It’s the 3rd Annual International Festival of the Arts! It was my first year to attend and I have to admit that this festival did not disappoint. Honestly, I think that it might be my favorite… or at least it is today! The festival is the perfect place to explore everything artistic. I saw beautiful pieces of art, got to hear beautiful music from Broadway performers, and got to smell and taste amazing dishes, all with an artistic flair. This festival is a sensory overload but in the best way possible. But words can not describe it well enough so I here are my photos from the festival!

The art experiences and seminars were my personal favorites of Epcot’s International Arts Festival this year. I picked up some artwork by one of my favorite artists and discovered some new favorites too. I was able to get a print signed by Heather Theurer and I got to watch Trevor Carlton create a Vintage Minnie art piece live. In addition, I got to join in on the seminar called “Eat Like Walt,” presented by Marcy Smothers who is the author of the book with the same title. It was a great experience to listen about Walt Disney’s eating habits!
