EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival

March 5 - June 2, 2025

One of the most welcome signs of spring is EPCOT's annual International Flower & Garden Festival, and 2025 is the 30th Anniversary of the event! While the grounds at EPCOT are always beautiful, the Flower and Garden Festival takes them to the next level and everywhere you look, the park is bursting with colorful blooms. Take in the sights and sounds of the festival with a bouquet of spirited entertainment options. A plethora of Disney character topiaries, including classic-character favorites Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and many others, play a starring role each year in the festival. Belle is typically featured in the France pavilion along with Beast, you'll find Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in Germany, and Anna and Elsa can be found in the Norway pavilion. Explore a new Moana-themed topiary display, vibrant new gardens inspired by fashion, playtime, and Inside Out 2—plus the exciting return of Phineas and Ferb topiaries!

Perennial Flower and Garden favorites such as the English Tea Garden, Butterfly Garden, and special kids' activities can be seen at the festival as well. Illuminated topiary and play gardens light up at night for a different festival experience.

Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration family scavenger hunt activity returns in 2025. Explore the Festival and keep an eye out for Spike as he pollinates Epcot’s gardens. In each garden, you’ll need to search for the plant Spike has pollinated, identifiable by Spike himself and a Spike’s Pollen Nation Exploration plant stake. Once you find him, add the corresponding sticker to your map. Once your map is full of stickers, your journey is complete and you can return your map to Disney Traders or World Traveler for a special surprise. Maps and stickers for Spike’s Pollen Nation Exploration are available for sale at select merchandise locations for $9.99 plus tax. Guests can commemorate their scavenger hunt experience with select merchandise offerings featuring everyone’s favorite honey bee, Spike.

Don't forget to pick up one of the special gift cards that are created for this event too! They're tiny and are attached to a bracelet made out of what looks like an old telephone cord, making it easy to wear it on your wrist for quick and easy scanning!

Making its debut during the 2025 festival is a new Inside Out topiary display. Greeting guests in the main entrance of EPCOT are new topiaries from Disney's Moana. Be sure to stop back by this display in the evening as it's beautifully lit at nighttime!

More than 200,000 bedding plants are added to the gardens of EPCOT for the festival, including an additional 60,000 bedding plants that create the iconic floral designs that make up the World Celebration East & West Lakes. The Dragon topiary, located in the Japan pavilion, is composed of sun-loving succulent plants, adding bursts of colors to the nearly 20-foot-long display.  

Because the festival is celebrated across two seasons, plant displays also evolve with the weather, making for true seasonal beauty and detail. Guests visiting during both spring and summer months may see new selections as the season changes.

All of the incredible topiaries have been cultivated with care by Disney horticulturists. Look below to see where the 2025 displays are located.
