6 Food Booths will experience delayed openings at the Delayed Openings of 6 Food Booths at the 2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
As a year-round Disney local, I have become accustomed to not having every booth at the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival open from the very beginning of the festival. Conveniently, this provides an additional excuse for going back to the festival on a regular basis. With a multitude of other booths and experiences to enjoy, visitors will still have an abundance of opportunities to savor delicious food and beverages from around the world.
One thing we can be certain of is that the delay does not diminish the overall experience of the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival. Guests who attend the beginning of the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival this year will have a total of 18 booths to choose from, with 6 additional booths slated for a delayed opening.
