Ever since January 16th rolled around, we’ve been enjoying EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts! The festival is in full swing and will continue through February 23rd. We’ve really enjoyed diving into all the art, snacks, entertainment, events, and more.
2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts
Just when we thought the festival couldn’t get any better, an exciting announcement was made about a special surprise arriving at the park, or should we say a special guest! Well, that special guest has now arrived, and we’re spilling all the details.
Are you a fan of Gideon’s Bakehouse, or more specifically, the artwork at Gideon’s? We sure are, which is why we were so thrilled to hear that you can find artwork by Gideon’s Bakehouse’s iconic artist, Michael Reyes, for a limited time at the park!
Inside Gideon’s Bakehouse
Right now, you can see the one-of-a-kind Gideon’s artwork by Michael at this year’s festival. Once you get to EPCOT, head over to the Gideon’s Bakehouse booth from January 30th through February 23rd.

That’s not all! You’ll also have the chance to meet the artist himself. However, that’s only for a limited time. He’ll be available to meet with guests on January 30th (12-3 PM), January 31st (4-7 PM), and February 1st (12-3 PM). If you happen to miss him this weekend, don’t worry, he’s coming back on February 21st, 22nd, and 23rd.
