Many travelers are excited to pack their bags and hit the road or skies in pursuit of magical fun in Orlando each year. Home to Disney World Resort and theme parks, Orlando is a place where it’s easy to make lifelong memories alongside family, friends, and of course, your favorite Disney characters too! While a Disney-themed getaway in this direction is a treat any time of year, those who make their way to Orlando in the spring and summer are just in time to enjoy the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival 2023. This annual event is always highly anticipated by locals and visitors alike. In 2023, Epcot’s International Flower and Garden Festival is on from March 1 through July 5, offering visitors a chance to experience the park in full bloom and at its very best!
