SKIP the EPCOT Crowds and Shop the Flower & Garden Merch HERE Instead!

The EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is a colorful, tasty, and (of course) floral event — but it can also bring in some BIG crowds. With so many people all around and a full list of snacks to try, you might not have time to stop and browse the merchandise! Have you ever seen a piece of Disney merch and thought to yourself, “That’s cute, but I’ll buy it later,” but then you ran out of time?

Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot

If your trip around the World Showcase felt like it went by in the blink of an eye, we’ve got some good news! You’ve got MORE opportunities to check out the Flower & Garden Festival merchandise in Disney World WITHOUT stepping foot in EPCOT.

When we visit Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we expect to see characters like Rafiki, Simba, Flik, and the Disco Yeti (he’s sort of a local legend around Mt. Everest). We did NOT expect to see the Orange Bird! This merchandise collection is part of the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, but somehow it ended up at the Discovery Trading Company store in Animal Kingdom.

There may not be any topiaries, but there IS DiVine!

Inside Discovery Trading, we found MORE Flower and Garden Festival items! This pastel-colored “Grow Happiness” collection has a floral gardening theme. It’s perfect for spring!

What’s next — Disneyland merchandise in Disney World?!

Even the Magic Kingdom wanted in on the Flower and Garden Festival action, apparently! The Emporium store on Main Street, U.S.A. has the new Orange Bird button-down shirts, which have been pretty popular so far this year.

This merchandise is all over the place!

In fact, the Emporium had an entire WALL of Orange Bird merchandise! If you missed it at EPCOT, it looks like there are plenty of other places around Disney World to grab some citrus-themed goodies. Disney also has a few of these items online, so check out shopDisney if you want to do a little shopping from home.

Well, this might save you a trip to EPCOT!

Well, at least you have plenty of chances to check out the new merchandise! In the meantime, stay tuned for all the latest Disney news and park updates!
