If you’ve ever been to EPCOT, you know that the rope drop rush can be exhilarating. Whether you’re racing to Guardians of the Galaxy or Test Track, things can get hectic – fast! Which is why our new EPCOT rope drop spot isn’t what you’re thinking…
So pretty!
During EPCOT’s Flower & Garden Festival, the butterfly room is a hidden gem where you can step away from the hustle and bustle of the park. But did you know that the best time to visit is in the morning?
When we were walking around EPCOT recently, a Cast Member working outside Butterfly Landing stopped us and asked if we’d want to see a ton of butterflies, so obviously we said yes and followed her in!
Butterfly Landing
She told us that the butterflies are most active in the morning, especially around 9 and 10 AM, when most people are rushing to rides. It’s cool enough that they can fly with ease despite the Florida heat, and they’ll have an easier time foraging among flowers and leaves. Plus, this is the time of day when they’ll often cluster together in groups, making them way easier to spot!

Because of the hustle and bustle of rope drop, it was just us and the Cast Members inside the butterfly room at 9:30! It was so peaceful and serene that we almost forgot we were in a theme park. We got so many awesome pictures of the gorgeous butterflies!
Butterflies!
If you want to check out Butterfly Landing on your next EPCOT morning, this year’s butterfly room is located between The Land pavilion and Journey Into Imagination With Figment. It closes daily at dusk so the butterflies can rest at night. It’s only available during the Flower & Garden Festival, which ends on June 1st, 2026, so hurry to EPCOT before it’s gone until next year!
