EPCOT's The Land Pavilion will offer a special limited-time tour this holiday season: Behind the Seeds: Glimmering Greenhouses.

This one-hour walking tour will take guests through the greenhouses at The Land, with a holiday twist, featuring festive light displays and a focus on the crops that enhance traditional holiday flavors.

Tour Details

The Glimmering Greenhouses tour will be available from November 29 through December 30, 2024, at 6:00 pm and 7:00 pm daily. Tickets for the experience are $45 per person, with tax not included. It's suitable for all ages, though a paying adult must accompany guests under 18. Participants will need to purchase valid admission to EPCOT, and a park reservation may be required depending on your ticket type.

What to Expect

During this tour, guests will:

  • Learn about the role crops play in holiday traditions.
  • See sustainable growing techniques used in the hydroponic greenhouses.
  • Experience festive lighting displays throughout the greenhouses.

The Behind the Seeds tour is a well-established offering at EPCOT, and this holiday version brings an additional seasonal element to the experience. The Behind the Seeds tour is still available during the day.

Advance reservations for the Glimmering Greenhouses tour are highly recommended due to limited availability and will be available online or via the My Disney Experience app. Same-day reservations may be available but are not guaranteed. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the tour time will forfeit the full price of the ticket.

That’s…special. Should’ve come down when Festival of the Holidays ended.

EPCOT still has holiday decor up today on day one of Festival of the Arts.

Can't. They first need to have the brand-new Mickey's Egg-stravaganza Easter parties, followed by the debuting Mickey's Summer-tastic Party. Only then can they think about Halloween parties in early August.

EPCOT today still has the American Adventure Tree and most its its entrance and World Showcase decor up. It is going to be a busy night tonight!

Not Halfway to Halloween. Halfway to Halfway to Halloween. That should be like right now! They should have parties!

Keep decorations up for Chinese New Years!!

They have in the past (though not last year, I don’t think). Some years, there were even special treats that week in April.

Perhaps they’re just a little early for Christmas 2025.

And the Christmas music is still playing.

Lol, well a lot more would be better if WDW was like Tokyo lol, but anyway. It is a shame WDW doesn’t do more for Easter.
