food IS a theme park
The Walt Disney Company had some fun news this week with one major surprise!
EPCOT
The Disney Company is keeping us on our toes in 2025 with major changes like DinoLand’s closure beginning, Muppet Vision 3D signing off soon, and the continued search for the next Disney CEO which will be announced sometime next year. There is always something going on within the Disney brand so we’re wrapping up the three biggest news stories from this week!
It’s almost February, and that means a lot of things, but one of the biggest in the world of Disney World news is that we’re one step closer to a new EPCOT Festival!
Topiary at the 2024 Flower & Garden Festival
Now, not to rush EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts, which we love so dearly and honestly wish was longer, but we’re really looking forward to seeing what EPCOT’s Flower & Garden Festival has in store for us this year! If you’ve been wanting to be sure you’ll get a great seat to see some of the fantastic entertainment on the way this year, this news is for you — reservations are now open for the Garden Rocks Concert Series!
We may just be getting into the EPCOT Festival of the Arts, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get excited about all that the Flower and Garden Festival has to offer!
Flower and Garden 2024
Disney previously shared a sneak peek at this year’s Garden Rocks Concert Series lineup along with which restaurants would have Dining Packages for the concerts, but now we know the FULL LINEUP of who is performing at the 2025 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival!
We’re nearly halfway through the month-long 2024 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays!
EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
After this holiday festival, the EPCOT Festival of the Arts will hit the park from January 17th through February 25th, 2025. While we eagerly await the food menus for the artsy festival, we’re already looking ahead to the following festival — the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival. Disney has just announced the 2025 dates for the spring festival AND the initial lineup for the exciting entertainment — the Garden Rocks Concert Series!
It’s almost time for the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival!
2023 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
This year’s festival starts earlier than normal on February 28th and runs until May 27th. You’ll get three months of delicious eats, beautiful floral displays, and stellar entertainment if you’re visiting EPCOT this spring! And part of the entertainment you can catch is the Garden Rocks Concert Series — this year, some BIG artists are coming to town.
We’ve made it to February and you know what that means…well, a lot of things, but it means that another EPCOT festival is almost here!
2023 Garden Rocks Concert
Currently, you can experience EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts, but on February 28th, EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival will kick off in the park! If you’re looking to get a dining package for one of the festival’s most popular experiences, they’re available RIGHT NOW!
A popular feature of each EPCOT festival is the concert series that takes place at the America Gardens Theater in World Showcase. For the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, that’s the Garden Rocks Concert Series!

The concerts are free to view (with EPCOT admission, of course), but if you want to guarantee your seat — which is important for the concerts of some of the most popular bands that come to perform — you can purchase a Dining Package. Now, we know exactly how much those Garden Rocks Concert Dining Packages will cost in 2024! [Read more…]
One of the BEST parts about the EPCOT festivals is the opportunity to catch the themed entertainment.
Flower and Garden Festival (2023)
We recently got some new details regarding the upcoming EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, whose featured entertainment is the Garden Rocks Concert Series. This series takes place in the America Gardens Theatre at select times each night throughout the Flower and Garden Festival. You’ll be able to catch globally-recognized artists as well as local acts. Disney just shared the full lineup for this year’s concert series, and we’re SO excited.
We’re just a few weeks away from the Dining Plan returning to Disney World, and we’re trying to collect all the information we can before it launches!
Full spread at Geyser Point
When the Dining Plan was announced to return on January 9th, 2024, Disney World started updating its website with all the important info about how it will be used. But one section was left blank — the details about how to use the Dining Plan with concert dining packages at EPCOT!
