Epcot Flower & Garden Information

[Kiwigirl839]

We are traveling with DD 8 and DS 5 for their first trip. I am thrilled to find out the Flower & Garden is going on (I do floral work on Rose Parade Floats - so I'm a flower/garden enthusiast).

Is it included in your entry ticket to Epcot?

Are all the wonderful foods & drinks priced individually or do you need to buy tickets? Is there any way to find out pricing in advance? Can you use dining plan snack credits?

Any suggestions for viewing the concerts on the weekend - the Village people are slated for the first weekend we are in town.

Any other info or tips to share?

Hi there! I hope to be able to go to the F&G Festival in early May. I have been two other times and it is beautiful! You will love it and so will your kids. They have several special playground areas set up that aren't there the rest of the year. I am not into gardening or yardwork, but I love all of the wonderful topiaries shaped like Disney characters.

The food prices at the booths are all individual and range from around $4 to $6, alcoholic drinks are much more like $9-10. Just about all of the food choices (not alcohol) are eligible for a Snack credit on any of the dining plans.

There are several excellent blogs and websites that have done some great reviews of the entire festival and the food booths in particular including photos and prices.

Yes, it is included in your ticket, but there are seminars you can attend that might be an extra charge.

We like to go to the first concert of the evening because it is less crowded and you can usually get a seat. You can also sit at the tables outside the American Pavilion and hear everything.

They construct playgrounds for the kids to play in. There is a great butterfly house, too, which the kids should like.

I found a website which lists the prices for the food items:

[SnackCredit]

There are no separate "tickets" for the food booths, just pay OOP or use snack credits.
