Today's the day: it's the first day of the 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. While I love all of the festivals at EPCOT, each one is special for a different reason. This particular festival is a fantastic chance to buy art from your favorite Disney artists and then meet them and get their autographs. I have collected quite a few signed postcards and prints at previous festivals.
As with all festivals at EPCOT, there are tons of tasty treats throughout the park. And be sure to keep an eye out for dishes from the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine food stroll. With each dish, collect a stamp in your Festival Passport. Once you've collected five stamps, head to Deco Delights for a special prize.
