Why You Should Plan a Disney Trip in 2025

The Festival of the Arts isn’t just another festival—it’s an unforgettable experience that brings creativity to life. If you’re dreaming of a Disney trip in 2025, timing it with the Festival is the perfect opportunity. You’ll get to enjoy EPCOT’s iconic attractions along with limited-time entertainment, such as Disney on Broadway performances, and the ability to watch Disney artists paint live in a way you won’t see at any other time of the year. Plus, with stunning art installations (many available for purchase) and live performances, there’s something for everyone in the family to enjoy.

Did we mention it is also the time of year with the best weather in Florida? Historically, during the Festival of the Arts dates, Florida experiences some cooler weather in the evenings, prompting locals to pull out their sweaters!

Another reason why you’ll want to travel to Walt Disney World in 2025 is because Disney Resort guests will be able to take advantage of FREE water park entrance on the day of arrival. Free water park tickets + park hopping to EPCOT for festival bites and shows = a magical start to any vacation!
