Both years, most or all of the Global Marketplaces in the ‘second wave’ actually soft opened before their scheduled date.

The last couple of years, Walt Disney World opened booths in phases due to staffing shortages and the expectation that crowds would increase for the start of the World’s Most Magical Celebration in October. However, there could be a new twist on that this year… Expect the event to again start slow during the summer and kick into high a bit later. A handful of the Global Marketplaces will not debut at the start of the event, which is exactly what has happened for the last two years. The Global Marketplaces will span six continents and be located throughout the World Showcase pavilions and spill into the former Future World, with the booths open most of each operating day. (See our Guide to the 2023 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival for everything you need to know, including savvy strategy for beating the crowds, saving money, and best enjoying the event.) That’s actually a couple of weeks shorter than normal, which is the first time in a while that the duration of the event has decreased rather than increased. crowd-pleasing cuisine.Īs a reminder, this year’s EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival at Walt Disney World runs from July 27 through November 18, 2023.
