A trip to Walt Disney World always feels like a celebration. With so much to see and do across the parks, resorts, and entertainment areas, it is rare to leave without already dreaming up the next visit. Some trips, though, feel like they have been sprinkled with a little extra Pixie Dust, especially when they line up with one of Disney’s seasonal celebrations.
One of the most beautiful times of year to visit is spring, when EPCOT welcomes the International Flower and Garden Festival. As we say goodbye to those short-lived chilly mornings, the park comes to life with vibrant blooms, playful topiary displays, and a fresh burst of sunshine that feels perfectly in tune with Disney’s storytelling roots. Walking through EPCOT during the festival is a reminder of how seamlessly Disney blends nature, creativity, and nostalgia.
For me, a visit to Flower and Garden also means browsing my favorite seasonal merchandise, especially the garden-inspired homewares and adorable designs featuring characters like Orange Bird. Beyond the sights and shopping, though, this time of year is full of memory-making moments, thanks to the return and debut of special Disney PhotoPass opportunities scattered throughout the park.
Long after we are home and unpacked, it is those photos that bring the magic rushing back. Disney’s PhotoPass makes it easy to get everyone in the picture, capturing shared moments in some truly stunning settings. This spring, there are several new and returning PhotoPass shots to look forward to during the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival, and we are sharing where you can find them on your next visit.
