Playalong Bay Arrives at EPCOT Ahead of the 2025 Flower & Garden Festival
The 2025 Flower & Garden Festival will kick off at EPCOT in just a few days, and we at MickeyBlog could not be more excited!
From March 5 through June 2, EPCOT will bloom with horticultural displays, beautiful flower beds, new merchandise, and, of course, plenty of food.
Over the past few days, we have seen an increasing number of topiaries, booths, and flower beds arrive at EPCOT as Disney prepares to kick off this year’s festivities.

Mickey & Friends Picnic Topiary – 2025 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival
Now, I am thrilled to announce that a new addition to the Flower & Garden Festival has begun to take shape before our eyes!
Playalong Bay Has Arrived
Playalong Bay, the new playground inspired by the iconic pool at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club has officially been installed at EPCOT.

A new playground called Playalong Bay will debut at this year’s Flower & Garden Festival.
Sponsored by Uncrustables, the playground will be flanked by two new food booths- Beach Grub and Yacht Grub!
As you can see, Playalong Bay is currently covered by green netting.
A really fun sign, however, does advertise what is to come. Best of all — it doubles as a photo op!
The sign features a cranky crab and an adorable octopus enjoying some Uncrustables together.
In the background, the Yacht & Beach Club lighthouse can be seen.
While Playalong Bay’s final form remains to be seen, we won’t have to wait too much longer. The 2025 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival will officially kick off on March 5.
As always, be sure to check back with MickeyBlog. We will continue to bring you updates as the Flower & Garden Festival gets underway at EPCOT!
