Eating Through EPCOT’s Festivals

Once upon a time, there was a little Food and Wine Festival at EPCOT that was held each fall for a few weeks in October and November – and it was fun and delicious. So the folks at Disney who make these decisions realized that, hey, food (and drink) is HUGELY popular at EPCOT, and as the years passed, this festival grew longer until this year, it began in July and will end in November.
