Hi there, Lynda!
Thanks for bringing your question to us at planDisney from Across the Pond! I love that you're hoping to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth during what I consider to be The Most Magical Festival on Earth, the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. While the
iconic topiaries are worthy of a DIY scavenger hunt to ensure you see them all, my husband and I are always abuzz for Spike's Pollen-Nation Exploration. Maps for this official scavenger hunt that directs Guests to various festival gardens as they hunt for Spike the Bee, can be purchased at Flower & Garden Festival merchandise location points of sale and redeemed for a prize! While you're on the hunt for Spike, be sure to check out the menu for each unique
Outdoor Kitchen. Personally, I'm partial to the offerings of BRUNCHCOT, while my husband never skips Florida Fresh.
With Walt Disney World's earlier-than-usual release of 2025 vacation packages, you can secure yours today! Although Disney Resort hotel reservations are available and
complimentary entry to a Walt Disney World Resort water park for 2025 Disney Resort hotel Guests has been announced, unfortunately, not all details become available at the same time. Historically, EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival dates have not been
announced until January. Specifically, this year's dates (February 28-May27) were announced on January 16. While you won't have specific dates when you begin the process of booking your vacation if you plan on traveling with dates close to this window, you have a good chance of being able to experience all the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival has to offer.
We've covered the sights and
tastes of the festival, but as a final bit of advice, don't overlook the treats offered for your nose (Blossoms of Fragrance Presented by Scentsy) and ears (Songbird Meadow Presented by Wild Birds Unlimited) which also top my list of Flower & Garden favorites.
I hope this was helpful, Lynda, and that the stars (especially the second one to the right) align for you to enjoy the 2025 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. If you have any additional questions as you are planning, feel free to
stop back by. I'm always happy to help!
Hakuna Matata,
Lizzie
