What To Eat At Epcot Food & Wine Festival During runDisney Wine & Dine Weekend!

The Epcot Food & Wine Festival at Disney World is a lot of fun. runDisney puts on a fantastic race weekend during this time called the Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend.  There is a 5k, 10k, and half marathon. If you are feeling ambitious you can even signup for the Two Course Challenge, which is running the 10k and the half marathon. You get a bonus challenge medal for accomplishing this.

There is also an after party for runners that takes place at Epcot in the evening once the half marathon is done. The Food & Wine booths are opening for ordering and I am here to give you the best choices! Here is your guide to what to eat and drink at the runDisney Wine and Dine afterparty:
