Festival of the Arts Food for the 2022 Season in EPCOT

The Festival of the Arts at EPCOT has officially begun! It runs from January 14th to February 21st.

Every EPCOT festival has a unique term for the temporary kiosks where they serve their festival-related food and drink.

In this case, they call them food studios, but these are not the only places where you can get great Festival of the Arts food in EPCOT this season.

Just like the Flower and Garden Festival and the Food and Wine Festival, the Festival of the Arts does not disappoint.

It's so exciting to see the activities and Broadway concert series returning along with the Festival of the Arts food.

You can get your tickets to EPCOT right here. 

So here is a quick overview of all the culinary offerings you can expect at this year's event.

Where to Start

I was informed by my son that there is a certain way to "eat around the world at EPCOT". And apparently, I've been doing it all wrong, just like many others.

You are supposed to start in Mexico and end in Canada. I of course asked the question that many want to know the answer to...Why?

Well, it's because when you do the "Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine" you need to end at Deco Delights in order to get your complimentary culinary treats. And that just happens to be right past Canada! Who knew?  

Don't forget to stop and purchase your Figment's Brush with the Masters Scavenger Hunt map. Available for $9.99 plus tax at the gift shops.

The wind was so strong that we almost lost a couple of the plates. No kidding!

The New Craftsman's Courtyard (located near Disney Traders)

One of Disney's favorite recurring themes is the Arts and Crafts Movement in California. It served as the inspiration for the Grand Californian Hotel and now, this brand new California Seafood-inspired Festival location.

If I had to pick just one, it would be the first one, all chocolate! I would go back just for this! They were rich in flavor, and the bottom of the drinks were warm and so tasty.

Deconstructed Dish (Near Port of Entry)

Last stop on the list before the free Colorful Cuisine items is the Deconstructed Dish. We were looking forward to this stop as it had the Deconstructed French Onion soup and the deconstructed Key Lime Pie.

So we were a tad disappointed when we stood in line for a very long time only to find out they were out of the key lime pie. 🙁

We did get a few items though. This stand by far made the food look like an art. Everything was precisely placed and was perfect. Almost too pretty to eat. Notice that I said almost! 😉

Other arts and culture-inspired dishes come from food studios all around the World Showcase.

Among the countries represented in the Festival of the Arts, food is America, Mexico, Japan, Canada, France, Italy, China, and Germany.

Other Festival of the Arts Food Studios

Of course, there are plenty of other art-inspired dishes to discover in other areas of EPCOT. Many of them offer decadent sweet treats.

Deco Delights for example has a variety of mousses. 

Then, of course, there are the old standbys the Deconstructed Dish and Pop Eats.

I was a little disappointed as I was looking forward to the Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup from Pop Eats (Near Traveler's Cafe). However, because of the line for the Figment Popcorn Bucket, which was several hours, there was no way to get it. 

Both of which have taken up residence near the Port of Entry.

*Also called the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine which includes items from Gourmet Landscapes (Canada), The Artist's Table (The American Adventure), Vibrante & Vivido: Encanto Cocina (Near Morocco), The Deconstructed Dish (near Port of Entry), and of course The Donut Box.

Each selection features a color of the rainbow and after completing your stroll you earn an artist's palette Cookie and a Berry Slush.
