It's opening day of Festival of the Arts 2025 and we're taking you along! We are catching some of the fantastic live performances like Nicholas Marks, visiting the Once Upon a Stage Disney on Broadway Exhibit, painting the giant paint by number wall, and of course trying some colorful and flavorful cuisine. This is one of our favorite festivals for many reasons and we are so excited to share it with you.

Epcot Extended Evening Hours are a bonus 2 hours that guests staying at Disney Deluxe resorts get to have in the park AFTER the park closes. This happens on select nights and select attractions may be open. We definitely were not having great luck this night! There were a total of 6 attractions available for the evening, but several of the rides kept going down which threw off our plans. BUT it wasn't all bad, and we are sharing some tips to make sure that YOU have a more successful night than we did!

We are sharing our best tips for MAXIMIZING your day at Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. We of course are going to try some yummy food and give you our reviews, but we are also going to show you the best way to spend the day if you ONLY have one day to spend at this park. We're riding the rides, exploring World Showcase, meeting a few characters, and enjoying all the festival offerings in between. We're even going to show you our FAVORITE way to ride Guardians of the Galaxy without the long wait. (and no, we don't mean paying money for Lightning Lane either!)
