2025 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
We’re here at EPCOT, checking out everything blooming around the park for this year’s Flower & Garden Festival! Of course, there are tons of festival foods and topiaries–but right now, we’re checking out the new play area!

We’re here at the all-new Playalong Bay Play Garden presented by Smucker’s Uncrustables, located between the Imagination! Pavilion and World Showcase entrance!

The nautical-themed playground takes inspiration from Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts and celebrates “childhood adventures and scenic afternoons spent by the sea.”

Since the area is hosted by Smucker’s Uncrustables, there are plenty of nods to the yummy sandwiches–like the photo spot that turns you into an Uncrustuable-eating octopus…

…the Smucker’s décor…

…and the Smucker’s Uncrustables picnic tables, where guests can eat–or relax–while their tiny explorers play.

Want the lore behind the new play area? You’re in luck–“The Legend of Playalong Bay” is posted in the area, teaching guests about S.S. Smucker’s–which obviously fell victim to a flooding of creamy peanut butter and fruity jam. After the sailors abandoned ship, the wreckage remained untouched…until now! That’s right–they turned the shipwreck into what we now know as Playalong Bay!

The play area brings guests aged 2-5 into an adventure on the high seas, with plenty of places to climb, swing, and explore!

And because it is the Flower & Garden Festival, there are beautiful plants placed throughout the location with signs providing their names.

Yacht Grub and Beach Grub
Did all that playing work up an appetite? If so–no worries! There are two new outdoor kitchens, Yacht Grub and Beach Grub, nearby! (Yes–their names also play on the connection to the resort hotel.)
