About the festival

What is the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival?

The EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is Walt Disney World's annual spring celebration of horticulture, nature and seasonal food. Held at EPCOT in Orlando, Florida, it typically runs from late February through late May or early June -- overlapping with Florida's spring bloom season.

The festival is free to experience with standard EPCOT park admission (which is required). The food and beverages at the outdoor kitchen booths are a separate cost, purchased individually at each booth. The festival is one of EPCOT's four flagship annual events, alongside the Food and Wine Festival (fall), the Arts Festival (winter) and the Festival of the Holidays (holiday season).

The outdoor kitchen concept -- walk-up booths with snack-sized portions -- is designed so guests can graze across multiple cuisines throughout the day rather than committing to a full sit-down meal. It is the same format used at EPCOT's Food and Wine Festival, which is the most attended of the four.

Festival drinks

What to drink at the Flower and Garden Festival

The festival's floral-themed cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks are among its most distinctive features. Most booths offer both alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions of signature drinks.

Signature · Color-changing

Violet Lemonade

Made with butterfly pea flower tea -- this lemonade starts blue-purple and turns pink when mixed. One of the festival's most photographed items. Usually available alcoholic (with vodka) and non-alcoholic.

Shareable flight

Spring Mimosa Flight

Three mini mimosas poured over seasonal fruit purees -- mango, passion fruit and raspberry. A social, shareable way to try multiple flavors. Presented on a small wooden flight board.

Frozen refresher

Frozen Strawberry Basil Lemonade

Fresh basil syrup and strawberry frozen lemonade. Available with or without vodka. A crowd-pleaser on warm spring afternoons -- and Florida in April is warm.

Savory sip

Garden Bloody Mary

Vodka Bloody Mary garnished with pickled garden vegetables. More interesting than a standard Bloody Mary -- the garnish changes year to year with what's in season at the festival garden.

Bubbly

Sparkling Rose

A glass of chilled sparkling rose wine. Simple, available at multiple booths, and one of the fastest orders when lines are long.

Beer option

Craft Beer Flight

A four-pour flight of seasonal craft beers curated for the festival. Selections change annually. Usually includes at least one light spring lager and one seasonal ale.

Non-alcoholic options. All festival locations carry non-alcoholic beverages -- water, specialty lemonades, sparkling water and festival soft drinks. The Violet Lemonade and Frozen Strawberry Basil Lemonade are both available without alcohol. Family-friendly booths carry kids cups and juice options.
Dietary options

Vegetarian, vegan and allergy-friendly options at the festival

The Flower and Garden Festival's garden-and-nature theme makes it naturally vegetarian-forward. Most booths offer at least one meat-free option; several booths are largely plant-based.

Vegan options exist but are less consistent -- check the allergen icons posted at each booth or ask a cast member. Gluten-free options are also available at select booths; EPCOT does not operate a certified gluten-free kitchen, so cross-contact risk applies for serious allergies.

For guests with life-threatening allergies, speak directly to a chef at the booth before ordering. Disney cast members are trained to escalate dietary concerns to the kitchen lead.

  • Vegetarian-forward booth: Garden Graze (Impossible Meatball, grain bowls, hummus)
  • Plant-based items: Spring Pea Hummus, Vegetable Spring Rolls, Seasonal Grain Bowl
  • Vegan drinks: Violet Lemonade (non-alcoholic), Festival Lemonade, sparkling water
  • Gluten-free-ish: Some items at select booths -- confirm cross-contact with cast member
  • Kids: Veggie Cup, non-alcoholic lemonades, kids portions at select booths
  • Allergen icons: Posted at every booth on the printed menu board
Visitor tips

How to make the most of the outdoor kitchens at Flower and Garden Festival

Timing

Go on a weekday, early or late

Spring break weeks (mid-March to mid-April) and weekends drive the highest crowd levels. Weekday visits and arriving at park open or in the last 2 hours before close means shorter booth lines and more comfortable temperatures.

Strategy

Graze across multiple booths

Portions are intentionally snack-sized so you can try 4-8 items across different booths in a single visit. Budget around $40-$80 per person for a solid grazing experience -- Disney's app lets you browse the full booth map before your visit.

Free activities

The topiaries are free to photograph

The large Disney character topiaries (Mickey, Minnie, Figment and others) are scattered throughout EPCOT and completely free to view and photograph with your park admission. Plan a self-guided topiary walk as part of your route.

Evening

Stay for Garden Rocks concerts

The Garden Rocks Concert Series runs nightly in the America Gardens Theatre and is included with EPCOT admission. No separate ticket is required. Check the Disney website for the annual performer lineup -- announced about 30 days before the festival opens.

Pricing

Check prices in My Disney Experience

Disney does not publish advance price lists for outdoor kitchen items. The My Disney Experience app (Disney's official mobile app) posts booth menus with current prices about 1-2 weeks before the festival opens each year. That is the most reliable pre-visit pricing source.

Merch

Buy festival merch early

Annual Flower and Garden Festival merchandise -- Figment-themed items, garden mugs, apparel -- frequently sells out within the first 2-3 weeks of the festival. If you want specific pieces, shop on opening day or the first weekend.

Common questions

EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival -- frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the most common questions about the festival, outdoor kitchen pricing, dietary options and what to expect on your visit.

When does the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival happen?

The EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival typically runs from late February through late May or early June each year. Exact dates shift slightly season to season -- the 2025 festival ran from February 26 through June 2. Check disneyworld.disney.go.com for the current year's official dates before planning your visit.

Is the food at the Flower and Garden Festival included with park admission?

Park admission to EPCOT is required to attend the festival, but outdoor kitchen food and beverages are not included with general admission -- they are purchased separately at each booth. Individual snack-sized items typically range from around $5 to $14 each; alcoholic beverages are priced comparably to the rest of EPCOT's World Showcase offerings. Disney Dining Plans (when available) may cover select items -- confirm with Disney before your visit.

How much does food cost at the Flower and Garden Festival outdoor kitchens?

Disney sets pricing seasonally and does not publish a full advance price list. Historically, snack-sized food items have ranged from roughly $5 to $14 per portion, with desserts and drinks falling in a similar range. Alcoholic beverages typically run $9 to $15+. Prices can change year to year and vary by booth. The best source for current prices is Disney's official app (My Disney Experience) or the menus posted at each booth on the day of your visit.

How many outdoor kitchen booths are at the Flower and Garden Festival?

The number of booths varies each year. Recent festivals have featured approximately 15 to 20 outdoor kitchen booths spread across EPCOT's World Showcase and Future World/World Discovery areas. Some booths are permanent fixtures from year to year; others rotate in and out. Disney publishes the full booth map closer to each festival's opening date.

Are there vegetarian and vegan options at the Flower and Garden Festival?

Yes -- the festival's garden-and-nature theme makes it one of the most vegetarian-friendly food events at Disney World. Most booths offer at least one vegetarian item, and several booths are entirely plant-forward. Vegan options are also available, though the selection is smaller. Look for the dedicated allergen and dietary icons on each booth's posted menu. Guests with specific allergies should ask a cast member at the booth for allergen information before ordering.

Do I need a reservation for the outdoor kitchen booths?

No reservations are required for the outdoor kitchen booths -- they operate as walk-up, order-at-the-window venues. Some booths can develop long lines during peak weekend afternoons; visiting on a weekday or arriving early (park open) or late (last two hours before close) typically means shorter waits. The Garden Rocks Concert Series performances (evenings, included with admission) draw crowds in the America Gardens Theatre area.

What are the best items to try at the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival?

Festival fan favorites that return most years include the Carrot Cake Push Pop, the Violet Lemonade (butterfly pea flower, turns pink), the Frozen Strawberry Basil Lemonade, and the Spring Mimosa Flight. Garden Graze's plant-based options and the Korea or Japan-inspired global marketplace booths consistently draw high marks. Because menus change each year, checking Disney fan-community reviews posted after the festival opens is the best way to find the current year's standouts.

Is the Flower and Garden Festival worth it for families with kids?

Yes -- the festival's garden theme includes large Disney character topiaries (Mickey, Minnie, Figment and others) that are free to photograph and walk through with park admission. Kids' menu items and non-alcoholic drinks are available at most booths. The Garden Rocks Concert Series (evenings, no separate ticket needed beyond park admission) adds family entertainment. The festival runs during spring break overlap, so weekends in late March and April are typically the most crowded.

Can you visit EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival without buying food?

Yes. The topiaries, butterfly gardens, guided horticulture tours and floral displays are all included with standard EPCOT admission -- no food purchase is required to experience the visual and horticultural elements of the festival. The Garden Rocks Concert Series is also included with admission. Only the outdoor kitchen food and beverages require a separate purchase.
