WDW is starting this year with the return of the Festival of the Arts at EPCOT on January 14th. WDW goers can experience wonderful artwork, visit special exhibits and try great food. The festival began in 2017 and continues to deliver a satisfying experience for park visitors. My favorite part is trying samples of the various dishes located in food booths around the park. The sushi doughnut at Goshiki is highly recommended. If you make it to the festival, give it a try.
