Welcome to planDisney, Charles!
Thanks for dropping by with your question today. How exciting that you're already planning a visit to next year's EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! This might just be my favorite event of the year at EPCOT –– in fact, I have a visit planned in a few weeks and I can't wait to wander through the Global Marketplaces (tasting
all the things, of course!) and sit down to enjoy the
Eat to the Beat Concert Series.
But while the festival is full of flavors, with so many different booths, it can also be a little overwhelming. That's why I always make sure to check out Disney Parks Blog's
Foodie Guide to the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival before I arrive. This is an awesome resource for the great food you'll find each year and I definitely recommend giving it a look before your visit. While next year's guide likely won't be released until sometime in June 2023 (closer to when the Festival typically starts), go ahead and give the 2022 edition a look if you'd like a glimpse of the types of tasty goodness that's in store for you.
While the official dates for the 2023
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival probably won't be released until sometime next spring, I can tell you that in recent years, the dates have been pretty similar from one year to the next. To give you an idea of what that usually looks like, this year's festival began on July 14, 2022, and runs through November 19, 2022. While this doesn't give you an exact start and end date, I think it's a good general timeframe for what you might expect next year. In other words, if you're planning to book a trip to Walt Disney World Resort anytime from mid-July through mid-November, there's a great chance that you'll have an opportunity to experience everything this food-tastic event has to offer.
Thanks for visiting planDisney, Charles. I hope this helped to answer your question and I'm wishing you plenty of delicious dishes during your next Walt Disney World Resort visit!
Happy Planning,
Amy
