Fans of the Walt Disney World Resort will be happy to learn about the latest details being revealed for both the 2024 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival and The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort.

At this year’s International Flower & Garden Festival at EPCOT, running between February 28 and May 27, Groot will appear near Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in World Discovery.

In addition, more than 70 topiaries, featuring a delightful array of Disney characters, will fill the park, while the park’s main entrance will be adorned with new topiaries from the new film Wish, including themed designs based on Asha, Valentino and the Wishing Star.

The Garden Rocks concert series will also return to the American Gardens Theatre stage this year. The daily shows will feature locally and globally recognized acts, including Modern English, Crowder, Lit, Monsieur Perine, and more. 

To guarantee priority seating for Garden Rocks concert series performances, be sure to check out Dining Packages, available at seven EPCOT restaurants, starting on February 6.

For those visiting Disney who want a more rustic experience, the newest Disney Vacation Club property, The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort, Phase 1 of the property will open to the public on July 1, while Phase 2 is scheduled to open later the same month.

Existing Disney Vacation Club members can book a stay at The Cabins, beginning on February 1, while the general public can start planning stays at the property on February 27. The property will feature several marquee activities, including the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, the Tri-Circle D Ranch, Chip ‘n’ Dale’s Campfire Sing-Along and more.
