How to Best Enjoy the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival 

1. Plan of what food and drinks you don’t want to miss!
2. Don’t miss the live entertainment at the American Garden Theater. Selections and times change throughout the festival.
3. Make a plan for entertaining the kids. There are so many opportunities for them at the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival that will keep them wanting to explore more. Including Spikes Pollen Nation Scavenger hunt and finding their favorite character topiary!
4. Use the touring plan below to plan your day.

Topiaries

These are the bread and butter of the festival in my opinion.  The gardens are gorgeous but the larger than life character topiaries will leave you in awe!

The topiaries at the Flower and Garden Festival are my MOST favorite part!  I remember Disney’s iconic topiaries from my first visit to Disney World as a high schooler!  I desperately wanted one at my own house and still, regularly ask my husband to build me one.  (insert him laughing at me here!)

It’s crazy just how much work goes into these beautiful pieces of art and how much each of them weighs!
