Something super exciting happened in EPCOT today!
EPCOT
We’re not talking about the menu changes we just saw or the changes that happened in the parks this past week. With EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts right around the corner, we spotted what our reporter called a “chef parade” happening in EPCOT today!
While we were walking around EPCOT today, we spotted chefs touring the World Showcase for the upcoming festival!

When we asked what was going on, we were told that the chefs are getting ready for EPCOT’s Festival for the Arts, which starts later this week.
The chefs walking around World Showcase!
The EPCOT Festival of the Arts officially kicks off on January 13th, and we’ll be at the first day of the festival showing you full food booth reviews, the Figment scavenger hunt, the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine, exclusive entertainment, and so much more. Mark your calendars for the 13th so you can follow along with all the fun!
It’s not every day you see this many chefs out and about!
