Hey there, Eddie! Glad to have you back here at planDisney. I see you have an upcoming trip to Walt Disney World Resort. How exciting!
May will be here before you know it! I have a trip planned that month as well. It's one of my favorite times to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth. Be sure to check out the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, which is in full bloom right now. I've been a few times and can personally say it's an event you won't want to miss. My biggest tip is to browse the list of available foods and drinks, then make a shortlist of the items you want to try. This helps prioritize what's most important to you.
Bonus tips: Most food booths are cashless! And don't forget to check out the character topiaries! This year, I enjoyed Spike's Pollen-Nation Exploration, a scavenger hunt throughout World Showcase where you'll search for the hidden Spike to claim a prize once completed. To participate, purchase the scavenger hunt map available at select merchandise locations throughout EPCOT.
Regarding the luggage tags, these are provided to Guests who book a vacation package that includes both a resort hotel stay and tickets. If you don't receive them ahead of time, don't worry, as you can collect them from the front desk at your Disney Resort hotel during check-in. I'm so glad you're staying on site! The
benefits of being a Disney Resort hotel Guest are fantastic. I personally love
Early Theme Park Entry and the
complimentary transportation.
There's currently a
special offer for Guests arriving between May 26 and September 8, 2026. If you're staying at a Disney Resort Collection hotel during these dates, you'll enjoy complimentary water park admission on your check-in day! If this matches your reservation, be sure to take advantage of it.
Eddie, I hope this information helps, and, more importantly, that you have a truly magical time during your upcoming trip. If any more questions pop up, please come back and see me!
Your personal planning companion,
Michelle
