From January 17-February 24, this uniquely-Disney art festival paints the town with displays of culinary, performing, and visual arts that will inspire the inner artist in all of us.
To prime the canvas, here are some new artful experiences that will debut with the 2025 Festival of the Arts!
Once Upon A Stage: 30 Years of Disney on Broadway
At CommuniCore Hall, guests can experience the magic of Broadway both on and off the stage in this walkthrough exhibit celebrating three decades of Disney on Broadway. Discover costumes and props from fan-favorite stage musicals, then venture behind the scenes to see how the classic animated films “The Lion King” and “Aladdin” were reimagined for the Broadway stage.
The only ticket guests will need to see these iconic props and costumes is their ticket to EPCOT!
Opening Bites Food Studio
Just outside at CommuniCore Plaza, guests can enjoy food! Glorious food! This menu is all about paying homage to the foods and drinks immortalized onstage. Guests should keep an eye out for the Festival of the Arts Foodie Guide coming soon for more decadent details about Food Studios around the park.
New Artful Photo Op
With the Artful Photo Ops, families can step into the canvas and strike a pose. Along with returning favorites like Luncheon of the Boating Party by Pierre-August Renoir and Edvard Munch’s The Scream, there is a new Artful Photo Op inviting guests to voyage alongside our favorite seafarer featuring Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Moana.”
Disney on Broadway Concert Series
Earlier, we revealed the star-studded lineup for the Disney on Broadway Concert Series. While we’re excited for literally every performer coming to this incredible concert series, we are especially thrilled to see the three newcomers to the America Gardens Theatre stage.
Guests may know Jelani Remy from his role as Simba from “The Lion King.” Rodney Ingram performed the title role of “Aladdin” on Broadway and originated the role in the Mexico City production, and John Riddle originated the role of Hans in “Frozen.” Cue the applause!
This concert series is an amazing way to see a slice of Broadway talent right here in Central Florida!
We hope guests will join us in singing, dancing and dining their way through all the EPCOT Festival of the Arts has to offer. C’mon, friends, we’ll go and paint the park from Jan. 17-Feb. 24!
