We’re back in EPCOT for another day of fun at the Festival of the Arts!

And, as we hop around the area for plenty of eats, entertainment, and more, we’re taking you with us during our full day in the park! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s kick off our time spent in EPCOT!
When we first entered the park, we stopped by the Paint by Number Mural at the entrance of Future World. After we picked up our paint and brush to help participate in the interactive art installment…


…we admired the progress towards Disney’s take on Van Gogh’s Starry Night with a bit of an EPCOT twist on the finished product!

Take a look at all the details about the interactive Paint by Number mural here!
As we walked past the courtyard, we noticed that Joy was especially loving the Florida sunshine and colorful palette of the Festival of the Arts! She decided to use a vibrant pinwheel…

…which matched Molly’s Rainbow Minnie Ears!

Of course, we had to hop over to some of the rides in EPCOT. Things were looking a little weird over at the Gran Fiesta Tour since Donald had disappeared with a PLANT as his replacement.

The ride tried to cover up the missing member of the Three Caballeros with a sombrero placed on the plant, which definitely gave us a few giggles!

Although we’ve been keeping up with all the chalk characters hidden throughout EPCOT, we found a few new ones today during our walk around the park! Over at the Refreshment Outpost, we found the Lion King Hyenas…

…and Mushu and Cri-Kee on the lagoon side of the China Pavilion!

Take a look at all the hidden characters you can find around EPCOT!
While you’re in the World Showcase, you can make your way over to the America Gardens Theatre for three forms of entertainment that we got to experience today! The first thing we did was stop by for the returning Animation Academy classes, where Disney gives guests drawing supplies…

…as they follow along with an artist projecting his tutorial on the back wall.

Today, we drew Goofy (and we think he looks mighty adorable)!

Check out our experience at the returning Animation Academy classes!
Later in the day, we listened to the Mariachi Cobre…

…and the Voices of Liberty belted Disney hits onstage!

Plus, since the Festival of Arts is all about the food booths too, we decided to drink our way around the World with sips like the Popping Bubbles Cocktail at Pop Eats!

Plus the Cold Fashioned Coffee Cocktail at Festival Favorites in World Showplace!

Plus this Sipping Chocolate from the Artist’s Table at American Adventure! This includes sip-pable white, dark, and milk chocolate.

And, of course, we had to grab some eats, including the Sichuan Red Hot Shrimp from the Painted Panda in the China Pavilion.

Plus the Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup from Pop Eats.

And the Warm Brown Sugar Pretzel with Banana Soft-Serve from Refreshment Outpost!

As we continue to make our way around EPCOT, we’ll be sure to give you a look at everything we find in the parks soon!

Hi Molly,
I had to call my husband over to the computer to see your Van Gogh painting because he had just finished a 1000 piece puzzle of the Starry Night. He loves doing puzzles but this one with all the blues was a challenge.
He is a retired high school art teacher and he was impressed with your Goofy drawing. Nice work today!
