We’re counting down the days — okay, hours — until the 2024 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival kicks off!

It’s almost time!

This year’s event runs from February 28th through May 27th and will bring all sorts of delicious eats and drinks, exclusive merchandise, exciting entertainment, and more to EPCOT. Some of our favorite parts about this festival are all the floral displays and topiaries you’ll find throughout the park, in fact, an iconic EPCOT ride has received a refresh for the festival and we’re checking it out.

Living with the Land has received a bit of a makeover in celebration of the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival! We stopped by this iconic attraction to check it out. The festival doesn’t officially begin until February 28th, but Disney has already started setting up the food booths, topiaries, and now — this ride overlay!

Living with the Land

There’s a Winnie the Pooh-themed picnic happening in one of the greenhouses! We spy a basket with reusable cutlery and dishes, some Corkcicles, veggies, and of course — honey. We just have one question: How do we get an invite to this picnic?! Seems like an event we don’t want to miss.

How do we get an invite to this picnic???

There are other displays set up throughout the ride that aren’t normally there, either, and from what we can tell Disney is still working on setting up the final touches of this overlay. It’s possible that the full makeover won’t be complete until the festival officially begins, so keep that in mind if you’re heading to EPCOT before then. And, if you’re heading to the park for the Flower & Garden Festival, make sure you check out all of our posts to help you prepare!

Another display

The FULL MENUS have been released and you can see all the new items (there are over 70!!!) here. There will also be six brand-new character topiaries, and we’ve already seen a few pop up!

This year, several all-new topiaries will be joining the more than 70 others! One in particular is a nod to a favorite superhero movie. Groot(!!) will be making an appearance as flora colossus from the Guardians of the Galaxy movies with a giant cassette tape high above his head. You’ll be able to find him near the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ride.
