The story

EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival in Orlando

The EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is Walt Disney World's spring garden celebration, held at the EPCOT theme park in Bay Lake, Florida, near Orlando, typically from February through late May or early June. Included with regular park admission, it fills the grounds with elaborate Disney-character topiaries, specialty gardens, and the long-running Garden Rocks concert series.

Its floral displays and destination scale give it strong nature-season value.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's signature attraction is its collection of sculpted character topiaries, ranging from Mickey and Minnie recreations of American Gothic to Beauty and the Beast, Peter Pan, and The Lion King figures shaped entirely from live plants, refreshed with new designs most years since the festival's 1994 debut

02

The mystery stays covered

The Epcot Garden Railway, a miniature train winding through scaled-down landmark buildings near the Germany pavilion, has run continuously since 1995

03

The city starts moving

Horticulturists also stage themed display gardens and a Butterfly Garden, while the Garden Rocks concert series, which replaced the earlier Flower Power series in 2015, brings free evening performances to the America Gardens Theatre
