Day 3, Part 3: New Food Booths!
We last left off heading out of SE and over to the new food booths that were opening this day! The four new four new booths were opening for the first time this morning, and there was one in particular we really wanted to check out, wine and wedge! So we made our way over there and got in line.
So we got in line for Wine and Wedge, but sadly today was not our lucky day, 11am comes and goes, and the food booth didn’t open. Finally around 11:10 a CM comes out to let everyone in line know that they had to replace equipment and they were going to have a delayed opening, and she didn’t know when they would open.
We decided to wait until at least 11:15 just in case, but by about 11:18 we realized we were going to waste the rest of our time in Epcot waiting for a booth that wasn’t opening so moved on.
The good news is that one of the other new booths were nearby so we headed over to Char and Chop, which thankfully didn’t have a horrible line, so we picked up the porchetta and the meat assortment there. We took these over to the picnic benches, that I swear no one knows exist since we always seem to find them empty even when Epcot is super crowded, to enjoy.
We loved both of these dishes, so I’m glad we stopped there!
After finishing up our food, we decided to take the long way around WS, so headed off. We checked out the food booth offerings as we went, but nothing caught our eye until Spain!
We stopped at Spain where my mom got the paella and I got the sangria flight.
The paella was ok, I’ve never been a fan of the food booth paella, but the sangria flight was awesome! While enjoying a few people came up to ask what the flight was and I just had to recommend it, it was so good! I hope they bring it back next year.
While eating I noticed that there were some tables around the corner with chairs, so I moved our stuff over there so we could sit. (In other news, now that I’ve experienced F&W with someone in a wheelchair, I’m shocked that there are no accessible tables set up around WS. I know Disney uses their own code, but I would think they would try to at least match the IBC which requires 5% of dining surfaces to be at accessible heights...but whatever, I digress).
Anyways, so since the tables were so high, mom had to stand up to eat, and it was getting pretty painful for her, so when I saw they had the high top table nearby but with chairs, of course I ran to grab it.
The tables were right next to the Italy booth, so while mom was still eating, I ran over there where there was absolutely no line to pick up the margarita and the cavatelli.
I always love the margarita, and I was pleasantly surprised with the cavatelli, it was really good!
Our goal this morning was to leave Epcot by about 12:15, at this point we were already past that, so we decided to head out and get some rest since we had a late night coming up at the Halloween party!

Seriously, the queueing instinct is real!
Your holiday trip is coming up soon, isn't it? So exciting. I love Festival of the Holidays in EPCOT.
Yes, we don't actually know currently. Right now the GFS model has a huge storm hitting the east coast the day we're supposed to fly out, so now we're debating leaving a day early. Yes, I know it's way too early for the forecast to be correct, but so far every single time it has shown storms when I checked two weeks out, those storms have happened (including hurricane Ian!), so it just seems to be our Disney trip luck. And honestly I wouldn't be too upset about having to spend an extra night in Disney!
