Hi
Hoping somebody can help me!
I'm trying to sort out our plans for our trip in late September/early October and we will be there while the F&W Festival is on, my question is when there is an evening EMH at EPCOT are you still able to get around the countries and in the shops etc or is it just rides that stay open and also do the F&W booths stay open in EMH??
Everything stays open. 
Thanks Kristen I had thought this was the case and them someone mentioned it might just be the rides and future world open and if it was I just wasnt sure I wold get the most out of the EMH so very happy to see everything is open.
Thank you so much! 
When we were there in 2012 all F&WF booths closed at park close. They were not open for EMH.

Allie is right. The shops and pavilions stay open, but the Food and Wine Festival booths close at regular park closing.
Thanks for the help! I'm not really bothered about riding the rides in EMH but more about enjoying the world showcase while possibly enjoying a cocktail or 3 do you think that will be possible?????
I don't know whether all the international pavilion food and drink venues will be open during EMH, but I'm sure some will be.
Oh I didn't even consider the special booths - apologies.
The regular cocktail kisosks that are there all year should still be open, shouldn't they?
We were at Epcot on Friday, Feb.14 and they had EMH 9pm-11pm. We were still able to walk through World showcase, but only a few restaurants and food carts stayed open, the majority of them closed at 9pm when the park is regularly scheduled to close. We've never been to Epcot EMH during F&W, so I'm not sure about the special F&W booths.
Hmmmm will defiantly be going to Epcot for park close and illuminations with EMH and see what I can find open if not I'm sure river roost at PORS will be willing to give me a cocktail
Thanks so much for all your help!
As long as La Cava is open... 
We noticed that when Illuminations started, the beer and wine stand at Germany closed, and didn't reopen after even on EMH, so I doubt it would be any different. We will be there for F&W as well, as wasn't planning on it.
