food IS a theme park
The party has started, y’all! The 2024 EPCOT Festival of the Arts is officially underway!
EPCOT Festival of the Arts
We’ve been covering the festival LIVE for you so you have all the details on all the food, the entertainment, and — of course — the merchandise. So there’s one souvenir, though, that we’ve ALL been impatiently waiting for. But it’s finally here, a NEW Figment Popcorn Bucket has arrived on the scene!
Salmon has taken over the France Festival of the Arts Food Studio! And though Duchess, Marie, Berlioz, and Toulouse from The Aristocats might be in heaven with this change, we had to head over to see what it was all about!
L’Art de la Cuisine Francaise
The 2024 EPCOT Festival of the Arts has officially begun, and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food studios with tasty items, shows and artistic performances to watch, souvenirs to grab (of course), and even an art-inspired food stroll to complete. But don’t let it overwhelm you — we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. But for now, we’re taking you with us to the food booth within the France pavilion — L’Art de la Cuisine Francaise — so you can see just what it has to offer!
It’s officially time! The EPCOT Festival of the Arts has kicked off, and we are here LIVE showing you everything there is to see, do, and eat!

But, hey, what about merchandise? Well, there is some festival-exclusive merchandise to grab this year, so come with us as we show you ALL of it.
EPCOT has been through quite a few changes recently!
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
The park is almost done with a massive transformation that included new rides, restaurants, gift shops, and common spaces. Just back in December, we saw World Celebration (the area in the middle of the park) reopen to visitors, but construction in the front areas of the park isn’t quite done yet. And recently, there was another major change!
We see it happen every year. Disney releases some snazzy new merchandise (perhaps a popcorn bucket? maybe a tote bag?), and Disney fans FLOCK to stores to check it out. Speaking of new merchandise, January 12th marks the first official day of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, and each new festival brings TONS of popular new souvenirs to Disney World.
2024 EPCOT Festival of the Arts Passport
We’re just getting started at this year’s festival, but there already seems to be one HOT ticket item. And no — it isn’t a Loungefly bag or a pair of Minnie ears. Wait until you see the new item that is literally flying off the shelves.
Let’s be honest. Even EPCOT experts would be lost without those handy, dandy little EPCOT festival passports and digital guides. They’re a serious life-saver. It’s one thing to know your way around the park; it’s another to know exactly where every snack, drink, and dessert is located.
2023 EPCOT Festival of the Arts
Well, it’s that time of year when we’re here for your annual reminder that EPCOT’s festival passports are a must-have, so let’s talk about why these things are so helpful.
Everyone remain calm — it’s finally happening!
Happy Festival of the Arts!
The 2024 Festival of the Arts has officially begun, and we’re experiencing it ALL so we can share the latest & greatest details with you. But as you read this post and see all of the amazing art you’ll be able to check out at the Festival, get a peek at the mouth-watering food, and admire all of the Festival merchandise, you may find yourself booking a Disney World trip without even realizing it! So, basically, read this at your own risk! 🤣
January 12th is the first day of the 2024 EPCOT Festival of the Arts, which means that the new Figment Popcorn Bucket is officially OUT! If you’re dying to get your hands on one of these, we’ve got all the information you need to know.
2024 Figment Popcorn Bucket
Remember the last time a Figment Popcorn Bucket was released during one of these festivals? Yeah, it was rough. But luckily, this time you won’t have to wait in a six+ hour line to get one! They’re available on Mobile Order, and we’ve already put our order in, so you can too if you’re going to EPCOT today! [Read more…]
Well, it’s official. The Disney Dining Plan has returned to Disney World!
Coconut Pineapple Dole Whip Swirl
Now, we know you have a lot of questions about the Dining Plan, and we’re doing our best to answer them all. We’ve been hoofing it all over Disney World to find out all the INS and OUTS of the Dining Plan, as well as to see how much it has changed since we last had access to it way back in 2020. But we know you have loads of questions about snacks, so we’ve put together a list of some of our faves that our confirmed as Disney Dining Plan snack credits.
We’re in the dead of winter. The sun sets early. It’s cold outside (in some parts of the U.S., anyway). January isn’t really a stellar month in terms of joy and festivities. Luckily, EPCOT is here to bring a little bright spot to this long, dark winter! The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is starting SOON (like, VERY soon), and we can’t WAIT to show off our artistic side.
Happy Festival of the Arts season!
This year, the Festival runs from January 12th – February 19th, 2024. If you’re interested in snacking around the world — and maybe even participating in the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine — you might want to listen up. We’ve got some NEW details to share ahead of the Festival of the Arts celebration!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
