Emily Ray - A Shore Thing Travel

My FAVORITE festival is happening right now at EPCOT until February 23 😍

The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts has so much for you to do and enjoy, regardless of who is in your travel party. From creative foods, inspirational performances, eye-catching artwork, and more, you will have plenty to do and experience at this festival. Here's a little of what you'll find there:
🎨Disney on Broadway Concert Series
🎨Animation Academy
🎨A Paint by Numbers Mural
🎨Artful Photo Ops
🎨Kids Chalk Art
🎨Chalk Art Galleries
🎨Figment Scavenger Hunt
🎨Delicious Foods
🎨Music Performances
🎨Art Booths where you can meet artists

I've personally been to this festival at least 6 times in the past 7 years. Last year I was able to experience it with my 9-year-old...and she had a blast! (She's also an art-loving kid.) Definitely recommend attending at least once, especially if you enjoy art!

Would this be a festival you'd want to go to?

✨ Expert Disney planning. No planning fee. Stress-free magic. ✨

✨ I’m back! ✨

After taking many months away from travel planning, I’m excited to share that I am officially back to helping families book their family vacations!

Since 2018, I have greatly enjoyed helping families experience the magic of Walt Disney World, Disney Cruises, and Universal Orlando Resort. Taking a step back has given me time to recharge, reflect, and to get excited about helping families make magical memories again.

If you’ve been dreaming of your next vacation — whether it’s Main Street, U.S.A. or the Wizarding World — I’d love to help make it happen. 🏰🚢✨

Where do you want to go on your next vacation? My little one says Walt Disney World is next on our list!💫
