The season is shifting, the decorations are about to swap, and one of the most beloved EPCOT traditions is preparing to take its annual bow. Every year, we know it’s coming, yet somehow it still catches us off guard.
If your dream EPCOT day includes strolling through World Showcase with festival snacks in hand, listening to outdoor concerts, and feeling like the park was designed for food-lovers, your countdown has officially begun. Very soon, that iconic vibe will fade to make way for the next chapter — and you’ll have to wait nearly a full year before you get it back.
Food & Wine Is Almost Gone
We’re talking about the end of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, and yes, the time has arrived again. The final day for booth-hopping, wine-tasting, and Eat to the Beat-dancing is November 22. After that, EPCOT hits pause on the festival that so many fans consider a bucket-list attraction.
That means just days remain to:
• Grab your favorite returning dish
• Try that one booth you’ve been avoiding because “there’s still time”
• Take festival-themed photos
• Catch another evening concert under the stars
• Finish your Food & Wine passport like a champ
If you thought you had weeks left to plan the perfect visit, the calendar just said otherwise.
Something Festive This Way Comes
But don’t worry — this isn’t doom and gloom. It’s more like finishing your favorite season of a show, knowing a cozy holiday special is coming next.
On November 28, EPCOT will transform for the International Festival of the Holidays, bringing cookie strolls, cultural celebrations, festive entertainment, and that warm “holidays across the world” feeling. Holiday storytellers return, the park lights up in the best way, and suddenly you’re sipping hot cocoa instead of sparkling wine.
It’s a fast transition, but EPCOT fans know: the park doesn’t slow down — it evolves.
Savor the Last Bites
So before Food & Wine quiets down for the year, go get your favorites. Walk slowly, snack happily, and take in every last moment. EPCOT is about to change again, and while the holidays are magical, there’s something special about these final festival days.
For now, there’s still time — not much, but enough to enjoy one more bite, one more round-the-world stroll, and one more night soaking in that Food & Wine energy.
Eat well and walk fast — your EPCOT routine is about to change.
