Happy Spring, DFB readers!

EPCOT

Well, it feels like spring is coming where we are — the temperatures are warming up and the pollen is starting to come back in full force, which means we’re buying lots of tissues at the store. It also means that EPCOT is well underway celebrating the Flower & Garden Festival! If you’re heading to the park soon to celebrate it, though, we need to warn you — something has CHANGED.

While you’re exploring all the food and beautiful topiaries the festival has to offer, you can also pay $9.99 to play a super fun (and adorable) scavenger hunt — Spike’s Pollen Nation Exploration!

Spike’s Pollen Nation Exploration Map

We played the game on the first day of the festival, and when we returned our game board, our prize was getting to choose a miniature game of corn hole. You had your choice between sets featuring Spike the Bee, Coco, EPCOT logo, or Orange Bird.

Mini Corn Hole

We LOVED this prize, but now it’s CHANGED! Now if you complete the scavenger hunt and return it to one of the four locations where you can get your prize (Creations, World Traveler, Port of Entry, or Disney Traders), you’ll receive a cute Orange Bird Magnet as your prize.

We aren’t quite sure why this prize changed, but it could be because they ran out of the corn hole sets and have this prize as a backup. We’re really hoping they’ve ordered more of the mini corn hole sets and they return before the end of the festival, but there’s no guarantee of that.

New magnet!

The Flower & Garden festival has TWO scavenger hunts for you to participate in — Spike’s Pollen Nation Exploration and the limited-time Egg-Stravaganza Scavenger Hunt. That’s two opportunities for two prizes! Don’t miss out on all the fun at the 2024 Flower & Garden Festival.
