If you’ve ever reviewed a list of dining options in Epcot’s World Showcase at Walt Disney World, you may have noticed that some pavilions have more eateries than others.

Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival begins August 29 and runs until November 23. That’s 87 days of food booths, demos, Eat to the Beat Concerts, and more!

So here are a few hidden secrets about the Food and Wine Festival as you start your planning.

Walt Disney World is regularly stepping up its food game, and that includes quick service (a/k/a fast food) in its parks and resorts. In fact, some quick service dining is so good, it rivals some of the better table service restaurants in the parks and resorts!
