food IS a theme park
EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts starts in just a few days, can you believe it?
It’s time for Festival of the Arts!
We’re so excited to be at this year’s festival to try all the new eats, experience the entertainment offerings, and of course, check out all the new merchandise! We’re expecting this year’s collection to be extra popular, as anything with Figment usually is. However, if you’re eying these four items, you’ll want to be EXTRA quick.
The EPCOT Festival of the Arts will be here before you know it.
2024 Festival of the Arts
The festival begins on January 17th and runs through February 24th and features a variety of food booths dedicated to the artistry of food, actual artists selling their works, the Disney on Broadway concert series, and even a brand new Disney on Broadway exhibit at Communicore Hall. However, one of the things that most folks get excited about when it comes to the Festival of the Arts is that there’s usually a popcorn bucket devoted to everyone’s favorite purple dragon, Figment. Well, Disney just revealed this year’s Figment popcorn bucket!
The 2024 Festival of the Arts may be over in EPCOT, but it appears that some beloved aspects of it are still hanging around the park.
Figment’s Inspiration Station at the 2024 Festival of the Arts
Remember two years ago when the Figment Popcorn Bucket garnered HOURS long lines, and people resold them online for hundreds of dollars? Well, this year, a new Figment Popcorn Bucket was released for the festival, and Disney was ready for it — in fact, there are even some leftovers you can still grab in the park right now!
There are a lot of changes coming to Disney World this year! We will be able to experience Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and jam out to a new Country Bear Musical Jamboree in Magic Kingdom. As well, the CommuniCore Hall and Plaza is opening up in EPCOT.
We are happy to see these trends go away!
Amidst all these upcoming openings, we are also seeing a few trends making their way out the door.
We could go on for days about our love for Disney merch and souvenirs — specifically popcorn buckets.

These little guys can be quite the hot topic and really cause some chaos so when we realized that Disney’s put out quite the collection of these we really questioned if we were ONLY 2 months into the year! [Read more…]
Popcorn buckets are a pretty popular souvenir in Disney World, and we can’t deny that some of them are just plain epic.
Refillable Popcorn Bucket
Sure, you can just carry a normal cardboard popcorn box around the parks, but if you really want to get into the Disney spirit, popcorn buckets are the way to go. Plus, you get refills for just $2.25 during your vacation (if you love popcorn, that’s a GREAT deal). While we’ve always been somewhat impressed by Disney’s popcorn buckets, we must admit that these recent ones have blown us ALL away.
The party has started, y’all! The 2024 EPCOT Festival of the Arts is officially underway!
EPCOT Festival of the Arts
We’ve been covering the festival LIVE for you so you have all the details on all the food, the entertainment, and — of course — the merchandise. So there’s one souvenir, though, that we’ve ALL been impatiently waiting for. But it’s finally here, a NEW Figment Popcorn Bucket has arrived on the scene!
January 12th is the first day of the 2024 EPCOT Festival of the Arts, which means that the new Figment Popcorn Bucket is officially OUT! If you’re dying to get your hands on one of these, we’ve got all the information you need to know.
2024 Figment Popcorn Bucket
Remember the last time a Figment Popcorn Bucket was released during one of these festivals? Yeah, it was rough. But luckily, this time you won’t have to wait in a six+ hour line to get one! They’re available on Mobile Order, and we’ve already put our order in, so you can too if you’re going to EPCOT today! [Read more…]
Let’s just say 2024 is a BIG year for Disney World. SO MUCH is going on, just in January alone!
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
Okay, so first, we’ll be kissing park pass reservations goodbye (well, most of us will, anyway). We’ll soon be park hopping WHENEVER we feel like it. Plus we’ll be able to get the Disney Dining Plan again. But that’s not the only thing that’s going to happen. Something else BIG is going down on January 12th and you’ll want to have your phone handy for it.
There are few things that draw as much of a crowd as coveted Disney merchandise.
Main Street Cinema
We’ve seen hours-long lines for gift shops in the parks, special edition drinkware that sold out online in minutes, and popcorn buckets that broke the internet. There are some things that Disney fans just have to have! Whether it’s an item that played on their nostalgia or a collection based around their favorite character, these ten souvenirs made Disney fans go crazy!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
