If you are planning a Disney vacation between now and June 2nd, then you will want to visit Epcot. This festival celebrates the beauty of nature in the most magical way. Let us give you a breakdown of the festival’s highlights and what you can expect during your visit. Make sure when visiting Epcot to pick up your festival passport, your guide to all things Flower and Garden.
Topiary Displays
The main signature feature of the Flower & Garden Festival is of course flowers! Throughout Epcot you will discover stunning topiary displays. These are beautiful giant, living sculptures. I don’t know how Disney does it, but these creations are amazing. Each display is created using flowers, shrubs, and other plants.
At this year’s festival, discover a new Moana display, along with a display from Inside out 2. In World Celebration enjoy displays of iconic Disney characters like; Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, & Chip ‘n’ Dale. Visit Tinker Bell’s Fairy House Garden & Winnie the Pooh and Friends in the United Kingdom Pavillion, Simba and Friends in World Nature, and Lady & the Tramp in the Italy Pavillion.
Be on the lookout for Snow White, Beauty & the Beast, Tiana, Coco, Encanto, Figment, & Groot scattered throughout the park.These displays are a great and beautiful background for a free photo op!
Gardens
The festival features walk through gardens, but these are not just ordinary gardens, these are enchanted themed gardens like only Disney can do.
Butterfly landing in World Celebration is a festival favorite. In an array of colorful flowers, guests can experience butterflies up close and personal. Then, follow your nose across the bridge to World Showcase. Here is where you will find floral scents like mango, lavender, citrus, mint, and rose.
Another popular festival garden is the English Tea Garden in the United Kingdom Pavilion. You can learn the history and art of tea-blending. Tea is not for me, but if it is something you are interested in, you can schedule a complimentary guided tour.
The Community Garden in World Celebration is just that; a communal garden. This is a good walk through garden for families to explore. And what if kids need to burn off energy? The Flower and Garden Festival has something for that to. A camp-themed garden allows kids to jump, play and climb. And finally, stroll over to the Honey Bee-stro to try tasty treats.
Food & Drinks
What is a festival without food and drinks? Well, Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival has plenty of specialty food and drinks for you to dig your taste buds into.
During the festival season, outdoor kitchens and food booths pop-up all over the World Showcase. This is your chance to try unique flavor-filled dishes for under $10. Yes, that’s right eat your way around the showcase pavilions while snacking on a dime. Need to wash down all that flavorful food? Enjoy wine, beer, and specialty drinks found at festival pop-up carts. Drink prices at this year’s festival will set you back anywhere from $12.50 a drink and up.
Another great way to enjoy festival food is to participate in the graze garden. Remember to get your festival passport when you arrive at the park. Then, find qualifying booths and purchase Garden Graze items. Make sure to get your passport stamped. Once, you purchase 5 graze items, make your way to the Pineapple Promenade with your stamped passport to get your prize. What a fun way to experience the festival!
Entertainment & Souvenirs
Throughout the festival enjoy live entertainment. The America Gardens Theatre has a great concert series lineup of show-stopping performers in 2025. This year, enjoy live entertainment on weekdays from local artists and rock out to performers like Rick Springfield and 38 Special on weekends. Click on the concert series link to view the months and dates of scheduled performances.
Dining packages are available on select dates from March 7 to June 2, 2025 during the length of the festival. According to Disney, when you book a Garden Rocks Dining Package, you can enjoy a leisurely meal at select EPCOT restaurants to guarantee seats at one of the Garden Rocks performances that day. Click on the link to the Garden Rocks Concert Series dining package for more details.
And my favorite activity of them all—shopping! Stock up on exclusive festival merch like floral theme apparel and garden inspired souvenirs, including, the Spike the Bee collection, the Alice in Wonderland collection, and the Orange Bird Collection.
