Hiya Ronald!
Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your question about the
Behind the Seeds Tour—this experience is truly a hidden gem at EPCOT! My husband and I took the tour a few years ago, and honestly, we still talk about it whenever we get the chance. We loved it so much, it inspired us to start our own little hydroponic garden at home—bringing a bit of that Living with the Land magic right to our backyard!
Now, let’s dig into your question. While closed-toe shoes aren’t officially required, they are
highly recommended. The tour is approximately an hour long, and since you’ll be walking through various greenhouse spaces and backstage areas, comfortable footwear is highly recommended. Trust me, you’ll want to be focused on all the fascinating plants (and maybe even a few unexpected critters!) instead of worrying about your feet.
One of my favorite tips is to hop on
Living with the Land right before your tour. It gives you a great sneak peek of the areas you’ll be exploring and helps set the stage for all the cool behind-the-scenes details you’ll learn.
And don’t forget—you’ll want to arrive a few minutes early for check-in. This is one Disney experience you don’t want to be late for! If you miss your tour time, you’ll need to reschedule with Guest Relations, and we definitely don’t want you to miss out on a single magical moment.
Ronald, I hope this helps get you even more excited for your upcoming tour! It’s such a unique way to experience the magic of
EPCOT. If you have any more questions—or just want to chat Disney—I’m always happy to help.
See ya real soon!
