food IS a theme park
Figment fans are going to be running to EPCOT to get a brand-new souvenir…but is it worth it?
Figment Bubble Machine
A new bubble machine has just landed at EPCOT, and it comes in the form of the beloved purple dragon who’s all about imagination!
The EPCOT Festival of the Arts is my favorite festival at EPCOT, and I wait all year round to check out the different art booths, entertainment, and food. You definitely can’t forget about the merchandise, too.

My best friend is a Figment lover, so last year, I was waiting in line at Creations for the moment it opened so I could secure the Figment goods for her when she couldn’t go. While Figment is represented in many of the EPCOT festivals, he basically runs Festival of the Arts. Disney just dropped a new look at the Figgy souvenirs, and yikes, our wallets are in trouble.
Who’s ready for the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts? If you’re anything like us, you might be preparing for the first festival of 2022 by making space on your wall for some new art or saving some money for all those delicious new foods you can’t wait to try!

While you’re in preparation mode, you might want to consider a plan of attack for when it comes time to visit EPCOT. That’s right, it even takes a little planning just to visit the Festival of the Arts! There’s one festival food booth that you might want to visit first. Here’s why!

One Little Spark!
Let’s take a journey into imagination with these Figment inspired kicks that you can make yourself! Because as you know from our friend Figment, “One little spark, of inspiration. Is at the heart, of all creation.”
The 2016 Epcot Food and Wine Festival is officially underway!
We spent the better part of last week taking a look at all there is going on this year, and shared with you our Best of the Fest so far. And we aren’t finished yet!
We’ll be sharing our reviews of Marketplace Booths as well as impressions of some of the Special Events taking place throughout the Festival.
And speaking of special events, many of them take place in Festival Center, which serves as the headquarters for the Epcot Food and Wine Festival. But there’s more to the space than just stages for Culinary Demos and Beverage Seminars.
We are eager to share with you all that the Festival Center offers this year. Let’s head in and take a tour of the space. Along the way, I’ll also share with you some merchandise we spotted for 2016.
You’ll find the Festival Center located to the left as you enter Epcot and pass beneath Spaceship Earth. Head toward the old Wonders of Life Pavilion in Future World East, and you’ll be going in the right direction.
Entrance
Enter and head left or right down the easily accessible ramp, and you’ll come to the Information Desk. This is your first stop if you have questions, but it’s also where you’ll pick up tickets for events taking place in Festival Center. These include Culinary Demos, Beverage Seminars, and several other special events. [Read more…]
Sure, Eating and Drinking Around the World is a MUST DO at the 2015 Epcot Food and Wine Festival. But don’t forget to save time for the shopping too!
Of course, there’s a TON of Festival Merch available this year — just like always.
But I mostly wanted to share with you the really special stuff that’s available to mark this year’s milestone 20th Anniversary.
Let’s take a look!
Whether you’d like to wear your souvenir or eat and drink off of it, you’ll find just the right piece to take home with you.
Grey, long-sleeved T-Shirts bear the main logo of the 2015 20th Anniversary Festival.
