This new festival celebrates the Arts and has both paid and complementary workshops. I attended two complementary workshops – one on Henna and one on Photography.
Although the workshops are complementary, there are a limited number of tickets. We arrived about 45 minutes early to get our tickets and had no problems getting a ticket but it was a Monday and they had waiting areas for tickets setup so it could have been more crowded over the weekend.
Both workshops were run by Disney employees who had worked with Disney for quite awhile and were very knowledgeable about their areas. Both workshops were informative and entertaining and worth the time to attend.
