Spring Starts in Full Bloom
The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival 2027 returns to EPCOT® on March 10, 2027, and runs through May 31. Each spring, the park fills with color as character topiaries, vibrant gardens, and seasonal flavors take over World Showcase and beyond.
With the festival a few months away, now is a good time to start planning a spring visit.
What to Look Forward To
Character topiaries and gardens are the signature of the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival 2027. Familiar faces take shape in leaves and blooms throughout the park, and each one makes for a memorable photo stop against the backdrop of Spaceship Earth.
The festival’s Outdoor Kitchens return with garden-fresh dishes and seasonal sips, including returning favorites alongside new additions. Spots like The Citrus Blossom, a nod to the beloved Orange Bird, make it easy to taste your way through the park between gardens.
Evenings bring the Garden Rocks Concert Series back to the America Gardens Theatre, with a mix of national artists and Orlando-area talent. Concerts are included with EPCOT admission, and seating is first-come, first-served. Disney will share the full performer lineup, dining package details, and the festival Foodie Guide closer to opening.
Stay Close to the Bloom
As an Official Walt Disney World® Hotel, Renaissance Orlando Resort – Disney Springs® Area offers Early Theme Park Entry every day of your stay, a quiet head start on the gardens before the park fills in. Our complimentary shuttle runs to EPCOT and the rest of the Walt Disney World® theme parks, starting about 90 minutes before park opening.
After a day among the flowers, our reimagined rooms and suites and the rest of the resort are waiting back on property, with Disney Springs® just a short walk away.
Tips for Making the Most of the Festival
Arrive early to see the topiaries in soft morning light, before the walkways fill in. Early Theme Park Entry and our shuttle make that easy. Pace the Outdoor Kitchens by sharing small plates as you stroll World Showcase, so you can sample more booths without overdoing it. Plan an evening around a Garden Rocks concert at the America Gardens Theatre, and arrive early, since seating is first-come, first-served. Keep an eye out for the festival Foodie Guide, which Disney will share closer to opening and which makes it easy to map out your favorites.
