This festival is still fairly new, but already extremely popular. I’ve been lucky enough to have attended every year, and I’m looking forward to next year! The festival will run January 17, 2020 through February 24.

The Disney on Broadway Concert Series performs at the America Gardens Theatre three times daily. These concerts are headlined by Broadway stars! The shows are included with theme park admission. You can have guaranteed seating when you book a Disney on Broadway dining package.

This year the play area is Wall-E themed! It’s called the Green Landing Family Play Zone. I have a deep love for Wall-E, so I will be checking this out! Wall-E and Eve invite you to enjoy a lush green environment built for exploring. I’m crossing my fingers that they’ll be there!

In the World Showcase Plaza, there will be a mural that you can help paint! This is always very busy, but fun!

Epcot has many scavenger hunts, for this festival you will find where Figment has painted himself into famous pieces of art in each World Showcase pavilion. Have a great time looking for Figment with Figment’s Brush with the Masters!

One of the most fun, and often hilarious, things to do while you’re enjoying the festival is to put yourself into famous works with Disney Photo Pass. I’ve seen new photo opportunities come each year and I’m hoping for more this festival.

Many Disney artists and works of art can be seen during this festival. It’s a great opportunity to buy Disney art and Festival of the Arts merchandise. Don’t forget that there are also food booths with artsy delectables!

Check back for the additional performances. They’ll be updated as Disney releases them.
