Outdoor Kitchens

The food booths at Flower and Garden are referred to as outdoor kitchens by Disney, and they are everywhere around the park. Most especially in World Showcase.

Each kitchen offers a menu of themed food and beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Most booths will have 2-3 food items and at least 3 specialty drinks, usually more.

Tips for Tasting the Festival

There are sixteen outdoor kitchens during the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival. That is a lot of options and a LOT to eat. Here are a few tips for the best trip!

Space the Festival Over Multiple Days

I think of Epcot as the food court of Disney World. By far it is the best park to eat at on property. So make the most of it! If you have a park hopper, plan to spend a long lunch luxuriating around World Showcase.

Make a List

There are more than 60 new menu items in 2024. That means there was already more than that many options, and now there are more. Check out the menus (below) and write down anything that really jumps out at you.

Go with a Group

With that many choices you want to try as much as you can! Portions are already economically sized, but if you visit with a small group you can share items (and costs) so you’re able to try more.

Look for Fun

There is so much to do at the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival. The food isa HUGE part of it but there’s also a live concert series called Garden Rocks, a scavenger hunt, and plenty to see.

Guess what’s blooming at Epcot this spring? If you’re thinking about the stunning flower displays and mouth-watering food booths, you’re half right. But there’s more! The Garden Rocks Concert Series is making a comeback, and it’s going to be music to your ears—literally!

What’s the Garden Rocks Concert Series?

Imagine swaying to live music under the stars, surrounded by the most beautiful gardens and topiaries. That’s the Garden Rocks Concert Series for you! It’s a part of the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, where bands and artists from various genres come together to perform. From rock and roll to pop to country, there’s a beat for every music lover.

The Lineup

We’re continually shocked by the performers that turn up each year! From Simple Plan to The Plain White T’s, Rick Springfield, and more! Bands that many of us grew up with, and paid far too much money to see touring, just burning up the stage at Epcot. These world renown artists are scheduled during weekends (Friday through Monday), with local performers taking the floor the rest of the week (Tuesday through Thursday)

Noticeably absent from the lineup this year, however, are Boyz II Men and Joey Fatone and Friends (which usually includes Lance Bass among others). Fingers crossed it’s because they’re going on tour again.

How to Catch the Concerts

Performances take place three times per night at the America Gardens Theater, near the American Adventure pavilion in World Showcase. You can usually catch performances at 5:30 p.m., 6:45 p.m., and 8:00 p.m. Be sure to check the times guide on the day you are visiting though.

During the week, for regional performances, guest may begin lining up about an hour before each performance. That’s normally earlier enough to beat the weekday crowds that tend to be lighter in the Spring. But when a big name is scheduled during the weekend, there will also be big crowds and big competition to get a seat.

Garden Rocks Dining Package

Returning for the 2024, the Garden Rocks Dining Package! Available at popular eateries around Epcot, book the Dining Package to enjoy a meal and guarantee yourself a seat for a performance on the same day.

• Each dining package includes: appetizer, entrée and dessert OR a full buffet (where applicable), as well as one nonalcoholic beverage
• Spice Road Table Package Includes: 2 small plates, a shared tagine, a shared dessert platter and a nonalcoholic beverage

Show times can be selected while booking your reservations. Upon arrival to your meal a Garden Rocks seating badge will be provided to each guest who purchased the Dining Package. One seat per meal purchased.

While you will be guaranteed a chair, seating is still provided on a first come first serve basis. Meaning, you will still need to join a queue and your choice of seating will be impacted by your place in line. If you want to be in the front row, you’ll want to be in the front of the line.

Participating Dining Package Location

Making the Most of Your Visit

To make your day extra special, here are a few tips:

• Arrive Early: Epcot is a treasure trove of beauty during the festival. Give yourself plenty of time to explore the gardens, try the food, and find your concert spot.
• Explore Everything: The butterfly garden and the outdoor kitchens, there’s so much to see and do. Make a day of it!
• Pick a Good Spot: If you’re going the standby route, find a spot where you can enjoy the music and maybe even catch a glimpse of the fireworks later.

Why You Can’t Miss It

There’s something truly magical about listening to live music in the heart of Epcot. The energy, the people, and the sheer beauty of it all make for an unforgettable experience. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to create special memories with your friends and family.

The Garden Rocks Concert Series is a highlight of the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, and this year’s lineup is shaping up to be spectacular. I can’t wait to share more details with you!

Spike’s Pollen Nation Exploration

Back for 2024, this festival scavenger hunt is a must do – especially if you are visiting with kids! Grab your map near the entrance to World Showcase and let the game begin!

Find Spike! He’s been out pollenating the Global Gardens of World Showcase, but he may have gotten a bit lost. Visit each country pavilion and try to find Spike. Once you do, place a sticker on your game map. Once you’ve found them all, return your map for a special prize.

Locations to Purchase a Game Board

• Disney Traders
• World Traders

Prizes for Spike’s Pollen Nation Exploration

Images of the 2024 Pollen Nation prizes have not yet been released by Disney. But here are some of last year’s prizes!

Garden Rocks – Concert Series

As the day starts to wind down, the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival heats up with live entertainment. And this is not your ordinary Disney parks entertainment. Regular park shows and streetmosphere are fantastic, don’t get me wrong.

But the Garden Rocks line up is phenomenal year after year with guests like Boyz II Men, Sugar Ray, and Simple Plan. Not to age myself, but (most of) NSYNC are regulars here. Do you remember how much those concert tickets were when they were touring?

Check out the latest line-up and plan a trip to see your favorites.

Special Tours at Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival

Yes, there is still more to see and do here! Epcot Festivals are truly a multi-day experience, they’re vacation destinations all on their own.

English Garden Tour

Visit the UK pavilion in World Showcase for to learn more about English horticulture with this 30 minute tour. Complimentary for park guests you can enjoy this one on your own, self guided, or alongside fellow guests and led by an information cast member. Check the Disney World parks app or festival guide for specific tour times.

Behind the Seeds Tour

Although not exclusive to the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival, its certainly fits the motif. Behind the seeds is a group tour through four greenhouses of Living with the Land. The experience takes around 60 minutes and costs between $39-45, per person.

Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival Merchandise

No trip to Disney is complete with a bit of merch to prove you were really there, right? You’ll have plenty of options at the Epcot International Flower and Garden festival. With exclusive shirts, popcorn buckets, bags, ears, and more – there’s something for everyone.

In 2024 there are three merch collections available to park guests:

• Orange Bird Collection
• Coco Collection
• Butteflies Collection

Orange Bird? How freaking cute?!

Annual Passholder Collection

Guests who have an active Annual Pass for Disney World will be able to purchase merchandise from a fourth, even more exclusive, collection as well. Images have not yet been released by Disney, but we’ll be sharing them ASAP!
