We’ve got an important update for you about one of our favorite EPCOT festivals!

Visiting EPCOT’s seasonal festivals during your trip to Disney World could be the highlight of your vacation. When Disney announced the dates of the upcoming Festival of the Arts for 2025, we didn’t get too many details about its entertainment offerings beyond that. However, it seems Disney is finally ready to share more exciting news about one of its popular festival offerings.

One of the best offerings at EPCOT while attending the Festival of the Arts is getting to see some of the brightest stars from Broadway perform right before your eyes. The festival’s Disney on Broadway series brings these performers front and center, singing their iconic songs from popular Disney musicals like Frozen, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and more.

Disney just announced the coming year’s lineup of amazing live performers who have graced the Broadway stage in these productions, including some who originated their roles. Let’s take a look at who you can expect to attend (and when) this coming year:

But that’s not all! Disney’s latest update on this offering confirms that a popular option of the festival will be returning in 2025. If the idea of dinner and a show makes you want to sing, check out the Disney On Broadway Dining Packages!

With this option, you can choose to enjoy a meal from one of 15 participating EPCOT restaurants and enjoy guaranteed priority seating at one of the Disney on Broadway Concerts that night. Booking for these dining packages will begin on December 18th and will be available to book on the Disney World app or through Disney World’s website.

The fun doesn’t stop there! Food Studios will also be returning this year, giving art critics and gourmands alike a chance to enjoy a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. More updates soon on what those menus will look like for this year’s upcoming festival!

The Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine will also be returning, allowing you to take a walk on the tasty side as you enjoy delicious eats around EPCOT.

Use your Festival Passport to look for these special menu items, track your progress by collecting a stamp after each purchase, and once you’ve enjoyed at least 5 of the 7 dishes, bring your stamped Festival Passport to the Deco Delights Food Studio to receive a complimentary Artist Palette Cookie.

Animation Academy at the American Gardens Theater will be returning daily at 12:30 and 1:30PM, allowing you the chance to learn to draw Disney characters from featured Disney artists like Luke Consolo, Matthew Dewater, Justin Dring, Will Gay, and more!

Visual Art in Performance is returning to the World Showcase Plaza. This special offering will only take place Thursday through Sunday during the festival, and it’s your chance to watch an artist paint a Disney character in mere minutes!
