Updated for 2024!
Ahhh spring! That means warmer weather, pretty flowers and the start of the annual Epcot Flower And Garden Festival. This year’s event runs from February 28 until May 27, 2024. I have all the colorful details from Walt Disney World to share with you. As a farm girl, this is my FAVORITE time of year to visit Walt Disney World.
From beautiful topiaries to delicious food to hands-on learning, the festival connects us with this great planet we live on. Living on a very large fruit and vegetable farm, and growing a lot of plants in our greenhouses, makes me appreciate even more how much work is put forth by the cast members to make this festival bloom. Ready to pack your bags and visit? Be sure to check out my Disney Packing Lists page before you go.
Did you know that more than 200,000 bedding plants are added to the gardens at EPCOT to bring this colorful festival to life? It’s a plant lover’s dream! Admission to the Flower And Garden Festival is included with your park ticket.
Before you start exploring, be sure to grab your Festival Passport. They are available at any of the merchandise areas. Your passport will guide you through each of the areas around Epcot.
