Epcot International Festival of the Arts- UPDATED Times Guide on Post 61

[IHeartGoofy83]

Soooo excited... The hubby and I will be there this Friday (13th) through Monday and I really want to go to the Todd Bright Gesture Drawing Class. The only issue is that we only got park tickets to go to parks on Saturday and Sunday (spending Friday in Disney Springs and / or resort hopping). I might have to find a way to adjust this plan. We are already planning to be there on Sunday in Epcot.

I just made a list of food I want to try and the booths/country they are located. Wouldn't want to miss a single thing.

I really, REALLY, hope that they didn't underestimate demand and that they still have enough merchandise left by the end of the festival for people not traveling until the last weekend it runs. I really want that Figment as Mona Lisa t-shirt, its calling me.

The Food Booths are all up!

All of them are covered except for 2 at the front of the Promenade and they look awesome-really "artsy".

Also the Imagination Walkway is going to be really great.

Can't wait-so excited to be there for this piece of Epcot history!

The e-mail contains a link that takes you to an "event registration" page on the Disney site. I haven't seen anything like this on Disney's site before - it actually had me "wait in line" for a minute or so before the next page loaded.

I wonder if all tiers are getting these as I'm a gold passholder and would love to be able to get a seat for one

How did you get it to work? I can't get the link to recognize that we are pass holders and there is no way to sign in

They are using the same type of queue for the new Star Wars 1 day event
Now if I could only figure out how to make it work for me

 

[KayKayJS]

I would really like to register for Sunday but I can't get the link to work....

 

[kennythepirate]

All in for Friday 5:30 like I had hoped!

What's the Imagination Walkway?

Got mine while driving... Handed to DS and he registered all of us. It said we could link F/F but refused any of mine except those with APs for reservation. So guessing this is a legit AP perk?!?!

 

[HopperFan]

I had to sign in, first page to come up.

Yes in the "fine print" @beesly posted it says all attendees must have a valid AP and to get your show pass you have to go the day of and present the AP and photo ID to get it.

I had to log in then go back to my email and follow the link again which worked. When I initially logged in it took me to a generic Disney website-think it is because I am on my phone and the mobile site got confused-but once I had logged in clicking the link a second time worked.

When I click the link, it asks me to sign in before taking me to the "waiting" page (even though I'm already signed in on another browser tab). I looked for some other link you could follow from within MDE (like in the events/offers section of the AP page), but I'm not seeing anything.
