What the festival is
Festival of the Arts is EPCOT's celebration of visual, performing and culinary arts. It adds art installations, interactive photo spots, paint-by-number murals, chalk art galleries and working artists to a regular EPCOT day, alongside Food Studios whose dishes are plated as art.
DISNEY ON BROADWAY and guaranteed seating
During the DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series, Broadway performers sing the songs they made famous on stage at America Gardens Theatre in the American Adventure pavilion. The concerts run several times each evening and the performers change every two weeks, so two visits can be two different shows.
Seating at the concerts is first-come, first-served with EPCOT admission. For a guaranteed seat, Disney sells DISNEY ON BROADWAY dining packages that pair a meal at a select EPCOT restaurant with a same-day concert. Restaurants, prices and on-sale timing are published by Disney per season — check the package page rather than last year's lists.
Planning dining and crowds around the festival
A dining package and a regular table are different reservations. For a regular table, our dining reservation calculator shows when Disney opens booking for your date. For crowds, our EPCOT crowd calendar scores each day from wait-time observations we collect every 1–5 minutes, so you can compare weekend and weekday festival days from measurements.
Compare festival days with measured EPCOT crowd data
Our EPCOT crowd calendar publishes a measured crowd level for every day, updated daily from the posted waits we record every 1–5 minutes — useful for choosing between festival weekends and weekdays once the season's dates are set.
Watch the DISNEY ON BROADWAY dining package
Guaranteed DISNEY ON BROADWAY seating only comes with a dining package. Mickey Alerts watches the package and texts you when one shows as available for your date — you complete the booking with Disney, and an alert never guarantees a package.
FAQ: EPCOT Festival of the Arts
When is EPCOT Festival of the Arts?
Disney lists the 2027 Festival of the Arts as January 15 through March 1, 2027 (checked 2026-09-16).
How do I get guaranteed seats for DISNEY ON BROADWAY?
Book a DISNEY ON BROADWAY dining package, which pairs a meal at a select EPCOT restaurant with a guaranteed seat at a same-day concert. Without a package, seating is first-come, first-served with EPCOT admission. Disney publishes each season's package restaurants and prices separately, so check its package page rather than a past season's list.
Does Mickey Alerts book the dining package for me?
No. Dining packages are alert-only: we text you when a package shows as available for your date and you complete the purchase with Disney. An alert never guarantees a package.
