More and more information is starting to be released for this year’s Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. The Festival will run from September 14 to November 14 this year. It’s been announced that for this year the Festival will extend past the park.
The Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is one of the most popular events held at Disney World. We had our first experience this past September and absolutely loved it! Now Food & Wine fans will have extra time to enjoy the festival.
Moving along with the top attraction series we head to Epcot. Keep in mind that Magic Kingdom has, by far, the most attractions. So, as we go to the other parks the lists may not be as long, because they don’t have as many attractions.
Time has flown by and we are now at the last weekend of Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival. Can you believe it?
We’ve all looked at the pyramid in the Mexico Pavilion at Epcot and thought “I wonder if you can climb that?” Common sense kicks in and keeps us from making an extremely poor decision…at least for most of us.
I’m sure you have seen this video by now, but a man was recorded climbing the pyramid and it looks like he made it to the top. Due to the behavior and the fact that it happened during Food and Wine Festival, people are naturally assuming he was drunk.
No reports have come out as to what has happened to the man and this is a topic of conversation in a lot of Disney forums today. People are thinking that he will probably be banned from the park. I would say there is a good chance of that. Disney likes to keep things happy and safe.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, the video was first posted on Instagram. In the article it says that the man climbed to the top and disappeared from sight. It’s assumed he climbed down the side of the pyramid. Apparently, a woman from his group tried to climb the pyramid too, but security stopped her.
It’s not clear what, if any, actions have been taken against the man.
Here is the video from YouTube:
