Epcot/Food and Wine Help

[mickeyfan1]

Hey everybody! Needing some help with Epcot. My family and I a total of 9 will be in the world in November. Our only days that we will be able to visit Epcot is Saturday November 14th which is the last Saturday of Food and Wine or the 16th the last day of Food and Wine. Needing to decide which day to visit. We arrive that Saturday and won't be able to able to get to the park until approximately 1pm. The hang up with the 16th is that we will have a full day at the Magic Kingdom on the 15th due to the Christmas party. Many thanks in advance!

I would go with Epcot on the 16th if you want to do Food and Wine. World Showcase turns into a zoo on the weekends during Food and Wine so you will want to be in World Showcases as soon as it opens at 11:00 AM.

Arriving at World Showcase at 1:00 PM during Food and Wine would be like getting to a sold out general admission concert 5 minutes before the headliner is about to go on.

I would definitely go on the 16th. Crowds will be a lot higher since it is the weekend

I agree with the above advise. We were in Epcot on the last Saturday of the Food and Wine Festival in 2014 and it was an absolute zoo. I totally forgot about this when we made plans to visit the parks each day. We could not get out of The World Showcase fast enough. It was wall to wall people eating, drinking and overall having a good time but we were not interested....our planning mistake. World Showcase was wall to wall people so plan accordingly. I think you will find crowds whenever you go, Have a Magical Trip!

I would avoid Sat. the 14th and go on Mon. the 16th. You have a better chance of missing the locals.

Defiantly go during the weekdays if it's an option. I usually always go on weekdays absorbs never been bad when I went. Weekends ends, different story.

We were at Disney this past October for 9 days and the difference in the crowds during the week and the weekend were substantial. Go during the week, you'll be able to do more as you won't have as big of lines to deal with. And try one of the special Grey Goose frozen drinks in France. I don't normally drink frozen drinks, but when I do, it's at EPCOT.
