Navigating the Festival

The Festival’s Flower and Garden Passport is available to help you locate all the Outdoor Kitchens (and much more!) and keep track of everything you eat as a free souvenir.

The Passports also provide information on all the daily ins-and-outs of the Festival.

You’ll find a Digital Festival Guidebook on the home screen of the My Disney Experience app, too.

There is also an interesting feature on the Disney World website which might be helpful to guests with food allergies or intolerances: you can check out the Allergy-Friendly Menus at the Flower & Garden Festival. And, guests in the park can scan the QR code provided in the Festival Passport to find the same information.

Here, you can find items that are friendly for guests with gluten/wheat, egg, soy, peanut/tree nut, milk, sesame, fish/shellfish and other allergies. (Please be aware that Disney states the following regarding the Outdoor Kitchens: “You may consult with a chef or special-diets-trained Cast Member before placing your order. We use reasonable efforts in our sourcing, preparation and handling procedures to avoid the introduction of the named allergen into menu choices. However, it is possible for the allergen to be introduced before the food is provided to us or inadvertently during our preparation or handling. We do not have separate kitchens to prepare allergy-friendly items or separate dining areas for Guests with allergies or intolerances.”)

EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival Outdoor Kitchens

Outdoor Kitchens are set up all around the park, with the majority found on the Promenade and around EPCOT’s World Showcase Lagoon!

The Outdoor Kitchens are similar to the Marketplace Booths for the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival in that they provide enhanced food offerings to guests at the Flower and Garden Festival.

There were 20 Food Booths for 2025 (PLUS specialty offerings at additional locations around the park) serving up fresh-from-the-GARDEN flavors! And two NEW Outdoor Kitchens arrived for 2025: Yacht Grub and Beach Grub! Stay tuned for 2026 Festival Outdoor Kitchen booths and menus!

Festival-Themed “Beacon of Magic” (Evenings in World Celebration)

Stroll by Spaceship Earth after the sun goes down, and you are in for an extra Festival treat! Spaceship Earth has a new permanent nighttime look with brilliant points of light all over the geodesic sphere.

And this evening show transforms just for the Flower & Garden Festival! You may hear the song “What Else Can I Do?” from Encanto while floral patterns and other shapes light up Spaceship Earth. The regular EPCOT evening show and the Colors of the Wind show also play each evening. (The presentations rotate throughout the evening, so there is no set time to worry about. Just head to Spaceship Earth after the sun sets through park closing and you won’t miss it!)

Disney-Themed Festival Topiaries

The Festival is included in regular EPCOT admission (with a few additional activities typically available for participation at a low cost). And, of course, the gorgeous Disney Character Topiaries all around the park enhance everyone’s visit to EPCOT!

NEW for 2025 was a Moana-themed topiary at EPCOT’s main entrance! Joining Moana in the display were Maui, Heihei and Pua. 

For 2024, a new GROOT topiary made his debut near the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction, and he returned for 2025!

Mexico showcases Miguel and Dante from Disney Pixar’s Coco!

Throughout the Festival, you can also check out returning favorites such as Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook and Tick Tock Croc; Figment; Anna and Elsa; and more.

Low-Cost Scavenger Hunts

Egg-Stravaganza and Spike’s Pollen Nation Exploration

More fun for the whole family is Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration!

The Disney honeybee named Spike pollinates his way around the festival and guests can follow his trail!

Guests may purchase a map and stickers (the 2025 price was $9.99 plus tax) at select locations (look for a sign like the one below), then fill in the map as they search for the plants Spike has pollinated.

Once your map is complete, you can return it to Creations, World Traveler, or Disney Traders and collect a prize!

In 2025, you could take your pick from four Disney character-themed watering canisters for your at-home plants or garden!

Join us on the Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration Scavenger Hunt HERE!

The Egg-Stravaganza Scavenger Hunt is an extra Easter-season activity which is available for a limited time (through Easter, while supplies last).

Here are some good things to know: guests can purchase a map and stickers at select merchandise locations around World Showcase.

Next, hunt for cute Disney character “eggs” throughout World Showcase and mark your map with the corresponding character egg sticker.

When you find all the “eggs” you can return your completed map to Disney Traders and pick a “sp-egg-tacular surprise” that makes an adorable souvenir!

The 2025 prize was a Paint-Your-Own Character Wooden Egg in your choice of Mickey, Minnie, White Rabbit, Chip, Dale, or Thumper!

Learn more about Egg-stravaganza here!

EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival Special Exhibits and Tours

Flower & Garden Festival at CommuniCore Hall

CommuniCore Hall in World Celebration hosted a special exhibit for the Festival.

Disney shares that guests could: “Get a bee’s eye view at CommuniCore Hall, with a new gallery that is larger than life! Grab a bite at EPCOT Farmers Feast and learn more about how Disney’s Horticulture team brings topiaries, flower towers and more to the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival.” 

The exhibit, of course, included lots of lovely plants and we even spotted Spike the Bee amongst one of the displays!

You could also find information placards throughout the exhibit to learn about the use of plants, flowers, and topiaries in the Disney World parks over the years. Topiaries have been providing “magical moments” in the Disney parks since 1963!

There was also a section dedicated to the topiaries of the Flower & Garden Festival. Hello there Bo Peep, Anna, Elsa, Phineas, Ferb, and Figment!

Be sure to take some time to explore CommuniCore Hall during the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival!

English Tea Garden Tour

Guests can enjoy complimentary tours in the English Tea Garden Presented by Twinings® in the United Kingdom Pavilion. You’ll learn about how tea is grown, manufactured, and brought to your own tea kettle.

There are typically TWO versions of the free Tea Tour available: a self-guided version, and a 30-minute Guided Tour.

For the self-guided tour, guests may simply visit The Tea Caddy shop and ask a Cast Member for a brochure. When you finish your self-guided tour, return to The Tea Caddy and let a Cast Member know you’re finished (and you may receive a small surprise!).

Interested in the Guided Tour? You’ll also stop by The Tea Caddy and sign up for a same-day 30-minute tour! Please note that availability is limited.

Behind the Seeds Tour

Though the Behind the Seeds Tour is available throughout the year at EPCOT, fans of the Flower & Garden Festival may take special interest in this tour of The Land pavilion’s greenhouses!

Participants visit four greenhouses (plus a fish farm) in The Land Pavilion during this one-hour tour, encountering insects, fish, and plants along the way.

The cost is $39.00 – $45.00 per guest (prices vary by date), and tours are offered several times daily, typically beginning at park opening with the last tour available at 4:30PM. View available times on the Disney World Behind the Seeds Tour Page. Booking is available via the Walt Disney World website. Guests may also book Behind the Seeds via the My Disney Experience app.

Festival Merchandise

A full range of Festival merchandise is available to commemorate your visit to the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival.

Look for items including apparel, glassware, kitchenware and magnets — and, of course, Minnie Mouse Ears — all bearing logos of the Festival and its attractions.

2025 collections featured Orange Bird (in a special Flower & Garden 30th Anniversary line), Spike the Bee, and Alice in Wonderland!

Disney World Annual Passholders can look forward to exclusive items, and can also typically use their 20% discount on merchandise at the Festival.
