Who should skip it
You are chasing rides. This is a food-and-music festival that happens to be inside a theme park.
The move
Storytellers rotate by pavilion on a published daily schedule. Pick three and plan the loop, rather than walking the full ring and catching whoever happens to be on.
Getting there
EPCOT main lot, or park at a monorail resort and ride in if you are eating at one.
One thing worth knowing
It opens the day after Thanksgiving and runs to 30 December, which covers essentially the whole school holiday.
Make it an outing
Best on a weekday. Weekend Candlelight Processional queues eat the evening you came for.
