It’s March and it’s Spring right? Well when it comes to Disney, it nearly is: with the opening of Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival next week, Spring will truly be springing at Walt Disney World! Showcasing gorgeous flower displays and Disney character topiaries throughout the park, this is possibly the most beautiful time of year to visit Epcot. If you are visiting this year, you will want to plan plenty of time as there are a number of offerings at the Festival that have no cost beyond your park admission!
Visit the Outdoor Kitchens: Throughout World Showcase, these Outdoor Kitchens sell tasting-size dishes and drinks from around the world. Those familiar with the Epcot Food and Wine Festival will find the format similar, but the offerings are exclusive to the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. This year there will be over a dozen Outdoor Kitchens with all manner of delicious food and drink items. While these booths aren’t quite as crowded as the Epcot Food and Wine Festival, they are especially popular on the weekends, so if you have the option, you’ll find shorter lines by visiting during the week.
Take in a concert: The Garden Rocks Concert Series brings a variety of artists playing 1960s and 70s favorites at the America Gardens Theater. The concerts are included in park admission, though you might want to arrive early if you really want a seat.
Get some gardening tips: Each weekend at the Festival Center, guests can check out complimentary presentations from gardening and horticulture experts. If you’re a gardening enthusiast, this is a great chance to have experts answer your questions.
Plan plenty of time to browse: Possibly the best part of the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival is the beautiful flower displays, and they are everywhere. Give yourself time to stroll, take in the views, and find your favorite Disney character topiary.
This year’s Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot will be held from through , and you can get more details about this year’s events here. Happy Spring!
