This past week the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival has wrapped up for the season and is making way for more exciting events like EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. The new seasonal event kicks off on November 24, 2023 and will continue until December 30, 2023. Want more information about the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays? There are recent blogs regarding the events, menus, and entertainment available on our website. Now we are here to learn about the news release of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts in 2024!
Returning to the parks on January 12, 2024 the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts will take guests on a whirlwind experience of music, arts, and more! The event will continue through February 19, 2024 which is just a few short weeks. Plan your next magical vacation now to experience the wonder of art and music at EPCOT with this fantastic festival.
Just like with EPCOT International Food & Wine Festivals Eat to the Beat Concert Series, the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts has a concert series as well, DISNEY ON BROADWAY concert series. Here musical talents take the stage to perform Disney Broadway hits with three shows per day, weather permitting. With artists performing from musicals such as “Frozen”, “Tarzan”, “The Little Mermaid”, “Mary Poppins”, “Beauty and the Beast”, “The Lion King” and so many more, your visit is sure to include such magical memories from the day. Be sure to reach out to your Marvelous Mouse Travels agent for more information regarding which performers will be there when you plan to attend.
Also for the DISNEY ON BROADWAY concert series there will be the dining packages that will be available for reservations on December 9, 2023. There are 8 different restaurants including the package of a dining reservation and reserved seating for a performance that day.
Continuing on with the similarities of the other festivals, there will be Food Studios, or booths, during the festival. With 15 different Food Studios, you could spend multiple days at EPCOT and still not try everyone on the menus. We will definitely be back with full menus, but currently we have seen the Rainbow Cake with freeze dried SKITTLES on top, which will be found at Figment’s Inspiration Station. There will also be a Red Wine-braised Beef Short Rib that will be served at Pastoral Palate.
There will also be a festival passport, where guests can purchase five select items, receive the stamps, and earn a colorful prize. Speaking of prizes, Figment’s Brush with the Master Scavenger Hunt is fun for those of all ages. Around the World Showcase guests can go on the hunt for Figment and learn about art. The scavenger hunt map can be purchased at three locations in the park, which is also where you will be able to collect your prize!
Over at Animation Academy, guests will be able to take a lesson on how to draw a Disney pal. This can be found at American Gardens Theatre. The Paint by Numbers Mural is returning this year, which will be located at the Expression Section. Little ones will have the chance to create a masterpiece on the bridge into the World Showcase. This is available daily from 11:00am to 5:00pm.
The Disney fans are going to love this year's EPCOT Festival of the Arts merchandise. Our purple pal Figment is featured on the new Spirit Jerseys, mugs, and so much more!
