Is your family ready for a fresh start in 2021?
They can grab a paintbrush and indulge their artistic side (and their palate … and maybe their palette) with an inspiring visit to the Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, running Jan. 8 – Feb. 22, 2021, at Walt Disney World Resort.
This global celebration mixes visual, culinary, and performing arts from around the world into an entertaining blend that’s fun for the entire family.
More than 100 Disney and visiting artists will display their work, and your family can show off their own talents by participating in interactive experiences such as a larger-than-life paint-by-number mural or learning to draw some of their favorite Disney characters. Guests can also step into famous works of art, thanks to artful photo ops.
Your family can also discover dishes to feast on with delicious Disney twists and art-inspired menus. And, of course, no visit is complete without finding the perfect piece of artwork or Festival merchandise to bring home.
