Epcots Festival of the Arts

Hidden Gem Alert: 🎨✨ EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is packed with headline moments—but these three “blink-and-you’ll-miss-it” experiences are the real insider wins (and they’re perfect for content).

1) Chalk Full of Characters Look for charming chalk drawings of Disney characters tucked around World Showcase—some are in unexpected corners and make for the cutest photo stops.

2) Expression Section: Paint-by-Number Mural Jump in and paint a small section of a giant community mural—then come back later to see the finished masterpiece. It’s one of the most “I didn’t know you could DO that!” moments of the festival.

3) Once Upon A Stage: The Magic of Disney on Broadway (CommuniCore Hall) Step inside for authentic props/costumes + behind-the-scenes details from Disney on Broadway productions. It’s a quieter, air-conditioned gem that a lot of guests walk right past.
