[Disney4me]

This week, we looked ahead to 2020 with an early peek at the Epcot International Festival of the Arts at Walt Disney World Resort. The event will kick-off its annual global celebration of visual, culinary and performing arts Jan. 17 and continue for 39 days through Feb. 24, 2020.

As many of you know, the event features visiting artists, an array of foodie delights and opportunities for guests to embrace their own inner artists. Check out Jenn’s new Epcot International Festival of the Arts story for more details, including information on the return of the popular Disney on Broadway Concert Series.

And we followed up last week’s series of amazing holiday Foodie Guides at Disney Parks with a special Candy Guide to 2019 Holidays at Disneyland Resort.

Our talented team of candymakers have once again outdone themselves with this year’s festive holiday sweet and treats. And they’re all available now through Jan. 6, 2020. Visit Alex’s original Candy Guide story for the complete list.
