Just Announced: 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Arts Dates

Hey Disney Vacationers! Walt Disney World just dropped the news: the 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts date and it will kick off on January 17, 2025, and run through February 24, 2025. That’s right, folks—the 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Arts dates give you over a month to soak in all the creativity, delicious eats, and top-notch entertainment this festival has to offer.

What’s New for the 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Arts?

This year’s festival will run a full week longer than in 2024. In 2024, the festival wrapped up on President’s Day weekend, but this time, it extends through the following weekend, overlapping with the runDisney Princess Half Marathon weekend. So, if you’re a Disney fan with a love for the arts and a passion for running, this could be the perfect time to plan your trip.

Why Visit the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts?

The EPCOT Festival of the Arts might be the shortest festival on EPCOT’s calendar, but don’t let that fool you. It’s packed with some of the best experiences you’ll find at Walt Disney World. Here’s what makes this festival a must-see:

• Visual Art: Stroll through EPCOT and take in a diverse array of artwork. Artists from around the world come together to showcase their talents at kiosks throughout the park. Whether you’re an art collector or just someone who appreciates beautiful pieces, you’re bound to find something that catches your eye.
• Culinary Art: The food here is more than just sustenance—it’s art on a plate. Every year, the Food Studios roll out new dishes that are as beautiful as they are tasty. You’ll find everything from picture-perfect pastries to creatively crafted cocktails. Keep an eye out for the Food Studio announcements later this fall!
• Performing Arts: Music lovers, rejoice! The Disney on Broadway Concert Series is a highlight of the festival, bringing Broadway stars to the American Gardens Theater to belt out beloved Disney tunes. It’s a great way to take a break, grab a snack, and soak in some live music between admiring the art and savoring the food.

What to Expect at the Festival

While the EPCOT Festival of the Arts dates are the highlight, the experience goes way beyond just timing. The January-to-February window typically offers some of Florida’s best weather, with cooler temps making it comfortable to explore the festival offerings. And with the extended schedule this year, you’ve got even more chances to plan your visit around your favorite events.

More Details Coming Soon

Walt Disney World promises to share more about the 2025 festival lineup—including the full Food Studios menu, entertainment schedule, and a list of participating artists—this fall. Keep your eyes peeled for those updates so you can plan your visit down to the last detail!

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
