What’s Happening:
- The return of the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays will put a little holly-jolly in your seasonal visits to EPCOT from November 29th through December 30th.
- This year, the creative minds of the EPCOT Festival Team and Walt Disney Imagineering partnered with the delicious skills of the EPCOT Pastry team to create an 8-foot-tall gingerbread display inspired by Spaceship Earth.
- The geodesic sphere made up of hundreds of handcrafted gingerbread triangles will be on display inside CommuniCore Hall for all guests to see and enjoy throughout the festival.
