EPCOT: Eat the Festival Before Riding Guardians

Advice for 2026-09-11 · Published Sep 10, 2026, 9:00 PM ET

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

Epic tomorrow at EPCOT, and here's how ol' Goofy'd play it. Do the Food & Wine Festival (runs through Nov 16 — free with admission) before you queue: the Fry Basket and Flavors from Fire skirt steak are the ones to grab, and Mexico's got a Tostada de Osso Buco around $8.25. Then hit Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind — book a Lightning Lane ($14-20) to dodge the 60-min wait. Test Track and Frozen Ever After round out the morning at 50 and 45. Heads-up: Soarin' is down and Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along's closed, so don't build the day around 'em. Crowds sit Low (3/10), so midday's your window. Park closes 9 PM — stay for the evening festival lights. A-hyuck, eat first, ride second!
