EPCOT Is About to Look a Lot Different in ONE Week

We are just ONE week away from the opening of EPCOT‘s next festival! The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is just seven days away, and if you can’t tell, we are just a bit excited!

The festival may be short, but it still holds a special place in our hearts, and we can’t wait to become one with our inner artist. This festival is full of color, art, food, and fun, and it all starts in one week!

The 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts runs from January 16th until February 23rd. The festival is just over a month long, so make sure you plan a trip to EPCOT soon if you hope to partake in the festivities. The festival is included with admission to EPCOT, though food, merchandise, and some festival offerings cost extra.

During the festival, you can enjoy themed food and drink from more than 15 different Food Studios located throughout EPCOT. While there are plenty of new dishes and drinks, quite a few of our favorites from last year are also returning. Some of the returning favorites include: the Deconstructed BLT and the Deconstructed Key Lime Pie from Deconstructed Dish, the Wild Mushroom Risotto from Gourmet Landscapes, the Sushi Doughnut from Goshiki, and the Enchanted Rose from Opening Bites.

Of course, we will be at the festival this year, trying out all the food, and letting you know our favorites! In addition to food, you can enjoy artwork throughout EPCOT and even meet a variety of artists. You can even try your hand at drawing a Disney character during the Animation Academy.

Throughout EPCOT, you will also find a variety of artistic activities. You can help paint a larger-than-life mural, hunt for chalk drawings of Disney characters, enjoy themed photo ops, and even embark on a Disney Lorcana adventure.

You can also head to the America Garden Theatre each evening for the Disney on Broadway Concert Series. Each performance features Broadway stars singing numbers from Broadway hits such as Aladdin, Frozen, The Lion King, Mary Poppins, Tarzan, Newsies, and more!

We will be in EPCOT for the opening day of the festival, bringing you FULL coverage of everything there is to do, eat, and drink. Plus, we are also in the parks every single day looking for the newest tips, tricks, and news, so you always have the most up-to-date information. Stay tuned to AllEars for more!
