Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival is all about the senses. Before moving to Florida, we had only visited in March and a few times in April. When Walt Disney World invited us to spend a Saturday in May at the Flower and Garden Festival, we were very excited.

Sadly, it rained most of the day. But that’s Florida for you.

Always be prepared for rain.

We still had a great day. Thanks for hosting us, Walt Disney World!

What are the activities for kids?

Don’t think that the Festival is just for adults. There is plenty for kids to do too!

Bo Peep’s Playtime Training Grounds, near Test Track, and Play Full Garden, located on the Imagination Walkway, are our favorites. It allows the kids to get their wiggles out and a chance for the adults to sit and rest for a bit. The Gardens are beautiful and even have an area for mindfulness, which is a great place to sit when feeling overstimulated.

Spike’s Pollen Nation Exploration is a great way to let the kids be involved in your visit. We buy each child a map and they are in charge of putting their stickers on the right space. It’s a team effort as we walk together through World Showcase to find Spike and find his flower. We learned a lot about flowers along the way too.

The Goodness Garden Butterfly House – Presented by GoGo squeeZ is another favorite area the whole family loves. Walking through the butterfly house is always lovely. The flowers are gorgeous and the kids love looking on the leaves for butterfly eggs, as well as sticking out their finger in hopes of it becoming the landing ground for a beautiful butterfly.
