There is nothing lovelier than springtime at Walt Disney World! The days get longer, the weather warms up, and colorful flowers bloom across the landscape as the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival begins, and Disney have just revealed the festival dates for this year!
This year the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival begins March 1 and continues through July 5.
We love the Flower & Garden Festival, featuring alluring gardens, whimsical topiaries, lively entertainment, beautiful merchandise and delightfully fresh cuisine.
Today, Wednesday, January 18, Walt Disney World have announced that for the first time, topiaries of Mirabel, Antonio, Isabela and Luisa from Disney’s “Encanto” will make a grand appearance at the festival.
Located near the EPCOT main entrance, these new topiaries are sure to be a must-do photo moment to mark your visit. (But remember: We don’t talk about Bruno.)
And that’s not all. A new Princess Tiana topiary will grace The American Adventure.
Plus, we also have returning favorites such as Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs; Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook and Tick Tock Croc; Figment; Anna and Elsa; and more.
The popular Garden Rocks Concert Series is back, featuring favorite tunes at the America Gardens Theatre.
More details about the musical lineup will be released soon!!
Plus, this year more than 15 Outdoor Kitchens will offer specialty menus of scrumptious cuisine and beverages.
Disney have also shared that The Citrus Blossom will move to a new location at Odyssey, with fresh new menu items.
This year's festival merchandise will be ‘70’s inspired Orange Bird' and will include apparel, headwear, homeward and much more.
Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration will be back again. This springtime scavenger hunt is fun for all ages. Follow Spike the Bee on his pollination trail, where he will “bee” busy collecting nectar and pollinating gardens at EPCOT. Once you find him in each garden on your map, add the corresponding sticker of the plant he is visiting.
On the bridge to World Showcase, you can enjoy the sights and scents of spring with Blossoms of Fragrance presented by Scentsy. Surrounded by vibrant butterfly topiaries, guests will be invited to follow their noses to six scent stations—to form lasting memories with the help of unforgettable aromas.
To experience the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, you must have both valid admission and a park reservation for EPCOT on the same date.
