    Hi, hope all is well. I am going to the Food and Wine Festival and wanted to know what time should we be there? What time do the booths open? Thank you.

    Hi Nohely! Welcome back to planDisney!

    Oh boy! You're just two days away until you arrive at the Walt Disney World Resort to enjoy the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! This event is packed with countless food and drink offerings from different countries all across the world.

    If you're planning to spend all of your time exploring the various food booths around the festival, then you will not need to arrive at park opening to do so. Most of the festival booths will typically open around 11 AM, with EPCOT officially opening to Guests at 9 AM on November 13th (times are subject to change). If you want to ride a few attractions or take in some of the experiences, I suggest arriving early to do so. This way, you'll have plenty of time to focus on festival-related activities for the remainder of the day!

    If you happen to be staying in a Disney Resort hotel or other select hotels, you will have access to Early Theme Park Entry. This extra perk allows you to enter the park 30 minutes before the official park opening time. Many Guests who are interested in riding attractions will use this time to ride a few with shorter wait times.

    One of my favorite booths this year at the Food & Wine Festival is Marketplace - Brazil. The Brazilian Cheese Bread is incredibly delicious, and the Feijoada, which is Black Beans combined with Pork Belly and Brazil Nut Pesto, is out-of-this-world. I was happy to stroll by this booth at the perfect time to enjoy these tasty treats!

    Nohely, I hope you have a magical time during your visit! Stop back and see us again at planDisney!

    See ya real soon!
