    Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Finn!

    Welcome to planDisney! We are DELIGHTED you stopped by and are honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to Disney World! I think it's about time to cue the happy dance and the fireworks! We are so excited for you because there’s nothing quite like stepping into the MAGIC, whether you’re chasing thrills, snacks, or pure nostalgia. Every trip holds its own kind of enchantment, and we just know yours is going to be packed with unforgettable moments. So grab those Mickey ears and let’s get you ready for an incredible adventure!

    The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is one of the most breathtaking and joy-filled events Disney puts on each year! I just checked with Mickey, and he said they are putting the finishing touches on this event. This means the 2026 dates have not been officially announced yet. However, we can still sprinkle a little pixie-dusted planning MAGIC. Based on previous years, you can expect it to begin in early March, since the 2025 festival kicks off on March 5.  If you are planning a spring trip, early March is a pretty solid target to keep on your radar.

    And let me say that the Flower & Garden Festival is so worth experiencing. EPCOT transforms into a vibrant world of color, with over-the-top gardens and whimsical floral displays that make the park feel like it’s bursting with life. You’ll find outdoor kitchens serving seasonal dishes that taste like spring on a plate. Honestly, half the fun is walking from booth to booth, trying something new. The festival also features live music, gardening exhibits, and those incredible themed topiaries that practically beg to be photographed. Whether you’re a foodie, a plant lover, or just someone who enjoys Disney at its most beautiful, Flower & Garden is truly a must-do. So hang tight for those official 2026 dates, but get excited because whenever it starts, it’s going to be absolutely spectacular!

    I also recommend checking out the Disney Parks Blog for the big Flower & Garden announcement! Mickey and his pals always share the most up-to-date information there, and we don't want you to miss any of the fun!

    If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way!

    Have a MAGICAL day!
