We got some BIG news from Disney about 2027!
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts
Disney World revealed some major dates for next year, including announcing the dates for Festival of the Arts and the Flower & Garden Festival at EPCOT and dropping new discounts! But one big thing that we noticed from this reveal is that DISNEY HAS LISTENED TO US.
What does that mean? Well, for 2027, Disney has made the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts longer! It will run from January 15th through March 1st. Typically, this festival only lasts about five to six weeks and ends in mid- or late-February.
Festival of the Arts
For years, fans have been begging Disney to make this festival longer! It’s usually the second-shortest festival of the year (the Festival of the Holidays only lasts about a month), and many folks have felt in the past that it’s just not enough time to enjoy all that the fest has to offer.
Chalk art during the Festival of the Arts
Festival of the Arts is known for incredible art displays, interactive art-themed activities, live performances (like the nightly shows with Broadway artists), and some truly stunning food dishes. There are so many things to DO throughout this festival that you might need the extra time to accomplish it all.

Looking at the schedule for 2027, we’ll also only have nine days after Festival of the Arts ends before the Flower & Garden Festival starts. That’s going to be a quick turnaround! The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival runs from March 10th through May 31st.
