It was a fun run, but this was the final weekend for the first annual Epcot Festival of the Arts, (see our review and full coverage here.) In just a little over a week we’ll be jumping right into Epcot’s next big event, the Flower & Garden Festival! Gardens, topiaries and many food booths are already starting to show up all around Future World and World Showcase. Plus, a couple children’s playgrounds are being constructed as well. Flower & Garden starts March 1, 2017, see our previous article for complete food menus and event information.
Also going on in the park, you can now purchase prints of all of the fantastic paintings featuring Figment from the “Brush with the Masters” scavenger hunt at the arts festival. Prints can be ordered through the Disney Art of Animation On Demand kiosks at Epcot and Disney Springs. You can choose an optional frame and your artwork is delivered to your home within a couple weeks. And finally, we check in on the construction of Choza Tequila, the new food stand opening soon at Mexico in World Showcase. Once open, you’ll be able to get hand-crafted margaritas and classic Mexican cuisine like tacos, empanadas, chips and fresh guacamole. Check out the video and photo report below and stay tuned for more theme park updates!
