It’s my FAVORITE day of the entire year. Yes, it’s the first day of the 2024 Flower and Garden Festival!
2024 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival Passport
Yes, we’re enjoying all the springtime vibes as we walk around an EPCOT that’s CRAWLING with florals, springtime eats, and of course — SOUVENIRS. What? You think our shopping addiction is pushed aside for an EPCOT festival? Nah, as much as we love all the food, we love the merchandise just as much! The Creations Shop was already packed with folks at park open. There was a wait outside of about 45 minutes to get into the shop. Cast Members were directing foot traffic with megaphones. There was one thing in particular that we (and probably a lot of other folks) had jumped in line for.
It’s the exclusive Flower and Garden Festival Lug bag! Lug bags debuted at Disney World earlier this year, and it’s safe to say that Disney Adults have been OB.SESSED. with them. Like, they’re just the perfect size for your phone, cards, lip products, and other necessities. Anyway, anyway. The exclusive Flower and Garden Festival Lug bag features none other than ORANGE BIRD!
IT’S SO CUTE
It’s $60 and features a quilted texture on the outside, and the front pocket looks like Orange Bird’s face.

There’s a limit of two Orange Bird Lug bags per person, and even then, these are going QUICKLY. Cast Members have been hard at work to restock these.

Those aren’t even the MOST exclusive Lug bags, though. There are two more that are available, but they are Annual Passholder exclusive.
This year, there are also Annual Passholder-EXCLUSIVE @LugLife bags featuring Spike the Bee! 🐝 pic.twitter.com/r4CstcMLBn

It’s so frustrating when you attend the festival, but towards the end (May 4-6) and can’t get merch. I ran into this with Festival of the Holidays and I was there Dec 2nd!
I’m an out of state AP and go approx. 6x per year and run into this all the time. I wish they would give APs opportunities online.
