Foodie Guide to the 2022 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts Premiering Jan. 14

Hello Disney foodies! I’m Nicole, and as a newly appointed member of the team, I will be one of your new guides to all things Disney food. If you’re a treats connoisseur like me, once you set your eyes upon these eats and sips from this year’s EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, your taste buds are going to be begging to try them all.

Running from Jan. 14 through Feb. 21, 2022 – right in the midst of the 18-month-long Walt Disney World Resort 50th Anniversary Celebration – the Festival will showcase visual, culinary and performing arts from across the globe. This year, the chefs and mixologists have crafted items that aren’t just delicious, but truly works of art.

Get a glimpse of the 15 Food Studios featuring some returning favorites and soon-to-be hits taking the foodie stage for the first time, like the brand-new The Craftsman’s Courtyard. For some added fun, be sure to pick up a Festival Passport to try out the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine, a returning food stroll featuring some true culinary masterpieces. As you travel throughout the Festival, collect stamps by purchasing five of these decadent dishes to redeem a special prize from Deco Delights to enjoy.

For a special sneak peek of the new must-have popcorn bucket, be sure to check out this TikTok featuring everyone’s favorite fan of imagination, Figment!
