Food and Wine Festival 2021 Starts July 15

Walt Disney World

Great news for people who love it. Sadly, I’m not in that category and my vacation starts on July 14. And I planned for Saturday to be my Epcot day.

Back to the drawing board.

I saw this and thought, this is how they are trying to recoup some funds. Festivals originally were planned and occurred in the “down” times, when crowds were lower. Obviously with 35% capacity (right now, that may change) the crowds are lower all the time. This may explain why there are so few days between festivals right now. It’s a little crazy and if it doesn’t go back to "normal’ as the rest of operations turns back to normal I wonder at what point we quit calling them festivals and just recognize them as food and entertainment schedules that change quarterly (or so).

I am so bummed the Brazil booth isn’t opening on the 15th. That’s always one of my favorite booths.
