Crowds Are Buzzing for the First Day of the 2024 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
Good morning everyone, and welcome to the FIRST day of the 2024 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival!
As always, your MickeyBloggers will be here and reporting LIVE from the park all day, showcasing all the best entertainment, experiences, treats, merch, and more that the event has to offer. We’re so glad to have you join us — it’s going to be a great day!
Crowds
This morning, our reporters arrived bright and early at the park, and we’re sure glad we did!
As you can see from our photos, the first day of the festival has drawn huge crowds of green-fingered guests, all ready to experience the most magically floral event of the season!
Yep, that’s a lot of people!
Merchandise will always draw the biggest crowds, with Creations Shop all a-buzz with guests stopping to admire the must-have items for the event. Be sure to stay tuned to MickeyBlog, as we’ll be giving you a full look at all the pieces on offer!

To cope with crowding, Cast Members are on hand to help organize guests in a strict queue system, making sure everything is nice and in order for maximum enjoyment.
Of course, as with any EPCOT festival, a large focus is on the outdoor marketplace kitchens, which are sure to draw big crowds throughout the event.
However, since these will open later today with the rest of the World Showcase, the festival crowds are instead going to be focusing on attractions open through the morning, such as the Butterfly Landing garden and the pretty topiary displays dotted across the front half of the park.
We’ll look forward to exploring everything throughout the day – just once we make it out of this big entrance crowd!
So, there we have it!
Are you going to be a part of the crowds during this year’s EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival? If so, we hope you have a wonderful time, and be sure to stay tuned to MickeyBlog for all the best hints, tips, and tricks to make the most out of your visit. Enjoy!
