2024 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival

Feb 28, 2024

We've got all the OPENING DAY festival information you need to know!

We’re SOO excited to be here for the opening day of one of our favorite events in Walt Disney World - The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival! Whether you are traveling to Florida soon or thinking about planning a trip, we hope this guide will help you!


The EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival brings fun for kids of all ages. There are incredible topiaries and gardens, outdoor kitchens, the Garden Rocks Concert Series, scavenger hunts, interactive experiences such as a walk through butterfly garden, pop up playgrounds and so much more!

This year, EPCOT’s International Flower and Garden Festival runs for a shorter amount of time than in years past, from February 28th through May 27th. Be sure to consult with your Pixie Dust Planner for a complimentary vacation quote!


This year there are about 20 Outdoor Kitchens and over 60 new items to indulge in! Within all these new menu items, guests should ‘bee’ sure to try delights for the first time like the Cubanito at Florida Fresh and Peach Galette at EPCOT Farmers Feast. But don’t worry, there are plenty of returning favorites, including none other than the beloved Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade at Pineapple Promenade and the Chicken and Waffles at The Honey Bee-stro.


Be sure to pick up a free Festival Passport and join in on the foodie fun. Don’t forget about Garden Graze. This is a returning food stroll, which features 8 tasty bites from the Outdoor Kitchens. You receive a stamp on your passport after a qualifying purchase and once you collect five, you can receive their exclusive treat from the Pineapple Promenade.


And for a convenient way to pay as they go, we suggest that festival goers try these specially designed mini festival-themed Disney Gift Cards. You can simply load it and wear it on your wrist for quick and easy scanning when purchasing festival favorites.
