The Epcot International Festival of the Arts will run through February 25, which means there’s plenty of time left to enjoy everything the festival has to offer – including some of the can’t-miss seminars offered at the Odyssey Festival Showplace.
This year’s seminar lineup includes art seminars in everything from photography to pop-up book design, as well as deep dives into different aspects of Disney history, including traditional Disney animation, 3D storytelling at Walt Disney World and more.
Earlier this month, Jeff Kurtti, author and Disney historian, appeared at the festival to discuss his new book, Travels With Walt, which features rare and never-before-published photographs along with eyewitness recollections and anecdotes detailing Walt’s frequent excursions around the globe.
Check out the video above to hear what he loves about this festival – and view a full video of his seminar here. And check out the full list of upcoming offerings here.
