Spring Into EPCOT’S

Spring is bursting with colorful possibilities. What better place to indulge your senses than Walt Disney World’s EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival from now through July 5.

EPCOT’s flower and garden festival’s beautiful blooms and lush foliage are mixed with amazing culinary springtime delights. Outdoor kitchens dot the World Showcases offering small plates. One might find Ravioli alla Boscaiola, a sweet sausage ravioli with sweet corn, spring vegetables, and cream sauce in Italy’s outdoor kitchen. Drink a glass of pure liquid sunshine at the Pineapple Promenade.

These culinary delights and more were served at the 2022 festival, but be on the lookout for returning favorites and new additions for this spring. Every year, Disney Chefs craft special spring-inspired festival menu items (many only available during the festival). Guests can sample an appetizer in Italy, a drink in Japan, and then dessert in France– all while dining near blue lagoons and gardens. These are no ordinary gardens either, they’re Disney style.

Youthful spring optimism takes place around every corner– like the Snow White topiary in the Germany Pavilion. With the lagoon in the background, deep emerald and spring green sculpted shrubbery make it look as though Snow White is dancing. Not far behind, the dwarf topiaries march surrounded with saturated hues of pinks and purples spilling out of every crevice. These character topiaries are scattered throughout EPCOT’s World Showcase. And if you’re inclined to learn more about how these horticulturists sculpt living plants into art, there are additional behind-the-scenes tours. Or just stroll the lands, and indulge in the kaleidoscopic colors. Pockets of color that inspire home gardeners can be found with honey bee and butterfly gardens as well.

Since the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival began in 1994, the festival literally keeps growing. Today guests can be swept into millions of blooms and dozens of themed topiaries–all
