EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival Opens Tomorrow With Toy Story Entrance, New Gardens and 24 Food Booths

The spring event runs March 4 to June 1 as new topiaries, published menus, posted schedules and a wildlife crossing garden arrive across the park.

Overview

  • Disney has installed a Toy Story–themed main entrance display celebrating the June 19 Toy Story 5 release, featuring Woody, Buzz, Bo Peep with her sheep, Lotso and the Pixar ball.
  • The in‑park festival map is posted and lists 24 Outdoor Kitchens, with full booth menus and prices published ahead of opening.
  • New horticultural additions include a Hoppers‑inspired Wildlife Crossing Garden between CommuniCore Hall and The Land Pavilion and a Monsters University vignette in World Celebration.
  • Outlets note Sulley’s new topiary currently appears slimmer in early photos, and they report topiaries typically fill out as plantings bloom over the season.
  • Entertainment and activities are posted on festival signage, including Garden Rocks showtimes, Tuesday 9:30 a.m. Monarch Butterfly research sessions, Purple Martin presentations on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 1 p.m., and the return of Spike’s $11.99 scavenger hunt.
