Welcome to planDisney, Nicole!
This past year was my first time vacationing at Walt Disney World during the
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. Boy, was I blown away by the performances, artwork, and delicious eats available! My kids enjoyed the chalk art, while my wife and I enjoyed the massive painting by the number mural.
Looking back at the last few years, the Festival of the Arts started around mid-January and extended through late February, typically ending the third week of the month. Last year, the
Disney Parks Blog announced the dates of the 2024 Festival in mid-November, so I suggest following the blog so you can stay up to date on the latest Disney Parks news!
Since you plan to visit EPCOT, let me share some of my favorite foods and drinks around the World Showcase. In the France Pavilion,
Les Vins des Chefs de France has a super refreshing Citron slush perfect on a sunny Orlando day.
Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe offers the infamously delicious School Bread and Viking Coffee in the Norway Pavilion.
Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria, found in the Italy Pavilion, has the best pizza in all of the Walt Disney World Resort, and
San Angel Inn Restaurante in the Mexico Pavilion has a great atmosphere and delicious Totopos Con Queso.
If you have any additional Disney World vacation planning questions, Nicole,
please submit another question. I’d be happy to share more tips and recommendations so you can have a fantastic visit to The Most Magical Place On Earth!
Cheers,
Brent
