Taste of Epcot International Festival of the Arts 2022

[sethschroeder]

what else is there to see or do associated with the festival?

Tons food is really just the start.

There is going to be:
Live shows with singing
Live artists painting
Chalk art
Art booths (like EVERYWHERE not just in the festival building)
Special picture spots (both places with things on the wall but also you can "Step inside" famous paintings)
Festival specific shops

There is a ton of stuff to look at and enjoy.

So today my partner and I decided to add an extra day to our Disney vacay next month so we can check out this festival. We have attended other Epcot festivals, but never this one. We already looked at all the food booth menus, but what else is there to see or do associated with the festival? Any information or recommendations would be appreciated!

Once the festival actually starts there will be a lot of vlogs out about it but if you don't want to wait check out the ones from last year.

Cool, I will start reading blogs next weekend. Don't relly care about the live music, but would love to see all the displays

This will be my first Festival of the Arts. The "paint by number" thing looks really fun! Too bad I won't be around for the end of the Festival to see it complete. Does anyone know how well-attended this festival is compared to Food and Wine? Originally I'd planned to go on a Saturday, but remembering how super-busy the Food and Wine was on Saturdays, I changed to Friday. I'm really looking forward to it. Are the cookie stroll. or the colored food thing (where you get a cookie at the end) worth it?

Looking forward to attending. Thanks for this thread! I've heard such great thing about the Festival. Already signed up for my FOTA Dining Concert package.

they actually complete many of these during the festival. Go by later in the day and you might see it complete. We have done the color stroll or whatever they call it in the past. It is worth it if you like the food they are serving or think you will like it lol. This year my daughter doesn't like one item for sure so we won't be doing it. Did the cheese stroll last year and the dessert you got for completing it was yummy. A cheesecake/ice cream type dessert. IDK what the prize for the color stroll is this year yet

Excited to start hearing about favorite items starting tomorrow! I have so many things on my wish list!

Lots of vlogs and livestreams will be happening tomorrow for those interested. We get in tomorrow so I might try something but plan is skyliner to Epcot, hit up Regal Eagle, and possibly hit Living with the Land and Figment (maybe Finding Nemo).

I will have to wait for prices to show up as well. I know a couple booths have their prices out now but not all of them from what I saw.

I have a bad feeling about trying to get a grilled cheese/tomato soup or bloody mary at Pop Eats…wonder how ridiculous the line will be for Figment popcorn buckets?

I would love to get one but I'm figuring they will probably be sold out before I get there on the 3rd

Don’t worry, I’m sure you can get one on eBay for $50 !

That cheap?! LOL

If I see one when I’m there, I can grab one for you (I WILL be getting a freaking bloody mary and grilled cheese), but given the sell-out and restocking timelines I saw in the fall, I think early Feb is more likely than late Jan.

Wait you want one?

I am there tomorrow?

Can you leave things at the front desk at Disney hotels? I could leave it for you.

That is so awesome of you to offer to do that! Don't worry about going through the trouble though. I really appreciate you being willing to do it though!!

Thank you so much! I appreciate that but don't worry about it. If they have it when I'm there I'll get it, if not I can live without it lol. I hope you enjoy your bloody mary and grilled cheese!

I just saw on a blog that the line for those &@$# buckets is hours long. Perhaps I won’t get my brunch!
