Epcot International Festival of the Arts Menus and More!

 

The Epcot International Festival of the Arts is almost here! It will run from January 13 through February 20. This has quickly become one of my favorite included extras at Walt Disney World. There’s something different around every corner! Although food isn’t as much a part of Festival of the Arts as at the other three festivals, you’ll still find plenty of unique choices. The problem with the Food Studios is that the food is almost too artistic to eat! Disney Parks Blog has released the menus for the 2023 Epcot International Festival of the Arts. There are also a few other interesting tidbits of information, including the return of a very popular popcorn bucket…

Disney Eats Foodie Guide to the 2023 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts Presented by AT&T

by Nicole Cantore, Digital Integration Specialist, Global Food & Beverage

Calling all festival fans and foodies! The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts presented by AT&T is just around the corner. From Jan. 13 through Feb. 20, 2023, this festival will celebrate the creation and beauty of cuisines, music, and, of course, art.

This year, the chefs and mixologists have crafted works of art for you to indulge in. With nearly 15 Food Studios, there are plenty of returning favorites, like the classic Wild Mushroom Risotto, as well as new treats premiering on the foodie stage, like the Hummingbird Cake from The Artist’s Table. As you eat your way around the World Showcase, be sure to pick up a Festival Passport to take part in the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine, a returning food stroll featuring culinary delights. With each bite, collect stamps by purchasing five of these decadent dishes to redeem a special prize from Deco Delights to enjoy.

If you love Figment, you’re in luck, because the festival is giving our favorite imagination fan some extra love. New this year, you can explore Figment’s Inspiration Station at the Odyssey: Art, Food, and Little Sparks of Magic. And not only that, but you can bring home Figment with the brand-new Fruity Fig Bar Figment Disney Munchling. This adorable, limited-edition Disney Munchling features the sweet smell of berries and can be found both at the merchandise locations at the festival and on shopDisney. And the Figment Premium Popcorn Bucket is back, but this year with a new EPCOT 40^thAnniversary strap! As you can see, there’s plenty of Figment to go around.

I think you’ve waited long enough. I present to you the Disney Eats Foodie Guide to EPCOT International Festival of the Arts presented by AT&T!
