It’s here! The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival has officially begun for the 2024 season, and the park is in full bloom. Like Festival of the Arts, I’m bringing you a full guide with everything you need to know, including menus, entertainment schedules, and more.
The International Flower and Garden Festival is my favorite EPCOT festival when it comes to decor. The park comes alive with brilliant floral displays and topiaries featuring beloved Disney characters. This year, there’s a brand-new topiary display inspired by the film Wish located at the front of EPCOT, as well as a brand-new topiary of Miguel and Dante from Coco.
The Flower and Garden Festival is filled with Outdoor Kitchens selling a selection of food and beverage items. This festival tends to lean more into brighter, more citrusy flavors as opposed to the heavier and richer items you tend to find at Food and Wine or Festival of the Holidays. Think lots of honey, pineapple, orange, etc.!
Outdoor Kitchen Menus
This year, EPCOT is offering nearly 20 “Outdoor Kitchens” (the Flower and Garden term for the food booths) and 60 brand-new menu items! Let’s dive right into this year’s menus.

Scavenger Hunts, Interactive Opportunities, and Merchandise
The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival offers two unique scavenger hunts for guests of all ages, though kids will especially enjoy participating: Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration and the EPCOT Egg-stravaganza Hunt. The first one involves spotting Spike the Bee throughout EPCOT, and the second is a limited-time offering just during the Easter season, where you’ll spot Easter eggs around EPCOT modeled after classic Disney characters.
Both activities involve purchasing a scavenger hunt map and stickers for $9.99 at select merchandise locations (Disney Traders, Creations Shop, or World Traveler). You are able to redeem a special prize for completing the map (pro tip: you can redeem your prize at the same time as when you purchase the map. That way, you don’t have to make the extra trip back to the merchandise location).
Another signature Flower and Garden offering is the Butterfly Landing Presented by AdventHealth. This gives guests the opportunity to observe several species of butterflies in an enclosed environment.
When it comes to merchandise, be on the lookout for all things Orange Bird! The classic Disney parks mascot has become the symbol of the Flower and Garden Festival over the years, and there is no shortage of Orange Bird swag to pick up during your visit. From spirit jerseys to bags to plush, there’s a perfect souvenir for guests of all ages.
