New in 2017: Epcot International Festival of the Arts


Epcot has always been one of my favorite parks.  My husband and I have such fun visiting Epcot with our children (all four of them LOVE the park as well) but have also had quite a good time visiting on our own or with a group of adult friends, too.

Just this past weekend, Epcot introduced a brand new park experience: an International Festival of the Arts, which will run Fridays-Mondays from January 13-February 20 and includes artist demonstrations, concerts, gourmet food, and stage productions.  If you've been thinking about visiting Epcot, it's a great time to do so!

Chalk artists, painters, and living statues will be found throughout the park. Hands-on workshops and complimentary seminars will teach guests techniques such as cake drawing, animation, and calligraphy.  The Disney on Broadway Concert Series will bring stars from Broadway's Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, and Frozen (just to name a few!) to perform at Epcot's America Gardens Theatre.  Kiosks will sell special art-inspired snacks and drinks throughout the World Showcase and Future World.

When combined with the fantastic central Florida weather and Epcot's permanent shows and attractions, the International Festival of the Arts is sure to be a hit and will hopefully appear as an annual event in years to come.

If you'd like to know more about Epcot's International Festival of the Arts (or any of the other festivals held at Epcot throughout the year), have any Disney-related questions, or would like to consider planning a trip of your own, please don't hesitate to contact me at heather@mmadventures.net.  I'd love to help any way I can!
