I agree. I wish they would start Festival of the Holidays earlier. I assume it has to do with cost associated with Candlelight and finding choirs and narrators.

Notably, the 2024 Flower and Garden Festival is much shorter than in recent years. The 2023 event was held from March 1 through July 5, or just over 120 days.
Perhaps a Summer Festival...Celebrating all Nations, but mostly America. June 1 - July 31?
They certainly aren't starting F&W on June 1.

I had heard the festivals weren’t doing wonderfully in the summer. Perhaps F&W will start later leaving most of summer without a festival (I presume it would start in August, regardless, since WDW starts celebrating “fall” around August 10 now). And maybe they have an idea for a new summer event.

I wonder if this means that Food & Wine will simply be interminable or if there will be a resting period. Would be kind of cool if they open CommuniCore Hall around then and do something new or unique.
You mean people really don't want to stand for 45 minutes at a kiosk to order in full sun, or eat their Canada pavilion filet mignon outside in an afternoon thunderstorm??!?

Who would have thought? It worked a bit better when they could put some booths in World Showplace but I gather that won’t be available again.
Does CommuniCore include any enclosed space for booths? They need to figure something out. They’ll definitely have F&W by September and it will still be hot and stormy then.

After seeing Wish's performance, so are they.
Come on now, they've got people trained to wait 7 hours for a popcorn bucket. What's a little heat, humidity, and lightning as compared to a $9 plate of mashed potato and sliver of steak?
I believe it does. A good chunk of it is flex space, which could be used for booths.
Certainly the answer from today's WDW isn't to throw in the towel. There has to be a summer event, right? If not, RIP EPCOT
In 2023 they essentially had non-stop festivals all year. It didn't really help attendance though for the summer and fall.
Without the early F&W / late F&G, Epcot would have had even more problems. I can't believe that they're going to just sit it out. There's too much revenue to be left on the table.

The perfect summer event would be to have evening entertainment at the American Gardens Theater. They have done it before, and it would bring life to the world showcase. They could also sell dining packages if the entertainment was decent enough. It would be an easy win for the summer.

$15? Please. $25 "gourmet" hotdog flights.
In all seriousness, I've been expecting something like that for several years. TDO is addicted to/dependent on festivals to generate revenue at Epcot.
