The Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine

Embark on The Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine, the Festival Passport in hand, guiding you through a global culinary journey. Each plate is a new color, a new taste, and you revel in the variety, collecting stamps with each delicacy. The quest culminates at Deco Delights, where your collection of stamps earns you a complimentary Artist Palette Cookie, its design as delightful as its taste.

Gallery of Genius

Tour the park and mingle with the artists of Disney, their creations inspiring your own aesthetic journey. The galleries are not just displays but conversations, your camera capturing each piece, your mind already planning where these will hang in your home, adding to your personal art collection.

Ephemeral Chalk Artistry

Magical works of art are around every corner at EPCOT, and in the case of this festival, they may be right under your feet or on the wall behind the bench you’re resting on. Chalk Full of Characters treats you to sights of chalk drawings of your favorite Disney characters around World Showcase. The kids channel their inner artists at the bridge to World Showcase Plaza from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for Kids Chalk Art. With chalks of different colors available and a wild imagination, you will leave your creative mark on EPCOT.

Scavenger Hunt:Figment’s Brush with the Masters

Figment needs your help finding beautiful art, turning the day’s theme park fun into an opportunity to channel your inner detective. Embark on Scavenger Hunt: Figment’s Brush with the Masters, which begins at Creations Shop, Port of Entry, and World Traveler to buy your map and stickers. Journey through each World Showcase Pavilion to find hidden art inspired by famous works. Keep an eye out for the Figment-theme picture frame to discover the pieces and add the corresponding sticker to the Pavilion on your map. Return to Disney Traders, Creations Shop, or World Traveler by February 24th after completing your quest, and a keepsake is waiting with your name on it!

Disney on Broadway

The night crescendos with the Disney on Broadway concert series, where you’re not just a spectator but part of the performance, singing along to iconic times. At the American Gardens Theatre in the American Adventure Pavilion, your meal, paired with the music, feels like a private show, the stars above and the lights of the stage creating a symphony of sights and sounds.
