EPCOT: Soarin's Down, But the Food & Wine Booths Are Calling

Advice for 2026-09-10 · Published Sep 10, 2026, 7:18 AM ET

Archived briefing. Hours, prices, availability, and recommendations may have changed. Check today’s dashboard.

Gawrsh, EPCOT's a bit under the weather today — Soarin' Around the World's closed, and Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is only temporarily shut. But here's the good news: the Food & Wine Festival is in full swing, and the festival favorites booths are worth every step. Grab something warm, grab a refillable mug, and beat the 96 degrees heat while the crowds sit a leisurely 19 minutes. Skip the rides that are down and spend the afternoon waddling around World Showcase. Trust ol' Goofy — the flavors beat a broken roller coaster any day!
