Helpful Tips

Check out the topiary displays that are new this year! These include Miguel and Dante from Coco, Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy, and Asha, Valentino, and Star from Wish! The full list of topiary displays and where to find them is here.
Plan your trip around the World Showcase and prioritize the dishes you would like to try, so you don’t fill up too quickly!
As you graze around World Showcase, stop by the Global Gardens in the various pavilions. They each have a different theme to match their locations.
If you don’t feel like carrying around the festival passport, you can refer to the digital version of the festival guide in the My Disney Experience app.
Some of the items are marked as plant-based or gluten-free on the menus. However, if you have other dietary concerns, speak to a cast member before placing your order.
Bring your own bottle of water or a reusable bottle that you can fill at locations like Connections Eatery. The Outdoor Kitchens have bottled water for sale, but most if not all are unable to provide the free cups of ice water you typically find at quick service dining locations.
The Citrus Blossom at the Odyssey is a nice indoor spot with tables and chairs, which is much more comfortable than eating at the traditional EPCOT trash can. Orange Bird fans will also love the merchandise here!
For a guaranteed seat to a Garden Rocks Concert Series performance, you can reserve a Garden Rocks Dining Package that includes a meal at a select EPCOT restaurant and reserved seating at American Gardens Theatre.
If you prefer to get a same-day dining package for guaranteed Garden Rocks seats, visit Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue. No reservations are needed!
