Is it just me or have they still not released any schedule information?

Today was the first confirmation of festival dates so I’m sure that will be coming next.

So excited to hear this will be back in 2020! My DH and I have never been and we're looking forward to exploring.

Megan and I will be there 1/12-1/19. Hopefully we can catch up.

 

[NikkiDP]

Yay! So happy dates have finally been announced. We booked our January trip so we could go! Following for all the details yet to come!

Usually does the festival extend for a few days? We will be there on Feb 26th so unfortunately I will be missing it shortly
And Flower and Garden most likely won’t be started yet either...

Never heard of any of the festivals being extended.
Can you change your dates?

Festivals are not extended, but the good news is that by Feb. 26 many of the topiaries and floral displays most likely will be in place for the upcoming Flower and Garden Festival.

No... plane tickets already bought
It will give me another reason to come back!

That’s awesome! This is what I was mostly hoping for so that’s great news!!!

So glad the Arts Festival is coming back! It is my favorite festival, with Flower and Garden a close second.

I'm glad it is coming back. I've never been and booked my trip for Feb. 2020 so I could be there for this festival.
Eagerly awaiting the Broadway performances!

We'll be there during that time, and I'm excited to see what it's all about. We have never been to this festival; does it take over Epcot like Food and Wine does? I didn't like being at Epcot during Food and Wine simply because I felt like I couldn't experience Epcot as it is as a park. Can we still enjoy Epcot with all the festival activities and events going on? Also, do you think it will be fun or of interest for a 5 year old?

I think a 5 year old would enjoy it as they have had a scavenger hunt and a paint by numbers mural in the past

It's like a mini Food and Wine / Flower and Garden festival. We love it - usually cool temps, interesting setups and photo ops, a few neat things for the kids to do. You know it's there but it doesn't necessarily take over World Showcase, if that makes sense. My kids are 9 and 5 and we've enjoyed it in the past.

 

[JCornell]

Yay. We've been looking forward to this. They announced it 2 weeks earlier than they did last year so now to wait patiently for a few weeks for room discounts to come out.

It's similar, but on a smaller scale. There is a mural that guests help to paint. You can buy a cookie that comes with icing to paint on it. There are lots of photo ops.

The Broadway singers are amazing. But I saw lots of restless kids after the first couple numbers. My son went with his theatre friends last year and loved every minute!
