It may not even be October yet, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start thinking about the holiday season at Disney World!

Holidays in Magic Kingdom

We’re excited about Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom, Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios, and of course, the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. If you’re planning a trip to Disney World for the holiday season and are looking for a way to make it even more special, this NEW backstage tour might be just the thing!

This is not a drill! Disney just announced a new backstage tour coming to EPCOT for the holiday season. Each year, during the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, the Living with the Land ride is transformed into Glimmering Greenhouses decorated with lights, ribbons, and all sorts of holiday baubles.

Reindeer Mickey in Living with the Land

This year, Disney is introducing Behind the Seeds: Glimmering Greenhouses! This limited-time walking tour is being offered during the festival, from November 29th to December 30th, and is $45 per person. Each tour lasts one hour and will take place at 6PM and 7PM daily.

Living With The Land Holiday Edition

During the tour, you’ll be able to learn about “crops that bring festive flavors to many of our holiday traditions,” enjoy those incredible light displays after dark, explore the hydroponic greenhouses, and “discover sustainable growing techniques” that Disney uses to bring these greenhouses to life.

Living with the Land

To book, head to the Disney World website or the My Disney Experience app. Reservations are highly recommended since each tour is limited.

And, if you want to experience the regular Behind the Seeds backstage tour that normally takes place at Living with the Land — you still can! It will still be available during the day.

Stockings are up

Also during the Festival of the Holidays, you can enjoy enhanced offerings around EPCOT’S World Showcase (and beyond) and experience holiday traditions from various cultures as expressed through decorations, stories, music, cuisine, and additional special events. We can’t wait to see what this year’s festival will bring!

Christmas lights in sand? YES!

If the regular Behind the Seeds tour at Living with the Land is incredible, we can only imagine how cool and special the Glimmering Greenhouses version will be! In the meantime, we’ll be on the hunt for the latest updates about the holiday season at Disney World. Make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog so you don’t miss a thing!
