What is Coming to the 2019 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts

Earlier this month we announced the dates for the 2019 Epcot International Festival of the Arts. The Festival is scheduled to take place between January 18th through February 25th, that’s 39 days to celebrate and appreciate culinary, visual, and performing arts from all over the globe. You may already know about the dates, but here are some of the exciting events and opportunities coming to the 2019 Epcot International Festival of the Arts.

Guests will be able to sing along to their favorite Disney Broadway tunes that will be showcased during the Disney on Broadway Concert Series. Show times are at 5:30, 6:45, and 8 p.m. daily. Each week will bring different sets of Disney on Broadway stars to the American Gardens Theater stage in the World Showcase at Epcot. The stars will perform various award-winning songs from popular Disney on Broadway productions such as “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Lion King,” and “Frozen.” The lineup will change week to week so guests who return on multiple occasions will have a chance to see a completely different performance from their last visit. The Disney on Broadway stars who will be showcased are:

  • Kevin Massey (“Tarzan”) and Kerry Butler (“Beauty and the Beast”)
  • Steve Blanchard (“Beauty and the Beast”) and Meredith Inglesby (“The Little Mermaid”)
  • Arielle Jacobs and Adam Jacobs (“Aladdin”)
  • Heidi Blickenstaff (“Freaky Friday”) and Gavin Lee (“Mary Poppins”)
  • Josh Strickland (“Tarzan”) and Ashley Brown (“Mary Poppins”)
  • Kissy Simmons and Alton Fitzgerald White (“The Lion King”)

Admission to the concert series is included with park admission, but if you are looking for reserved seating you can book a Disney on Broadway Concert Series Dining Package starting November 8th.
