Spring is right around the corner, and EPCOT is getting ready to show off.
The 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival returns March 4 through June 1, 2026, bringing nearly three months of fresh flavors, colorful topiaries, live music, and seasonal merchandise to Walt Disney World. With new details now released, it’s clear this year’s celebration will once again transform the park into a living, blooming showcase.
Guests can expect more than 60 Disney-inspired topiaries scattered throughout World Celebration, World Discovery, World Nature, and World Showcase. As soon as you enter the park, you’ll spot Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Bo Peep and her Sheep, Lotso, and the Pixar Ball. Elsewhere, fan favorites like Stitch, Mike Wazowski and Sulley, and Lightning McQueen and Mater pop up in garden form across EPCOT.
In addition to the character displays, more than 31 gardens and floral exhibits will be featured throughout the park, offering guests the chance to slow down and take in Disney’s signature horticulture.
One returning highlight is Spike’s Garden, which takes on a different personality after dark. As evening falls, elements of the garden shift with glowing fireflies and moonlit blooms that add a subtle nighttime twist to the daytime experience.
New Festival Merchandise
Festival merchandise is also taking center stage this year, with returning favorites and new collections.
The Orange Bird Collection brings bright colors and playful designs, including seasonal Minnie ears with a detachable bow for a customizable look.
Midway through the festival, the Vintage Orange Bird button-up shirt will debut, featuring multiple expressive versions of the citrus icon.
Spike the Bee also gets his moment in the spotlight with a new Loungefly backpack designed to carry all your park-day essentials.
And if you’re a fan of Wonderland whimsy, an Alice in Wonderland Collection will join the lineup during the festival run.
PhotoPass and Festival Fun
Throughout EPCOT, Disney PhotoPass photographers will offer nearly 20 festival-themed props and Magic Shots. From fairy wings to floating fruit, guests can ask photographers about available enhancements at each location.
Between the Outdoor Kitchens, Garden Rocks Concert Series, and colorful displays around every corner, the 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival promises another vibrant spring season at Walt Disney World.
