Hi Carol,
Thanks for visiting Disney Parks Moms Panel, and hello to a fellow NJ Epcot Festival Fan!
I see you're asking about the Epcot International Festival of the Arts in October, though that amazing festival is typically scheduled in the January-February time frame.
The Epcot International Festival of the Arts that my wife and I attended in February was so much fun. We absolutely enjoyed all the arts, the foods, and the workshops. We especially enjoyed the Disney on Broadway concert we attended. We made reservations for the Disney on Broadway Dining Package, dined at Biergarten Restaurant, and then took in the concert, where we felt like we were sitting front row center orchestra for a Broadway sensation. So, if it's the Festival of the Arts that captures your attention, I'd say check back on the
Disney Parks Blog as schedule information and performance details for the next Festival become available.
In October, the major Epcot event that does capture everyone's attention — and palate — is the
Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. As I mentioned, I am an Epcot festival fan, so of course I also love and anticipate the Food & Wine Festival. The Eat to the Beat Concert Series is always a must-do. So keep your ear out on the Disney Parks Blog for more information about
Epcot International Food & Wine Festival and who is scheduled for the Eat to the Beat Concert Series.
See you at the World Showcase.
Enjoy your Disney,
Jerry
