Plan your trip around the World Showcase and prioritize the dishes you would like to try, so you don’t fill up too quickly!
If you don’t feel like carrying around the festival passport, you can also find a digital version of the festival guide in the My Disney Experience app.
Some of the items are marked as plant-based or gluten-free on the menus. However, if you have other dietary concerns, speak to a cast member before placing your order.
Bring your own bottle of water or a reusable bottle that you can fill at locations like Connections Eatery. The Food Studios have bottled water for sale, but most if not all are unable to provide the free cups of ice water you typically find at quick service dining locations.
If you enjoy the festival’s Animation Academy, be sure to also check out The Animation Experience at Conservation Station at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park.
Figment’s Inspiration Station at the Odyssey: Art, Food and Little Sparks of Magic is a nice indoor spot with tables and chairs, which make for much more comfortable dining spots than the traditional EPCOT trash can.
For a guaranteed seat to a Disney on Broadway Concert Series performance, you can reserve a Disney on Broadway Concert Series Dining Package that includes a meal at a select EPCOT restaurant and reserved seating at American Gardens Theatre.
Take home your favorite works of art! You can purchase pieces from the many artists at the festival, such as Larry Dotson, Thomas Kinkade Studios, and more.
It’s not too late to book a stay during the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! Check out some great confirmed reservations from the DVC Rental Store.
