Hello Frank!
Welcome to planDisney! I think this is one of the most burning questions of 2023 right after wondering if
Disney Dining Plans are coming back. Sadly, the answer for both is "unknown."
However, we should look to the past to see what could happen in the future. We tend to see that over the last several years, dates for the following year appear in
June of the current year. The hope is now we will see that repeat itself this year. I recommend you keep an ear out and look to the
Disney Parks Blog for updates and news.
I bet when you arrive next year you will come right during the
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. It's always held at the beginning of the year and just for a few short weeks. It is a popular and delicious event with colorful treats and experiences. It is perfect for kids of all ages. I recently got to experience it this past January and I have fond memories of a marvelous grilled cheese sandwich and a deconstructed key lime pie. The dates for this event in 2024 will be released later this year and I hope you get a chance to enjoy it.
I hope you have a magical time and I'm crossing my fingers and toes that you get your tickets soon!
Let me know if you have any questions as I am glad to help!
