EPCOT's Golden Window: Booths Before Six, Then Roses

EPCOT's my afternoon pick today, yuh-huh! The Food & Wine Festival — runnin' through November 21 — is thinnest between 3 and 6 PM, before the dinner crowd builds at the World Showcase marketplaces. Remy's Bite of the Day: the Arancini at Via Napoli in the Italy Pavilion — fried risotto balls with fontina cheese and meat ragu, straight off the current menu. It's table service, so a reservation helps. One somber note for future planners: Disney confirmed the Rose & Crown Dining Room AND Pub close January 11, 2027 for a lengthy refurbishment — the Yorkshire County Fish Shop stays open in the meantime. Park closes at 9 PM tonight. Garsh, I'd waddle over by three!
