We were there Friday-Saturday. This year it didn’t seem as diverse as last year. Other than the silk marbling experience and pour your own candles experience it was mostly paintings & drawings. I seem to remember last year there were other types of art.

Both of our tweens made a scarf which was very fun. A small square scarf was about $29 per “experience”. We found it was worth it. The girls got to make their own and they turned out very different which was really cool. You pick your own colors and then can select a design. Really a fun project and a memorable experience overall.

I would definitely be interested in hearing more about this! Is there somewhere on line I can find details, or can you tell me a bit more about it?

We were at the festival for the first two days. We enjoyed a number of dishes. My favorite was Sous Vide Poulet Rouge Chicken Roulade at Pop Eats. The dish was beautiful and the chicken was very flavorful. The Pop’t Art: Modern-design Sugar Cookie with Strawberry Filling at the same booth was unfortunately our least favorite. Even with five of us taking bites (two tweens and two adults), about a third of it was still thrown away. It was just too sweet. However, those same tweens loved the Artist Palette Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookie. I think they enjoyed spreading the “paint” around the cookie and actually ate quite a bit of it even though it was very large.

I did not try it because I do not like lobster, but those around us at Taste Track were raving about the lobster mac and cheese. The trio of churros at that booth were not good though (churros did not taste freshly made and the frosting was very sticky).

My daughter and I did the Ink and Paint workshop on Saturday. We both felt it was not worth our time. Ugh. We both had a hard time following instructions based on the camera angles for the overhead projector. We inked a Mickey Mouse. She said this year future sessions will also sometimes have Minnie Mouse or Goofy I think.

It was very crowded, but we found most of the food lines moved quickly. Some dishes just take a while to make or plate (Sous Vide Poulet Rouge Chicken Roulade for example).... So bring your patience.

We also enjoyed stopping by the Tom’s tent. One of the artists made some amazing custom designs of my daughter’s horses. They have lots of fun Disney choices too. The hand painted designs seemed to range from $25 to $70 plus the cost of the shoes (which I think were around 40ish).

We really enjoyed shopping all the artist tents as well. So much fun to see the range of artwork. This was our first time at the Festival. We have also done Garden and FW…. but this one was our favorite overall since it seemed to have a little something for everyone in our group: art, shopping, activities, and FOOD :)

I really like that scarf idea - where did you find this to do?

The process is called water marbling. I have my own water marbling business at home. The experience allows you to paint on water then transfer the image to a silk scarf.
 


If anyone is interested, Tim tracker put his video up about the festival. He tried some food but that was about it. He didn’t seem to like much of what he tried though

All the complaining about the coloring book... Did I miss the end of the adult coloring era?? It has been all the rage for a while.

Coloring is actually pretty stressful and unrelaxing for me because it's the most tedious part of a commission or finishing a piece (again, for me. I'm not very good at it and it takes more effort). I know it's popular, but that (and it's sister craft, "paint this picture in a big group following instructions") are the opposite of a good time for me.

But also...I can't *wear* a coloring book. It just becomes something to take up space.

I really like pins. I like cute little things that can be accessories or decor.

I get why the change, if they want it to be more kid friendly. Kids probably would be more excited about a coloring book than a pin. But a coloring book feels like something you buy, not like a prize. A pin seems more like a prize to me.
