food IS a theme park
It’s safe to say that Disney Adults are OBSESSED with this popular souvenir!
FIGMENT!!!!!!
It’s hard to deny that Disney pins are all the rage these days! Often sold in a limited capacity (making them more valuable), these pins can garner HUGE lines and tons of demand. We’re especially fond of seasonal pins, like the ones offered for the 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. In fact, there are some Figment pins that any collector needs to grab!
When we head into Disney World, we go in thinking that the longest line we’ll wait in that day is probably for one of the park’s most popular rides. That’s especially true in EPCOT, because multiple rides in the park can get some LONG lines.
Rope Drop Crowds
However, yesterday was opening day for one of EPCOT’s most POPULAR festivals, Festival of the Arts, and while we were expecting things to be crowded, we didn’t think they’d be THIS intense. If you’re heading to the festival opening weekend (especially since Monday is a holiday), you’ve gotta pack your patience when it comes to waiting in line for your food.
It’s finally time for the 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, and we are PUMPED. We’re hitting up all the Food Studios around the park to bring you a list of what you absolutely must try at this year’s festival!

EPCOT Festival of the Arts!
EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays is about to wrap up on December 30th, and it’s been an excellent experience so far. With that said, we all know that when one EPCOT festival ends, another is getting ready to take over. Such is the case with the upcoming 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, which is set to totally transform this Disney World theme park.
