    I'm planning a trip to WDW in August. We want to attend the Food and Wine festival, but may have to leave before it begins. Are the food booths open outside of the festival dates?

    Hey Howdy Hey Cherrelle and welcome to planDisney!

    It is so exciting to hear that you have a vacation to the Most Magical Place on Earth scheduled for later this summer. There is so much excitement going on in the Walt Disney World Resort and is a great time to visit. Thank you for stopping by with your question on food booths outside of festival dates in EPCOT. I will be happy to give you more information so you can better prepare for your trip. Giddy up!

    While visiting EPCOT in the late summer and fall, typically you will have the opportunity to check out the International Food and Wine Festival. Recently Disney did announce the dates for this festival beginning on August 29th. While this and other festivals are exciting to attend there are still plenty of experiences to have when visiting on off times from the festivals. Walking around the World Showcase, you will have the opportunity to visit all the countries to experience the attractions, theming, food and drinks at each. While you will find many more food and drink options available during festivals, each country will have some quick service locations and food booths open throughout the year. The menus typically will change during festivals for a special celebration, but you will still have plenty of options to experience. 

    EPCOT will also be completing most of the reimagining of the park this summer. There have been so many completed and new additions you will want to make sure you check them out. One of the more recent openings has been with Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana. This relaxing and entertaining walk through this attraction demonstrates how water shapes our environment. You can feel free to be as interactive as you would like and may come in handy for those hot Florida days in August! This attraction is pure beauty and make sure you visit during the day as well as in the evening. The views and experience are spectacular during the day and familiar yet so different at night. 

    I hope this information helped keep the excitement going for your time at Walt Disney World. EPCOT is one of my favorite parks with so much to do and experience and I hope you have a Magical time on your upcoming vacation. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach back out and let us know, we are always happy to help!

    To Infinity and Beyond,
