There are twelve places throughout the park where you can search for Spike the Bee. He’s hiding though, so you might have to look hard! But, he’s usually hiding amongst some plants and flowers. Spike is a bee, after all!

Garden Graze

If you’re looking to earn a prize just for eating some food, then you gotta check out the Garden Graze! When you buy each food item, you get a stamp from the Cast Members at that booth. Once you have all 5 stamps, you can go grab your prize over at Pineapple Promenade!

Here’s the foods that you have to eat to complete the graze:

• Grilled Street Corn on the Cob — located at Flavor Full Kitchen Hosted by AdventHealth
• Avocado Toast with Marinated Toy Box Tomatoes on Toasted Ciabatta — located at EPCOT Sunshine Griddle
