The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is back for 2025, transforming the park into a dazzling springtime spectacle from March 5 through June 2. This annual celebration showcases breathtaking floral arrangements, intricate Disney-themed topiaries, outdoor kitchens serving seasonal delicacies, and new experiences designed to captivate guests of all ages.
One of this year’s standout additions is the Playalong Bay Playground, an interactive children’s area presented by Smucker’s Uncrustables. Located near the Imagination! Pavilion, this ocean-inspired play zone brings a touch of coastal charm to the festival, drawing inspiration from Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. It features a variety of nautical elements, from boat oars to life preservers, designed to make young adventurers feel as though they’ve stepped into a seaside escape.
Playalong Bay includes a fun collection of climbing structures resembling driftwood, rock formations adorned with shells, and themed signposts directing kids to whimsical locations such as “Raspberry Beach” and “Grape Canaveral.” A playful photo op allows children to pose as an octopus snacking on Uncrustables, making for a fun festival memory. Comfortable seating and picnic areas nearby ensure that parents can relax while little ones explore.
Beyond Playalong Bay, the festival features its signature topiary displays, showcasing beloved Disney characters made entirely from plants and flowers. Outdoor kitchens provide guests with fresh, garden-inspired dishes, offering flavors that highlight the season’s best produce. The Garden Rocks Concert Series adds another layer of entertainment, featuring live performances from well-known artists throughout the festival’s duration.
Disney World guests can also enjoy the butterfly garden, where hundreds of colorful butterflies create a mesmerizing experience. Additionally, interactive exhibits and gardening workshops allow guests to learn more about horticulture and sustainable gardening practices.
With so much to see and do, the 2025 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is a can’t-miss event for Disney fans and garden enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re exploring Playalong Bay, indulging in delicious festival treats, or soaking in the natural beauty of EPCOT in bloom, this year’s festival promises an unforgettable experience.
