‘Once Upon a Stage: The Magic of Disney on Broadway’

According to the EPCOT Festival of the Arts website, Once Upon a Stage: The Magic of Disney on Broadway will return next year.

CommuniCore Hall

A new addition to the Festival of the Arts in 2025, Once Upon a Stage brings the magic of Disney on Broadway to EPCOT.

Housed within CommuniCore Hall, the exhibit showcases costumes, puppets, and props from some of Disney’s biggest stage shows.

Will the Exhibition Be Updated

At this time, it is unclear whether Once Upon a Stage will feature the same artifacts as last year or if it will be updated.

Last year’s exhibition included the Aladdin Costume Studio, The Lion King Mask and Puppet Workshop, and more!

So, if you plan on visiting the Festival of the Arts, make sure you stop by World Celebration and check it out!
