Epcot's International Flower & Garden Festival

Disney has recently released some information regarding this Spring's Flower & Garden Festival at Epcot.  This yearly event completely transforms Epcot into with more than 100 topiaries, 240 floating mini-gardens, dozens of flower towers and sweeping beds of blooms!  All exhibits and many of the seminars are included with your normal Epcot admission.



The festival will be held from March 6-May 19, 2013.

New this year:
  • Illuminated gardens - When the sun goes down, many of the topiaries and gardens will be lit!
  • Epcot chefs will have special cooking stations with bites of food and drink throughout the World Showcase.  The menus will include a backyard barbecue and a variety of garden-inspired and global tastes.
  • A circus-like "Land of Oz Play Area" (based on the Disney film, "OZ: The Great and Powerful to be released in March 2013) will be interactive and adorned with giant flowers.  Located on the Imagination Walkway.
  • The topiaries at Epcot's entrance will be Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Pluto and Goofy having a cookout.  Goofy will have an anniversary cake celebrating the Festival's 20th year
  • "Monsters University" topiary based on the upcoming, June 2013 film, will feature your favorite monsters Mike and Sully.  Located on the Future World Walkway.
  • The ever-popular Phineas and Ferb will be featured this year in floral form.  Located behind Spaceship Earth.
  • On the Test Track Walkway you'll find a Radiator Springs interactive play zone
  • Topiaries of Tinker Bell and some of her fairy friends will be located in the Butterfly House this year on the Imagination Walkway.
