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 in the My Disney Experience app, too.

There is also an interesting feature which might be helpful to guests with food allergies or intolerances.

When you click the “View Allergy Friendly Menus,” 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: “We use reasonable efforts in our food preparation and handling procedures to avoid the introduction of the most common allergens into your menu choices. While we take steps to prevent cross-contact, we do not have separate allergy-friendly kitchens and are unable to guarantee that a menu item is completely free of allergens.”)

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 18 Food Booths for 2024 (plus a few specialty offerings at additional locations around the park) serving up fresh-from-the-GARDEN flavors! Look for popular booths including The Honey Bee-stro Hosted by the National Honey Board, Magnolia Terrace, Pineapple Promenade, and Northern Bloom. Stay tuned for 2025 booths menus.

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!)

Low-Cost Activities

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 price in 2024 was $9.99 plus tax) and 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, Port of Entry, or Disney Traders and collect a prize!

A miniature game of cornhole can be yours!

There are four different designs to choose from: Spike the Bee, Coco, EPCOT logo, and Orange Bird.

Click here to check out Spike the Bee’s Scavenger Hunt to see what all the BUZZ is about!

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

If it returns in 2025, here are some good things to know: guests can purchase a map and stickers (the 2024 price was $9.99 plus tax) and hunt for cute Disney character “eggs” throughout World Showcase!

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!

EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival Special Events and Tours

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.

More Flower and Garden Festival Fun

Living with the Land

When you take a relaxing boat ride on the Living with the Land attraction in The Land pavilion in World Nature, you’ll see a celebration of plants that you can eat with the Edible Flower Garden. In 2024, the overlay incorporated decorations and floral arrangements from various Disney-adapted fairytales and stories!

The ride, which takes guests through greenhouse displays of food crops, dons some extra vibrant color and whimsical scenes, thanks to the flowers, during the Festival!

Festival Merchandise

A full range of Festival merchandise is available to commemorate your visit to the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival. (If you’d like to gear up in advance, select items are available on DisneyStore.com!)

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

A 2024 collection once again featured the Orange Bird! These included a new Orange Bird Lug Bag.

Additional 2024 merchandise collections featured characters from Coco, the Butterfly Collection starring Minnie Mouse, and an exclusive collection for Disney World Annual Passholders featuring Spike the Bee.

Throughout the Festival, more Magic Shots are often added for more PhotoPass fun.
