What's even cooler is that you can purchase the pieces that you watched being created before your very optics!

What's wonderful almost the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is that the fine art spans beyond Disney.

Throughout the day, a diversity of performances have place at the World Showcase Plaza (at the entrance to Earth Showcase about Disney Traders). A returning favorite of ours is the "Visual Art in Operation" show, which features Trevor Carlton, a visiting visual artist painting Disney characters within minutes on phase. He always hypes upwardly the audience as he paints forth to high-free energy music.

Disney on Broadway Concert Series at EPCOT International Festival of the Arts 2022

Siblings Adam and Arielle Jacobs kicked off the 2022 series with a fun, energetic performance that showcased their powerful vocals! They sang hits from "High School Musical," "The Lion Male monarch" and "Aladdin." Getting to encounter a variety of Broadway stars perform at no additional cost really adds value to the festival for united states of america.

If you've heard "We Don't Talk About Bruno" one too many times in your household this past month (we've all been there), accept no fright — these performers dig deep into Disney classics and offering a unique fashion.

EPCOT International Festival of the Arts Tips and Tricks

Here are our favorite tips for this year's EPCOT International Festival of the Arts:

• Option up a free festival passport at the park entrance earlier yous head in. It was perfect for planning our day! Everything yous need to know is packed inside, including all of the Food Studios' menus and the locations for shows and activities (some showtimes can exist found in the My Disney Feel app).
• Try scheduling your visit for Tuesday through Thursday mornings for lighter crowds. Locals tend to cease past on the weekends! Don't froget — if you're park hopping, you lot'll need a Disney Park Pass reservation for the get-go park you lot'll be visiting — so if that's EPCOT, you'll demand a Disney Park Pass reservation for EPCOT!

• Find interactive photo-ops throughout World Showcase. You and your tadpoles can become part of classic masterpieces for fun family photos!
• Share your snacks! Many of the festival flavors are quite unique and rich. Some flavors may exist likewise intense to indulge in a full serving for yourself. Sample around the world and split, sip and savor flavors among your frog squad. This is the perfect way to innovate your little ones to heady new ingredients and teach them about the different cultures.
• In general, all of the creative person tents and Food Studios are located by the primary path most the lagoon (rather than within the pavilions).
• Take time to visit with the artists effectually World Showcase. Lookout them paint and chat with them! If art interests your tadpoles, this is a truly unique opportunity to show them where their creativity tin can take them. We loved seeing Lily inspired to make her own behemothic dreamcatcher, and Tad excited to go home and pigment his favorite "Star Wars" graphic symbol.
• Visit the characters, who may even accept some art of their ain out on display or a special creative flair to their costume. We saw Pluto with a colorful collar on when we get-go arrived at the park!
• If you lot're currently obsessed with "Encanto" (as most frog families are right now ... we can proudly admit that we listened to the soundtrack on our way to EPCOT), then you'll need to stop past Vibrante & Vívido: Encanto Cocina, betwixt Morocco and France. Even if you don't want something to consume or potable from the Food Studio, in that location are some signs throughout the queue and seating area that showcase information about concept art and musical inspiration from the new moving-picture show. Plus yous'll definitely discover yourself humming along to the instrumental versions of the catchy bops every bit you wait for your food and read the signs.

• Don't froget about the other one-half of the Nutrient Studios menus — the drinks! Parents can enjoy specialty adult beverages (Leap had a tough time picking among the many beer and wine options), while the tadpoles can sip on something too!
• Check out your usual food stops, such as Refreshment Outpost and Fife & Drum for more special EPCOT International Festival of the Arts food and beverages.
• We highly recommend watching the Broadway Concert Serial. Sit down dorsum and relax as you lot heed to awesome Disney classics and original musical tunes past some of Disney Broadway's best!
• Find unique festival trade, special pins and more in the Festival Showplace and around the park. Every bit always, nosotros recommend creating a "wishlist" throughout the 24-hour interval and picking up all of your sought-after items at the Festival Markets on your way out.
