Epcot Festival of the Arts Is Unlike Any Other Festival — Here's Why

Food & Wine gets all the attention. Flower & Garden is beloved. But Epcot's Festival of the Arts is genuinely unlike anything else in the theme park world — and after spending a full day exploring it we're convinced it's one of the most underrated events at Walt Disney World. Here's everything that makes it special and everything worth your time in 2025. We cover: ✦ What makes Festival of the Arts completely different from other Epcot festivals — and why that matters ✦ Communicore Hall finally delivering — 30 years of Disney on Broadway costumes, props & stage models all in one space ✦ The chalk art walkthrough — why you might see something totally different every time you visit (it changes weekly!) ✦ Food booth reviews — what to order and what to skip: 🧀 Pop Eats — the pimento grilled cheese with tomato soup is the #1 most sought-after bite at the entire festival (it delivers) 🇯🇵 Japan — Wagyu A5 beef fun & kayaki with boba cream (both excellent) 🥐 Craftsman's Courtyard — beef Wellington pin croissant (honest review: skip it, soggy and disappointing) ✦ Animation Academy — we drew Stitch with a real Disney sketch artist (free with park admission, happens twice daily) ✦ The giant painting photo frames — step inside famous works of art for the most unique park photo you'll ever take ✦ The art stands — Disney-inspired prints starting at $35, artist signings & why they're worth browsing ✦ Disney on Broadway nightly shows — how to get dining package seating ✦ 2025 merch overview — Spirit jerseys & tote bags 🎨 Festival of the Arts 2025 runs January 17th – February 24th — perfect weather, smaller crowds, a must-do 🎡 This is part of our ongoing Epcot Festival Series — check out our Food & Wine and Festival of the Holidays coverage too! 🏰 Planning a Walt Disney World trip during Festival of the Arts?
