Disney is preparing for the 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts with festival signs now greeting guests around the park.
Festival of the Arts Signs
The entrance sign is in a flowerbed facing the front entrance of the park. It’s adorned with a Figment figure holding a paint can and brush. Behind him is a rainbow. Two giant paint cans and a tube of magenta paint are to the sides.
Similar signage is in the flowerbed at the World Showcase entrance. There are multiple rainbows, paint tubes, and paint cans around the sign. Figment sits on top of a rainbow.
Expression Section
Expression Section: A Paint by Number Mural will be in front of the playground, which hasn’t had all its holiday theming removed yet. Black walls for the painting project are up.
Expression Section will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will be a station for guests to pick up paint and a sponge brush so they can add to the mural.
Food Studios
Food booths are starting to be prepared for the festival with signs. Craftsman’s Courtyard is located near the Imagination! pavilion. Most of the booth signs have a “Coming Soon” banner in the corner.
Closer to World Showcase is Pop Eats! This is where guests can usually get grilled cheese and tomato soup. Menus haven’t been released yet.
Deco Delights is near the World Showcase entrance. It features Art Deco decals. Guests will pick up their Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine prizes here.
This booth is Fictional Victuals. It features Cheshire Cat detailing on its awning.
The Mexico booth is El Artista Hambriento.
Decals and signs have been added to the Odyssey pavilion, which becomes Figment’s Inspiration Station for the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. Signs for the location are now above each door and decals of Figment painting a rainbow are on the windows.
The rainbows continue across the windows facing the water. “Figment’s Inspiration Station” is on the central windows.
In World Discovery, The Deconstructed Dish now has signage.
Moving into World Showcase, guests will be able to dine at the Painted Panda in the China pavilion.
