What Shoes Should You Wear to EPCOT Food & Wine Festival?
Wear shoes you've already broken in.
EPCOT involves a lot of walking, and Food & Wine Festival days can involve even more wandering as you move between festival booths.
Good options include:
Comfortable sneakers
Cushioned walking sandals
Supportive athletic shoes
This is not the day to debut the adorable new sandals that have never encountered your feet before.
Your outfit will be considerably less cute if you're carrying your shoes by Germany.
What to Bring to EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
A few small additions can make your Food & Wine Festival day much more comfortable.
A Small Crossbody or Mini Backpack
Keeping your hands free is especially helpful when you're carrying festival plates and drinks.
Sunscreen
Even during the fall, the Florida sun can be intense.
Portable Fan
A rechargeable handheld or neck fan can make August and September festival days significantly more comfortable.
Poncho or Mini Umbrella
Afternoon rainstorms are common in Central Florida, especially earlier in the festival season.
Refillable Water Bottle
It's easy to forget about water when you're busy sampling food and drinks around World Showcase.
Lightweight Layer
Restaurants, shops, and indoor attractions can feel freezing after you've spent hours outside in the heat.
How to Dress for EPCOT Food & Wine Festival by Month
August
Dress completely for August summer.
Think breathable fabrics, shorts, tanks, athletic dresses, comfortable sneakers, sunscreen, and a portable fan.
September
September is still very much summer in Orlando.
You can start incorporating fall colors and Halloween-inspired Disney accessories, but keep the actual clothing lightweight.
October
October gives you a little more flexibility, particularly in the evenings.
Shorts, skorts, dresses, and tees are still ideal during the day, but bringing a lightweight cardigan or jacket isn't a bad idea.
November
November can be unpredictable.
Warm afternoons are common, but cooler mornings and evenings are possible. Layers become much more useful toward the end of the festival.
DisneyBounding at EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
Food & Wine Festival is one of the easiest Disney events for DisneyBounding because the theme gives you so many directions to take your outfit.
You can build a look around:
Remy
Chef Mickey
Winnie the Pooh
Snow White
Belle
Figment
Orange Bird
Minnie Mouse
Your favorite EPCOT pavilion
Disney snacks or cocktails
You don't need a literal costume.
A recognizable color palette, themed ears, and one or two accessories are usually enough to create a fun DisneyBound while still staying comfortable for a full park day.
