EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival is one of the most stunning events at Walt Disney World. With larger-than-life Disney character topiaries, vibrant floral displays, butterfly gardens, outdoor kitchens, and live entertainment, it’s a must-visit for any Disney fan. With over 30 million blooms, it’s hands down the most breathtaking festival at Disney!
If you’re heading to the festival, packing the right essentials can make all the difference. Here are a few underrated but super useful items to bring—so you can enjoy the festival like a pro!
Disney’s paper straws and frozen drinks don’t mix well. If you’ve ever tried to sip a frozen coke through one, you know the struggle. With so many delicious festival drinks to try, a reusable silicone or metal straw will save you from dealing with a soggy mess.
Festival food means lots of small plates, and if you’d rather skip the disposable cutlery, bring your own reusable utensils. A lightweight set with a case is easy to carry and makes grabbing your next bite even easier.
Hand sanitizer is great, but wet wipes are a lifesaver. Whether you need to clean up after a messy snack or wipe down a festival table, you’ll be glad you packed them.
4. Portable Fan
Spring in Florida can range from warm to hot, and standing in line for festival booths can feel even hotter. A handheld or neck fan will keep you cool while you explore, making the whole experience way more comfortable.
5. Allergy Medicine
Springtime at EPCOT means pollen season is in full swing. If you have seasonal allergies, the combination of blooming flowers, fresh-cut grass, and outdoor dining could leave you sneezing through the magic. Bring your go-to allergy medicine so you can enjoy the festival without any interruptions.
Tried one too many festival dishes? Don’t toss your leftovers! A small food container or resealable bags are perfect for saving extra bites to enjoy later—whether you need a snack while waiting for the bus or back at your resort. Just don't bring anything made of glass! I love that these containers have sections, so you can pack more than one item in there. Genius!
That’s it! Pack these essentials, and you’ll be set for an amazing day at EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival.
