With the return of EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts on January 12th, comes the return of fun, creative, offerings across 18 different food studios at the park.
What’s Happening:
- The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is kicking off in just a couple weeks, starting Jan. 12 through Feb. 19, and as part of the festivities, EPCOT will embrace the arts in all forms – from music to cuisines, – to fill the park with plenty of dazzling experiences to enjoy.
- 18 Food Studios will be filled with expertly crafted offerings from Disney’s talented teams of chefs and mixologists, and this year, there are multiple returning favorites, like the Red Wine-braised Beef Short Rib and Deconstructed Key Lime Pie, as well as soon-to-be premiering dishes, like the Neapolitan Dessert Trio and Grilled Pork Belly.
- Those visiting the park should be sure to pick up a Festival Passport to take part in the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine, a returning food stroll featuring culinary delights. They can collect stamps by purchasing five of these dishes to redeem a special prize from Deco Delights to enjoy.
- The Figment love continues this year because not only is Figment’s Inspiration Station at the Odyssey: Art, Food, and Little Sparks of Magic back with its tasty treats, but there’s even a brand-new popcorn bucket, which you can find out more about here.
