Celebrate Creativity at the 2025 Festival of the Arts at Walt Disney World Resort


The 2025 Festival of the Arts at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, is a vibrant celebration of creativity, art, and culinary delights. Held from January 17 to February 24, 2025, this festival offers a unique blend of artistic displays, interactive activities, and mouth-watering food options.

Beautiful Art Displays

The festival features a wide array of art displays, including stunning chalk art that transforms the park into a living canvas. You'll find charming chalk drawings of beloved Disney characters around the World Showcase, from Abu to Jiminy Cricket. You'll even find opportunities to put yourself into the art throughout the park for fun photo ops!

The festival is a great place to find unique art pieces and souvenirs to bring home. From limited edition prints by artists like Dave Avanzino to vibrant companion pieces inspired by Disney characters, there's something for every art lover.

Interactive Activities

Learn to draw a Disney character or embark on a scavenger hunt featuring Figment, where guests can search for Figment-themed picture frames hidden around the World Showcase. Even character meet and greets are elevated by their own displays of art. One of the highlights is the paint-by-number mural located on the walkway between World Showcase and the Imagination! Pavilion. Visitors can pick up a brush and paint a few squares of the massive mural, contributing to a beautiful scene that evolves throughout the festival. Be prepared for a short wait, as this popular activity often has a line.

Culinary Delights

Foodies will delight in the festival's culinary offerings. A standout is the Pop Eats grilled cheese and tomato soup, a comforting and delicious option that's perfect for a chilly evening. However, the brie in a bread bowl from France was a bit underwhelming, lacking the rich flavor expected from such a classic dish.

Ideal Florida Weather

Orlando's weather during the festival is perfect for enjoying outdoor activities. With mild temperatures averaging in the high 70s to low 80s Fahrenheit (25-28°C) and plenty of sunshine, visitors can explore the festival comfortably.

Other Highlights

The festival also includes live performances from Disney on Broadway, showcasing the talents of Broadway stars like Patti Murin and John Riddle with three shows each evening in the America Gardens Theater. 

Whether you're an art enthusiast, a food lover, or just looking for a fun way to spend a day, the 2025 Festival of the Arts at Walt Disney World Resort is an event not to be missed!

Cruising with a Baby: A Complete Guide

You took a baby on a cruise!? Yep, and I'd do it again knowing what I know now. So, say goodbye to months of research - Everything you need to know is here!! One of the biggest challenges of traveling with a baby is planning what you need to bring. I wanted to share what worked for us, and hopefully help others who are planning their cruise! Remember, babies can only cruise after their 6-month birthday on sailings from the U.S. If you are going transatlantic, or have more than three days out at sea, they must be 12 months old by the first day of your cruise. Pre-Cruise   We flew to the cruise port, and I couldn’t bring all the food and snacks I needed, so I placed an Instacart order for pick up near the port. I chose Publix in Cocoa Beach which is a few miles from Port Canaveral. I placed the order a few days before we left home, and set the pickup time to 11:00 a.m. I ordered formula, a box of diapers, swim diapers, bottle brush, dish soap, baby food, and baby snacks. I also broug...

The Villas at the Disneyland Hotel Review

I love staying at the Disneyland Hotel so when I got the opportunity to stay at the new Villas at the Disneyland Hotel during opening weekend, I couldn’t pass it up. Because it was opening weekend, we were greeted in the entrance way of the lobby with balloons and many photo opportunities. When we arrived, there was a mural of the Haunted Mansion. I love how the seats in the main lobby were designed like the teacups in the parks. You can check in using the Disneyland app, drop your bags with bell services and head into the parks or use the amenities why you wait until your room is ready. When your room is ready, the resort will send you a text and you can use the Disneyland app on your mobile device to unlock the room. We dropped off our bags and went straight to the parks. We received a text around 1PM that our room was ready. In the new Discovery Tower (the Villas), you'll find that the lobby is very spacious with many places to sit while you read or wait for your family. Th...

Universal's Volcano Bay Private Cabana Review

On a recent training in Universal Orlando Resort, the agents rented a private cabana for the day at Universal's Volcano Bay. There are multiple locations around the park along with the option to have an upper or lower level, all of which reflect in various pricing. We received an email the day before informing her of where to check-in the next morning. While we were personally escorted to the cabana shortly after check in, the line at the check in location is the same as those getting towels, meaning it was not short. As expressed by an additional guest checking into a different cabana, we would have greatly appreciated a separate line, since this caused our group about a half hour wait. We're all adults and made great use of our time getting some fun pictures before the park was filled with guests, but this is important to be aware of if you are traveling with children.  We had an upper level Cabana which came with a splendid view! We arrived to a welcome basket of various fr...
