Disney4me Posted August 21, 2025 Report Posted August 21, 2025 It’s about to be the BEST — and WORST — time to visit Disney World. EPCOT Does Disney World actually ever take a break? Apparently not! Fresh off the return of the super-popular Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom, August in Disney World isn’t getting any quieter, as THREE huge events are still scheduled to take place, and will no doubt keep the parks PACKED. August 28th and 29th are significant dates this year, as several points of interest are making their debut at Disney World all over the resort. These noteworthy events will also draw in BIG crowds during those days. 2024 Food and Wine Festival Kicking the festivities off will be the debut of the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! Running August 28th through November 22nd, 2025, the Original Disney Food Festival will feature incredible special events, informative culinary and beverage demonstrations, celebrity chefs, and tasty Marketplace Food Booths around the park.
