As the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts kicks off at Walt Disney World Resort, Disney has shared a look at the exhibit Once Upon A Stage: The Magic of DISNEY ON BROADWAY. This gives guests at EPCOT a behind-the-scenes look at DISNEY ON BROADWAY. This exhibit is at CommuniCore Hall each day between 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM during the Festival of the Arts.

Guests who stop by CommuniCore Hall during the Festival of the Arts can check out authentic props, costumes, and behind-the-scenes insights while exploring the artistry of beloved stage productions, including The Lion King, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast. Take a look below at the photos that Disney shared of this beautiful exhibit.

This exhibit in CommuniCore Hall appears to be the most popular offering to be put in the space since it debuted. This will be available for guests to experience throughout the length of the festival. This year, the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts continues until February 23, 2026.

Throughout the festival, there are also nightly performances from performers from a variety of DISNEY ON BROADWAY productions. They perform songs from different shows, including The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and more. Here is a look at the lineup of Broadway performers that will be found at EPCOT this year for the Festival of the Arts:
