food IS a theme park
If there’s one thing we love about Disney, it’s all of the subcultures that come along with the brand.
Disney Pins!
We all love Disney, but some of us have favorite aspects of the parks, like obsessing over the snacks, meeting characters, and even pin trading! Pin Trading is easily one of the most popular subcultures, and weekly pin drops are how we keep the obsession at an all-time high. This week, we found 4 new pins that we think fans are going to love!
It’s safe to say that Disney Adults are OBSESSED with this popular souvenir!
FIGMENT!!!!!!
It’s hard to deny that Disney pins are all the rage these days! Often sold in a limited capacity (making them more valuable), these pins can garner HUGE lines and tons of demand. We’re especially fond of seasonal pins, like the ones offered for the 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. In fact, there are some Figment pins that any collector needs to grab!
Festival of the Arts has officially arrived in EPCOT, and we couldn’t be more thrilled!
Look for Figment!
There are so many delicious offerings to try at the food booths, so much entertainment to check out, but did you know you can take part in a scavenger hunt to find Figment all around World Showcase? It’ll cost you $12, but yes, Figment’s Brush with the Masters is back this year, and we still think it’s a great offering for families experiencing the festival!
The 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts has officially started! We are here for the opening day of EPCOT‘s first festival of the year, and we are bringing you all along with us to experience everything. One of our first stops of the day was to snag the brand-new Figment Popcorn Bucket! We can’t get over how ADORABLE he is!!
Look at him!!
It is no secret that we are huge Figment fans here at DFB, so the moment Disney released a sneak peek at the festival-exclusive popcorn bucket, we knew we needed to grab one!
It’s officially that time of year again — the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts has returned! We’re on the ground bringing you a fresh look at everything to see, do, and (most importantly) eat at this year’s festival.

But of course, the festival fun doesn’t stop with food and entertainment — merchandise is a big part of the experience, too. From wearable art to festival-exclusive souvenirs, we’re taking a look at what you’ll find at the 2026 EPCOT Festival of the Arts.
Big Figment news!!! A brand-new Figment popcorn bucket is coming to the 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. The beloved purple dragon returns to the festival-exclusive popcorn bucket once again, and it is SO cute!

The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts kicks off tomorrow, January 16th, and runs through February 23rd, 2026. The festival celebrates three artistic disciplines: the Culinary, Visual, and Performing Arts, and features Food Studios, artist showcases, live entertainment, interactive art activities, and so much more.
There is one sign that marks the start of the holiday season for me at Disney World, and it’s when I see a silly little purple dragon wearing his blue Christmas sweater. It’s one of those things that only makes sense to Disney Adults, but if you know, you know.
FIGMENT!!!!!!
Unfortunately, if his sweater marks the start, it can also mark the end. Come along as we say our official goodbyes for the Figment Christmas sweater.
We’ve been getting no shortage of Figment merchandise thanks to Festival of the Holidays merchandise (and Festival of the Arts merchandise is just around the corner, which we have a strong feeling will star him too!), but you can never have too much, right?
We love anything Figment!
We stepped into EPCOT the other day and noticed that there was a NEW piece of Figment merch that we just KNOW is going to sell out like wildfire. It combines two of our favorite things — Figment and Squishmallows!
Get your paintbrushes ready — Disney World has just confirmed one of EPCOT’s most colorful celebrations is officially returning!
Breaking news!
EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts is set to brighten the park once again in early 2026, bringing with it a vibrant blend of creativity, flavor, and imagination. From stunning visual art to interactive experiences and fan-favorite entertainment, this festival transforms EPCOT into a playground for artists and dreamers alike — making its return one of the most exciting announcements going into the new year.
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.
