Hi flower-children and gardeners! It’s Jenn from Journeys by Jenn, and I'm excited to dive into the floral wonderland that is the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival. Kicking off on February 28th and blooming for 90 magical days, this festival is a result of a year-long planning extravaganza that involves 24,000 cast members! Ready to immerse yourself in petals, topiaries, and culinary delights? Let's get started on your must-do list!
1. Passport in Hand, Adventure Begins
First things first – snag a passport! This guide is your key to unlocking all things flower and garden. Inside, you'll find a treasure trove of information on food booths, merch locations, details about enchanting topiaries, and more. Consider it your personalized roadmap to navigate the floral wonders of Epcot.
2. Topiaries Galore: A Feast for the Eyes
Embark on a topiary tour across EPCOT – a breathtaking journey featuring characters from Frozen, Beauty and the Beast, Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, Toy Story, and more. You name it, there’s probably a topiary for it! It’s an amazing form of art, with more than 500,000 plants, trees, and shrubs that create living sculptures. With 60 species of trees and 47 types of palms, the topiaries are a testament to nature's creativity.
3. Sip, Savor, and Explore Culinary Delights
Follow your taste buds on a culinary adventure through the festival's diverse food booths. Each booth represents a different country, offering a delightful mix of flavors. Pay special attention to the festival-specific items – they're here for the duration of the event, which means you have a limited time to indulge in delectable treats and sips.
4. Dive into Festival Fun
Immerse yourself in the festivities with scavenger hunts, the Garden Rocks concert series, and more. Engage in the thrill of discovering hidden treasures with scavenger hunts that promise a “prize” at the end. Move to the rhythm of the Garden Rocks concert series, featuring an array of talented musicians. Your passport, acquired in number 1, is your go-to guide for all the vibrant activities happening during the Flower and Garden Festival.
