BIG CHANGE Hits EPCOT Tomorrow!

OK, Disney fans. We’ve got good news, and we’ve got bad news. We’ll start with the good news: it’s almost time for another EPCOT festival! Hope you’re ready for spring because the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is starting in a few days.

This seasonal event is a fan favorite for a reason! The AllEars team is especially looking forward to the new and returning festival food, but there’s a lot more to see and do during the event, so buckle up. But we haven’t forgotten about the bad news. Like it or not, the start of each EPCOT festival invites some BIG crowds to Disney World. You might not realize it, but EPCOT is about to be very busy.

The Flower and Garden Festival runs this year from March 5th to June 2nd, 2025! Look out for some insanely detailed character topiaries and floral displays that transform EPCOT for the spring. Seriously — they made MISS PIGGY out of PLANTS!

Now, we already hinted about some new and returning treats at the festival this year, but what’s at the top of our review list this year? EPCOT’s two new food booths — Yacht Grub and Beach Grub. Here’s a peek at the menus.
