This year, the Flower and Garden festival takes place from March 2 through July 4. Gardeners will marvel at thousands of blooms forming colorful, living panoramas all around EPCOT, and the entire family can experience the Health Full Trail presented by AdventHealth. This trail is located along the Imagination walkway. On the trail you can learn tips for staying well.

Fresh flavors are on the menu at the festival’s 18 Outdoor Kitchens, as well as other food and beverage locations around EPCOT. They will offer a fresh selection of springtime fruits, vegetables, desserts and more. Menus were just released for the kitchens and you can find those HERE.

Festivals in EPCOT offer amazing food choices, interactive experiences for Guests, and of course great merchandise lines as well. Earlier we shared 5 great merchandise collections will be available at this year’s festival. You can read all about this great merchandise HERE.

Last week, Disney Parks shared a video of the adorable Orange Bird merchandise that Guests can purchase at the Flower and Garden Festival this year. Check out this great collection:

I’m (Donna) not sure about you, but one item caught my eye right away. Check out those adorable Orange Bird Ears. With translucent orange slices for ears, these were high on my wish list to purchase. Unfortunately as Guests entered EPCOT today, they discovered that these ears are unavailable.

At this time the Orange Bird ears are not available for purchase. It appears that these were delayed and will join the festival merchandise line in the coming weeks.
