food IS a theme park
It’s almost time for one of our favorite events of the year!
2022 Festival of the Arts
The 2023 EPCOT Festival of the Arts kicks off on January 13th, and we just learned more details about what food booths we can expect, what experiences are returning, and the wonderful art and entertainment at the fest. Speaking of which, you can now book dining packages for the Disney on Broadway concert series!
The holidays will be over before you know it, and soon, it will be 2023!
2022 EPCOT Festival of the Arts

Okay, so it’s no secret that Figment is a SUPER popular Disney World character.
Figment is a SUPER STAR
He is ALWAYS turning up on merchandise. Fans literally waited in line for HOURS to get their hands on a Figment popcorn bucket. Even Harveys released a bag with his head on it. If you’re a Figment fan, though, even MORE merchandise is on its way and we’ve got your FIRST LOOK.
It’s not always easy to decide what time of year to visit Disney World.
People, people everywhere
Do you take advantage of school or holiday breaks? Visit in the summer for the warm heat? Plan your trips around EPCOT festivals or runDisney marathons? Or, you might plan around one very specific Disney World element — CROWDS. Some people don’t mind them but others will avoid them at all costs. So what are the crowds like in January? We’re here to break it down for you!
These days, it can be hard to keep up with all the changes and updates happening around Disney World.

If you’re a Disney World fan, you probably know about the wonders that are EPCOT Festivals. There is a festival running in EPCOT almost every day of the year at this point!
EPCOT sunsets are EXTRA beautiful!
The year starts with EPCOT Festival of the Arts, then EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, then EPCOT Food and Wine Festival (the BIG one), and ends with EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. No matter the fest, there are a lot of food and drinks to try and that can get EXPENSIVE — so, how should YOU budget?
You’ve gotten your dining reservations, booked the perfect hotel room, and even bought your tickets. But if you’ve forgotten to do 1 critical thing, you could find yourself in SERIOUS TROUBLE when you arrive at Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
What are we talking about? Well, Park Pass Reservations of course! While you will need a valid theme park ticket to get into the Most Magical Place on Earth, you’ll ALSO need a valid Park Pass Reservation for the parks you want to visit. Some days, especially during a slow time of the year, you may be able to score a reservation to your desired theme park at the last-minute, easy peasy. But there are some dates in 2022 that could be EXTREMELY popular or busy, and you’ll want to make your theme park reservations for them as far in advance as you can. So, don’t be the White Rabbit (late for a very important date) — let’s look at the 2022 dates for which you’ll want to book your theme park reservations NOW!
The first month of 2022 is coming to a close, so it’s time to recap the best and worst things we tried in January around Disney World!
EPCOT Festival of the Arts
January is one of the months of the year where we try a ton of new dishes at the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, so there were some top (and bottom) picks that you’ll find on this month’s list. But there were a few additional items we wanted to make sure we included as well! Let’s dive in and review the food and drink items that stood out to us from this past month, for better or for worse.
The results are in! We asked our readers on Instagram a difficult question: which treat should reign supreme at EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts? With so many amazing drinks, desserts, and snacks to choose from, it was not an easy task, but round by round, our followers came to a decision!
