The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is one of Walt Disney World's most anticipated seasonal events. Hosted annually each spring, the festival runs for four months from March 4 to July 4, 2025, and transforms EPCOT into a blooming celebration of gardens, topiaries, food, and entertainment.

It's an immersive event for all ages and a perfect addition to any DVC member's spring itinerary. While most of the offerings are included with regular park admission, some specialty events and tours do require an extra fee.

Highlights of the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival

Outdoor Kitchens and Food Booths

The festival's themed food booths, also known as Outdoor Kitchens, showcase fresh, garden-inspired dishes with international flair. Guests can try items like:

  • Toasted pretzel bread with melted gruyère cheese
  • Mojo pork with plantains
  • Fresh fruit tarts and chocolate desserts

New booths added this year include EPCOT Farmers Feast, Pineapple Promenade, and a reimagined Potato Pancake station. Prices vary per item, but sampling your way around World Showcase is a must for any foodie.

Mitzi and I couldn't have had a more positive experience as the one which we had, in selling some of our DVC points through DVC Sales with Mark and Lori Webb. and their staff. The whole process was transparent, seamless and we were being fully briefed as to the. progress. Thanks to Mark we were kept aware as to what was happening with the listing, with the ROFR bu Disney, and with the closing process completed, all in a short months' time. We couldn't have asked for a better group than DVC Sales for the sale. they were honest . amd truly caring on our behalf. Mitzi and Lee Tucholski

Just sold some of my points and Mark and Lori were wonderful. I’m very, very happy with the experience. I got an excellent price and now someone else gets to enjoy just a bit more of DVC. The website is great to work with too. I will always use DVC Sales and encourage you to do the same.

Foreign sellers, beware; they will not provide correct information to you about what you can expect when selling. They also, at the end of the process, hit you with fees you did not expect, and you are too late to do anything about it.

I could not imagine being happier with my experience using DVC Sales to sell our Old Key West membership. We enjoyed so many years of Disney vacations. While on your website I started a chat that turned into a call with Lori. She took the time to explain how the website works. Within a few minutes I had created my account and listed my membership for sale. Within 3-4 weeks we received an offer and sold our membership. Thankyou Lori and DVC Sales!

Mark, today we have just received the last check for our 4th contract you sold for us. Our experience was outstanding you deserve the acknowledgement for your service. You remind me of the way customers were treated years ago. Everybody we spoke with or chatted online was friendly and helpful. Although the process took a few months, it was worth the wait. We hope the families who purchased on contracts have as much enjoyment as we have had. If anyone is looking to buy or sell a DVC membership you can use our name. Thank you again!
