We like to look back at each year’s Epcot International Food & Wine Festival before we really charge into Holidays at Disney World – it really helps us when we start planning the next year’s Festival. Our “festival habits” have changed a lot in recent years…

Final Thoughts on 2011 Epcot Food & Wine Festival

Well we have finally finished our posts about the 2011 Epcot Food & Wine Festival. Without being too critical – most food and events were hit or miss. It is important to do all these things with an open mind. Plus, with things like food booths, the quality can vary from week to week, day
