I had the pleasure of checking out the Flower and Garden Festival last week at Epcot and it was absolutely stunning! The beautiful works of art they create with the topiaries is really something to see. I made sure to snap a lot of photos so that I could share it with you. If you will not be able to make it to Epcot before the Festival ends on May 28th, 2018, then this post will give you a peek as to what it has to offer.
Future World
The beautiful gardens begin as soon as you enter the park. Right after you enter the gates, you’ll have the opportunity to take a great picture with Spaceship Earth in the background. There are usually always Photopass photographers stationed there, so if you have Memory Maker, make sure to take advantage here and ask them which Magic Shots they can offer.
Most of the topiaries are in the World Showcase, but Future World has some pretty spectacular gardens to look at and they make for some amazing photos.
Flower & Garden Merchandise
You’ll find merchandise themed after the festival at most of the shops. On the walkway after the fountains that leads from Future World to the World Showcase, you will find some stands dedicated to just Festival Merchandise. Here are some of the items we came across. My favourite are the Mickey Ears and special Magicband.
As you can see the Magicband above is a limited edition and they only produced 2000 copies. Not sure how much longer this one will be available. Hopefully, they will continue to come out with other designs once this one sells out.
World Showcase
The World Showcase area is where you will find most of the topiaries. They have some beautiful ones that are themed after their beloved Disney characters. Here are just a few I was able to photograph:
If you are a Disney World Passholder, then you can pick up a free magnet in the building right next to the butterfly tent. They are now offering a free green magnet with Mickey Mouse on it, which will be available until April 8th. From April 9th to May 28th, they will be offering a purple magnet with Minnie Mouse on it. Here is the one that is currently available:
The Festival is definitely worth a visit, a great celebration of Spring! If you can make it to Epcot before May 28th, make sure to take your time to walk around and enjoy the views 🙂

Epcot is my favorite of all the Disney places to visit. The flower gardens can’t be described they are so beautiful.
We were just there at the beginning of February when they were starting to set up for it! The photos look beautiful and I love those ears. Maybe one year we’ll make it to the festival!
I had no idea that they have a flower festival at Epcot. It is so beautiful, and I love the additional merchandise.
II was coincidentally there a few years ago for this and loved it! It was so gorgeous!
