Festival of Arts 2023

From the Disney link up thread:
Expression Section: A Paint by Number Mural

Sounds like we are in luck! I'd hate to admit as anywhere other than the Dis how happy this makes me.

Me too! I was at the Festival of the Arts 2 days and did this 4 times.

No doubt-it is so cool to watch the progress from one day to the next.

Anyone else anxiously awaiting any news? I really want to hear about the Broadway concert schedule!

Same…that and the wonderground gallery artist schedule/art reveals

We were originally flying in on the 21st but the Art Festival ends early this year... so we moved our flights back to the 20th, just for this. My teenagers really enjoy seeing all the art booths and picking out something to bring home. The year we caught Don "Ducky" Williams and got an autographed print was the best! Oh and the snack booths are great. Not F&W Festival amazing but still yummy!

You might want to go back and edit your line spacing. The way this is currently formatted appears to group the performers with the wrong dates.

Also, looks like it's an easy choice for me as to which day to go this year. We want to see Michael James Scott because he looked right at DH and smiled at the Orlando Pride parade this year. Of the 7 days he's performing (not counting the foursome day), only one falls on one of my regular days off work. Now, to decide whether to splurge for a dining package.

Done. Copy and paste and not copy and paste as plain text!

Booked the 20th for Kara & Kevin as an endcap to my wish cruise

May end up taking off one of the days Patti & Robert are there but that’s dependent on what the wonderground gallery artist schedules look like if they will be there again

I'm waiting to see if the "Paint by Number" mural is coming back

Does anyone know if there’s somewhere where we can see pics of the completed piece? We did ours last year when there were barely any squares painted and I’d love to see it was it was really completed.

 

[Pepermintpooh]

I may be mistaken but I’ve always been under the impression that the paint by numbers mural is completed and reset fresh every day. Can anyone ITK confirm or deny ?

 

[Araminta18]

It gets reset every time it gets completed, which usually takes between 2 and 4 days.

 

[WEDWDW]

It gets reset every time it gets completed, which usually takes between 2 and 4 days.

And there are little "pictures" of what it will look like what completed available for Guests to take with them.

I don’t know what year those switched from postcards to bookmarks but I think I like the latter more

How do you purchase the Festival of arts food package?

What's the "Festival of the Arts food package"? This year I did whatever it was where you buy a certain 5 things, get stamped for each one, then get a cookie (plus a smoothie as a surprise). There was no special cost, at least none that I know of.

I think they are referring to reserved dining packages…check the article where they announced the lineup of performances I think it gave the site or they offer limited amounts of QS packages at Regal Eagle

They're not for sale until Dec 13th. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/epcot/broadway-concert-series-dining-package/

Yes, they are replaced very often (I've seen them finished in one day on particularly busy Saturdays).

 

[BorderTenny]

Reminder that the Disney on Broadway dining packages drop tomorrow. I'm leaning toward splurging on Le Cellier. It may look pricey, but it seems to be the easiest to get the most value vs. regular pricing.
