Epcot International Food & Wine Festival runs Sept. 19-Nov. 10. Which acts are on your must-see list?
We will be at the World from Sept 20-28. There are a couple great acts while we are there, but seeing Rick Springfield is the number one for us.
Seeing Ive never been to these concerts, do the artists ever hang around after the show? Meet and greet? Or are they hustled away? It would be cool to get a pic with any of them if possible
