Hey there, Disney vacationers and culinary adventurers! As the delightful scents of the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival begin to fade, the excitement for another of Disney World’s iconic events starts to build. That’s right, the much-anticipated 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival dates have been announced, and it’s time to get your planners out!

2024 Festival Dates: What to Know

This year, the festival will take place from August 29 to November 23, 2024. It’s noteworthy that this schedule is about a month shorter compared to the previous year, 2023. So, if you’re planning to immerse yourself in this gastronomic extravaganza, these dates are your window to enjoy everything the festival has to offer.

New Experiences to Anticipate

One exciting piece of news for the 2024 festival is the inclusion of the CommuniCore Hall as a new venue. CommuniCore Hall is set to open this summer on June 10, and the Food & Wine Festival will be its debut event. While details are still under wraps, the buzz is that this new space will bring some fresh experiences to the festival lineup.

Festival Favorites Making a Return

The festival isn’t just about trying out new things; it’s also about those beloved returning favorites. Here’s what you can look forward to at the 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival:

Planning Your Visit

With the festival dates now set, it’s the perfect time to start planning your visit. Remember, with the festival running for a shorter duration this year, it’s wise to book your accommodations and sort out travel arrangements early to avoid the last-minute rush.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
