Winter & New Year
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts
The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts runs from mid-January through late February and is widely considered the most creatively inspired of all EPCOT festivals. Like the others, it is included with regular park admission.
The star attraction is the Disney on Broadway concert series -- actual Broadway performers from Disney shows (The Lion King, Aladdin, Frozen) perform at the America Gardens Theatre. These concerts are included with park admission and are genuinely world-class.
The festival also features food-as-art dishes at marketplace booths (think: deconstructed desserts, edible paint palettes, and Instagram-worthy presentations), interactive art walls, guest artist workshops, and a Figment-themed art scavenger hunt for kids.
