F&W Fridays at Epcot?

[PrincessNelly_NJ]

Ok, so I've heard tons of stories about how weekends at Food & Wine Fest should be avoided but what about Fridays?

I'm asking because, we originally planned on going on a Thursday but found better reservation times for Akershus & Via Napoli on Friday. So it is really going to be that bad? Drunks everywhere? really?

We plan on doing Epcot open to close.
Thanks!

The daytime will be busy and World Showcase Friday evening will be a ZOO. Made that mistake once, never again

Ugh...
we can get a better time for Via Napoli if we book a party of 2, but there's 3 of us. Do you think they would be okay if we booked 2 and 3 show up?

It'll be more bearable if you hit the booths right around WS opening time and do your grazing then. That being said, Thursday would still be better, especially if your ADRs are more guaranteed then. (We've shown up an hour early to ADRs before and were seated pretty quickly, so I don't know whether you wanted earlier or later times, but this worked for us).

Okay, then I'll stick with my original plan of Thursday and give showing up early to my ADR a chance!
I care more about lower crowds then the ADR.

Yeah even if they make you wait, it's always fun to take pictures and shop around while you wait. Or go scope out F&W!

I wouldn't risk showing up with 3, we are always a party of 2 and almost always seated at a table just for 2..
