Disney Springs is one of our favorite places to visit for SO many reasons!
Exquisite table-service meals, scrumptious quick-service spots, and oh yeah — a TON of shopping and entertainment. No two trips to Disney Springs are alike, and if you’re heading there soon (or are looking for a reason to go) we’ve got great news! A special art showcase event is happening at The Art of Disney and we’ve got all the details!
There are so many ways to bring a little bit of your love of Disney into your home.
You can decorate with Disney home decor, kitchen supplies, or merch items you grab from the parks and place on a shelf to cherish for all time! Disney artwork is another lovely way to bring Disney magic into your home, and if you’re a collector of expensive artwork (key word: expensive), you won’t want to miss the beautiful pieces that just dropped online!
Welcome to a brand new week with a whole lot of Disney food news! Let’s recap of the news covered right here on the Disney Food Blog, just in case you missed it:

I’ve been excited about this interview for a few months, and I know that Disney foodies, historians, art-lovers, and fans of all types are going to love it.
Tim Rogerson is a Disney artist and the creator of the official artwork for both the Epcot Food & Wine Festival and Disney’s D23 Expo. You’ve seen him on the Disney Food Blog before, back in September, when I was reporting from the F&W Festival. I wanted to write a full post about his work, but figured you’d rather hear it directly from him, if possible!
Introducing…Tim Rogerson!
I think this is one of the best ways to introduce Tim — a super-speed video of him painting the official D23 artwork from the 2009 Expo (very cool music, by the way…):
Tim has been a Disney fan since birth — his father was an Entertainment Director at Walt Disney World and an avid Disney collector. After studying at the Ringling School of Art & Design, Tim worked with Disney, Universal Studios, and Warner Bros. His many honors include being named Official Artist of the 2006 Winter Olympics, Official Artist of the Disney D23 Expo, and Official Artist of the Epcot Food & Wine Festival in 2009 and 2010. You can find his work at galleries all around the world, and purchase it through Collectors Editions and Disney Fine Art.
In His Own Words
In the interview, we discussed Tim’s artistic inspiration, his work for Disney, and what’s coming down the pike (including the official artwork for the 2010 Food & Wine Festival!). You can scroll down to the end of the post to find out [Read more…]
