portions are more tapas sized so we’ve been able to hit 90% of the booths to try something plus rode all the rides in Epcot in one day. Especially if you get the ILL for Remy.

Thanks. We plan to use the skyliner when we go to WS because we will be staying at Art of Animation. The buses never drop you off at WS right? Just the front of the park? We will likely go to WS on a Monday. When we are at Disney on a Saturday we plan to visit Disney Springs that day and stay away from the parks. I am not sure if all of the parks are busier on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays or not. Do they not have many places to sit to try the food or is that just an issue if it is crowded on weekends?

I sure hope we get an ILL for Remy!
