Chapter 4: EPCOT Center’s Food & Wine & Beer & Whiskey Festival: That morning, we had some slight setbacks that had me concerned that we wouldn’t get to EPCOT by 8 a.m. For the start of morning extra magic hours. When we left our room at 7:25, I thought we had no shot. By complete

For those first time readers, thanks for opening this thread–we hope it doesn’t disappoint! The trip began in its typical manner, under chaotic circumstances.
CHAPTER III: Our Kingdom Awaits Given the late start, there was little point to head to the Studios, especially since the attractions we most wanted to experience would likely have long waits and far-away FastPass windows, and we were only planning on staying in the Studios until noon.
