Once Upon A Stage: The Music of Disney on Broadway is coming to CommuniCore Hall for the 2027 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, which runs January 15 through March 1, 2027. The all-new exhibit follows songs from The Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and more as they come to life on stage, and Disney on Broadway merchandise is making its debut at CommuniCore Hall alongside it.
Disney Parks gave fans a first look on social media with a simple message: “The curtain is up.” Disney says the exhibit covers the full Disney on Broadway catalog, past, present and future, which leaves room for a peek at shows still to come.
This is the third year in a row for a Disney on Broadway exhibit at CommuniCore Hall, and each one has had its own angle. The 2025 exhibit, Once Upon A Stage: 30 Years of Disney on Broadway, was full of details we called out in our 30 Years on Broadway exhibit secrets, from Julie Taymor’s original Mufasa mask prototype to Anna’s and Elsa’s Frozen dresses. In 2026, The Magic of Disney on Broadway added more technology, better lighting and a 14-foot Genie lamp from the New Amsterdam Theatre, and our Once Upon A Stage review called it what the space at EPCOT should be all year long. The 2027 name puts the focus on the songs, so we will see how many costumes and sets carry over.
The merchandise is the other big piece. Disney on Broadway items inspired by Hercules, Aladdin, The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast will be sold at CommuniCore Hall, with show-inspired keepsakes and collectibles. Disney has not shared photos or prices yet.
The exhibit pairs with the Disney on Broadway Concert Series at America Gardens Theatre, which celebrates its 10th anniversary with six star pairings and a Newsies finale.
