Goofy's call: Treat Friday as a snack-first EPCOT day. The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival runs through Nov 21, so work the world showcase booths at a relaxed pace instead of racing headliners, then settle in for live music tonight.

Worth a stop: Southbound takes the Eat to the Beat stage Friday and Saturday, per WDWNT's updated lineup, which swapped John Stamos and the California Sound in for the Beach Boys on later dates. Pair a booth-hopping dinner with the concert and you have a full evening mapped out.

If you only have a few hours, my call leans toward the booths over a headliner sprint: the festival is the reason to pick EPCOT this late in October, and the world showcase spaces spread the crowd out better than any single queue.
