The 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is set to begin this Friday, January 8th, but we’ve already started to see some decorations up around the park!

Festival of the Arts
While we’re very excited to celebrate the culinary arts at this festival, we’re also looking forward to hopping into a few paintings and celebrating the visual arts with some creative photo ops. We’ve seen these fun photo experiences up at the Festival of the Arts in the past, and now we’ve spotted a few already in place in EPCOT.
Over at The American Adventure, you can jump into Washington Crossing the Delaware from artist Emanuel Leutze.

Or, you can keep walking around EPCOT and try to get your facial expressions just right to recreate or put your own unique spin on The Scream by Edvard Munch or Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. Who will have a better smile, Mona Lisa or you? You’ll have to take your photo here to find out!

The Scream and Mona Lisa Photo Ops
Perhaps you’re more into boating and lunching? Then, you’ll want to find the photo op that will place you right at the center of Luncheon of the Boating Party by Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Pretend to be talking to some of the characters or create your own fun spin on whatever story you want to tell with this photo opportunity!

Luncheon of the Boating Party Photo Op
Another true classic is represented in this photo op of The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli. Do you think you can strike as ICONIC of a pose as Venus? This is the best way to find out.
Where better to find the Frida-Kahlo-inspired photo op than just inside the Mexico Pavilion? Give us your best Frida glance through the self-portrait frame.
Near International Gateway, you’ll spot a Disney-lover’s photo op through and through. Head to Mermaid Lagoon or Skull Rock with the Peter Pan photo op!
And, if you spot this photo op from the back, it’s designed to look like a Peter Pan book. So cute!
In years past, a few more photo ops have been available throughout EPCOT, so we’ll keep an eye out for those in the next few days. You know we’ll be in EPCOT on the Festival’s opening day to taste all the treats, check out the merch, and more. Stay tuned to DFB for ALL the latest news on the Festival of the Arts.
