Epcot during Food and Wine Festival ?

[saltmom1]

I am planning on going to Epcot Future World on Sat Nov 13. Will it be crowded because of the Food and Wine Festival in the World Showcase ? Should I change my itinerary and go to Epcot during the week ?

It depends what you want to do. The park itself will see slightly larger crowds, but it is still very manageable.
Future World should be simple to navigate. The World Showcase crowds will be concentrated around the booths more than anything.

FW will be fine, but the WS is typically very congested. Especially in the evenings.

The Wine/Food Fest also tends to bring in a lot of locals because of its popularity, But anytime is a GOOd time to attend! Duckberg :wave:

I was ther for a day trip yesterday which was the first day of F&W. I started at DHS and went to Epcot about 12:00. Fairly light crowds other than the food booths. It was a weekday and also the first day. If your going to be at WDW still on the 15th I would suggest going then. Since the F&W would have just ended it would likely be less crowded than the FINAL SATURDAY of the event. I think that day will be the worst for F&W crowds.

Thank you brent2124. I will see what I can do to rearrange my schedule.
Thanks to all the other posters with their helpful answers. :wave:

We went to Epcot 3 times last year during F & W and we never had a problem with crowds. They were very manageable. There were times during the late afternoon/early evening where it seemed that the World Showcase was a bit congested, but still manageable. We had a blast so I do recommend it.
