Festival merchandise includes apparel, headwear and drinkware featuring characters like Orange Bird, Spike the Bee, Minnie Mouse and Figment.
The festival is modified just like other events that have taken place at the theme park amid the coronavirus pandemic. Last year’s flower and garden festival was cut short as Walt Disney World closed on March 15 out of an abundance of caution for its employees and guests. Walt Disney World later reopened to guests in July.
The Taste of EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is free with park admission and will run through July 5.
