Good morning from EPCOT, where preparations continue for the first EPCOT festival of the year! The 2026 EPCOT Festival of the Arts begins later this week, and new props, exhibits, and more continue to pop up overnight at the park. While visiting EPCOT this morning, we found this year’s Drawing on Inspiration display. The theme this year is Disney theme park concept art! Here’s a closer look.
Drawing on Inspiration – Concept Art | 2026 EPCOT Festival of the Arts
In the breezeway between World Celebration and World Discovery (on your way to Test Track and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind), guests can find the Drawing on Inspiration display featuring theme park concept art! The display is nestled in between Club Cool and Creations Shop, and it features seven pieces of concept sketches by Disney Imagineers.
When Walt Disney Imagineers begin dreaming up a new attraction, land, or experience, they often start with a sketch-a quick, simple drawing that captures the heart of what they hope to create.
Over time, these sketches will evolve into detailed concept art, intricate character studies, and fine-tuned architectural blueprints. But the sketch is the first point of origin-the one little spark that starts the creative process.
This exhibit showcases sketches by current Imagineers who were inspired by the many wonders found throughout Disney Parks. May these little flights of fancy fan the flames of your own imagination-and help you notice how tiny details can come together to make something magical.
