The EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is one of the most beautiful and colorful events you can experience at Walt Disney World! During this annual spring event, EPCOT transforms into a veritable flower paradise. From March through May, various gardens are filled with beautiful Disney characters made entirely out of flowers. This not only makes for beautiful photos, but also fills the park with a wonderful floral scent.
