Walt Disney World's Festival of the Arts is back, and it's got a star-studded lineup of new and familiar faces!
Since 2017, Disney has celebrated held the Festival of the Arts at the beginning of each year in Walt Disney Worlds EPCOT park, mirroring EPCOT's mission of cultural exchange by presenting just how many artistic disciplines can thrive together under the Disney umbrella. From animation classes with Disney artists to a massive group paint-by-numbers mural to exclusively curated culinary delights in the different country pavilions, every day of the festival has something new and enriching on offer.
Throughout the festival, Disney on Broadway has a robust presence, with a highly attended concert series. The 2026 performances will include concerts led by Isabelle McCalla (Aladdin) and Adam Jacobs (Aladdin), Sierra Boggess (The Little Mermaid) and Michael James Scott (Aladdin), Anastacia McCleskey (Tarzan) and Josh Strickland (Tarzan), Mandy Gonzalez (Aida) and Kissy Simmons (The Lion King), Ainsley Melham (Aladdin) and Ashley Brown (Mary Poppins), and Susan Egan (Beauty and The Beast) and James Monroe Iglehart (Aladdin), along with an additional concert featuring Brown, Melham, Egan, and Iglehart.
Also present at the year's festival will be the second annual Once Upon A Stage: The Magic of Disney on Broadway exhibition, bringing fans behind the curtain at CommuniCore Hall in EPCOT with everything from authentic props and costumes to intricate photo-ops and behind-the-scenes insights into Disney's presence on Broadway.
