What Can You Eat at This Year’s EPCOT Festival of the Arts?

Tomorrow kicks off, I think, my favorite festival that EPCOT does. The EPCOT Festival of the Arts returns. (Ok…technically it’s the Taste of EPCOT Festival of the Arts, but to-ma-to/to-mah-to).

This year the festival will run from January 8 through February 22. The EPCOT Festival of the Arts is not only a celebration of just the visual and performing arts. It is also an incredible celebration of the culinary arts. Guests will be able to purchase food and beverage that are almost too pretty to eat (and definitely Instagrammable) at one of over 15 Food Studios that year.  These Food Studios blend colorful ingredients, unique cooking techniques, and imaginative presentations. They truly are edible masterpieces.

This year’s EPCOT Festival of the Arts will not only include new options, but there are also some fan favorites that are returning. (Including my favorite – the Deconstructed BLT.) In addition, a brand new Food Studio will debut called Vibrante & Vívido Food Studio. This new studio will be located between Morocco & France.

Also returning for this year’s EPCOT Festival of the Arts is the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine. This is a fun food stroll that highlights five delicious offerings from the festival. To take part, grab a Festival Passport. Inside, you’ll see which items are included in the “walk.” When you purchase these items, you’ll receive a stamp for your Festival Passport. When you collect all five stamps, you can bring your Festival Passport to the Decadent Delights Food Studio, where you will receive a complimentary Artist Palette Cookie.

Ok….let’s get to the menus, shall we? Here’s what you can grab and where at this year’s EPCOT Festival of the Arts:
