It’s important to note that based off of the reopen Florida tasks forces guidelines we do expect the park experiences to be different for the foreseeable future.
The Disney Flower and Garden Festival is an annual event that takes place in Epcot park and has been in bloom since 1994. Every year, the park is bursting with color and incredible sculptures made from hundreds and thousands of different types of flowers. It marks as one of the highlights of spring in Walt Disney World.
This Epcot Garden Festival takes a full year and about 400 Walt Disney World cast members to prepare for. All of this hard work for the 90-day Flower and Garden Festival. For this reason the Epcot Flower and Garden 2021 dates are very similar to past years.
In outcome, there are about 30-million blooms, 240 floating flower planters, 700 gardens, almost 100 incredible Disney character topiaries, 30 flower towers, and a butterfly tapestry of flowers. This is what creates a spectacular spring.
Although the dates for the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival 2021 have not been released yet based on previous years below is what we predict.
The 2021 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival will take place for approximately 90 days. The Disney Flower and Garden 2021 Dates are from March 3rd through July 5th, 2021.
(If you haven’t booked your trip yet, have no fear! We can help get you pick the best time to visit no matter what your budget or unique vacation needs.)
