2022 EPCOT Festival of Arts

First Visit to EPCOT's -Festival of the Arts

by Marietsy Febuary 2022

This was an enjoyable experience even though I was surprised at the number of people were actually there during the week. The question one asks the group before entering the world showcase are we starting in Mexico or Canada. Mexico is where the party. There is a boat ride, nice scenery and great hiding spot when its raining, plus the Cava bar that sometimes has a longer line than the boat ride. Then there is Canada where its a more mild and relaxing spot to slowly start your day.

Everywhere you look on the way to your choice are beautiful photo opportunities and activities, such as the entrance photo with EPCOT's icon "the ball" that houses Spaceship Earth. Along both sides of spaceship earth there are murals where park visitors can participate in painting, and such a great activity to do as a family.

EPCOT also has various locations where you can take a picture within a work of art. You can cross the Delaware with President Washington, be a mermaid in a book or even be Freda.

A fun activity for all ages especially for adults after a few to many drinks around the world is playing the figment game. Goal to have fun looking for figment inside well known recreated paintings. Its figments version of where's Waldo.

The artistry and color with the food was amazing. I even think a little better than the food and wine festival. The encanto booth very vibrant but no arepa's like in the movie. The United States pavilion loved the scallops went back for them 2 days in a row. I dont though recommend the milk tasting flight it was very thick like they used condensed milk and would have been great if they included a churro to dip in them. The donut box loved it, especially the one on the food challenge game that is in the back of your festival booklets. FYI - these booklets are free to get and are usually available at each food stand.

Overall loved my first visit, there is so much to say but you have to experience yourself.
