“From the art of Disney historical artist Mary Blair and Herb Ryman art of Epcot to current Disney artists Joe Kaminski and Costa Alavezos, you’ll not only be surrounded by incredible visions, you’ll watch the creative process live.

In the inaugural year of the Epcot International Festival of the Arts, a collaboration with Disney Theatrical will bring an exciting new showcase of favorite music and Broadway talent to the America Gardens Theatre stage.

Over the six weeks of the festival, you’ll enjoy different pairings of phenomenal Broadway talent in concert singing the award-winning music of Disney on Broadway.

And then you’ll feast on creations that look almost too good to eat, but you won’t be able to resist our Food Studios. Your eyes and taste buds will battle over which sense is getting the better treat.

The Epcot International Festival of the Arts will run Fridays through Mondays, and unveil brand new art each week. That means, you’ll want to return each weekend for an original experience.”

The music and production of Broadway sounds exciting!  What do you look forward to the most?

Any idea when we'll have details? We're at the 30 day mark and it's hard to plan when we aren't sure what is happening on which days!

Hi Kenny, Do you think this will have an affect on crowds during those 6 weeks? We'll be down 1/22-2/3.

It might affect Epcot on Saturdays, otherwise I doubt it. Most people won't know it exists
