Galaxy's Edge cancelled my birthday plans at Food & Wine...

 

[Think Tink]

I’m so excited! My favorite festival!!!!

 

[HauntedPirate]

75 days last year, 87 days this year. Glad to see they're working on reducing reliance on festivals at Epcot already... In all seriousness, this was likely done to give crowds something else to do in the area besides stand in line at SW:GE.

 

[ToyStoryMiss]

Yes! I can’t wait!

And we edge ever closer to the 24/7/365 festival.

 

[Raineman]

I was hoping that F&W would have just ended when we arrive at WDW in mid-November, to have a chance at experiencing lower crowd levels at Epcot. So much for that.

#DietEPCOT is getting smaller and smaller

 

[Janir]

Darn it, We're just gonna miss it by a week.
On the plus side the week before hopefully will have a lower attendance as people that planed for a trip may have just delayed it until AUg 29th for F&W and SWGE.

That's my self-delusion and I'm sticking with it!

 

[LuvWDW2]

Surprised to see it run this late in November. I guess this means a shorter Festival of the Holidays

11/29-12/30

Thanksgiving is 11/28 this year.

And we edge ever closer to the 24/7/365 festival.

That would be the "Flower, Garden, Food, and Wine Festival of the Arts and Holidays."

Thank god I'm not going this year. Food and wine is the devil and deserves to rot in hell.

Perhaps I should be clearer?

Could you be a bit more succinct?

Just out of curiosity, can you be specific about what it is you dislike about Food and Wine? Other than the general complaint of Epcot moving toward "all festivals, all the time," of course.

Crowds, drunks, clutter of Showcase...

It’s a theme park. Or was. Pleasure Island was built for this.

I think it’s also due to Thanksgiving being 11/28 instead of 11/22. Labor Day a day later too. That’s 7 of the 12 additional days. The rest is going until the Saturday before Thanksgiving instead of a few days before that.

 

[marni1971]

As has been proven time and time again, the drunkard issues at food and wine are nothing more than fabrications by people who are anti alcohol. But nice try though

I didn’t mention drunkard issues. You did.

I’m aware of the amount of cast and security interactions and arrests due to drunk and disorderly at the festival. Are you?

Nice try.

 

[marni1971]

I was a supervisor at the park for 2 years so I am also well aware of the issues and they are not as severe as the haters make them out to be.

Then you should be aware of them.

You’re the one calling them severe.

 

[Clamman73]

No breather week this year before thanksgiving week....bleh.

 

[marni1971]

I am but they are not a plague

I didn’t say they are.
