Taste of Epcot's International Festival of the Holidays

[Amunet]

I am a it concerned that all of the food booths will be like the food and wine booths this year; all booths only open on the weekends with some available during the week. We will be visiting Epcot the first Wednesday after the festival opens and have no opportunity to go on a weekend

That's a real possibility, nothing will operate like it used to

I'm so glad Joyful is going to be there! We really enjoyed them during out previous Christmastime trip!

Yeah But how would the cookie stroll work? Think that may keep them open?

yes, well for the taste of food and wine only about 3 kiosks only operate on the weekends, so I'm thinking that could be the case for the holiday event, also the holiday event is way shorter so they might just open them all up everyday

Oh, I really hope so! This trip is all about the holiday eats and missing kiosks would be sad
And, only 3 kiosks are down during the week for food and wine? People are making it sound like only a few are open during the week.

Thanks for that. Basically all the original kiosks are open everyday minus Caribbean, the other ones opened later

The cookie stroll was fun. You buy 5 or 6 different cookies from different stands and get a stamp from each one then you get one free.

I didn’t know that, bummer. So no decorations either then?

I hear the decorations start going up around Nov 7...

I gained 20 lbs. just looking at this menu but I am incredibly excited all the same . Looks like lots of really good options.

Interesting that there is no food at the Citrus Blossom. Looking forward to it though. Some good looking items for sure

Epcot's holiday celebration has always started ther week after Thanksgiving I doubt they will move it earlier

Epcot’s Festival of the Holidays starts the day after Thanksgiving - on a Friday. Thanksgiving is always the 4th Thursday in November, so its date ranges from Nov. 22 to Nov. 28.

I was hoping they were going to keep the very popular cake pops from F&W around for the holiday celebration.

Me, too. They were DELICIOUS!! They could have thrown some peppermint candies on the outside and called it a holiday treat. lame

Also bummed about this. They looked so yummy and we were hoping they’d stick around until we get there Dec 1.
