The EPCOT Food and Wine Festival will be here before you know it, and we’re pretty excited. OF COURSE, we’re excited because this year’s festival is bringing almost 100 new food items to EPCOT, and we are ready to try them all!
We love festivals, but finding a table at one? Good luck!
BUT…we still have a big beef with EPCOT festivals, and we bet you’ve probably had this problem, too: there are never enough places to eat. That means you pretty much just end up using the top of a trash can as a table, and yes, we’ve all done it. Well, EPCOT just made a huge change that could mean the end of trashcan dining forever.
We were making our way at EPCOT today, and we noticed something new across from the Odyssey building. Fence tables have been placed around fencing so you finally have a tabletop that’s NOT a trash can to eat your festival food off of. GAME CHANGER. So it seems that Disney has been paying attention to at least one of our woes.
Fence tables!
These tables are also big enough for several people to put their food on, so you can keep your party together.
They’re pretty big
Of course, Disney had to make it clear that these are TABLES, and not chairs, and each table has a sign on it that you can’t sit on it. We previously saw fence tables in Disney California Adventure, so we’re happy they’ve made their way to the East Coast.
Don’t try to sit on them
This is great news, because EPCOT has been busy changing out its trash cans. We noticed the solar trash cans start to pop up back in June, but now we’re seeing more of those trash cans throughout the park. These trash cans presented a problem, though, because they have curved tops, which means you can’t easily place a drink, plate, or tray on them.
New trash cans
Of course, we might argue we’d also like to see more additional seating WITH these tables, but we’ll take what we can get. In the meantime, we’ll keep you updated on all things Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
