The Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival
It's the oldest of Epcot's Festivals and it set the tone and the bar for other theme park festivals (in this travel blogger's opinion!).
Welcome to the Happiest
Flower and Garden Show on Earth!
Why should you tiptoe through the tulips at Epcot?
Here are our top 5 travel tips to tiptoe through the tulips:
Background Information: Epcot has The World Showcase, pavilions representing 11 countries that include attractions, food, beverages, entertainment and shopping that represent those cultures. Enjoy your trip around the world!
Before you start your adventure, look at the My Disney Experience App and pick up a passport book when you get to Epcot. Inside, you'll find info about the kitchens and the menus so that you can plan your day. Now, on to the 5 travel tips to Epcot's Flower & Garden Festival:
1. What are topiaries? Shrubs in the shape of Disney characters, placed all over Epcot. Grown and shaped by Disney gardeners and landscapers, they add great decor to the flower and garden festival ambience.
2. Extra kiosks: In addition to the 11 permanent pavilions in the World Showcase, extra booths, kiosks (kitchens) and carts are throughout the park with added treats and flower and garden merchandise. Booths that are normally there add in festival related items to get in the spring and flower and garden spirit.
3. Little Gardens: Learn how, what and where to plant flowers and/or foliage to create great gardens. Usually, there is a Shakespeare Garden in the UK Pavilion; a Spice Garden in the Morocco Pavilion, etc. Use these travel tips to plan what to see at Epcot's Flower & Garden Festival.
4. The Garden Rocks: Take a break from the mile walk around the World Showcase and enjoy some entertainment in the American Gardens, in The American Adventure Pavilion. Check the passport guide book or the app for performers, dates and times.
5. You can participate: Check out the website or passport book to see if any classes, workshops and demonstrations are being offered. Visit the Butterfly Garden. Also, kids ages 2-100 enjoy the scavenger hunts and collecting projects from the Kidcot post in each pavilion. Some amenities might cost extra.
